Killing Calves.

Some one has conservatively esti-
mated that around 100000 calves are
annually slaughtered In this country,
including those slaughtered on the
farm. There thousands of calves are
annually slaughtered that are of good
beef type. Their onwers slaughter
and market them at a tender age to
rid the cow Of her charge and put
her into the dairy service again. The
dairy cow is a short road to profit,
but her steer calf, II kept on the farm
until he had attained the yearling age
and then sold to beef cattle feeder,
should in the long run net more pro-
fit. 1t might not all be represented In
dollars and cents, but that calf, having
the run of the farm for a year, would
help enrich the soil fertility enough
to well pay it's keep.
