BEEF CATTLE IN IOWA
Prof. j. w. Kennedy of Iowa Agri.
cultural College, Discusses
Situation.
POPULATION INCREASES AND
CATTLE RAISING DECREASES
Beef Production and the Cost OF
Living One of the All I'M
portant Questions of the
Present Day.

Why ere beefsteaks and beef cat,
tie so high in price as compared to
six, ten, CT fifteen years ago? viii
twenty-five cent oats and thirty-five
cent corn bring the price of beef
down to its former level? These are
some of the questions which people
in every walk of life are asking al
the present time.
In measure, at least, this ques.
ton may be answered by the appli-
cation of the law of supply and de-
mand. During the past twelve years
our population has increased about
25 per cent, while our supply of beef
cattle has decreased over 80 per cent
These figures would not indicate any
very immediate relief to the consum-
err The end is not yet. Next year
and each succeeding year for at least
three years will see a much shorter
supply of beef cattle than at the pres
ent time. This will be due to the
fact that the present high prices for
beef cattle are causing thousands up
on thousands of cows and heifers to
be sent to the slaughter house, which
under ordinary circumstances would
and should be retained for breeding
purposes. 1t is case of killing the
goose that laid the golden egg.
The ranges of the northwest, the
west and southwest, which in the
past, constituted the greatest feeder
cattle producing territory in the
world, have seen their best days.
They are carrying today just about
one-half the number of cattle they
carried eight, ten, or fifteen years
ago. Irrigation. dry land farming,
and the more general introduction of
sheep, have driven large number of
the range cattle men out of business.
Even the corn belt states have fallen
off from % to so per cent in beef
cattle during the past ten years.
In the past, Iowa has been famous
as a cattle feeding state. True, we
have had some real beef produc-
ers," but the large majority of our
men have been cattle feeders. F"
From now, conditions will gradually
change. Beef production will be-
come a more and more important in

make 1t a paying proposition. The
butter made from the milk should
pay the keep of the COW and in addi-
ton provide balance on the right
side of the ledger. The calves reared
on skim milk and grain adjuncts
should weigh around seven hundred
pounds at twelve months at a cost
not to exceed thirty dollars. These
animals can be put on the market at
from 1900 to 1900 pounds at TWEEN
ty-four months of age and show good
profits for all feed consumed. If the
man wishes to milk his COWS the last
method is recommended as one which
should bring success. If labor is
scarce and no dairying is desired why
the baby beef proposition is the only
one to follow. 1t requires less labor
but demands more judgment in the
selection of the sires and the feed
ing of the offspring because the pay
ment of all feed bills and profits
must come from the animals market
ed for beef.

SUGGESTING SUICIDE?

A medical journal insists that the
effect of reading details of suicide is
to suggest suicide to the reader and
is powerful factor in the causa-
ton of suicide among susceptible
persons" This recalls that the
American Medical Association two
years ago adopted resolutions to the
same effect and recommended to the
public press the suppression of de-
tails of suicides.
There isn't much doubt that the
medical persons are right in their
assertion that the reader of a suicide
story finds suggestion for himself in
tiff he is ready through despond-
ency or other causes to take his own
life. Suicide seems to have con-
tagion in it as note so-called "epi-
denies" of suicide which sometimes
occur among younger persons. No
doubt there is as the doctors say,
some suggestion in the newspaper
story of suicide.
But there is something much more
in it. There is public protection
against concealed crime. Aside from
the satisfying of the public demand
for news, the newspaper with it's
trained reportorial observer, prying
into every detail and testing one
against the other uncovers sometime
murder and by the certainty of its in
vestigation, prevents other murders.
The criminal who frames up suicide
to cover murder must stand the test
of a battery of shrewd investigators
usually keener than the legal officers
and of great assistance to the au-
thorities.
There is suggestion in practically
every story of crime, but the public
ity of crime is the surest protection
to the public and the strongest pre-
ventive to the committing of crime.

