MAKING MONEY WITH
WETHERS AND LAMBS
Get Animals to Market Soon as
Fit-When Pastures Are
Short Feed Grain.

Get all wethers and lambs in the
market as soon as fit. A good article
never goes a-begging in good mar
ket.
No animal is profitable when stand
ing still in condition. There is profit
in growth.
A mere maintenance system OF
feeding is a losing game.
II the pastures are short, feed grain
in troughs, in the pasture. Feed
regularly.
A very small quantity of grain
given daily and regularly often turns
the scale from loss to profit.
Keep the flock tagged or maggots
may breed under the filth.
Examine the horns and around the
ears.
Turpentine dropped in holes and
on sores will dislodge magots; then
smear with tar.
The flock must have shade and shell
ter during the hot days of August. Be
sure it is provided.
Unless you have fed roots you can
not realize how valuable they are for
all stock, particularly sheep.

Possibly this is the wrong way to
look at it, but it seems to me that in
our efforts to develop the dairy busi-
ness we are about to lose sight Of the
fact that growing and fattening beef
cattle is a big part of cattle raising.
hear lots Of discussion of dairying.
Someone is always trying to start a
creamery or a dairy" writes 8. A. Per-
ny Of Missouri in Farm Progress, "but
the beef-cattle business does not get
so much attention"
Undoubtedly this is wrong We can't
all go 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 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 to 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 ad-
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 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.

who have had a good many cattle

SLOW CURVE FOOLS BATTERS
When Nap Fuckers Arm Went Back
on Him He Began to Develop
Most Effective Delivery.

Ball players in the National league
admit that Napoleon Rucker of the
Brooklyns is in class by himself when
It comes to delivering a slow curve.
Fuckers arm went back on him three
years ago and he lost his speed. But
he retained the gray matter in his
head and began to develop new de-
livery. In time he mastered control
of the slow ball which, batsmen say,
is harder to hit than a speeder. Ruck-

GOOD FORMULA FOR
BROOD sow RATION
Combination of Corn, Alfalfa and
Meat Meal Tankage Recon-
mended by an Expert.

Corn, alfalfa and meat meal tank
trio of brood SOW feeds II happily
combined. This is the opinion of
John M. Evvard, the Iowa hog feed
ing expert. He suggests giving the
sows enough corn to keep them in
good condition, adding alfalfa in a
rack and giving them about one-fifth
to one-fourth of pound of the meat
meal tankage daily.
The alfalfa may be ground and
mixed with the corn. using 100 pounds
of each, and the mixture then fed
from self-feeders. An average gilt
Of ESQ pounds will eat about five to
six pounds of this daily, so to get the
necessary tankage into it, mix with
every 100 pounds about five pounds
of the meat product. If the sows get
too fat, increase the proportion of
ground alfalfa accordingly. The re-
suits should be happy ones at farrow-
ing time.
Don't forget" adds Mr.. Evvard,
"the common salt at free will and
plenty of good wholesome water"
Corn may not be plentiful in this
state this year and all farmers may
not have alfalfa hay. However, they
also may benefit from the foregoing
suggestions. They may feed barley
instead Of the corn and clover hay in
stead of the alfalfa hay and expect al
most equally good results Meat meal,
though it may cost $50 per ton, is a
relatively economical feed for balanc-
ing such highly carbonaceous feeds
as corn and barley. 1t is a very
highly concentrated feed.

seasons, is out this year to add his
seventh blue ribbon for stalwart hit
ting. McInnis' toppy hitting season
after season has not received the at
tention it should. While Stuffy is un-
surpassable as fielding first sacker,
it must not be forgotten that he ranks
with the best hitters in America.
The only major league players now
in the game who can beat six seasons
of 300 per cent batting are Hans Wag-
ner, Napoleon Lajoie, Ty Cobb, Eddie
Collins, Sam Crawford, Joe Jackson
and iris Speaker. AS Stuffy won't be
twenty-six years old until next Sep
TENDER, he has good chance of out
stripping some of the fellows now
ahead of him.

BIRDS PROVE TRUE
FRIENDS OF FARMER
Sparrow Consumes 0ne-Fourth
D. Ounce of Noxious Weed Seed
in Course Of Day.

A tree sparrow is said to consume
one-fourth of an ounce of injurious
weed seeds a day, and weed seeds
constitute three-fourths of the diet
of the song sparrow. Quail, bobo-
links. blackbirds, some Of the larks
and wild ducks are among the birds
that are valuable to farmers as de-
stroyers of noxious weed seeds.
The government has estimated that
the American sparrow family alone
saved farmers sSO,260,0OO in 1910 by
keeping down the spread of weeds.

BURD, WuRM AND BOTTLE.

Manager Will Conroy OF the
Elmira New York State league
team gave the fans a big laugh
when he announced that he had
signed up a Burd, a Wurm and
a Bottle. -~L &y
Burd is a giant catcher, who
played good ball with the Rich
mond and Jersey City Interna-
tionals last year, after a sea-
son in the Carolina league.
Wurm is pitcher who starred

of the opposing hitters until he knew
just what would fool them. Last year
Fuckers pitching was confined entire
ly to slow balls. He did not deliver
a fast one all season and his arm. as
a result, gradually became stronger.
