HALF DOLLAR GROWS UNPoPU-
LAR. so DIFFERENT DESIGN
lis CHOSEN-NEW DIMES
i. . AND QUARTERS

After July 1, all half dollars,
quarters and dimes turned out by the
United States minis are to bear new
designs. For twenty-five years now
the American people have been circu-
lating the same old styles Of coins,
and coins, like everything else, go
out Of date. The half dollar, for in
stance, is reported by the mint au-
thorities to be growing more and more
unpopular, and in order that it may
not meet the same fate as the old
fashioned tWo-cent piece, it is to at
tract the public attention by new de-
sign. Out of fifty or more models
submitted by several sculptOrs to
Secretary McAdoo and voted upon by
the Fine Arts commission, the designs
of Mr.. Adolph A. Weinman were &C
copied for the half dollar and dime,
and that of Mr. Herman A. MacNeil
for the quarter dollar. Both men are
sculptors of note, whose work is we'll
known throughout the country.
On the diverse side Of the new de-
sign for the half dollar is a full-length
figure of Liberty against background
Of the Stars and Stripes unfurled to
the breeze, striding toward the dawn
Of new day and bearing laurel and
oak branches, symbOlical of civil and
military glory. On the reverse side is
an eagle perched on a cliff with wings
unfolded, while from the rock springs
sapling Of mountain pine similar to
that used on the first pine-tree shil-
ling of Massachusetts.
Design on Quarter
The design Of the new quarter was
doubtless inspired by the nations in
terest in preparedness AS the law
provides that the figure of Liberty as
we'll as the word shall adorn this
coin, Liberty is depicted approaching
the gateway of the country. her left
arm appraised and grasping a shield
in a protecting attitude while her
right arm bears the olive branch Of
peace. On both the half dollar and
the quarter are the words, "In God
We Trust" The reverse side of the
quarter also shows. an eagle with
wings extended, and bears the in
scription, Omitted States of Ameri-
ca" and "E Pluribus Unum" below.
There. is an outer circle of olive
branches intertwined with ribbons
unfurled to the breeze.
New Dime Simple
The new dime is not elaborate in
design, bearing on it's diverse side
the profile of Liberty, and on the 9TH
er side the Fasces design, which is a
bundle Of rods and battle ak signi-
flying unity. 1t is also decorated with
the familiar olive branch Of peace,
The coinage laws of the United
States provide that there. may be
change of design every twenty-five
years, requiring only that each coin
shall bear the figure of Liberty. The
last change enacted was in 1891.
Any change made during the ensuing
twenty-five years requires a special
act Of congress. Thus congress au-
thorized the Philadelphia mint to
strike a special coin or medal to hon
or the Wright brothers for their sue
cess with the aeroplane. Congress
annually authorizes the minting OF
many special medals and coins for
various historical societies and expo
sitions.

TO PRODUCE BABY BEEF
First Essential of Tickfish Bust.
ness Is Quality.
Only Successful When Stock, Farm
and Man Behind Both Are Adapt
ed to Risky Undertaking.
Feed Is Important.

The production of baby beef is a
very ticklish business. It is success
fully done only when stock, farm and
the man behind both are all adapted
to a very risky undertaking. The
whole object is to turn twelve to six
teen month-old calves off as prime fat
steers, weighing 1000 to 1,4OO
pounds in much less time than re-
quired FOR general steer raising. The
whole thing means quality animals
to start with. It means offspring from
strictly beef strains, like Shorthorn,
Hereford, Angus or Galloway. Really
no other breed need apply in the pro-
duction of real baby beef, says a
writer in Baltimore American. Both
mothers and offspring must be album
dainty fed so es to keep these young
things steadily on the gain, eating to
their full capacity, from birth to mar
ket.
The calves must nurse their dams
and be given an abundance of nu.
tritious grain from the very start,
both while on pasture and when in
winter quarters. Concentrated feeds
in addition to clover and alfalfa are
The Tomahawk., 1916-12-28

absolutely necessary during the win
ter months. Long nursing on the
dams or an abundance of milk or
skim milk with grain is necessary.
This all means that splendid, we'll
bred stock Is to be used only. It
means also that you have got to have
ideal farm conditions, an abundance
of the very best pasture and legume
hays, silage and grain feeds.
Can Be Done in East.
There is no reason why baby beef
cannot be made in the East, except
that labor is expensive or that farms
have not been farmed to produce high
est quality legumes and other grasses
for pasture. Besides this, the produc-
ton of grain is more expensive as
a rule in the East, thus contributing
to high costs in making beef. You see
the regular average pasture, with the
regular average method Of feeding,
will not produce topnotch baby beef.
I do not mean to say that we cannot
reach a point where raising baby beef
may not be profitable in the East; not
that, but we have got to get ready for
that sort of farming first.

This is excellent farm practice. 1t
