Take Plenty of Time to Eat

J oAC IlCuty VI liHiC " Lot
There is a saying that Rapid
eating is slow suicide" If you
have formed the habit of eating
too rapidly you are most likely
suffering from indigestion or
constipation, which will result
eventually in serious illness un,
less corrected. Digestion begins
in the mouth. Food should be
thoroughly masticated and insal-
ivated. Then when you have a
fullness of the stomach or feel
dull and stupid after eating, take
one of Chamberlain's Tablets.
Many severe cases of stomach
trouble and constipation have
been cured by the use of these
tablets. They are easy to take

with cornmeal and alfalfa, and for
beef production is worth 60 per cent
more per ton.
Corn slower has a value so per cent
as great is prairie hay, and the por-
ton consumed is fully as valuable.
Prairie hay at it's usual market price
is not profitable for fattening cattle.
In comparing a ration consisting of
a heavy feed of cornmeal, alfalfa and
a light feed OF silage. with a ration
consisting of a medium quantity of
light feed of corn. alfalfa and heavy
feed of silage. yearling steers being
fattened for market made cheaper
and more profitable gains on the
larger feed of corn and smalled feed
of corn silage
In growing calves to be fattsned
later for market. the cheapest gains
were made on liberal ration of corn
silage and alfalfa without grain, the
cost of gains increasing in proportion
TO the amount of cornmeal fed
These experiments show that there
is a great variation in the capacity
OF individual steers to make gains
under like conditions. The data do
not show that the individuals of one
breed make larger gains than those
of another breed The variation in
gain seems to be fully as great within
n breed as between representatives
of different breeds.
Type or conformation seems to be
a controlling factor. the low-set more
compact types having something of
an advantage in gains and much in
early maturity over the rangy type.
Gains seem to correlate to a con-
siderable degree with body capacity
as indicated by the size of the middle
girth, the largest gamers have rela-
lively larger middle girths at the
same weight in most instances.
While the average gains made by
all dairy bred steers are nearly the
same as those made by the beefbred
steers up to the age Of twenty-three
months. the latter showed in most in.

A bulletin entitled Economical
beef Production" by H. r. smith
has lust been issued by the Nebraska
experiment station. This report
gives the results of four experiments
in which comparisons are made OF OH
ferent rations suitable for producing
beef in Nebraska and of different
types and breeds of cattle fed under
like conditions. The general conclu-
sions are as follows:
In comparing bran, linseed-meal,
and cold pressed cotton seed cake
each as a source of protein supple
menting cornmeal and silage, the
cold pressed cake proved TO be worth
80 per cent more per ton than wheat
bran, and linseed meal is per cent
more per ton than cold pressed cot
ton seed cake.
In the use of each of these supple
mentary protein feeds With cornmeal
and prairie hay, the cold pressed cot
ton seed cake showed a value per ton
% per cent. greater than wheat bran,
and the linseed meal Is per cent. more
than the cotton seed sake.
Where alfalfa was used in connec-
tion with cornmeal and silage, or
cornmeal and prairie hay. large gains
were made without the use of a con
centrated protein food. The gains in
both experiments where alfalfa was
fed were larger. less costly and much
more profitable. These experiments,
supplementing what had previously
been found, show that beef can be
produced in Nebraska at lower cost
and with greater profit on combine
ton of the corn plant and alfalfa
hay than on any other combination OF
foods available in the state.
These experiments show that corn
silage gives larger gains than shred
ded corn slower when each is fed

stances a higher condition of flesh,

meat, and sold for higher price per

the feeder on the basis of the same
initial cost per hundred.
II does not require lot of capital
to become a breeder of pure-bred cat
tie. provided a person can be salts
fed to grow in the business rather
than go into it, The first thing to
decide is what breed meets a persons
tastes and conditions best. When this
point is settled. says the Southwestern
Stockman. then a bull of good breed
ing should be selected and bred to the
herd, and calves raised from best
COWS. The raising of grade calves will
give the owner a wider experience
and help him TO understand some OF
the finer points concerning the rear
ing of specialized dairy cattle.
The knowledge gained by raising
and developing grades will be very
helpful when a pure-bred heifer or
two is purchased as foundation stock
of a pure bred herd. The informa-
ton gained by the care OF grades Will
not only be useful. but the selection
of a bull will give an experience, at
least II should, that cannot be gained
in any other way. This step of select
ing a bull places the dairy farmer in
touch with the breeds of dairy cattle
and he is awakened to the fact that
there is a great difference in bulls.
A pure bred bull is greater educator
for he is the means of leading men
to think and study.
With one or two good heifers it re-
quires but a few years to build up a
good herd of pure-bred cattle. In the
selection of pure-bred heifers pains
should be taken to select good ami
! mails, but greater care should be ex-
| ercised in the selection of the bull.
| for it is through the bull the herd is
/ improved In other words, the bull
has an influence on every calf born
| in the herd. while the COW influence
but one calf a year.
1t therefore becomes the greatest
importance for dairy farmer to Sc
lect a well-bred and good breeding
; bull Very often aged bulls that are
good breeders are offered at prices
little above their value for beef. They
are harder and more dangerous TO
handle than a yearling, but this
should not prevent a person from
purchasing the aged bull. especially
il he has proven himself a getter OF
good stock. The bull must prove his
worth as a breeder of good stock
just as the COW must prove hers al
the pail.
To summarize briefly, the steps to
be taken by a dairy farmer who de
sires to become a breeder of pure
bred cattle: First. select the breed
that is preferred and meets condi
lions best. Second, select a well-bret
bull. and when possible one that hal
proven himself a getter Of goot
stock Third, when finances and eE
perience will permit buy pure-bret
heifer or two, and from these ami
mails grow into pure-breds.

TELEPHONE POLES OF GLASS
Wood, or Even Concrete, Likely &c
Give Place TO New Idea Devised
in Brain of German.

Near Frankfort. in Germany, there
is a manufacturing plant which turns
out glass poles for telephone and tele-
graph wires In order 10 give them
solidity and strength there is thick
framework of woven wire in the glass
These poles are taking the place o:
the wooden ones in many sections OF
Germany.
II may be that in time all such tele-
graph and telephone poles throughout
the world will be, made Of glass be
cause there are so many advantages
in them. In the first place they will
last practically for all time. except in
cases of unusual accident. where they
may be broken. as in railroad wrecks.
They will last even longer than iron
or steel, as weather has practically no
effect upon them. nor cam insects get
into them and destroy them.
And in those days when wood is be
coming more and more valuable, IT
will be quite a saving OF the precious
wood to make such things OF glass.
Experiments are also under way Tor
