Possibly this is the wrong way to
look at il, but il seems to me that in
our efforts to develop the dairy bust
ness we are about to lose sight OF the
fact that gro-i ing and fattening beef
cattle is big part of cattle raising.
l hear lots Of discussion of dairying.
Someone is always trying to start a
creamery or dairy" writes S. A. Per-
ry of Missouri in Farm Progress, but
the beef-cattle business does not get
so much attention"
Undoubtedly this is wrong. We can't
all so into the dairying or cream-sell-
ing business. There are great stretches
of good cattle growing and fattening
country in every state where the dairy
ing end Of the business cannot
amount to very much for a long time
to come. There are no markets for the
cream, the milk and the butter Rail
road transportation is poor and there
are no buyers in reach Of the cream.
Where a man has enough land for a
reasonable amount OF pasture and can
go ahead raising plenty of grain and
forage at the same time he need not
count himself out of the cattle bust
ness even If there is no trolley line
running through his place and no rail
road depot handy TO take care Of sur.
plus cream. What he can do is 10 buy
up calves, raise all he can from the
COWS on his home place and turn these
youngsters into big steers with the
help Of his pastures, his forage and his
silo.
The silo is one OF the pieces OF
equipment on the dairy farm that the
beef grower can use to a great adj
vantage. 1t will help make beef and
Will do It cheaply. With a couple of
well-filled silos the beef grower can
get through short pasture periods in
dry summers and can keep his young
stuff growing right along through the
winter. He won't have to spend all
his possible profits for cake" and 9TH
er store feeds" in order TO do so. Any
farmer who wants to go a little deeper
into steer feeding as a plain money
making proposition ought to fit himself
out with plenty of silo room right in
the beginning, no matter how much
pasture land and forage he may have
in sight.

AUGUST ORE SHIPMENTS.
Believed Now That Fleet VIII Handle
GO,OOO,OOO Tons This Season.

Iron ore shipments in 1916 will to-
tai 60.00O,0OO tons barring strikes and
disasters. The total shipments TO
September are within 10000 900 tons
of the record season of 1913 and three
full months Of the season remain.
August shipments OF Iron ore ag-
gregated 9,S50.140 tons. making the
movement to September /, 39,215,S64
tons. II Is estimated that the fleet
can deliver at least 2O,OOO,OOO tons be-
fore the close OF navigation besides
transporting a large tonnage OF coal
and grain.
The last three months OF 1912 the
ore movement aggregated 19.3S6,S73
tons, 100000 tons more than in the
last three months OF 1913. In 1913 the

On the basis OF 9.25o,000 this month.
