weLL.FArrENED, FINISHED CATTLE IN YARDS.

The demand for small, high-quality
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 1000
pounds and marketed when between
fourteen and twenty months old. 1t
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 come quick
er. On the other hand, 1t takes more
experience to succeed with baby
beeves than with mature cattle, a bet
ted grade of stock is required, and
farm roughage cannot be substituted
for grain to the same extent.
First Beef Necessity.
In a new publication of the United
States department of agriculture de-
voted to this subject Farmers Bull
letin No. BID it Is pointed out that the
first necessity for the production of
baby beef Is a herd that 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 pre-
ponderance of dairy blood will not
give profitable results. The 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 a strong tendency toward
earliness of maturity are essentials =;
the owners success, in fact, depends
to a 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

HOGGING DOWN CORN
IS MOST PROFITABLE
When Properly Managed Hogs
Gain as Rapidly and Eco
nomicaIIy as on Feed.

Practical feeders and experiment
stations have shown hat 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 an acre
when the hogs do their own harvesting.
This statement is proved by tests con-
Quoted by various experiment stations.
Henry and Morrison. in Feeds and
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 81 pigs which were fed ear corn
in a yard, gained IL pounds during 81
days and required 546 pounds of con-
centrates for 100 pounds gain.
l.. A. Weaver of the University of
Missouri college of agriculture points
out that summer pasture, combined
with hogging down corn in the fall is a
profitable method of f~attening hogs,
since less high-priced grain is neces-
sary when pork is produced in this
name 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-
son. To effect such a saving, however,
1t is necessary to limit the amount of
grain which is fed to hogs on pasture
so that at the end of the grazing sea-
son they will not be fat, but will be
grown and in excellent condition to
hog down the corn necessary to finish
them for market.
This system Of hog management not
only reduces the amount of grain re-
quired to finish the hog for market, but
saves labor, nov less fertility from
the farm, keeps the swine herd more
healthy, and offers other advantages
for cheapening the cost of production.

WORKING HORSE IN SUMMER
Large Number Of Animals Lost Each
Year Through Lack of Care and
From Excessive Heat.

1t no doubt would be one Of the
greatest surprises that we have had
for some time, were we to realize the
large number of horses hat are lost
each year from the lack of care and
from the heat; the time is here again
when we must watch our horses care
fully so that they may work safely
and to the best advantage for us dur
ing the long hot days of summer.
The horse that will stand the hot
weather well is the one that has been
well groomed and cared for, you must
feed your horses well if you want them
to work well and if you want to get
the most from your feed you must
keep them clean and comfortable. The
horse that is working hard during the
hot weather should be watered at least
four or five times each day, and every
hour or hour and a half would be still
better.

STOCK
RATIoNS FOR ORPHAN COLTS
Bottle and Nipple Will Be Found
Cheapest and Most Satisfactory
Means of Giving Milk.

Raising orphan colts is a hard task
which requires time and patience.
Cows milk is the usual substitute for
mares milk. Allowance must be made
for the fact that cows milk is lower
in per cent of protein, fat, and ash
than mares milk, while the latter is
lower in per cent of water and milk
sugar.
At first a bottle and nipple probably
will be found the cheapest and most
satisfactory means of inducing the colt
to take the milk. The milk should al
ways be warmed to body temperature
before feeding.
Add enough warm water to a table
spoonful of sugar to dissolve it, then
add from three to five tablespoonful
of lime water and enough milk to make
a pint. Feed one-fourth of his mix
ture every hour for a few days, grad
ually frightening the intervals and in
creasing the amount given at a feed
as the colt grows older.
When the colt is three or four weeks
old the sugar in the milk may be dis
continued. At three months the colt
should be put on a ration of all the
sweet milk it will drink three times
a day.
If the colt scours, cut down on the
amount of milk and give two to four
ounces of a mixture of two parts cas-
tor oil to one part sweet oil.

sary to finish a given number of hogs
will vary with the kind of hogs and
yield Of the crop. 1t has been estimat-
ed that 20 pigs weighing 125 pounds
will harvest a yield of 40 to 70 bushels
per acre in from Is to 20 days respec-
lively; 40 pigs in 8 to IA days, 60 pigs
in 8 to 8 days and 80 pigs in 4 to Z
days.
Most feeders prefer well-grown, thin
shoats, which weigh from 125 to $50
pounds-shotes that have been grown
through the summer on forage and not
been previously fed a heavy grain ra-
ton. Such hogs will eat a 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 well as they go, thereby
increasing the waste.
Some heterogeneous supplement must
be supplied to make the hogs gain rap
IDLY and economically. At least part
OF this supplement may be supplied in
the form of roughage such as alfalfa.
clover pasture or soy beans. If provi-
sion has mo- been made for clover, al
faifa or rape pasture in a field adjoin-
ing corn, or If soy beans have not been
planted in the corn or in an adjacent
held' then 1t is absolutely essential,
with feeds at the present prices, to
supply some heterogeneous supplement,
such as tankage, linseed oil meal or
middlings. The particular supplement
used would depend upon the relative
prices of this class of feeding stuffs.
Ordinarily tankage is a cheap supple
ment.

