SELECTION OF FEEDER STEER
Width and Straightness of Back, With
Accompanying Well-Sprung Rib,
Most Desired.

While the butcher desires f1neness
of bone and high quality in all parts
so that there shall be little waste on
the block, it is not desirable to have
this go to extremes. A steer with too
much refinement. as indicated by a
light bone and frail head. and a small
paunch, will not be able to stand the
strain of heavy feeding, and then fin
ish out with the great weight that is
desired.
No one point is considered more i'm
portant in selecting feeder steers than
the width and straightness of the
back, with the accompanying we'll
Strung rib. 1t is an index to the feed
ing quality and points to the ability to
put on meat in the expensive cuts.

Getting Seed Grain Early.

Do not wait until spring to clean
and grade your seed grain. Do it
while you have plenty of grain at
hand from which TO select The best
twenty-five bushels of grain out of a
hundred bushels are worth much
more for seed than is the grain that
can be cleaned from a much smaller
amount in the spring.
The cost of thus cleaning and grad
ing the grain is very slight. and II
enables one to have heavy, plump seed
grain at very little outlay.

CHEAPER BEEF IS

Large Consignment Of Australian
Meat Received in Nor

Norfolk. Va, September 1.-THE first
consignment OF Australian beef to ar
rive in Norfolk since the new tariff
bill was introduced in Congress was
received yesterday, and comes here all
the way from the other side of the
world at 81 per 100 pounds cheaper
than beef purchased from Chicago.
Another consignment is on the way
and if 1t arrives after President Wilson
has signed the tariff bill it will be put
in Norfolk at 81 per hundredweight
cheaper than American beef
There is a vast difference In the ap-
pcarance of the Australian beef when
compared to the American product. The
American quarters weigh fully $50
pounds less than the foreign beef. and
the imported product has IL more whole
some appearance generally.
The local dealer was asked lie the
Introduction OF free beef I'm the United
States would make much difference in
prices. He said
II don't think there's any doubt OF
it. The Australian beef is so much
better from many standpoints and puts
American beef in tho shade; that is
from the appearance of what l have

The present retail prices OF beef are