los, more blue grass pastures, large
ly increased acreage of alfalfa, less
soil robbing, and more permanent
form Of agriculture.
BY the term cattle feeding, we
mean the fattening of more or less
mature steers for the market. These
cattle may be home grown or pro-
duced on the ranges of the north
west, the west, or the southwest. In
the past the majority of such cattle
have come from the range sections
and have remained on the Iowa farms
from four to twelve months, or long
enough to make them marketable
beef.
The length of time and method of
feeding used depended upon the size
and condition of the cattle and the
purpose of the feeder Some men
have followed dry lot feeding, which
was done during the fall, winter, or
lspring months. Other men roughed
their cattle thro the winter months
in the stalk fields and finished them
on corn and grass during the sum-
mer and fall months. Where the cat
tie have been well bought and judic-
iously handled, very satisfactory re-
suits have been obtained from both
methods of feeding.
Until very recent years but little
or no attention was given to the
amount of corn fed to the cattle. The
hog has always been a part of the
cattle feeding business. He was used
to utilize what the steer wasted. With
plenty of thrifty, lightweight hogs
to follow the cattle, but little corn
was wasted except in real wet wealth
er and in muddy feed lots.
Such methods of feeding were
wasteful of the corn stalks. These
were seldom utilized. They were eth
err burned or plowed under. With
the introduction of the silo came
method for the general utilization of
the entire corn plant. Even at the
present time over half of the corn
stalks are really allowed to go to
waste. With the use of more silos
this waste will be gradually lessened.
The most difficult problem which
now confronts the cattle feeder is the
source of his supply Of feeders. In
former years the ranges produced an
abundance of feeder cattle. This
supply has fallen off very rapidly in
recent years. This means that the
cattle feeder as we knew him in the
past, must in a measure give way to
the beef producer.
Beef production is the all import
ant question of the day. Iowa needs
on an average 1000 beef producers
in each county. Each man to mar
ket about Is or 20 good 1000 pound

to 1900 pound fat animals each year
at $50 to 500 per head, making a
grand total of from S175, 100000 to
$500, 100000 worth of beef each
year. This would leave one hundred
thousand farmers for the dairy busi-
ness. 1t would mean the marketing
of our crops in the form of meat and
dairy products and would prove a
wonderful aid in the conservation of
the fertility of our SOIL 1t would
mean one or more silos on each farm
thus the utilization of our corn
stalks. We would then be on a par
with the good farmers of England
and Scotland and our land would be
paying dividends on from a 5000 to
$500 per acre valuation
BY beef production we mean the
growing and finishing of our own cat
tie for market. This requires skill
and good management to insure sue
cess. Haphazard methods of breed
ing and feeding have no place on the
farm of the beef producer. Good beef
sires of the early maturing kind, will
be demanded. Corn silage, alfalfa
and other palatable forms of rough
age will be fed in conjunction with
corn and heterogeneous concentrates.
The animal must weigh in the neigh
borhood of 1900 pounds at from IS
to "a months of age.
The next question is, how can this
be profitably done under Iowa condi-
tons? 1t has been and is now being
done in England and Scotland on land
which rents from So to $12 per acre
and it is now being done by some men
in practically all parts of Iowa. 1t is
problem which man must in a meas
ure solve for himself. In some in
stances the cows will be MIXED and
the calves reared on skim milk and
grain adjuncts. Others will make it
more of baby beef proposition. This
will depend upon the individual and
the breed he selects. Where Here
fords, Angus, or Galloways are used
the calves will be allowed to run with
their dams or perhaps one COW may
nurse two calves. These calves will be
pushed right along from birth and
marketed at about 8 or 20 months of
age, weighing around 1900 pounds.
Where IAis method is pursued great
care must be taken in the selection of
low set, thick fieshed, early maturing
type of sires. The calves must also be
literally fed so as not to lose their
milk flesh.
When Shorthorns are used, it may
be either baby beef proposition or a
milk and beef one. By the selection
of cows, with tendencies toward milk
production, milking the same and
rearing the calves on skim milk and
grain adjuncts, it is not difficult to
