par Ruegg, rs, pastor of Zoar Evangel-

EAT LIMBURGER; LIVE LONG
Monroe Physicians Attribute Green
County's Low Death Rate to
Great Use of That Cheese.

Monroe.-Limburger spells longevi-
ty. This is proven by the quarterly
report of the Wisconsin state board
OF health which has just been issued
for the three months of July, August
and September, and which shows
Green county to have the lowest death
rate in the state according to popula-
ton.
According to the report there were
thirty-seven deaths in the county dur
ing the three months, or one and four
fifths per 1000 population.
The healthfulness of Green county
is attributed by the local physicians
and health authorities to the great use
of limburger by the residents of this
section.

sheep per acre are maintained in New
Zealand on land which has been
plowed and sown to artificial grasses.
Il the land has been surface sown
without blowing, this number is re-
duced to from one-half to two sheep
per acre. Land valued as high as
$3.50 an acre has been prof1tably kept
in grass for grazing alone, and near
ly one-half of the occupied area is
used mainly for sheep. The impor-
tant place thus occupied by sheep in
New Zealand is declared to be evil
dence of the possibilities of profit from
valuable land devoted to well-managed
fiocks. The size of these flocks in
sures for them an interest and care
which is not so frequent in the farm
ing states in America.
In Australia conditions more near
ly resemble those in the American
range states. Much of the Australian
land now used for sheep growing is
destined to be devoted to farming, and
the government is taking an active
part in assisting this development. In
the meantime, land is plentiful and
the fiocks have much space in which
to run. There is, however, one funda-
mental and important difference be-
tween the management of the range in
Australia and in the United States.
No Australian sheep owner is permit
ted to use the public domain without
charge On the other hand, he is

YOUNG STEERS FOR FEEDING
Average Farmer - Neighbors
Ought to Work Together.

1t is highly important that the
of the right sort. With the present
prices of feedstuffs and labor, econ
omy is necessary to eliminate loss and
waste if the feeding operations are
to be profitable.
Scrub feeding cattle are rapidly be-
coming a thing of the past. 1t is
money out of the pocket to put good
feed into "robber" steer The pres
ent demand is for feeds of high quail
ity. A steer with low, blocky, wide,
round body, with short legs and wide
back, with a broad muzzle and short
head, large roomy middle, showing
ample room for consumption of large
quantities of food and with fine thick
soft hair has every indication of being
a profitable feeder.
Two-year-olds make the best feeders
for the average farmer. Such cattl:s
can seldom be beaten when it comes
to rapid and economical profits.
Three-year-olds, provided they be pur-
chased reasonably, are sometimes
used to advantage but as rule two
year-olds make more rapid gains than
do the older ones. In selecting feed
ing steers it should be kept in mind
that a uniform lot of cattle always
takes the eye of the buyer and sells
at fancy price. Thus, you see the
necessity of feeding steers of like
shape, color and breed. To secure
this kind of steers purebred beef
males should be used. Neighbors in
a corn, beef and hog district ought to
cooperate and follow similar lines, if
best results are to be secured.
After selecting the right sort Of
steers for feeding purposes the next
point is, to feed them off as quickly
as possible.

the change may be begun at the end
of the second week. Weak individ-

be left to the judgment of the feeder.

Pigs make profitable gain on any
kind of suitable pasture with enough
grain to stimulate the bony growth.
They need grain, even with alfalfa
as a forage crop. Even when grain is
high and pork comparatively low, as
at present, We cannot afford to stunt
the pigs by relying on the pasture al
together. One FOUND of corn for each
so pounds of live weight will prove
enough if the forage is plentiful.
