to buy calves from dairy farmers IN
the neighborhood The aim at first
should be to produce a carload of
marketable stock Where the farm is
100 to 200 acres there is nothing to
hinder the owner raising two or three
carloads in year, but it is best to set
the mark at one load for the first sea-
son. This branch Of business requires
little experience, just as everything
else does.
With this program adopted farmer
starting out in beef production should
try to prepare lot Of top notch ami
mails that will average 1000 pounds at
the age Of twelve to fifteen months. If
the right kind of stock is used and
there is good success in fattening, top
figures in the market will be secured.
The careful manager will soon find
that he can produce the first 1000
pounds Of beef much more cheaply
than he can add to this weight My
observation shows that the real profits
are in marketing beef animals at an
age not exceeding two years This is
turning over the money pretty fast,
and by making it rule to market the
stock at an early age one can afford to
govern the selling by the tone of the
market.
As farmers gain in skill they will
find It an easy matter to furnish a fine
quality of baby beef This is accom-
plished by the selection of suitable
calves and a wise system Of feeding.
No point in the business is more i'm
portant than that of starting with the
right kind Of young stock. Then 1t is
only a question of forcing growth by
skillful handling. Men who have dali
ries are able to secure uniform
bunch Of young animals, as rule,
but II they fall short of the required
number In starting beef herd with
uniformity they will always be able to
find native stock to meet their needs
Generally speaking, it is unwise to
bring in feeders. Young stock shipped
from remote points cost more than they
are worth these days, and the trans
portation units them for maturing
rapidly. They don't begin to measure
up with stock that gets its start in the
neighborhood, A little observation of
the market will astonish many farm
ers who do not know the demand for
high quality baby beef and the profit
there is in supplying it.
The small farmers Of the central
west only need to look into the matter
Of concentrated feeding to realize that
they are able to take advantage Of the
high prices for meat animals. It will
pay to restrict the pastures and depend
more on alfalfa, silage. roots and con-
centratea feeds. More can be. accom-
plished on a farm Of 80 to 100 acres

! RULES FOR TREE PLANTING


Select the kind of tree that win
grow best in your location. Choose a
variety from those already thriving in
your vicinity.
A ten to twelve foot tree is consider
ed the best size for ordinary planting.
1t should be free from scars and pests.
The trunk should be straight, and it
should have long leader.
When digging trees in the woods be
careful not to injure the roots. and Sc
cure as many of the hbrous ones as
possible. Nursery grown trees are
better because they have been trans
planted several times and have better
root systems.
Do not allow the roots to become
dry. Keep them moist and covered un.
til you are ready to put them in the
ground.
Ragged ends Of broken roots should
be cut of with sharp knife

pea hay taken from the farm the

soil robs it of $7.96 worth of fertility

fertilizer; ton of cotton seed, $3.50;
an acre Of corn producing fifty BUSH

grain alone, 1896; an acre Of oats pro
ducing thirty-five bushels removes in
the entire crop $11.33 and $4.72 for the
grain alone.
In many cases exhaustion Of the soil
by cropping has gone on until the farm
responds reluctantly to the many
drafts made upon it. The farmer must
manage to restore this fertility. No
better method of doing this can be
found than to keep enough stock on
the farm to utilize the pasturage Of
idle lands and much Of the surplus
grain and forage produced. The stock
should be kept under sheds and in sta
bles when possible and an abundance
Of bedding furnished to absorb the
liquids as well as to add to the bulk of
the manure heap.
The roots and stubble of crops al
ways restore something to the soil.
With such crops as clover, cowpeas or
beans approximately 80 per cent of the
manurial value Of the crop is kept in
the soil. When such crops are har-
vested for hay and fed to good farm
stock and the manure is returned to
the land 80 to 80 per cent Of the entire
ferdlizing value is kept on the farm.
At the same time the full feeding
value is obtained.
Farm manure should be handled
with great care It should never be
left in the open yard or piled in the

proper handling explains why farmers
find it necessary to use such large
quantities of manure to derive much
benefit from it. It will be observed
that even when manure is stored in a
shed there is loss By covering the
manure heap with substances like or
binary loan, sawdust or wheat straw
much loss may be prevented and the
stack of manure greatly increased

WEATHER AND :
CROP BULLETIN

The weather during the past week
was decidedly favorable for the growth
of vegetation from the Lake region
eastward. The planting of late pota-
toes and garden truck was carried
on in the southern states.
Late oats and barley were consid-
erably damaged by high temperatures
and lack of sufficient rainfall in the
northern part of the country from the
Lake region westward. Irrigated
crops continued to make good growth
in the northwest. Oats were ripen-
ing, with generally good yields indi-
Gated in central sections and harvest
ing was progressing favorably. Bar
ley was being harvested to the north
ern tier of states and rye harvest is
also under way.
Early flax was good in North Da-
kota, but the late crop was injured
by high temperatures.
The high temperatures were de-
cidedly favorable for corn during the
week in nearly all sections from the
Mississippi river eastward.
Late corn is growing well in most
sections of the country. The crop de-
Perforated in western Oklahoma but is
generally improved elsewhere.
In Iowa the weather was favorable
for growth, but on light soil in that
state as we'll as in central Missouri,
the crop is curling and firing and show
ing need of moisture. Corn is tassel-
ing in nearly all sections, except in the
extreme northeast.
