LIVESTOCK REPORT

The runs still keep up, and receipts for
the first two days of this week total 1872
$50 cattle against 1SJ,920 head for last week
for the same period, according to Weller
has been very mean not only on this mar
ket, but on every market in the country,
and the main reason we believe is the ex-
tremely warm weather experienced all over
and the high price of corn at the present
time. Chicago reports today slightly bet
ter action, and we believe, in our butcher
to 25e higher. in spots. This slight raise
is hardly noticeable on account Of the very
low prices the stock has been bringing the
last two or three weeks. The big bulk of
the receipts coming are of poor quality.
Killing Cattle
The top sale on beef cattle for some time
was a small bunch of grain fed yearlingS
that brought $1,000 recently. The bulk Of
the grass fat steers have cleared from $3.50
to $3.50, although some extra good west
ems would bring up to $500 and $S.25,
although the bulk coming are selling under
$3.50. Yesterday we sold one or two lots
at $500. These were very good. With a
little colder weather in sight, the prospects
are for a strengthening in the butcher divi-
sion, and we believe that shippers can ex-
pect a little better deal. The best grades
of grass fat heifers are selling from $500
to $500 with the bulk from $3.50 to 1925.
Best grades of cows from $500 to $500
with the bulk from 1925 to $500. Gamers
and cutters sold mainly from 1925 to $500.
Bologna bulls show a little more strength
than last week at this time, although very
little change in price. Bulk selling from
1925 to $3.75 with a few choice heavy bulls
up to $500. Veal calves steady 1915 to
$1,000 with odd head at a premium. Culls
$3.50 to $3.50, with choice heavy western
calves $5.25 to 1928.
StOckers and Feeders
The high price of corn at the present
time is one of the main causes of the bad
action in this division. Feeder buyers APP
pear to be afraid to go up against this
class of cattle, even at the reduced prices,
in face of a further advance in corn prices.
Practically the only kind that are moving
with any degree of alacrity is the we'll
bred and goOd-conditioned steers, and even
on these we find the trade slow and sticky.
A few real choice ones would bring up to
$500, but the bulk have sold in the range
of $4.00 to $500. There has been quite a
of westerns and Canadians in the
trade the last few days, and very few of
them nave cleared over $500 per cwt., with
the inbetween kinds down to $4.00 and
common ones in spots as low as $500. Bow
vows moving at canne prices. There are
inquiries for stockers and feed
ers, and while we do not look for this trade
to get much higher at this time, we do
look for it to hold steady. Feeding cows
mainly from $3.50 to S2.75, with a
real good kind of heifers from $500 to
$3.50 and choice fleshy heifers up to 1915
and $500. |

as the hay and corn, although they
will produce a little higher finish.
Silage is sometimes used sue
cessfully for baby beef production
but where plenty of alfalfa hay can
be secured at reasonable prices, il
is not profitable to use silage to
any large extent.
Oats are excellent for starting
the calves on feed but once on feed
the amount should probably not
exceed about one-third of the grain
ration. Recent experiments at the
Minnesota station indicate that it
does not pay to grind corn and
BATS for calves.

FATTENIMG OF CALVES INTO
BABY BEEF SPECIALISTS JOB

Nebraska station last winter where
the calves, after 100 days of feed
ing were appraised at So as "kill-
ers" and $8.25 as feeders"
1t takes time to finish out baby
beeves. After the first 120 to 40
days, they begin to put IN fat and
then finish out in not less than 90
to so days. They cannot be fin
ished out we'll in less than 200 days.
Anyone who tries to finish them
out in less time should also prepare
to take the risk of low prices for
the spread between a calf fed 120
to 40 days and one fed 200 days
is usually the spread between a
good feeder and a choice baby beef.
Most of the profit comes from that
spread and he who misses the
spread usually misses the profit.
Calves can be fed on less margin
than older stock. With fat stock
the selling price per hundred is
usually higher than the buying
price and this difference in price
Cor margin) on the original weight
of the steer assists materially the
chances for a profit. The calves,
however, are light in weight and
the spread between buying and
selling price is usually very mar
row. When a profit is made under
such circumstances it means that
the gains have been put on for less
than the selling price and this de-
mands exceptionally skilful feed
ing and a very careful selection of
the rations used and favorable feed

