animals are a drag on the market. the
3-year- old and 4-year- old steers VIII
soon become history. Farmers anu
stockmen have found that it Is possl-
BILE to make a steer at twelve or four
teen months weigh as much as the
average old steer was made to weigh
in former years. The meat is better,
and the gains in weight are made more
economically. The young animal or
any kind digests and assimilates more
feed with less waste than the older
animal. The first year Is when the
most profit is made.-W. F. C.

Just at present quite an exodus in
or among the hobo fraternity from up
the line, the objective point being the
ice fields of the lower Kennebec, and
about every night squads of these
wanderers seek the Augusta police
station for comfortable resting place
while on their migration. Saturday
night five of them drifted in, claiming
to have come from Waterville, and
as the most of those who come from
up the line claim that city as their
hailing port it is evident that 1t must
be quite point of distribution. So
far as the work on the ice down river
is concerned however it is not very
plenty, for at present there are but
two places where the work of har-
vesting has begun and hedp at both
places is plenty.

HerefOrds for Beef
Better Than Dairy,

III. E. Morrison of New Hampshire,
writes for the New England Home
stead as follows:
Here on Marston farm, which Is
situated in the Connecticut valley, SIX
miles back, in the town of Oxford, N.
H, we have the largest single herd OF
registered Herefords in New England
Until 1907 we had always run dairy
of about 40 Jerseys. We made but
ter had a private trade, and all the
modern conveniences. The only
trouble we found was that help to
milk was hard to find, and that when
you made butter, or produced dairy
products to their highest efficiency, IL
made the owner a slave to his farm,
as milking and butter making were
jobs never finished.
I'VE had an auction, sold every Jer-
sew we owned, and bought six or seven
pure-bred Herefords. From this
start six years ago we have our herd
of today, and besides have sold 1882
worth of breeders, having shipped them
to Maine, Vermont. New Hampshire,
New York and Central America. we
are no longer tied down to the farm,
but can go and come as we please, ana
as far as help is concerned, we turn
away five times the men we can posi-
bly, use on the place. Then the best
of all is that our ledger shows the
greatest net profit it ever has, due
simply to the greater saving in help
and general cheapness of production.
Our cattle go into the pasture May
1. and there run with their calves I'M
til November /, requiring no care
whatever, except to salt them once a
week. When they come to the barn
the COWS are nice and fat, due to their
good grazing qualities, and their ma
ture, to put on flesh easily. The
calves are great big fellows weighing
from 500 to 700 pounds apiece.
During the winter the only care is
to feed and water them. no milking
whatever, except what the calves do.
| The COWS will keep in fine condition

four pounds grain a day-bran ana
corn meal or oil meal. I know OF
MANY herds where the cows do not
calve until summer, where the cows
