VALUE OF THE HEIFER BEEF
Meat Is Finer in Grain and Better,
and There Is No Waste-No Rea-
son for Discrimination.

Professor Kennedy of the Iowa
college. while in England a few years
ago, expressed great surprise at dis.
covering that butchers pay a higher
price for heifer beef than for steer
beef Of the same age and condition Of
flesh.
Henry Wallace says this was also a
surprise to him the first time he went
abroad. He found that the butchers
were willing to give a premium on
heifers over steers and we found that
in n or two districts of England
butchers would buy only heifers II
they could get them.
The reasons given by the butchers
are that the grain of the flesh is finer,
the bone smaller, and therefore the
hetfer cuts up better than the steer of
the same age and furnishes a better
capacity for beef. I'VE remember
when a boy at home" says Mr.. Wal
lace, when a beef was to be killed in
the fall of the year, mother always
insisted on killing a heifer, giving the
exact reasons stated by Professor
Kennedy as given by the butchers at
Liverpool-that the meat of the heifer
was finer in the grain and better and
there was less waste"
There is absolutely no sense or
reason for the discrimination made
against heifer beef In the United
States. With COY beef it is somewhat
different. for the reason that a COW
that has produced a number of calves
will not dress as large a per cent. of
beef and the animal being older will
not have the same tenderness nor fine
quality.
A half a cent a pound, however,
should be ample to cover this shrink.
age; whereas a heifer is really enti-
tied to a premium over the steer OF
from a quarter to half a cent.

Prior to his debut as a ewspap

Afterward he did manual work on

came a waiter In a cafe.
Following this he had a place as a

cholera epidemic in the latter sixties
he was a grave digger.

In Dry Northwest II Has Met With
Considerable Favor-lt Reslsts
Drought SpIendidiy.

Durum wheat is generally grown as
q spring wheat. In the dry northwest
1t has met with considerable favor. It
generally ~out-yields spring wheat and
resists drought splendidly. The great
est objection to growing macaroni
wheat in this country has been the
lack of market. the millers at first
discriminating against 1t. Analyses
indicate that Durum Wheat has a high
value for feeding purposes. being con-
siderably richer in protein than or.
binary wheat. says the Wallaces'
Farmer. 1t is so hard, though, that it
must be ground before being fed. We
have reason to suspect that a larger
amount OF feeding nutrients can be
obtained from an acre of Durum wheat
in a dry season than from any other
spring grain unless 1t be barley or
corn.
Durum wheat does not stool quite
as much as ordinary spring wheat,
and consequently should be sown a lit
tie thicker. A bushel n a half to
two bushels to the acre is about right.

BEST SOIL FOR DRY FARMING
Only Types Of Lspd Not Adapted Are
AIkaii, Heavy Gumbo or Light
Sandy or GravelIy.

(By H. F. PATTERSON. Montana Sta
TONI
During the past two years we have
received a large number of inquiries
as to the best type of land for dry
farming. There are a number OF DIFF
ferent types upon which farmers have
had good success by following dry
farming principles. The only types OF
soil that are not well adapted to dry
farming are alkali lands, heavy gum
DO lands. or light sandy or gravelly
soils, for the reason that they do not
have a good physical condition. The
clay and alkali soils are SO fine In
texture that 1t Is almost impossible
for the plants to make use OF the
moisture hat these soils contain. The
sandy soils are SO open and porous
that they will not hold any of the
water and 30 are not well adapted to
dry land farming. OF these two types
OF soil the heavy clay and the sandy,
the former is more desirable.
The subsoil is important in determin-
ing whether a land is we'll adapted for
dry farming methods or not. The sub
soil should be of such a nature as to
absorb and hold a large amount Of wa
ter. 1t Is in the subsoil that we find
the moisture reservoir, and unless this
soil Is of such a character as to hold
the moisture. we are going to have a
great deal of trouble in trying to dry
farm it.
The best type Of soil for dry land
farming is a sandy clay loan, a soil
that has the power of absorbing and
holding a large amount of moisture
and that can be cry easily worked.
and upon which the dust mulch can be
easily maintained. 1t is very difficult
to maintain a dust mulch pom a
heavy, slip. clay soil, whereas upon
a sandy loan this mulch can be main
tanned without a great deal of work.
The slope of the land best adapted
for dry land agriculture varies with
the different localities. Farmers, as a
rule, prefer the land that slopes gently
towards the north or the northeast.
This, however, is not the most impor-
tant point, but one worthy of full con-
sideration when choosing a farm. The
north slope escapes the direct rays of
the sun to a degree, is a trif1e later
starting in the spring, which is fire.

not apt to suffer from hot winds and
