The demand for small, high-quaity cuts of meat and the increased cost of producing beef have combined to foster the rapid growth of the baby beef industry. Baby beeves may be described as well-fattened. finished animals, weighing from 900 to 1,200 pounds and marketed when between fourteen and twenty months old. It takes less food to produce a pound of flesh with them than with mature cat tie, they sell as high as the best of other fat cattle, and markets for baby beeves have been very stable during the last ten years. The young heifers sell as well as the steers, and the re- turns from the money invested in the production of such cattle coy.!c quick CT. On the other hand, 1t takes more experience to succeed with baby beeves than with mature cattle, bet ted grade of stock is required. md fartn rnughage cannot be substituted for grain to tho same extent.
 First Beef Necessity.
 In q new publication Of the United States department of agriculture de- voted to this subject Tarmers Bull letin No. SID 1t Is pointed out that the first necessity for the production of baby beef is a herd that has at least 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 pre- ponderance of dairy blood win not give profitable results. Tho COWS should. however. 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 strong tendency toward earliness of maturity are essentials; the owners success. in fact, depends to great extent upon the bulls abil- ity to transmit the latter characteristic to his offspring. Money spent in ac- quiring a bull that will do this is like ly to prove a good investment, for the

I40GGING DOWN CORN
 IS MOST PROFITABLE
When Properly Managed Hogs Gain as Rapidly and Eco-
 nomically as on Feed.

Practical feeders and experiment stations have shown that hogs, when properly managed, will gain as rapidly and as economically when allowed to harvest the corn crop as when the crop is harvested and fed in the usual man. ner. As a matter of fact, even more pork may be produced from m acre when the hogs do their own harvesting. This statement is proved by tests con- ducted by various experiment stations. Henry and Morrison, in Feeds and Feeding" show that 6S pigs which were allowed to harvest their own corn, gained IA pounds daily during 53 days, and required 4SS pounds of concen- trates for 100 pounds gain. Another lot of 31 pigs which were fed ear corn in q yard. gained II pounds during 57 days and required 546 pounds of con- c2ntrates for 100 pounds gain.
 l.. A. Weaver of the University of Missouri college of agriculture points out that summer pasture, combined with hogning down corn in the fall Is a profitable method of fattening hogs, since less high-priced grain Is neces- sary when pork Is produced in this manner. The Missouri station has shown that 20 to 40 per cent less grain is required to produce. a given amount of pork when good pasture crops are supplied throughout the grazing sea- "on. To effect such saving, however, t Is necessary to limit the amount of --rain which Is fed to hogs on pasture Q that at the end of the grazing sea- son they will not be fat, but will be -rown and In excellent condition to tng down the corn necessary to finish rhem for market.

whole baby-beef industry depends upon the speed in finishing the animals for market.
 Getting Stock to Market.
 4 herd at least large enough to pro- duce carload of calves year is rec commended in the bulletin already men, toned. Shipping in carload lots Is usually the only economical way of getting stock to market, from % to 27 baby beeves constituting a carload. Some allowance must, of course, be made for loss and for calves that are not suited for treatment as baby beef. Since a well-matured bull cnn cas- fly take care of 90 or GO cows, the bull charge per calf also will be greater when tho breeding herd h small. On the other hand, great cure must be taken not to crowd the pasture. Good bluegrass or clover should carry from 50 10 100 COWS on q hundred acres; other rcsturns from 70 to us low as :. The amount of available roughoge Is another important factor in deter mining the size of the breeding herd. Roughnwe should form the basal DOT tion of the ration for the cows. It cannot be bought with profit nt the prevailing prices, and no more cows should he kept, therefore, than the farmer can feed with homegrown roughage.
 Calves for Market.
 The feeding of the calves intended for market depends on a number of factors, such as the season of the year in which they are born, whether or not any other use is made of the mothers milk before weaning, and the age at which 1t Is planned to sell the beeves. Suggestive rations Nh which these points are considered are given in the bulletin already mention ed. These are made up of corn, cot tonseed meal, corn silage, clover hay, and oat straw. If barley, milo, katir, or similar grains are substituted for corn, somewhat larger quantities should be used.

