This argument was recently SUBJ

at $11.40. In the pen the heifers

the proper sort of beef animals.
It seems heifers in the yearling class
sell best; in fact, the larger proper
ton of those that are fed for beef are
marketed at such age. In the feed
lot it need not be entirely a steer
population, because heifers of the right
sort should yield as large profit, pro-
viding they are the same grade as

making their cost Of production no
higher.
The product Of this class of stock
matches up we'll with steers when
killed. That is why packers take them

Raising purebred cattle is not a bust
ness that can be engaged in one year
and closed out the next, asserted
Frank D. Tomson, editor of the Short
horn in America, in an address before
the Kansas Improved Stock Breeders
association at the agricultural college
farm and home week.
''The business Of raising purebred
stock" said Mr.. Tomson, requires O
steady, continuous, persistent applica-
ton Of thought and purpose. And for
this reason the farmers in the British
Isles have attained degree of sue
cess that we have scarcely reached in
this country.
"The making Of pedigree means
an intelligent selection and mating of
types. This involves some knowledge
Of the preceding ancestry. For in
stance, one would hardly expect a
breeder to produce cattle that would
reproduce accurately if he used a
small, fine-boned, smoothly finished
sire for one cross and then followed it
by an diversified sire of uneven con-
formation and heavy bone, and con-
tinued this plan. The offspring would
lack uniformity and could not be re-
lied upon to reproduce type.
The correct method would be for
the breeder to form in his mind the
conformation, the type, that he wished
to perpetuate and then select his sires
as nearly Of this type as possible.
Having done this, the pedigree would

CARE AND ATTENTION
GIVEN YOUNG CALVES
Such Work Is Highly Paid For by
Greater Number of Animals
Saved From Disease.

A great deal of care and attention
must be given calves during the first
six months, If they are to be reared
successfully, says II. Fl. Kildee of the
Minnesota experiment station. But
such care is we'll warranted and is
highly paid for by the greater number
of calves saved from the ravages of
scours and other diseases and by their
better quality when they mature.
To guard against navel infection,
which so frequently causes the death
of calves, the following method has
proved to be very efficient:
Draw liquid from navel cord as soon
as calf is born.
Apply tincture of iodine literally to
cord, both internally and externally.
Dust compound alum powder on the
cord every few hours for one day.
Whether the young calf should be
left with the cow for few days or be
taken away Immediately is a question
on which practical dairymen are not
agreed. In most cases it is the prac-

for two or three days, so that the calf
may secure the first milk, or colostrum,
at the normal temperature which Is
quite essential in starting the digestive
system properly. Then, too, the calf
assists in relieving the Inflammation
in the cows udder at this time.
For the first three weeks after the
calf is taken from the dam, 1t should
be fed from two to three and one-half
pounds of whole milk three times q
day. Care should be taken to feed this
milk Immediately after it is drawn and
before it becomes cool. When the calf
is three weeks Of age it must be fed
twice a day and skim milk can gradu-
ally and slowly be substituted Tor a
like amount of whole milk. Three
more weeks should be used in getting
the calf onto whole ration OF skim
milk. When It reaches the age OF six
weeks it should be receiving from II to
16 pounds Of warm milk day. Great
care should be taken not to oVerteeo
the calf with milk, as more calves are
injured by overlooking than by under
feeding.
