Problem. in c.tt,. Feeding.

Cattle feeding must be studied like
any other line of business which re-
quires a lot OF hard work, good juds-
ment and large capital. We must make
a profit on the live stock we feed, II
we are to continue in the business, and
this on high priced feed grown upon
high priced land and produced at a
high cost OF farm labor. The raising OF
ones own steers is TO be encouraged
as much as possible, but the ones we
buy must be OF the feeder type which

Out In Arid Kansas.

Out In western Kansas, where the
state gradually rises toward the Colo
RADIO plateau, one other thing IL hap
pen1ng to show how unsound were the
early theories regarding the great Am
erican desert. All newspaper readers
are now familiar with the achieve
ments Of irrigation and dry farming.
with the wonderful results derived
from seed accltmatization, with the tri-
umpns Of such growths as alfalfa and
kafYir corn. There are parts Of Kansas
which have heretofore been beyond
the reach Of irrigat ton. parts so dry as
TO discourage the dry farmer. This arid
section. so-called, is Ear removed from
the nearest mountain stream: even the
meandering and wandering Platte In
the freshet season has avoided 1t.
Strange to say. however, 1t was once
grazing ground for the Am erican bison,
later for the Texas steer, and in view
of the fact that even the dew was sell
dom heavy enough to noisten the buf-
falo grass, the observant prospector
was puzzled for years by the strange
phenomenon of vegetation
The puzzle has been solved. Western
Kansas, and wide belt Of desert
IL nd" that stretches to the south and
into Texas, form what for convenience
may be called the roof Of an under
ground fresh water lake. This discov-
cry was made in the Lone Star state
some time ago, and 1t has resulted IN
Transforming great sections OF land
from a condition Of aridity to one Of
great fertility. Only recently have the
dry farmers Of western Kansas Struck
water" but already thousands Of der
ricks, each representing an individual
water plant, have been erected. A sin
gle we'll yields water enough to irri-
cate a farm OF 100 acres. It is predict
ed by those On the ground that the
present year will witness the building
Of no less than 10000 of these derricks
In Sherman, Goodland and adjoining
counties.
All this will recall the days Of the
Pennsylvania petroleum boom. AS q
matter Of fact, oil was never a more
valuable find to the small Pennsylvania
farmer Of fifty years ago than water
has been TO the western Kansas settler
of our time. The latter is erecting his
derrick, to be replaced shortly by
windmill. with much the same kind OF
enthusiasm that inspired the oil strik-
er Of half century ago. And, talking
Of windrills. it is predicted that with
in five years western Kansas will have
more OF them than Holland. 1t ought to

New Chin. to Stop Famine.

Methods Of scientific charity are for
the first time being applied to the
relief of the great famine which ID

revolution. Sun Vat Sen, recently

government will take steps to prevent
famines in the future. "Such condt

have had much to do" says Earl II.

The feeder must look nearer home for
his steers and to relieve the impend-
ing shortage in beef animals in the
corn belt he must raise them him self.
The feed problem must be studied
and the stock kept in a good growing
condition until they are ready to be
fattened and crowded onto the market.
Not only economic feeds and balanced
rations must be included. but the
housing and convenience of handling
the stock must be studied to curtail
high priced labor as much as posi-
BILE. There is absolutely no room nor
excuse for the scrub steer on the farm
in these days of improved live stock.
and the man who raises and feeds a
bunch Of poorlybred steers is playing
a losing game. On the other hand. the
feeder who buys poorly bred steers to
feed off will not gain enough weight to
pay for the high priced feed and his
profits will be contingent on the adj
vance in the market over the original.

date use. In making selection OF q
breeding bull, 1t need hardly be said
that the very best animal should be
procured that can be obtained at a
reasonable price. that it should be we'll
bred. and true to type OF breed to
which 1t belongs, Of individual merit
as we'll as coming OF a long line OF
meritorious ancestors, and possessed
Of strong. vigorous constitution. In
the case Of the bull calf the youngster
should be kept on milk. new for pref
erence, until six or eight months old.
and gradually taught during this per-
iod to take an increasing quantity CT
solid food. so as not to have an abrupt
transition. Bulls intended for show u.s.
UaIly get all the milk they can take
until they are twelve months old, and
a good quantity of other rich food as
well. The bull calf should get a little
sweet hay, or hay and green stuff, AS
soon as he Will pick at it. and should
also have regular allowance OF dry
food such as bran, ground oats. and
little oil meal 1t should have good pure
water to drink, at least twice a day.
and more frequently in hot weather.
During the growing period the more
exercise allowed the better. SO as he
is taught to stand hard when re-
quired. The breaking Of the bull is Of
the utmost importance. and teaching
the bull calf to lead, and turn to either
hand should not be confined to anil
mails intended for exhibition. He should
be first haltered and tied UP in such a
way as not to hurt himself. Struggling
is to be expected, and temper may be

ness and generally there is complete
surrender in a few days. and the sub
ject quickly learns to stand quietly. AT
about the same time the animal should
be taught to submit to have its feet
lifted and held up, SO that later no
trouble Is experienced when these have
to be examined and require reducing
for oyergrowth. The hind hoofs OF the
bull kept in first confinement are II
able to grow long and unshapely. There
is no wear, as there would be In
state OF nature. unless they shape up
themselves and prevent the animal
from walking squarely on his feet
When the hoofs get into this condition
they should be shaped properly by
means OF saw and chisel. and then
when this has to be done the advant-
age OF previous training to submit to
the feet being manipulated. becomes
apparent. Bull calves should be hand
led, grooned, taught to lead and walk.
and generally submit to the same dis
cipline as the COW. except that 1t
should commence earlier. AS rule,
the young bull should be hinged when
ten or twelve months old, before ne
begins to show sauciness.

ZAPATA, Fighting gen. MADERO,

MEXICO CITY, Mex. Feb. "a. --
Should the rebellion naugurated by

Previous revolutions have received
rheir impetus from men of high intel

Iapata's most advanced point in the
social plane was that of an itinerant
merchant, peddler. Omcially his
name had been written on the records

The man can read and write, and has
the rudiments of common school ed

a shrewdness which, combined with a
stubbOrnness, personal magnetism
and n bravery which no one denies,
makes him person truly formidable.

between 80 and 40 years of age. Prac-
tically no Spanish blood contributed
