WINTER FED HEIFERS.
Found Profitable by Illinois Man With
Long Experience.

The average farmer who desires TO
feed a few beef animals for market
almost invariably purchases thin steers
or range cattle that will finish well at
minimum expense when given q lib
eral grain ration In addition TO plenty
OF roughage. ii. +. Ross Of Illinois
differs from most farmers in this re-
spect, for he asserts and has actually
proved by practical results that there
is relatively greater profit In feeding
heifers for the central market than in
adhering TO the old plan OF finishing
grass fed steers. He watched the
market offerings very closely. and
whenever good heifers were put up
for sale. II the price was right. he
bought and sent them to the feed lot
on his farm.
On his 400 acre farm he produces
all the grain and roughage that he
feeds and buys only oilmeal. This he
uses In large amounts In the ration,
for he considers il n OF the best Of
concentrates on which to finish feed
ers TO that desirable condition hat
commands a top price on the market.
AS a rule. he prefers to buy up west.
ern heifers and feed them through the
winter, unloading them In prime con.
dition on the market along in May,
when the supply OF good heifer stock
is extremely scarce and the price con-
s~equently high.
Ordinarily he winters from 100 to
80 head, fed abundantly on corn fod-
der, crushed and broken ear corn,
timothy and clover hay and either oil.
meal or ~cottonseed meal. As soon as
the feeders begin to get used to the
grain they are put in the feed lot and
allowed continual access to the self
feeding devices that are kept loaded
with grain.
Under his system OF management
Mr.. Ross maintains that he derives
much greater profit than he possibly
could were he to attempt TO feed
steers, a business that is already over
crowded. This necessarily means that
usually a large supply OF finished
steers will be marketed at the end of
the winter and summer feeding sea-
sons. IL a farmer is going to try this
branch of the business he should at
least hold his stock as long as posi-

The Fairy In Armor

He put his acorn helmet on.
1t was plumed with the silk OF the thistle
down.
The corselet plate that guarded his breast
Was once the wild bees golden vest.
His cloak of a thousand mingled dyes
Was formed OF the wings OF butterflies.
His shield was the shell OF a ladybug
queen,
Studs OF gold on a ground OF green.
And the quivering lance which he bran
dished bright
Was the sting OF a wasp he had slain In
a fight.
Swift he bestrode his FREELY steed.
He barred his blade OF the bent grass blue,
He drove his spurs of the cookie seed,
And away like a glance OF thought he

A SWIMMING" AERO

An aeroplane that will also travel
like a motorboat, so that an aviator
who falls into rough water may reach
shore again, is the mex thing In flying
machines. Walter r. Brookins will
test snch an airship in the spring.
The idea is to go one step ahead of
the hydroaeroplane," says Mr.. Brook
ms. The whole machine will weigh
about 100 pounds, which is a little
heavier than the present day aero
plane. II will be possible to lift with
1t three medium sized persons. The
present hydroaeroplane cannot n
yer much in a rough or choppy sea,
but the motorboat-aeroplane will be
able TO travel through water as any
thirty-five foot boat does.
"In the water the machine will have
a speed of about fifteen miles; in the
air it ought TO be able to go sixty
miles. 1t will prove a valuable i'm
provement. especially for the aeroplane
used in the navy. and will also appeal
to sportsmen."

Review of the Worlds Events

TN view Of the twenty-five year re-
tirement bill the following from
the American publication Our
- Navy is OF interest:
Our navy believes that the naval
profession is a good business and that
the majority Of the enlisted men would
make it a life business. as do the OFF,
GERS, IL the country would only meet
them halfway. Natural men like to
live natural lives. and the majority
of American men-of-war's men enforce
their demands TO be allowed to live
normal lives by refusing to ship over.
This Is inevitable under the system Of
assigning men to duty. and 1t hurts the
service. 1t also costs the taxpayers
vast sums OF money to maintain re-
cruiting stations and train new men.
And the ideas OF the men for a bet
terment of this condition are not at all
unreasonable or impracticable. All
they ask is a fair shake. One cruise
ashore to one at sea in time of peace,
with a careful study and application
of minor reforms tending 10 render
their daily routine life more comfort
able, would hold a vast number Of hon
orable, well trained men who nov

TO POLISH HORNS.
A Method Found Highly Satisfactory
For Show Cattle.

TOR onoW Odttios
A. L. c., a subscriber. suggests the
following method OF polishing the horns
Of cattle for show as one which he has
used with excellent results. He uses
the coarse rasp first and then the fine
rasp, after which he scrapes the horn
with glass and next uses both the
coarse and fine sand paper or emery
cloth. After finishing the smoothing
process with these he uses the leather
strap with powdered charcoal. using
the flesh side of the strap on the horn
at this time. He then reverses the
strap and applies it diligently to OBJ
tain a perfectly smooth surface and
when this is obtained applies sweet oil
with a wooden cloth as the finishing
touch.-Wisconsin Agriculturist.

Why Turkeys Pine.

Turkeys need range. They require it
from start to finish. They want to be
constantly on the move and prefer to
spend their nights outdoors. They are
naturally of a rugged nature; 1t is man
that has made them delicate. They
cannot stand pampering, and when
confined to run and compelled to
house at night they soon lose their vim
and readily become prey to disease

DESTROYING rERieERI

Another great victory for the army
medical officers has been scored in the
Philippines in the eradication of beri-
berf. During the Hrst five months OF
1911 there was but one case Of this dis
a 8 among the Philippine scouts. 1t
Ia now considered practically nonexist-
emit among native soldiers. There were
but FIVE admissions to hospitals during
the year just past as compared with
$50 In 1909 and 1S9 in 1910. The Fill
pino ration is the anne as that used in
1908 and 1909, with the exception that
unpublished rice has been used and the
amount limited to sixteen ounces. 1t
Is considered that this is the key to the
situation and that another rear will
entirely wipe out this disease. The use
of unpublished rice and the reduction in
quantity are considered sufficient in
themselves to prevent the occurrence
Of beriberi. The polished rice theory
of beriberi production is fully sustain
ed by the figures of the last year and
reflects great credit on the medical Off
GERS of the army in their successful
campaign against this tropical disease.