The beginning of winter finds the work of training going on at full blast in a hundred camps and sta Iions.
 Not far from half of the total num- Der of men training are encamped in the big National Army cantonments. In these the United States has 16 new cities as large as New Britain.
 Sixteen camps, nearly as big at the cantonments, but not built so dura- bly,, are housing the National Guard divisions.
 Two hundred and fifty thousand men have joined the regulars since the war broke out There are IT regular army stations and camps be- ing used for the training cf these re- cruits.
 Seventeen stations are engaged in training men for the navy, and ma rines are being turned out in three more.
 Not all the aviation fields have been finished, but in dozen of them cook headed young men are being taught to fight in the air.
 Nine camps have just rounded off the second increment of officers for the Reserve Corps.
 Five medical camps are in opera tion, and three camps for engineers.
 All of the larger camps have been built in the last six months. The big gest of them, the National Army can tonments, were built in three months at total cost of s150,000,000. Only a little over twice as much was re- quired to build the Panama Canal, and that took ten years.
 Something between six hundred and seven hundred millions of feet of lum- Der went into the National Army can comments. The figure for all the army camps is about 100000 feet.
 In population the camps range from the 300 to 47,000. The men in a fly ing camp may know one another as men know one aother in small col lege. One of the larger cantonments, on the other hand, contains more men than can be crowded into the Polo Grounds or Comiskey Park.
 A good average crowd for Worlds Series game is 30,000. Such a crowd is enough to swamp a half a dozen car lines. All the men in one of the National Army cantonments would make crowd half again as large.
 Living conditions in the camps may not be quite up to the top cf the high American standard. But it can safely be said that no large army of soldiers was ever housed so comfortably be- fore. There will be no freezing this winter. Four of the cantonments sit uated farthest north have steam heat. The rest have to put up 'ith hot air systems. But an American ,rmy spent a winter at Valley Forge once with put even hot air system

sary to finish q given number of nogs will vary with the kind of hogs and yield of the crop. 1t has been estlmat- cd that 20 pigs weighing 125 pounds will harvest a yield of 10 to 70 bushels per acre in from 15 to % days respec- lively; 10 pigs in s to 14 days, co pigs in to days and so pigs In to T days.
 Most fcrlcrs prefer well-grown, thin shoats. which weigh from 125 to 150 poundS-shu:ts that have been grown through the summer on forage and not been previously fed a heavy grain ra- tion. Such hogs will eat large amount of feed and will gain rapidly. Heavier hogs such as brood sows and fattening hogs almost finished are apt to break down too much corn and not clean it up so we'll as they go, thereby increasing the waste.
 Some nitrogenous supplement must be supplied to make the hogs gain rap idly and economically. At least part of this supplement may he supplied in tho form ,ofr xnwwge such as alfalfa,

WORK FOR
RAILROAD
Salem County Makes Ac.
tive Effort.
R. R. BUSINESS.
Owing to Prosperous Times Salem
People Want Atlantic City
Connection.

The following despatch has been
sent out from Woodstown:
Newspaper reports of big railroad
earnings look good to wide-awake
farmers and business men of Salem
County now because they are going
to make a drive" for railroad in
the spring to link the Delaware River
with the Atlantic Ocean to open a fine
farming section of South Jersey.
This isn't a new project There was
lot of talk about it last summer
when Chamber of Commerce folk
from Wilmington, Pennsgrove, Salem,
Woodstown and lot of other live
towns when down to Atlantic City in
more than sixty automobiles to talk
over with the business men a short
line railroad from Pennsgrove to that
resort. The result was the appoint
ment of committee, which has been
quietly working on the matter
The first proposition was to have
the farmers and bankers of the towns
interested finance the line, but the
committee believes it has a better
plan if President Dice can be made
to See it in their light. 1t is to have
the Reading build the new railroad.
When the committee gets ready for
the drive it will have data on the
cost of construction and figures also
to show that the line would be mon
eymaker. The greater part of the
land needed for right of way would
probably be contributed.
The route, if the Reading can be
interested, would extend from the Will
mington Ferry in Pennsgrove, where
many motorists take the southern
short cut, across the country through
WoOdStown and Franklinvilge to a.
junction with the Reading main line
to the shore near Hammonton. If the
Pennsylvania should decide to make
the new short line a branch of its
electricfied South Jersey system, the
route would extend through Penns-
grove and Franklinville to Malaga
and thence to a connection with the
West Jerseys Camden-Atlantic City
line at Buena.
Next to a railroad to open up this
section of South Jersey, farmers here
about want a paved highway to en-
courage automobile travel from At
lantic City to the south by the Penns-
grove-Wilmington Ferry route. and to
give them a chance to get their pro-
duce into the shore resort markets
by motortrucks.
The Wilson Line, which operates
the Wilmington-Pennsg Ferry, is
backing the short-route movement
Beginning with the opening rush of
travel in the spring, its two boats will
be officially known as the Wilmington
and the Atlantic City.
