HOW TO PICK GOOD "FEEDER'
To Make Profitable Gains in Feed Lot,
Steers Must Possess Beef Char
acteristics in Makeup.

By JOHN L. TORMEY. Wisconsin Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Steers, if they are to make profit
able gains in the feed lot, must have
beef characteristics-a wide, strong
back and large heart girth.
They must have strong frame and
plenty of room for the vital organs,
for an animal with a weak constitu-
ton cannot hold up through the feed
ing season.
A wide head and muzzle usually in
dicates good feeding qualities.
Short legs, heavy hind quarters and
arched ribs are essential to the feed
ing animal.
The skin should be reasonably thick,
soft. and covered with a heavy coat
of hair.
The animal should have a straight
back and low set appearance, due to
the depth of the body and short legs.

Its operation is described as follows:
A reservoir under which is placed a

OF the pump, through which the feed
passes when the lever rod is lowered.
This tube is of rubber or metal. If
rubber, it may have a metal point.
Metal tubes are more easily kept

There are several ways Of holding

GOOD TREATMENT FOR SHEEP
Real Value OF Animal Is in Wool,
Lambs and Mutton-Weed Destruc-
tion Is Only Incidental.

1t is often argued that sheep should
be kept by farmers because they live
in lean pastures and are useful in rid
ding the fields of weeds, getting much
of their living from what other stock
will not eat and that the farm is much
better rid of. That is all true, but
that should not be the main reason
for keeping sheep. In fact, weed de-
struction should be only an incident.
The value of the sheep is in wool,
lambs and mutton. To do their best
in these lines, sheep need and should
have as good treatment as other do
nestle animals.
Sheep may live on pastures that
would not sustain horses or cattle, but
they will not do their best on such
pastures. They must eat and thus de-
stroy weeds and even sprouts and
brambles, that other stock would not
touch, but such growths do not make
their best feed.

FERMENTED BRAN Is UNSAFE
French Experimenters Find That
When Stored in Heap During
Winter Months 1t Ferments.

Bran when stored in bulk sometimes
ferments, so that it causes digestive
trouble when fed to animals. French
experimenters year or two ago found
that when bran was stored in heap
for four or five months during the
winter it tended to form into Jumps on
the outside of the heap, and on the in
side the Jumps became darkened, and
in some cases black.
These experimenters, from analy-
ses of different types of bran. thought
that they could determine bran fit for
use by what is known as the acidity
test.
Bran. which, according to this test,
contains less than Is per cent of acid
is o. X. That which contains from Is
to 80 per cent of acid is safe to use,
but it soon becomes unsafe. That
which contains more than 80 per cent
of acid is considered unfit for food

SUITABLE PLACE FOR CREAM
Arrangement Shown in Illustration
Answers Purpose Quite Well
Little Souring Results.
(By CARL e. LEE.)


Most farmers would deliver a better
grade of cream if they had suitable
place for keeping it until it is deliv-
cred. No one should attempt to keep
the cream in the cellar or in large
tank of water where the daily pump
ing is not sufficient to keep it COOL If
a suitable place cannot be built in a
well-constructed milkhouse the fol-
lowing arrangement answers the pur-
pose quite we'll.
Caring for the cream at the proper
time by any of the methods given be-
low will result in very little souring
at the end of two days.
Make small watertight box of two
inch material and of sufficient size to
hold all the cream cans necessary in
handling the cream. This box should
have tight-fitting cover, and be di-
vided into sections by means of rods
which will prevent single cans from
upsetting when left alone in the tank
The best place for this tank is in the
milkhouse. 1t may be placed between
the well pump and the stock-watering

RAISE A FEW DRAFT HORSES
Plenty Of Pasture and Access to Good
Stallion Are Essentlal-Good
Breeding Necessary.
By d. c. CAMPBELL Kansas Expert
ment StStionl

(By d. c. CAMPBELL, Kansas Expert
ment St&tion)
There is nothing more profitable to
the average farmer than the raising
of a few good draft horses, provided
he has plenty of pasture and access
to good stallion.
If a good stallion is not standing for
service in a community. the man who
has at least five or six good farm
mares can afford to own his own stall
lion and use him with work horses.
A coming two-year-old stallion can be
bought for approximately 500, and
taken in hand at this age, he makes
an excellent work horse. In fact, a
stallion is better for having been
worked. He is harder, more docile,
and makes good work horse. If the
stallion is worked alongside a bred
mare there will be no trouble in han
ding him. He should be made to
earn his keep and he will be the better
therefor.
The raising of draft horses is diff
ferent from that of any other live
stock on the farm. Important factors
are good food and attention. Good
breeding gives the possibilities, but
good breeding is necessary to bring
this out to its fullest extent.
1t is better for the man of limited
means to raise horses only as a by.
product, because the exclusive raising
Of draft horses for market requires
considerable capital. TIE returns at
first are slow, for draft horses must be
six years old before they are ready for
market. The man who has other cash
crops to meet his expenses cen afford
to wait for the returns from his young
draft horses.

mouth to keep it open. The tube is
placed in the mouth and the bird is
gently drawn on until the end of the
tube reaches the crop, the neck be-
ing elongated as much as possible.
The lever bar is gently lowered by the
foot and the food is thus forced into
the crop. One hand is kept on the
crop and as soon as it is sufficiently
full the foot is removed from the lever
and the bird is gently removed.
Fhe operator soon learns to know
when the crop is full. No stated
amount that should be fed to an indi-
vidual can be given, for the quantity
varies with the size of the crop.
Great care should be taken in pre-
pairing the feed to see that there are
no Jumps. for the tube is small and
easily becomes blocked.

BURFORD AGREES TO
 SERVE SENTENCE
Has Been Involved in Several Cases Lately and Has Now Professed
 Religion

Henry Burford, convicted of grand lar ceny and sentenced to 10 years in the peni- tentiary withdrew his appeal to the su- preme court yesterday and decided to serve out his sentence.
 Burford and his young son were in- dicted for stealing a COW and on the trial young Burford with fine filal affection took all the blame on himself and tried to shield his father. The jury, however, held both to be guilty, and the elder Bur ford received sentence of 10 years from Judge w. E. Fort. Notice of appeal tn the supreme court was given and the sentence suspended during the appeal.
 For the past several years Burford. who halls from Lewisburg, has been in and out of court. He was arrested on q charge of complicity in the murder of Felix J. Ellard. which brought about an investigation of bloody beat 22," which resulted in sending three white men to the scaffold and one to the penitentiary. Burford was acquitted of this charge, and later filed suit against Sheriff Me Adory for a personal reward offered by him for the arrest and conviction of the sayers of Ellard. He contended that he furnished the information upon which the arrests in connection with the assassina- ton were made. He lost the suit.
 There have been several other charges of minor importance brought against Bur ford but until the last charge he was not convicted. Since his indictment for the stealing of the COW he has professed religion and in withdrawing his appeal stated that lie would try to make a good prisoner and that he forgave all those who had made untrue statements about him. He will be taken to the walls on Monday.
