out and again after about six months
development he has an opportunity TO
Gull them over, if by chance he has
become overstocked or If his crops
have failed to come up to expectations
The animals body grows and de-
velops uniformly and naturally only
when conditions are favorable. These
conditions can be favorable only Wnen
the quality as well as the quantity OF
feed is proper. A food ration, to De
proper, must be more or less perfectly
"balanced;" that is to say, it should
have all classes of food elements pres
emit in sufficient amounts, with none
in excessive amounts, thereby guard
ing against feed waste.
Good pasturage contains all 1000
element in proper proportion; good
Silage needs the addition of a strong
Protein concentrate like Cottonseed
Meal or Alfalfa; good Legume hays
with small amounts Of grain and
roots, silage or beet pulp furnish de-
sirable and economical feed for grow
ing animals.
Frequently, however, farmers COM
pei their stock to subslst on Straw,
Corn Fodder or Hay alone. These sup
port life and serve as maintenance
feeds, but for the purposes for which
young stock require food, the build
ing and growth of body frameWork
and tissues, such feeds alone are mel
Their satisfactory nor economical.
The experienced and successful
stockman knows the game" and in
stinctively keeps tab" on his animals
from day to day. To those less eX-
perienced, or in fact "novices,' it is
necessary that they should check
up" periodically and determine how
their industry is progressing. No bet
ter way can be found than that OF
keeping records" for individuals or
groups.
Gull over the live stock and sell all
that do not offer reasonable assur-
ance for future profits. Make an es-
innate of feed on hand and stand
ready to purchase any needed addi-
lions where the market is favorable.
Make provision for proper shelter be-
fore severe weather sets in, bearing in
mind that comfort and safety make
for profits. Finally when everything
appears to be in prime order for Win
terri the stock make the resolution
that this particular lot Of stock shall
emerge from winter finer and better
and start in prime condition for the
favorable conditions of spring.

A RIDE ON THE PILOT.
lid Was Too Exciting q Railroad Tri,
To Be Repeated.

An eastern man was riding by rail
through the Rocky mountains
friend had told him about riding IN
the pilot Of the engine through Soma
grand mountain scenery, and tho
easterner was eager to have the 1amo
experience. At the first opportunitv
therefore, he asked the conducts
whether his friends and he could rido
on the front of the engine. The CON-
ductor very promptly said thew conId
not. Nothing but a permit from tho
superintendent of the line would en-
title any one to such a privilege A,
the superintendent was a Thousand
miles away, it seemed a hopeless case
The eaSterner spoke Oh his disan-
pointment to the Pullman cOndlctnr
who told him that perhaps the affair
could be managed after all. Through
his diplomacy it was arranged some
how or other, and at the next station
four Of the party, including two
ladies took their places on the piIn,
The scenery was some Of the grand
est in the new world, but he eastern
er could not enjoy it. The two slender
rails III front held his gaze with sor-
OF horrible spell. He could nor Iool,
away from them. He felt almost thn
same sense of insecurity and terror
that a man would feel if he were sud
denly whirled off into infinite sDaca
Suddenly, as the train rounded
curve, he saw a hand car on the tracl,
ahead. His companions saw it at tha
same instant. A man stood beside il
and was making desperate efforts 70
remove it from the rails. He got the
wheels off; then, as the engine bore
down upon him, he fled.
The engineer did not see the hand
car at once, he was at the moment
looking at his gauges When he did
see it it was too late for him to check
the speed of the train. He could only
look on.
The hand car was on the side of the
track nearest the man from the east
He had an awful half minute, He
rose to his feet, not knowing what he
did, and leaned far over in front of
the others. His eyes were riyeted unOn
the hand car. He saw nothing,
realized nothing except it's approach
The engine struck the hand car
with terrific force, and the pilot lifted
1t from the rails. 1t rolled up, ground
against the very place where the east
erner had been sitting, pIowed a deep
groove in the ironwork and then top
pied over at the side of the track.
The frightened engineer set the
brakes and brought the train to a
standstill. Not one of the party was
even touched, but they had had enough
riding on the pilot. And, indeed it
was the end of such riding for others.
from that time all such trips were
strictly forbidden
1t was two years before the man
from the east could see a hand car
even standing harmlessly beside a
railway track without turning faint

Letter From MeirOSe.

Some weeks ago there was a public
sale about one mile from here. More
than good prices prevailed. Several
lots of chickens, old and young, were
sold at from 10 to p cents per pound.
regardless of appearance or age Per
maps some of the old hens were about
done working for their feed, while
some young stock might not begin
work before spring. Yet an average
OF 20 cents per pound was paid by the
FARMER. With corn at $3.50 per bar
rel, oats at 30 cents per busbel
wheat lowering near the $500 mark.
and bran $50 per hundred pounds,
can anyone see the profit in a flock Of
hlgh-priced chickens, not mentioning
disease in the flock or the cost of
powders manufactured to make hens
lay?
Two COWS with calves by their sides
brought $S5 each. With hay, bran and
other commodities necessary for the
welfare OF the COW much advanced in
priCe, and butter at 80 cents per
pound, now can man make money,
especially if he pays interest on Dor
70 NeA money? With flour at $3.50
p>I' barrel and bread steadily advanc-
ln<,, 1t is indeed a serious problem not
only facing the poor, but those in
moderate circumstances Potatoes at
Sl5O per bushel, lard at IL cents per
pound, and clothes advancing at a
rapid rate, does it not look serious?
Naturally the laboring man wants
more wages, compelling the farmer 70
pay $500 per day for cutting and
husking corn.

Vanclng in price. What will be the
result?

At this season some farmers must
be reminded Of the fact that young
stock demand careful attention dur
ing the months they are not on pas
ture. In this matter DR.. :. >. BUCK
lev, Animal Industry Extension, State
College of Agriculture, recommends
the following treatment:
After having turned out a selected
lot of young stock last spring, gfazeu
and fed them until now, when they
represent a wellgroWn, Well-conul-
toned and promising lot OF young
sters, it is unwise and Improbable 10
allow them to "go back or remain
stationary i'm growth during the tall
and winter months.
All animals are better for having
made steady and continuous grown
from birth TO maturity, and any de-
gree of weight which is lost during
this period represents money loss.
The feeding of exclusively malnte-
nance rations is justifable under GER
tain circumstances, but there is never
Unsuitable excuse for feeding growing
and developing animals a ration mere
ly for maintenance. Unto all things
there is a season, ETC." This is fun
damentally true for live stock; all
animals mature at more or less hXed
ages whether or not they have had
the advantages of feed and care.
After maturity, no system OF feedlng
can overcome the deficiencies of de-
velopment The most which can be
hoped for is the production of fat on
these stunted carcasses, even TINS IS
added at doubtful profit.
1t is very important therefore for
the farmer to take an accounting at
this season Of the year. He should
make all estimate OF the amount and
character of the feed stored for the
fall. winter and spring months, ana
the amount which he is prepared and
willing to purchase. He should also
estimate the quantity required to con-
tinue satisfactory and natural CROWN
and development in his animals.
These estimates he should compare.
If there is likely to be shortage OF
food materials, the farmer should Sc
lect the least desirable individuals for
his purposes. These he should sell in
the condition in which they came
from the pasture. His most desirable
animals can then receive closer 1ndl-
vidual attention, and be developed IN
to high type specimens.
In this way the farmer makes
double selection-first from the very