whole baby-beef industry depends
upon the speed in finishing the animals
for market.
Getting Stock to Market.
A herd at least large enough to pro-
duce a carload of calves a 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 20 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 can cas-
lily take care of so or so cows, the bull
when the breeding herd is small. On
the other hand, great care must be
taken not to crowd the pasture. Good
bluegrass or clover should carry from
90 to 100 COW OF q hundred acres;
other pastures from so to as low as
5. The amount of available roughage
is another important factor in deter
mining the size of the breeding herd.
Roughage should form the basal por-
ton of the ration for the cows. 1t
cannot be bought with profit at the
prevailing prices, and no more cows
should be 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 weaving, and
the age at which it is planned to sell
the beeves. Suggestive rations in
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, kaflr,
or similar grains are substituted for
corn, somewhat larger quantities
! should be used.

AVOID BULL NOSE INFECTION
Some Hog Raisers Prevent Trouble by
Pulling or Clipping Tusks Of
Number of Pigs.

Considerable loss and injury often
result when young pigs are feeding
together. Their tusks are very sharp
and while fighting over their feed
they lacerate each other about the
mouth. This would not be so serious
If 1t were not for the "bull nose" infec-
ton in the pens. Some hog raisers
avoid this trouble by pulling or CLIP
ping the tusks of n number of the pigs
but this does not always keep them
free from infection. "Bull nose is q
fatal disease.

BY EDWARD w. PIckARD.


Field Marshal Haig began his week
~ forward movement as usual on
Thursday, the advance being again in
the district east of Ypres on a line
that seriously threatens Prince Rup-
recht's communications with Ostend
and Z~eebrugge. This salient of the
British front has been giving the Ger
mans much anxiety, and all the first
part of the week they directed at 1t
Furious though futile attacks that
proved very costly.
By Saturday the British offensive
had developed into one of the most
pretentious yet undertaken and prom
Used to result in a victory unequalled
ethce the battle of the Marine. On Il
nine-mile front Haig's troops rushed
Forward for about a mile and a half,
and gained possession of many Ger
man strongholds, including the ridge
between Passchendaele and Zonne-
ibeke. Great numbers of Germans
surrendered.
The allies doubtless hope to cut in
between the submarine bases and the
main German army, but according to
the belief of well-informed army men,
1t is not their intention to force the
Germans back over any very wide
area, because the territory they would
be forced to abandon would first be de-
yastated. Rather do the allies plan to
demoralize the enemy with the contin-
uous bombardment by guns of all cali
bers to which they have been sub
jecting them of late, and most of
Haig's advances are made for thep ur-
pose of gaining possession of COM
manding positions, from which this
terrific gunfire may be directed. That
the morale of the German soldiers al
ready is beginning to break down is
evidenced by their readiness to surren-
der and the complaints of some divi-
slons when ordered back to the front
after a rest.
Germans Short Of Shells.
Reports from the front during the
artillery duel that preceded the Thurs
day advance were that the British fired
twenty or more shells for every n
that came from the Germans. The al
lies supply of munitions is now unlim-
tied, and there is good reason to be-
lleve that the Germans are running
shor of shells n guns, owing part
ly to reduced productivity caused by
the poor food of the workmen, and
partly to a shortage of certain metals.
The denial OF General Schuech, the
kaiser's new minister of munitions,
that there is any such shortage, is not
convincing. Copenhagen dispatches
say the leaders of German labor
groups were called to main army head
quarters n few days G not to cele-
brate Won Hindenburg's birthday, as
was intimated, but to discuss plans for
speeding up the production of NUM-
tons. Probably 1t was necessary, also,
10 take steps to appease the workmen
OF Essen and their wives, who held n
riotous meeting recently, demanding
peace and better food.
In Frankfort, too, an immense peace
meeting was held on Sunday, but that
was engineered by political groups,
and therefore may not have been so
indicative Of the sentiment of the peo-
pie.
