FEEDING CATTLE.
FOR FIRST TIME
Profit Depends on Steady, Con-
sistent Gains From
RationS.

Those who are feeding cattle for the
first time this season should remember
that getting a bunch of steers on full
feed is a matter that requires about a
months time. High-pressure feeding is
an entirely different proposition from
ordinary rations and the animal must
gradually get accustomed to the
change If he is to continue to make
consistent gains throughout the feed
ing period. Most feeders prefer to
start their cattle on grass, giving a
few stalks of fodder corn a day to
each steer and gradually increasing.
The change is then made to snapped
corn fed in the hunks, the final change
then being made to husked corn or
whatever form the grain is fed in
Every time the ration is changed
such changes should be made gradual.
ly. This applies especially to the first
few weeks In which the feeding is
started and to the latter period of the
feeding operation, when there is the
more danger OF getting the stock off
feed. And remember, the profit in
feeding cattle depends on steady, con.
sistent gains. meaning good returns
for the feed consumed, every time
they get off feed meaning just SO
much lost time.

PROBLEM OF MOST PROFITABLE BREED
OF SWINE is DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE
Many People Say "RaSe the Breed You Like Best and You VIII
Be Successful" but That Is Not Always the Case-Expe-
enCe of Maryland Hog Raiser May Help Others.

The question of which breed Of
hogs to raise in order to obtain the
biggest profit, has proven very seri-
Gus one with many farmers. Some
people say, raise the breed you like
best, and you will be successful"
but that is not always the case.
The following experience of a Mary
land man may help other swine breed
ers.
From an experience Of over 80
years In hog raising during which time
l have tried almost all of the popular
breeds | have settled upon the Berk-
shires and their crosses as the most
profitable hog for me. Thirty-one
years ago broke away from the ra-
zor-back, and invested in a pair of
pure-bred Essex pigs but soon found
that they were too small for profit.

WANTED TO FINISH THE JOB
Pride in His Work, Not Tender Heart,
Was What Induced the Chauffeur
to Return.

They were going along the public
highway at a leisurely rate of forty
miles per hour, when a decrepit hen
and rooster started to do the chicken
special-cross the road.
The front and hind wheels on the
right side struck the poor, old, stiff
jointed rooster amidships, and with
one squawk he succumbed.
Immediately the man at the steering
wheel started to slow down and to
look about for a place to turn.
His solicitous wife turned to her
seatmate and said:
Isn't that just like his tender heart q?
He won't be satisfied unless he goes
back and settles for that rooster. He
just can't bear to feel he has injured
anyone or anything"
Then louder, to her husband, she
said: George, remember that ap-
pointment. We haven't any time to
go back for anything"
CHANGING at the clock near his feet
and at the speedometer near by, he
sighed and said:
You're right, Jennie; but | just
know if L had turned back l could
have killed that old hen just as easy
as | did the rooster. Judge

MAKING smithfield Hams.

After the hogs have been killed and
the meat thoroughly cooled the fresh
surface is sprinkled with fine salt
peter until the meat is white, says
the Farm Magazine. About three or
four pounds of saltpeter is used to
1000 pounds of hams. Fine salt is
then rubbed over the entire surface
and the hams are packed In bulk not
deeper than three feet. In ordinary
weather they should remain thus for
several days, at least three. Then
break the bulk and resalt with fine
salt and again pack. Each ham should
remain in bulk at least one day for
each pound of weight. The hams are
then hung up and gradually smoked
for 80 or 40 days with hickory or red
oak bark. When the smoking is COM
plete they should be repeppered and
placed in canvass bags to guard
against vermin. The Smithfield hams
cured as indicated improve with age.
