THANKSGIVING TIDES.

across the platforms in opposite direc-

crowded with those waiting IN go and

bouched from the train seemed inter
minable to those who waited TO ger on.
And the thought that every depot in
America saw the same tides ehb and

greater than those that ravage and
die in Europe.

On the big farm OF Levi Seass in

people talk about and SO few have
tackled in the last few years-breed-
ing and finishing beef cattle. For at
least two generations this farm has
turned of its liberal annua, quota of

them out as baby beef.

and no pasture are the fundamentals
of the Seass venture in breeding cat
tie for beef on 5000 an-acre land. Corn
and alfalfa furnish the feed. Two big
silos make business possible. and in dr.
Seass estimation. are primary re-
quisites to possible success.
There is barn room for all the stock.
The calves bred for beef are pushed
constantly. Their dams are well fed
and well cared for and the calves are
born strong. active and thrifty. a
creep IS arranged and very early in
life they are encouraged to eat little
grain and alfalfa hay on their own ac-
count. ar. Seass is not very strong

After the calves learn to eat LITTLE

FIVE parts corn meal and one part OH

their progress into the fattening pen
is rapid.