GULL OUT HENS IF
THEY Do NOT LAY

Gull hens are more profitable on
the farm table or in the town mar
ket than running with the laying
stock through the winter months,
says H. e. Cushman, poultry special
list of the Montana Extension Ser
vice. Farmers should be looking
over their flocks and separating the
producers from the non producers, it
is held.
Hens chosen for the "breadwin-
ners" and placed with the laying
stock for this winter should have a
well developed and high comb. Also
the birds themselves should be well
developed and ready to lay. A hen
that is ready to lay can be distin-
guished by the depth of body, dis
lance between pelvic bones, red
combs and moist vent.
No birds should be placed with the
laying stock that have any deform-
ity such as crooked beaks, crooked
backs, or crooked breast bones. In
fact, these kind of birds are ''crook-
ed"-they'll eat your feed but won't
pay for it with eggs.
Low vitality or too close inbreed-
ing may be distinguished in birds
with too long legs, standing high off
the ground, or birds having long,
drawn-out heads.
No bird should be put in winter
quarters that has a cold, swollen ayes
or that has trouble in breathing.
Such birds are liable to infect the
rest of the stock and in addition are
generally poor layers for that year.
If possible all birds picked to house
for winter should be leg-banded with
a colored band. This will be a means
of Identification when the layers are
turned out in the summer with the
other flocks.

ply to those that have had a couple
of pounds of grain all winter long
to keep them growing well.
Some rations that should prove
satisfactory for baby beef produc-
ton in Montana r given below.
In these rations the average" con-
sumption is given and it must be
remembered that sometimes the
amount fed will be considerably
ABOVE this and at other times
equally far below. Timothy and
clover or sweet clover hay can be
substituted for alfalfa, and barley
for corn, or oats for IA to 1-3 of
of these grains.
Ration Alfalfa, 5 pounds;
corn, II pounds.
Ration II-Alfalfa, 2 IL lbs;
10 lbs, corn, 9 lbs.
Due to the fact that these calves
are both growing and fattening, it
is necessary to give them plenty of
feed containing muscle and bone
building materials. This fact elm
mates the possibility of using any
-arge amounts of such feeds as
,orn slower and fodder.

CORN SHOWS
FOR THIS FALL

ONTANA Extension Ser.
MI vice workers now are en-
~ gagged in organizing corr
shows and combined corn, hog and
poultry shows to be held in many
parts of the state during next
month.
The show of primary import
ance to corn growers will be the
State Corn Show, to be held this
year at Miles City, Nov. IS to II,
inclusive. The North Montana
Corn show perhaps ranks second
in Importance. 1t will be held at
Chinook, Nov. 8 to 10, inclusive.
In connection with this show there
will be a county hog show and an
open poultry show.
The show at Culbertson, for
Roosevelt county, November 2 and
8, will be for both corn and hogs.
The show for Chouteau county, to
be held at Fort Benton on Novem-
Der 3, will include corn and poul-
try. A list of the shows and dates
are given below. There are sew
eral other shows in the making but
they have not been finally arrang-
ed. 1t is thought that a show will
be held at Great Falls but no date

feeding and the man who has had
no experience in fattening beef cat
tie will do we'll to try his skill on
the older cattle before he tackles
the youngsters, says R. B. Millin,
livestock specialist of the State
College Extension Service in a let
ter to Montana cattlemen on fat
tening cattle. If the feeder makes
a success of the other cattle he
stands a good chance of making a
success with the babies" If he
does not make a success of the
others his disappointment will be
fewer and his losses probably less
than with the calves.
Strictly speaking, baby beef is
produced from animals IA to Is
months of age that have been heav-
lily fed since weaving time. Con
trary to opinions in certain quar-
tiers, yearlings and two-year-olds
that have been fattened do not
pass through the markets as baby
beef.
The time to start making baby
beef is before the calf is weaned if
conditions permit. At this time the
calves should be taught to eat
grain. If this is done, there will be
practically no set back at weaving
time. After weaving the calves !
should be placed in the feed lot
and the feeding operations COM
menced. If the calves have not
learned to eat grain before wean-
they should be started on a
pound a day until all have learned
20 eat it.
The work of castrating, dehorn-
ing and vaccinating for blackleg
may be done at any time up to
about six months of age, but
should be done when it is liable

The most common source of dis
ppointment to feeders who are
andling their first bunch of baby
eeves is in the price received if

.nished properly. A calf put in
lie feed lot and fed heavily will
lake good gains for the first 100

As the years pile up and we ap-
proach old age, the vital organs be
come more sluggish and the blood less
