There is good profit in making
baby beef; that Ia. in preparing AMI
mails for market when they are from
twelve to eighteen months old. but not
every man can make It. Many things
enter into the preparation OF baby
beef which very few farmers possess.
In the first place he must have on
his farm an abundance OF foods that
are well adapted for the particular
purpose Of making growth and fat In
the youngsters. He must not feed
foods that are SO coarse that they will
not be suitable for young stock, II he
does he will produce paunchy animals
and fail to get on their ribs the nee
essary fat and to make them profit
able. Foods, especially fodder which
may be suitable for older animals are
often entirely unfit for the production
Of baby beef. There is a tremendous
waste in feeding young animals al
though a pound Of grain fed to the
very young calf may produce pound
of gain, but with this there Ia more
or less waste. mainly water. and the
frst thing to do 10 to start the fat
going on the youngster.
II the calf II allowed to become thin
he can never again be properly fat
tened. Baby beef must be started
from the moment tho animal Is able

from that time until he Ii sent to

amount fed to the skim milk calves
up to six months Of age. the total
is 3S bushels Of grain when the

they might have been brought up

some Of the things that the baby
beef feeder must thoroughly under
stand before he undertakes to start
in the business.
Another thing to be figured in the
cost Of making baby beef is the cost
