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

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 a lib
eral grain ration in addition to plenty
of roughage. H. f. 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, If 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 it one of the best of
concentrates on which to finish feed
ers to that desirable condition that
commands top price on the market.
AS rule, he prefers to buy up west
ern nelferS 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-
sequently high.
Ordinarily he winters from 100 to
150 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, 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. If farmer is going to try this
branch of the business he should at
least hold his stock as long as posi-

NEVADA DIVORCES

Governor eddie of Nevada has prom
that state. The present law there re-
quires a residence of six months.
I'VE will pass a law as soon as pos
sible," said Governor Oddie recently,
(which will require all persons who
want Nevada divorces to live in the
state one year at least before making
application.
II believe the time has come for US
here in the United States to take a
firm stand upon this question, to work
for a uniform divorce law that will
regulate this evil and will result in
more justice to all concerned. 1 am
of the opinion that the divorce laws
of New York state and some other
commonwealth are too stringent and
that the laws of Nevada and some
others are too lax perhaps. 1 have ad-
vocated and many others are advocat-
ing the passage of uniform laws in
all the states upon this matter.
1.-THE divorce business has brought
a great deal of money to Reno, but it
is money that the people of Nevada do
not want. We do not need it, and we
do not want it, The manhood and
the womanhood of Nevada are as high
as in any other state, and the spiritual
life among the people is very deep.

openness of Nevada has taken deep

He put his acorn helmet
1t was plumed with the silk of the thistle

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 ladybug

Studs of gold ground of green.
And the Quivering lance which he bran
dished bright
Was the sting of wasp he had slain in
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 glance Of thought he

To skim the heavens and follow far

"A Discussion Of Timely Farm Topics
KILL CATERPILLAR BEFORE
1T INJURIES YOUR TREES.
Spraying With Arsenate of Lead and
Destruction at Time of Winter
Pruning Are Recommended

The tent caterpillars, one OF the COM
mon species, scientifically known as
Malacosoma erosa, have made forays
on various parts of the country at diff
ferent intervals, sometimes causing
more than temporary Inconvenience
and loss, says the Oregon Agricultural
college At one time during the sum-
mer of 1911 they were so thick ON the
railroad tracks between California and
Oregon in the mountains as to delay
trains by making the rails slippery on
grades They swept over suburban
portions of Portland and other cities,
injuring and in some cases killing large
numbers of shade and ornamental
trees. They have also ravaged many
orchards in different sections of the
country, so that much interest and Inn
portance attach to the different means
of exterminating them.
There are, of course, natural enc
mics, as Brewers blackbird, which is
fond of the pupae and tears open the
cocoons to feed upon them; the little
fly which lays eggs on the larvae
which when Matched are minute worms
that bore into the caterpillars, feed on
their tissues and thus eventually kill
them, and a fungous disease which in
warm wet weather causes the cater
pillars to shrink up and die.
In fruit orchards ordinary spraying
with arsenate of lead, as for the cod
ling moth, is sufficient. The egg mass
es remain on the twigs during the win
ter, so the major part of them may be
destroyed at the time of winter prun-
ing, or the tents formed in the spring
may be burned out with torches Shade
trees may be sprayed with arsenate Of
lead, three pounds to fifty gallons Of
water.

GOOD THINGS TO KNOW.
How to Keep cabbages.

How to Keep Cabbages.
One of the difficulties that cabbage
presents is that it must be carefully
stored to prevent decay. In cold eli
mates the best plan is to place the cab
bages in long narrow piles out Of doors,
cover with old hay, leaves or other dry
litter and allow the piles to freeze. If
they remain frozen no decay will oc-
cur, and when the cabbage is wanted
for use small quantity may be
brought into a cellar or a warm-room
and allowed to thaw before using. An
other good plan where SHOWS are light
and the ground does not freeze deeply
is to plow a double furrow in a dry
soil and place the cabbage therein in
two lines with the heads as close to-
gether as possible, roots downward.
Then plow the soil back over the heads.
The whole line should now be cover
ed with dry litter of some kind to keep
out the frost. The cabbage can be
dug as wanted throughout the winter,
and when small quantity of the out
side leaves is removed it will be found
in good condition for use. = Country

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

For Show Cattle.
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.

Review of the Worlds Events

- y 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, if 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 it 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 bet
terment of this condition are not tan
unreasonable or impracticable. All
they ask is a fair shake. One cruise
ashore to one at sea in time of peace,
with careful study and application
of minor reforms tending to render
their daily routine life more comfort
able, would hold a vast number of hon
orable, well trained men who now
count the hours and watch the time

FOR THE HOME MERCHANT.
Follow the Tactics of the Catalogue
Houses.


Houses.
Much has been written about the
subtle influence of the big four pound
catalogues sent broadcast over the land
by the houses located in the big cities
which, strange to say, refuse to sell
goods to the residents of the cities in
which they are located.
There is no mysterious element in
these bulky paper books, writes D. NJ.
Carr. From cover to cover they are
filed with pictures and with prices and
descriptions of goods. The power of
printers ink is the only magnet, and
this magnet can be used by merchants
everywhere The publishers of these
great catalogues do business running
well up toward the fifty millions year
ly. All their success has been in the
ink they use and the way they use it.
Because these concerns receive pat
ronage that should go to the home
merchant it is the home merchants
fault, Mr.. Carr argues The home mer
chant neglects to do just what the
houses which publish the big cata-
logues do. He may not have the mon
ey to get out such great list, neither
the means of carrying great stocks of
goods Yet he possesses all the means
necessary to gain the trade that goes
to these great concerns. He can buy
goods just as low, has less expense,
and. while the big catalogue goes to
customer only once in year or two,
through the medium of the local news
paper the merchant can go TO all the
people of the community once n week
and at the lowest expense.

DESTROYING RERIBERI

Another great victory for the army
medical officers has been scored in the
Philippines in the eradication of beri-
beri. During the first five months of
1911 there was but one case of this dis
ease among the Philippine scouts. 1t
Is now considered practically nonexist-
ent 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
Pine ration is the same 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 year 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.
