RAPID INCREASE
OF INFANT-bEEF
INDUSTRY SHOWN
Demand for High Quality of
Cuts and Increased Cost
of Production Cause

Washington, D. c., May 24.-The
of meat and the increased cost of
producing beef have combined to fos-@
ter the rapid growth of the baby-beef
industry. Baby beeves may be des-
cribed as well-fattened, finished ami
mails, weighing from 900 to 1,200
pounds and marketed when between
IA and 20 months old.
It takes less food to produce
pound of flesh with them than with
mature cattle, they sell as high as
the best of other fat cattle and mar
kets for baby beeves have been very
stable during the last ten years. The
young heifers sell as well as steers,
and the returns from the money in
vested in the production of such cat
tie come quicker.
4 On the other hand, it takes more
experience to succeed with baby
beeves than with mature cattle, a bet
ter grade of stock is required. and
farm roughage can not be substituted
for grain to the same extent.
In a new publication Of the United
States Department of Agriculture, de-
voted to this subject, Farmers Bulle-
tin 811, it is pointed out that the first
llSSCSo1Iy
beef is herd hat has at least a fair
amount Of beef blood. The cows need
not be purebreds, but they should
have at least two or three crosses
of such blood in them. A preponder-
ance of dairy blood will not give prof.
liable results. The cows should, how
ever, produce enough milk to keep
the calves well and growing without
much additional feed.
| A good bull will do much to offset
defects in the COW herd. A good beef
form and a strong tendency toward
earliness of maturity are essentials;
| the owners success, in fact, depends
| to great extent Ipon the bulls abil-
| ity to transmit the latter characteris-
tic to his offspring. Money spent in
acquiring a bull that VIII do this is
| likely to prove a good investment, fol-
the whole baby beef industry depends
upon speed in finishing the animals
for market.
A heard at least large enough to
produce car load of calves a veal
Is recommended in the bulletin al.
ready mentioned. Shipping in carload
lots is usually the only economical
way of getting stock to market, from
/ twenty to twenty-seven baby beeve:

ance must, of course, be made fol
loss and for calves that are not suit
led for shipments as baby beef.
4 Since well-matured bull car
i easily take care of fifty or sixty cows
the bull charge per calf also will bt
greater when the breeding herd i

for market depends on a NUMBER VI
factors such as the season OF the year
they are born in, whether or not any
other use is made of the mother

points are considered are given IN the

corn silage, clover, hay and oat straw
If barley, milo, kafir, or similar
grains are substituted for corn, some
what larger quantities should be USED.
Linseed meal may be used instead OF
cottonseed meal and if neither OF
these is available, a high-grade legu-
minous hay should be used for rough-
age.

Thief Scatters Cash
to Halt His Pursuers

Minneapolis. Minn.--Whenever Neis
Johnson of Paynesviie. Mimi, gets
hungry he becomes sympathetic, but
he was trying to cure himself of the
habit, he told the police, because it
was too expensive.
Johnson's hunger and the odors of
frying hamburger drew him to Il
sandwich wagon and on the way to
a lunch wagon he picked up half a
dozen boys.
They looked hungry, johnson said.
and on inquiry they confirmed his
suspicion. He took them all to the
wagon. When he took out his money
to pay the bin one of the boys used
the hand that was not forcing ham
burger and bread into his mouth to
snatch the roll Of bills, amounting to
so.
The boy ran down Washington
avenue. and when johnson and the
other boys pursued. he flung bin at
a time to make them stop the chase.
He threw $50 in all and then gained
such Il lead that he disappeared.

Scissors Save Lives of
/, Two Caught Under Auto

Pierre, $. D.-Saved from smother
ing to death by fortunately having a
small pair of scissors in his pocket
was the good fortune of \. r. Moore
and wife, on their return to Pierre
from the Black Hills by automobile.
Mr.. Moore. a Pierre merchant, wife
and daughter. made a vacation trip
through the hills for two weeks, and
when only twenty miles from home
OH the return trip the car turned
turtle on a bad stretch of deeply
eroded road
Marie. the daughter, was thrown
clear OF the car, but Mr.. and Mrs.
Moore We're pinned securely beneath
it. Marie ran to a farmhouse one
half mile distant for aid. When the
car went over a pair of scissors in
Mr. Moore's pocket slipped up in such
way from his trousers pocket that
he could reach them. With the scis-
sors he cut away the cushion which
was practically smothering him and
his wife. In fact. he could hardly hear
his wife's voice. even though close to
him. She was tightly damned under
the cushions. Marie soon arrived with
aid and the car was pulled off.
All the party suffered bruises. Moore
was the most severely injured, but is
expected to recover

ASSIGN MANY CAUSES

New York, oct. 13-prices clea rly
reflected further enforced liquidation in
the four days of this weeks stock mar
ket. in every important branch securi-
levels of the year for which various
reasons were assigned, The most logi-
cal of these was that new capital re-
quirements of the government bear
most heavily upon investors and hold
ers of first class securities.
There seemed little reason, aside
from this, for the heavy offerings of
Gilt-edged railroad shares. Many spec
ulative accounts were closed out dur
ing the more urgent selling, which
reached its height in the midweek, con-
siderable short covering appearing
later.
In the prevailing OF the speculative
clement much pessimistic talk was
heard regarding the future dividend
policy of railroads and industrial cor
porations. This was heightened by the
unexpected suspension of the dividend
on Peoples Gas, which adversely af-
fccted that stock and allied utilities
some 10 to 20 points.
Plans now Well under way by the
railroads to throw their appeal before
the Interstate Commerce commission
for higher freight rates coincide with
the demands of a large proportion OF
railroad employees for increased pay.
The lower money rates over flotation
OF the second Liberty loan were fol-
lowed by an expansion of more than
$95,0O0.00o in actual clearing house
loans an increase of $500, 600 in re-
serves of the federal bank for members
account, an increase OF almost $3.50
100000 demand deposits, and a gain of

Chicago. oct. 13.-Sharp new breaks
in grain and provision values today
were offset only to a moderate degree
by week end covering on the part of
shorts. Ideal weather for curing the
corn did much to put the bulls at a
disadvantage. Corn closed firm, but

$1.09A. Oats finished a shade off to
q cent UP. The outcome in provi-
sions ranged from unchanged figures
to a setback Of $1.45.
Freezing temperatures and clear
skies furnished just the conditions to
safeguard huge quantities of corn that
warm weather might have been rem
dered unfit for use. German political
advices suggesting an improved chance
of peace tended further to encourage
selling. and SO. too. did certainly that
present maximum quotations would not
be allowed during 1917. In addition it
was said. offers of new corn from the
south were more plentiful and cheap.

Over 4 Per Cent Zinc Ore
to Be Refused at Smelter

Vancouver &. G., Oct l3.--Nan-
Couvcr mining men are in receipt of
notice from the Trail smeltcr that
no more ores containing more than
per cent zinc will be accepted.
Practically all the silver and lead
ores in British Columbia carry zinc.
Very few mines in British Columbia
can ship ore which does not carry at
least 1 per cent zine, unless they are
mining pure lead ores.
The result will be that only will
copper ores be shipped to the smelter
at Tacoma and thus be taken out of
this country, but the silver-lead ores
viii have to be shipped there if the
development of the mines is to be
continued.
