they are taking grain and r0ughage
to their full capacity. Cattle cannot
90 on to full feed suddenly, for they
cannot adjust themselves hurriedly to
a change in diet. They must therefore
be worked up to full feed gradually,
and so be accustomed to the ration.
This period is often known as the
warming up" period, and lasts from
two to six weeks, depending upon
whether the cattle have ever been ac-
custOmed to any grain. Since this is
a fiiling-up process, cattle get On to
fult reed somewhat more rapidly when
fed on a ration made up largely of
roughage material, and not great
deal of grain. Too much grain at the
beginning will likely lead to digestive
disturbances from which the cattle re-
cover only slowly. Moreover. the cattle
are later more subject to such attacks.
A larger proportion of steers are
short fed than formerly, principally
because the working margin is mar
rover and the market does not make
enough difference in price for the de-
gree of finish put upon the cattle to
warrant the longer period. Cheaper
and larger daily gains can be made
during the short period than during
the long period, BECAUSE, since the ra-
ton can be made heavier and the steer
forced more rapidly, he will not waste
so much of the ration.

The Law Sexton.

Here is the story of q gravedigger
who, after hard toll at grave, found
all his labor in vain owing to the soil
slipping and almost filling in the grave
again.
After indulging in such language as

he got bright idea.
Placing his cap and jacket near the
edge of the grave aOnd hiding his
spade. he forthwith proceeded to hide
himself.
In few minutes up came visitor
to the graveyard. Seeing the fallen

raised an alarm that the sexton was
buried alive. Braw1y arms and spades
were soon forthcoming, and ir short
time the grave was once more dug out,

HORSES FINDING MOST FAVOR
Greatest Weakness in Industry 10
Production of Too Many Gen.
eral Purpose Animals.

The farmer who seeks to find favor
among the horse buyers Of today must
produce an animal that Is especially
ADAPTED to some particular kind or
work. He must be special-purpose
horse, must possess the ability to 90
some one kind of work so exception
al)y well, by reason Of his conforma-
ton, that he is out Of place at any
thing else.
Perhaps the greatest weakness IN
the horse-breeding industry is the pro-
duction of too many general purpose
horses. This kind Of animal, while
not especially adapted to any one kind
of work, will do fairly we'll almost any
kind of work, yet from the market
standpoint he is not profitable AMI
NAL to breed. The specfai-purpose
animal, while not costing any more TO
feed and raise, will sell in most cases
for a much higher price.
