LIVE STOCK
FACTS
SOUND POINTS ON BABY BEEF
Producer Generally Finds IL kecss-
ssry TO Breed His Own atock-
.WeILBred Cows Best.

The producer of baby beef gen.
orally finds 1t necessary to breed his
own stock. Calves with the con-
formation and quality to finish at Is
months of age are seldom bought on
the market In any numbers of uniform
type, and at a figure where they can
be proitably fed put Older and
palmer stock can be bought for less
money. will make larger gains, and
sell at about the same price a hundred
pounds as the finished calf.
The problem for the producer Of
baby beef Is to get his raw material
of the proper quality as cheaply N
Carnes Of the live stock division at
University farm. he can generally do
this best by keeping a herd Of real.
well-bred beef cows, and by feeding
and caring for them economically.
The feed and care of the COW will
be charged against the fatted calf.
1.-The majority of beef producers
says Mr.. Carnes. prefer to have
their calves dropped In the spring of
the year. The calves can run with
their dams on pasture during the
summer. and be weaned In the fall
about the time they go into winter
quarters. BY this practice, the beef
cows can be wintered more n
icaliy. They require less shelter and
labor. and less concentrated food
than when they are sucking calves.
A beef COW Of good type will sup
port a calf and keep her WI nesh
on pasture without any grain. When
the pasture is short or dry. silags

HEAVY RAIN THURSDAY

The fine weather which had
prevailed since Monday came to
an end Thursday morning when
a million dollar rain set in and
lasted all day and into the night
Thursday when it cleared up.
The rain was warm one, the
first warm rain of the season and
considerable moisture fell wetting
the ground up in fine shape. This
morning, Friday, the weather was
clear again and the rain had
soaked in enough to allow the
farmers to get into the field again
to finish seeding which is being
rushed all over the county. 1t is
likely that the seeding of wheat
will be completed by the middle
of next week, when the farmers
will turn their attention to oats
and fax, and then if the weather
warns sufficiently to corn.
Thousands of acres of corn will be
planted this year because of the
lateness of the season many acres
could not be plOwed in time for
wheat which viii be put into corn.
