RANGE CATTLE NOW
GIVEN preference
Native or Farm-Raised Steer Not
So Nearly of One Type in
Color and Breed.

The range steer receives the prefer
,nce now for the feed lot over what is
termed the native steer, the farm
'alsed steer of the corn-belt states.
This is largely due to the more uni
form quality of loads of cattle from
The range. The native cattle are not
80 nearly of one type; in fact, they are
most generally of n mixed breed, mixed
,olors, mixed sizes and dlssimilarity
prevails, showing that they are pick

There was time In the history of
ditlons prevailed. The range steer
was looked upon with suspicion by the
cattle feeder. There was not much in
his makeup that pleased the feeder.
His long horns, his wild, nervous,
cared-half-to-death actions and be-
havior convinced the feeder buyer that
he did not care to risk him. 1t took
few years TO break down this pre-
judlce, but gradually good reports
became more common until the sand

feeder steers, says Twentieth Century

jectiOns anywhere on the inside OF the
stable. The same idea is followed in
the stall partitions.
In this particular stable the only
support to the ceiling is from the par
tition uprlghts between the cows,
which are cemented In the floor and
fastened to the ceiling by screws
through threaded plates. A loft over
stable like this Is not used for any
purpose except as an air space, and
the air Is changed by having a window
In each gable. The silos are placed
between the stable and storage barn,
with room for feed carrier to pass
through; this carrier track extends the
whole length of the cow stable, and
runs far enough into the storage barn
to load the litter carrier.
The value of this arrangement may
be better understood by the study OF
one fact-that north of the forty-sec
ond parallel of latitude there is an
average of only six weeks Of good pas.

In between late spring and early fall
frost, so that dairymen are obliged TO
supply manger feed for ten or eleven
months. In fact, some of the best
dairymen don't depend on pasture, ex.
cept to have run for the cows for
exercise, fresh air and general health.
OF course, they want cows to get some
picking, and this is necessary to in
duce the cows to travel about. Bui
when 1t comes to actual feeding, the
stable is depended upon in summer az
well as winter. The storage of sllage
and the growing of alfalfa have brough'
about this change.
The old plan of growing soiling
crops is not carried on to any great
extent; labor is too expensive. Silage
and alfalfa are better and cheaper. At
the same time, good cows appreciate

outside blinds, painted dark green.
This is FOR the purpose of shutting 1t
up dark after the cows are MIXED in
the morning in summer. When the
blinds are shut the stable is so dark
that flies will not stay in it. Dairymen
have taken lessons from good house
keepers in this respect. Flies will
crawl out of very small crack to get
from darkness to light. You can't
shut flies out of COW stable, that Is,
you can't shut them all out; but 1t Is
possible to shut up stable like this
so dark that they will all leave it be-
tween morning and evening milking
hours.
OF course, the cows will carry flies
in with them when they are stabbed in
the afternoon, and this cannot be
avoided very well. However, some
New York dairymen have dark pas
sageways leading to the stables, where
a good many flies are brushed Off by
the attendant as the cows pass in. One
dairyman experimental with station

which Is an automatic way of brush
ing the flies off the cows as they enter
the stable.
Easter dairymen usually are well
supplied with small hills or banks on
which to arrange their stables, barn
yards, etc. For this plan, gently
sloping bank, falling away towatds the
south or southeast, is preferable. The
north is usually protected by group
of trees or high board fence.
During the last ten years stables
have grown in size and dimensions.

The important development of dairy
farming during the last decade is very
forcefully indicated by the changes
which have occurred in the stables
used on such farms. In the improve
ment of sanitary conditions around
such stables, one thing at time has
been found wanting until the dairy
stable has come strongly into the at
tention of farm-building architects,
ventilating experts and equipment en-
gineers causing 1t to be given n thor
ough overhauling and redesigning.
Several types have been established,
oil of which aim to accomplish prac-
tically the same thing. Primarily, the
animals must be furnished the best
possible conditions in which to live
and, secondarlly. the building must be
easy to keep clean.

ey RAMSEY PouNpsToNE

WASHINGTON, Sept 27.-One of
the most historical congresses In the
nations history, the special session of
the Sixty-Fifth Congress, is drawing
to close.
It's record of legislative achieve
ments has never been equaled, and
perhaps no congress ever has consid-
cred and enacted legislation with
such complete absence of partisan
spirit as the one which convened
April 2, 1917, and which will probably
adjourn the forepart of next month.
It was the special session of the Six
tyf1fth Congress which began its work
by upholding American rights on the
high seas by a declaration of war
against Germany. This was the most
important event in American history
and, perhaps, the most vitally import
ant action recorded in worlds history,
for it was more than a declaration of
war by one nation against another. 1t
was the declaration of war by world
democracy against world autocracy.
Having taken this momentous step
Congress with whole-hearted patriotic
zeal seized upon the task assigned to
it for the crushing of kaiserism and
militarism.
How well Congress has done its
work can be realized by a perusal Of
