more he is worth to the man who
buys and the man who sells him.
For a good many years l have been
buying feeder steers shipped into
stockyard, shipping them about
eighty miles and finishing them on
corn and roughage. Most of them are
western cattle. They are little slow

ten very rapidly little later in their
feeding. 1t is better to buy them by
carload lots, in order to save money
on the yardage, the commission and
the freight. A carload of such steers
will run from eighteen to twenty-five
head.
The change in the steer during the
finishing period is remarkable.

The feeder steer is valuable to the
man with ready money for his pur-
chase, and the feed necessary for his
finishing up into a fat steer. If you
are able to turn him into an animal
that will yield a minimum of waste
and a maximum of carcass, you have
an animal that will make the feeding
of corn that costs as high as 80 cents
a bushel profitable.

Benefits of Fall PloWtru

Fall blowing has many advantages
Perhaps the greatest one among them
all is the fact that it does great
oeal of helping to avoid the usual
rush of spring work. In these days
of~labor scarcity, this means a great
deal. Fall blowing is also very eff
ficient in conserving the moisture sup
ply owing to the creation of mulch
at the surface during the winter and
spring months. The practice of fall
blowing is not adapted to a section
where the soil blows badly, but there
are really few such sections in the
middle west

Americans who go to the fatherland

army, the sleepy capital of the Grand

after the Napoleonic wars.

Ascends to 1892 Feet.

Beyond the Jungfraujoch the railway
line ascends to the Jungfrau station Q3,-
432 feet, whence a lift 24O feet in height
will convey the passengers to the summit
of the mountain O3,672 feet above sea
leveD, from which the most exquisite of
panoramas will reveal itself to the on
locker.
Above the blue sky will stretch like a
gigantic dome, while all around are hum
dreds of mountains and valleys, and an
endless array of snowy peaks. In the
east the Silvretta, Bernina Monte Leone,
ETC.; in the south the Monte Rosa, the
Matterhorn and the Mont-Blanc; in the
east the mountains of France. while in the
north the eye will discover the green
foothills of the Alps, as well as the plains
wrapped in a blue haze.
For many reasons the engineers could
not profit by the experience acquired In
the construction of other railways: they
had to invent and construct devices and
appliances which will be serviceable to
those WHO follow them in similar under
takings.
The Jungfrau railway also will render
important services to various sciences, to
meteorology, to physiology, biology and
geology, but at present 1t is the public
generally who chiefly benefit by the en-
terprise.
