BEEF RAISING OUGHT
TO Be PROFITABLE

Utner things being equal. the man
beef business is the man who has the
best bull. says Rex Beresford in
Orange Judd Farmer. Only calves OF
the low set. blocky, early maturing
type make first class baby beef. Such
calves come. save In rare instances.
only from pure bred beef sires.
Good feeding Is another essential.
Calves must be made fat at the begin
ming and kept fat to the end. They
do better II they get some grain, even
when sucking their dams. This is cas-
lily accomplished by having "creeps"
In a separate pasture, letting them
suck only twice day and feeding
some grain while by themselves. The
creep method takes less labor and is
almost as efficient.
The one biggest help toward cheaper
beef production In the corn belt Is the
sllo. Silage is as essential In beef pro-
duction or In steer feeding as 1t is In
the dairy business. BY means Of corn
silage the cost of keeping beef COW
a year can be lowered at least one
third The cost of making gains on
as much. The man who tries to pro-
duce beef without the aid of the silo
Is handicapped Silage reduces the
high cost of living for the COW.
No beef cattle farm can afford to be
without one or the other of either clio
be raised. They not only keep up crop
yields when used in rotation, but they
furnish the cheapest source Of protein
to balance silage and corn that can be
secured on the corn belt farm. Cotton
seed meal or Oilmeal will help take
their place in the ration, but they are
more costly. Another factor that aids
In the cheaper production Of beef Is
the care Of pastures A good deal Of
the land now under the pillow in the
corn belt would bring larger returns If
laid down in pastures and properly
cared for. If pastures are not over
stocked and eaten into the ground for
u rev years, Out are neIpeu out III suiii-
mer and time Of drought with silage or
other feeds. their stock carrying capac-
ity is increased. Sod bound pastures
are made more productive by disking
in the spring. 1t pays to reseed thin
spots, drain low ones and NOW the rag
weed before it seeds. The pasture de-
serves and needs its share Of the farm
manures. Many pastures could be
made to double their returns under
proper care and very little expense.
The business of beef producing is not
a get-rich-quick scheme. 1t does give
to the man who is fitted for 1t and
who goes into it intelligently and care
fully good returns for both labor and
investment. 1t helps keep the fertility
of the farm where it belongs, at home,
and builds up the land. 1t makes OF
farming a business that Is stable and
permanent, one in which the son can
follow the father on the same farm
and prosper.

Grooming Heavy Horses.

Horses left .ungroomed and undried
are liable to skin ailments. sore backs,
collar gals and parasitic affections.
Chills and illness also follow in the
wake where animals receive faulty at
tcntion in this respect Half an hour
twice day on grooming is time well
spent Many light draft horses have
their bodies clipped, and not few are
clipped all over Clipping enables the
animals to do the work more easily
and facilitates the keeping clean of the
body The prOfuse sweating seen with
heavy coat is avoided, and the risk
of subsequent chill is made less The
week after clipping is. however, dan
gerous for catching cold. and the con-
siderate horseman always clothes the
animal at such time when standing

Causes of Scours In Pigs.

Scours In pigs may be caused by
many different things. Things which
do not affect the sows may cause
scours in pigs. Any sudden or radical
change in feed. the feeding Of kitchen
slops wet pens and bad ventilation,
following the SOW through wet grass,
dirty feed trougLs. sour milk from
creameries and cheese factories or the
SOW catching cold are among the
causes Of scours in pigs.

THE FLOCkMASTER.

A'good Shropshire flock should
average nine to ten pounds OF
wool.
Do not attempt to winter more
sheep than can be done without
crowding.
BE sure the flock has plenty OF
fresh water. If the sheep drink
from springs, keep the APP
proaches dry.
1t is a great mistake to KeeL
sheep in warm pen In winter
Their fleece protects them, and
If they are kept dry they will be
comfortable if properly fed.
Avoid crowdlng the lambs in
the winter feeding quarters.
They need lot of room on ac-
count Of their natural habit of
crowding.
Arrange for plenty of yard
room. and on all fair days keep
the sheep in the open air as much
as possible.

REASONS WHY ADVERTISED
MERCHANDISE COSTS LESS.

The suggestion Ii sometimes
thoughtlessly made that the buyer
has TO pay for che cost OF adyertis-
ing. Il would be equally reason
able for a small store TO claim. be-
cause large store employs more
clerks, that the patrons OF the large
store had TO pay an extra price be-
cause Of those additional clerks.
Almost any man by persistent ad-
yeriising. justly proportional 10 his
business. can double his trade. II
he did so. Il Is not likely that his
rent, taxes. bookkeeping cost. insur-
anee and similar items. would be
double. Very likely they would not
be increased half.
Every article has TO be charged
something for these general ex-
penses which keep running along
whether you do much business or
little, Consequently. II merchant
doubles his business. and increases
his fixed charges less than half
the amount TO be charged TO each
article 10 cover these expenses Is
much less.
Hence. Instead of advertised mer-
ohandise costing the public more. II
costs the public less.

WOULD PROTECT DUCKS
Governor spry Against Iengthening
Of Shooting Season.

Gov. william spry Is opposed 10
extending the open season for shoot
ing game water fowl. At meet
ing of the conservation commission
Monday last he voted In favor of
memorial to be sent to the legisla-
ture protesting against this portion
of the bill presented by request of
Fred w. Chambers, fish and game
commissioner.
Warden Chambers would allow
hunters to kill ducks earlier in the
fall and later In the spring than
they are permitted by the present
game laws. His object is to have
the act passed as an experiment to
ascertain what effect more killing
would have in the eradication Of
disease among the fowl. He says
his intention Is TO have the law In
effect only two years.
Il was the sense Of the conserva-
ton commission that ducks we're net
flt to eat before they had deposited
their eggs and Il would be contrary
to the states policy of conservation
to allow them to be killed any more
than now. The governor voted in
favor OF the protest along with the
others present-Lewis a. Merrill,
o. J. Salisbury, T. l.. Alton, George
Austin and II. T. Haines.
The commission also appoined n
committee to follow the action Of
members OF the legislature on the
irrigation bill and work in It's inter
est. This act will take the control
OF Utah's water supplies from the
state engineer and place II into the
hands OF q board OF control.
