OUR ROAST BEEF.
Whsrs It Does, and shoud, Come From
E. PARKER.

T
 Did you know that between the years of 1908 and 1913 the worlds sup ply of beef cattle increased Il 1-2 per cent, while the population increased e5 per cent-that Is, it moro than dou- bledT This is an interesting item to ponder on when the complaint is so often heard that since the free listing of beef in the new tariff law it is hardly wiorth while to raise beef cattle in the United States. A little mathe- matics, however, prove the latter idea to be rubbish.
 First, because ft has been proved that the British Isles easily consume Argentine's surplus supply (which has actually diminished in the last two years) and, with the continent, take all Australia. can send; second, because in five years, Canadian cattle decreased II per cent. Thus experts are con- tinually assuring us the United States need not fear Canada, as 8 very seri- Ous competitor in the beef line. Al though Mexico should be @ good beef raising country, it's present troubled state and frequent revolutions have naturally depleted all food supplies Now, the result of noting these figures should convince the would be" beef raiser that there is something for him in that industry. especially when he considers that in 1907 we exported from the United States 423, 900 head of cattle ana last year only 24,OOO, be cause we could barely supply our own market.
 Beef Preferred to Mutton.
 Another singular fact not to be for gotten by the beef raiser is that Amer jeans care more for beef than they do for mutton. In fact, pork and beef, according to reliable statistics, are the meats most in demand in this country, and when he also realizes that rough estimate gives the population of most of the countries referred to as having increased 20 per cent. in recent years and the cattle only per cent, it cam not be called exactly 8 discouraging factor to take into account. Surely here is an opportunity for the small farmer to add to his bank account, es- pecla1ly where he does not happen to be near a good milk market, for milk produced under modern requirements lin ordes to bring sufficient profit should sell for at least 10 cents quart. Thus the ambitious man. tired of, losing money on milk, would do well to buy five or six Herefords or Aberdeen Angus cattle and, jointly with his neighbor, purchase a young Aberdeen Angus bull and raise calves for beef. These could be sold either e4s calves. yearlings or -year-olds. while each year one or two heifers could be kept to increase the herd.

INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS.
Their Care and Feed.
c g VAIIENTTf

C. s. VALENTINE,
 Poultryman and Duck Breeder.
 The very special care of the Runner ,ounglings covers the first week, for hey must not be chilled overfed or eft without water. They chill easily 1t first and sometimes get cast on their title flat backs and may be unable to light themsievs. Water of blood tenn 9eratI1re should be the first supply, then stale bread lightly moistened in Eweet milk. After a week bran, mid 3lings and later cornmeal and meat d oats. chopped lettuce or cabbage or scraps are added to the ration Sprout- sd oats. chopped lettuce or cabbage or any available palatabie green feed is a whenever the ducks or ducklings are not free to range Nothing, however, quite equals red or white clover or al daifa- either grazed or supplied aIu- eciatly. A new producer of green feed For yarded fowls is the Chinese cab baset which looks like a two foot let Euce and is extremely tender.
 Those who can should permit wide range, with water privilege, after the d6ckiings are seven or eight weeks ola for this gives great musular strength and lessens feed bills, while with ma ture ducks 1t is likely to increase the hatchaDility of the eggs. In general, bran midd1ings, shorts and red dog are the main reliance to produce frame and muscular development Maize, oats and barley meal, (the latter two sieved while the ducklings are yet smalf) tend to add fat. Meat helps along both lines, and bonemeal helps to make a good frame.
 Only Simple Shelter Needed.
 Shelters may be of the simplest, but must provide comfort and equable con dit1ons. These, after ample feed and water, being the key to success, and those birds which, when well matured. are thus provided and allowed to order their own lives within these limits usually become the largest producers.
 The greatest success 1 have known has come through using a barn base ment for shelter, leaving food where the birds always had access to it and freedom to go and come at will. These birds were handled by and elderly wo man, far past eighty. known as "a good feeder" They produced for three years under her systematic care an average of practically fifty three eggs from each 100 ducks daily-more, of course, in the summer than in winter. The best general average production of hens in ay state in the Union (cen sus report> is less than twenty eight eggs per 100 hens for every day in the year. showing a balance in favor of the Indian Runner duck of twenty five egaS per year.

COLD FRAMES AND THE EARLY

E. KNEEIIANT

The starting of vegetable and How CT seeds under glass is fascinating in itself, and when once undertaken cold frames prove useful to winter over flowers and vegetables, besides fur thering the development and r1pening of plants started in hotbeds in order to hasten the spring season.
 Frames and sash may be purchased already to set up and use and, not be- ing expensive, are within reach of ev- eryone. The writer prefers the dou- bie glass sash, which are & little more expensive, but well worth the differ ence. Choose a sheltered spot for the frames, and if the ground Is frozen too hard get a few barrels of rich earth from the loea1 florist, filling in to the depth of nine inches in the back of the frame and grade off to six inches in front.
