land, and will leave four-htths
of it in the native grasses which
are adapted to the location, and
will dry farm enough to provide
himself with a cash crop and
winter forage to carry his cattle
through, he can make a very sat
isfactony living so far as max
ing money is concerned. The
land fever, however, has laid a
firm hold on the American peo-
pie, and prices will not decline
for number of years yet. Hence
we must not look for the usual
amount of cattle from the range.
Then we call attention to an
other point: that as long as the
cities increase in population,
there will be an increased de-
mand for milk, cream and butter,
and the land that can be devoted
to beef growing will be constant
~ lessened. 1t must be remem-
bered also that the progeny OF
the special purpose dairy COW
makes meat only in the form OF
veal, and that it is not a profit
able consumer of the forage that
grows on the farm, and has no
market value off the farm.
Again, we call the attention
of our readers to the fact that a
very large per cent of the men
who are farming in the humid
section are not stock farmers,
and can not easily be made over.
They are accustomed to grow
ing grain; understand that per-
fectly; and perhaps the most
skillful corn farmers and grain
growers in the world, so far as
the manipulation of the tools is
concerned. If their boys could
be kept on the farm, they might
| in time learn the art. of keeping
live stock. But the social life in
the grain farming sections is SO
lacking in all that delights the
heart of the boy, that these boys
will leave the farm and go to
grain growing somewhere else,
in Canada or in Montana, for
example.
For these reasons, and mas
much as the population of the
cities is continually increasing,
we see no grounds for hope OF
their getting, beef cheaper than
lit is today. 1t may be that a
bumper crop of corn will SO lower
the price that it will cheaper the
cost Of producing this beef, but
this will be only temporary. For,
do what we will. we do not seem
to have been able in the last ten
years to materially increase the
total amount of grains that we
put on the market.
Another consideration: Dry
seasons are likely to affect any
part of the humid section. We
have had dry seasons two years
in Iowa, as a result Of which pas
lures failed and hay twas worth
as muce, pound for pound, on the
/ farm as corn. We have had these
dry seasons frequently in the
I-past; and we will have them al
fternating in series with series OF
wet seasons in the future. Now,
what happens these dry years?

beef cheaper than now, speaking,
of course, Of the average, until
we increase the supply of cattle;
and we do not. see any place
where they can be increased ex-
cept on the farm.
Now, as to the second objec-
ton: We freely admit that the
farmer can not afford to keep
an average cow on land worth a
hundred dollars an acre for the
sole chance Of an average calf.
That is, we can not afford to
keep it until it is fit to go into
the feed lot as a two-year-old.
It does not follow that we can
not raise fat calves weighing
eight hundred pounds, or baby
beef weighing ten or eleven hum
dred pounds at a profit on the
farm.
We can not do it in the old
way, because the old way was
one that was justifiable only un-
der the conditions under which
it was adopted. when we had
unlimited range west of the Miss
ouri; when we had fenced land
for range even in a state like
Iowa; when we could keep cattle
for a dollar head on the aver
age summer and winter, and for
four dollars a head at the most
in the winter, as we have done
many a time on our own farms;
when we could buy steers COM
ing three years old, running
from ten to twelve hundred
pounds, we could make money
feeding corn to that class. of cat
tle.' 1t was a terrifically waste
full method, a method that would
be laughed at by feeders in Eu-
rope, a method that only the best
1 kind of character would make
these European feeders believe it
existed.
1t does not follow, however,
that cattle of the kind we have
described can not be grown on
the farm at a profit. Well, you
ask, how would you go about it?
In the first place, we would cut
down our acreage of corn. We
would adopt the motto which a
Massachusetts, friend sends US,
as follows: Cultivate half the
area at half the expense and
double the yield. Devote the
other half to pasture or forage
crops, in order to increase the
!, amount of live stock. Raise
. afty-six bushels of corn on one
J acre instead of on two acres, and
, Craze stock on the other acre. T"
This in itself would be sound
: doctrine, a watchword worthy of
being put in song or story, or
painted on the, farmers door.
: But the question arises: How
shall we handle the live stock?
The problem is an easy one for
! the dairyman, but be are talking
now about beef breeding, and
here's question we want to put
: up to all feeders: What will it
cost to grow a ten-rnonths-old
calf to eight hundred pounds, or
J a year-old calf to a thousand
! pounds?
: 1t will cost more than the calf
; will bring, if you let it run with
the dam till weaving time, and
lacerate the feelings of the cow
and have a most discOnsolate
calf if you simply wean it sud
denly and then allow your calf
to lose fifty pounds and get a
check that the butcher can de-

A THIS

Preparations are being made for
laying a new kind Of pavement on
Paterson. street that may near a
great deal for the future of Perth
Amboy. This pavement is the out
come of the ideas of Carl G. Chris
Jensen, who owns a great deal of
property on Paterson street; F. A.
Seaman, chairman of the street COM
mittee of the Board of Aldermen,
and City Engineer Mason.
> The pavement is modelled after
something that Mr.. Christensen saw
in the west. It's cost is about half
of what the permanent material
costs and it is believed that it will
be as lasting as any, particularly for
residential streets where the traffic
is not heavy.
Po'ShiSANy 1h "a hAoS P'o>St
consists of a concrete foundation,
laid exactly the same as the founda-
ton for the permanent pavements
the city. This makes an excellent
beginning, for at any time that it is
desired to resurface the pavement
with another material the same
foundation can be used.
The upper dressing consists of
sand and a melted tar substance
similar to the bitulithic, covered
with a fine dressing. To the ordi-
nary observer it is understood the
pavement looks very similar to the
bitulithic and is a decided improve
ment owe the ordinary macadam.
There are no patented materials to
be paid for, however, and the final
cost Is figured at about $1.70 per
square yard, whereas the asphalt
block and materials of that kind will
run up to SO or over per square
yard, when all the bills are paid.
AS Mr.. Christensen, who is an en-
thusiastic admirer of this pavement,

fare for making the experiment. The
city officials, IN fact the public at
large, will watch the building OF
this pavement from start to finish SO
that they may pass Judgment on it
as to whether or not it shall be used
on other streets. Every citizen
should be interested because it will
mean the saving of thousands of dol
lars for the city in the future if it is
satisfactory. The people are in
vited to critieise either by condemn
ing or praising, as they see fit. The
columns of the EVENING NEWS are
open for all the comments.
Perth Amboy has reached a point
where paving has become an abso-
lutte necessity for the future prog
ress of the city, as property owners

holes in rainy weather complain
that they cannot begin to get the
rents and hold the tenants like prop
erty owners whose houses are To-
Gated on streets that are we'll paved.
But as the demand increases it
stands to reason that it is impossi-
Bile to keep UP the pace with high
cost of materials that are de-
manded.
The Board of Aldermen have
done good work thus far in giving
us the improvements that we have
and the city Is recognized as n of
the best paved municipalities in New
Jersey. If we can discover some
new material that will be as salts
factory as the high priced materials
for the improvement of our reslden-
tial streets it will be a valuable find
1t will mean that not only can the
improvements continue as at present,
but a great deal more can be done
1t is to be hoped that the people will
take particular pains to watch the
Paterson street pavement as II
progresses and study 1t for future
references.
Paterson street Is now being dug
out and graded preparatory to the
laying of the concrete.
