Cattle Outlook
Is Encouraging
Prospects for Scarcity Of Fed
Steers and Higher Prices
Anticipated.
prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)


prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Beef cattle are in stronger position
than year ago and with prospects for
scarcity of fed steers this fall, high
er prices are anticipated. according to
the bureau of agricultural economics,
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. in its beef cattle outlook report.
A large supply of corn at reasonable
prices and material. reduction in the
supply of hogs are also in prospect.
This should result In an active de-
mand for feeder cattle.
Supply OF Cattle.
While there has been some liQuida-
ton and consequent reduction in num-
bers of cattle in some areas, It is not
believed that the total market supply
of grass cattle this fall will be mate
rally less than the number marketed
In 1924. Heavy marketing from i'm
portant Western cattle production re-
gions during the past three years has
been offset somewhat by favorable
weather and feed conditions Calf
crops have been large and losses small.
A short corn crop and high, corn
prices brought about in 1924 mate
rial reduction in the stocker and feed
er movement into the corn belt feed
lots during the past II months. Fin
ishers generally have followed policy
Of marketing fed stock early with the
result that market receipts during the
remainder Of the year are expected to
be decidedly less than usual and prices
should continue upward. especially for
the better grades.
A relatively small supply Of the bet
ter grades Of heavy steers is now COM
ing to market and they are selling on
/ a parity with lightweights which COM
manded premium through the latter
half Of 1924 and the first part Of 1925.
AS there is a limited demand for
heavyweights they are not likely to
command premium for any great
period Of time.
Feeder Cattle Demand.
The July report of the depart
ment forecast an increase in the
corn crop in the Corn Belt states Of 35
per cent over last year. The June pig
survey showed that the number Of
hogs on farms is the lowest in several
years. If the large corn crop mate
rializes there will doubtless be an ac-
tive demand for feeder cattle to fill the
gap. Higher prices for fed steers will
also tend to stimulate demand for
feeder cattle as we'll as for low-grade
cattle for slaughter.
No material change in the domestic
demand for beef is expected during the
remainder of the year, but the smaller
supply of hogs as compared with the
past year should be sustaining factor
for beef The European demand for
meats increased during the past year,
but so far as beef Is concerned most
Of the European trade Is supplied from
Argentina, and 1t seems likely that this
will continue. AS long as European
markets absorb the Argentine surplus
it is unlikely that there will be any
considerable movement Of beef from
that country to the United States.

Earn MITES.

Corn silage is a better feed than
corn fodder.
\ Scrub cows are manufacturers they
turn profits into losses.
More acres of soy beans than alfalfa
were planted in Ohio last year.
Blueberries seven-eighths of an inch
in diameter have been produced on an
experimental farm in New Jersey
which eventually should make> blue
berry pies less infrequent.
In soil fertility tests at the South
Dakota experiment station the addi-
ton of phosphorus alone has increased
the yield of all crops about 30 per
cent. These tests have been carried
on for Is years.
A better ration is always an eco.
nomical one. Six profitable. changes
in feeding methods were reported in
one month to the estate college at
Ithaca by those woo had finished itn
correspondence courses.

Pruning Necessary for
Tender Grade Varieties

Pruning is necessary for tender
grape varieties such as Concord and
Brighton which need to be laid down
and covered with dirt to avoid winter
killing. The removal Of excess wood
makes covering easier. Fall pruning
Is also recommended for the hardy
varieties.
Vines in their first season are usu-
ally cut back to one or two buds.
This may be repeated the second
year, particularly If the vines are
weak. Developing the permanent
training system for the vine is started
with vigorous vines in the second sea-
son and in all other cases in the third
year. The system selected at first
should be continued without change.
Changing the system will reduce the
crop.
The fan" system is common and
easy to follow. Five vigorous canes
are selected each fall and pruned to
eight or ten buds each. All other
growth is removed. With hardy va
rieties the selected canes may be tied
at once to the trellis, spreading the
canes like the ribs Of fan. Tender
varieties are tied up in the spring
after the dirt covering has been off
for three or four days.
The horizontal trunk" system Is
also common and is very easy to ham
die for winter protection. One strong
cane is left in the second or third
year and tied horizontally on a wire
about IL to IS inches from the ground.
The following year the lateral shoots
from this cane are cut back to spurs
eight to twelve inches long and the
shoot at the end of the cane is used
to extend the horizontal trunk to a
total length Of eight or ten feet. After
the trunk is developed the lateral
growth is cut back to spurs each fall.

Showers for Swine
Aid to Sanitation
System for Washing Before
Entering Killing Pen.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A shower-bath system for washing
hogs before they enter the killing pen
was recently installed in a large pack
ing plant at Salt Lake City as means
Of improving sanitary conditions about
the place in general and particularly
to aid in maintaining the scalding vat
in clean condition. Hogs normally
are dirty and dusty, and If not thor
oughly washed before killing will carry
many impurities into the scalding vat.
Maintaining the sanitary condition Of
the scalding vat has been one of the
most troublesome problems of meat
packing plants.
The shower installed in this plant
at suggestion from DR.. E. P. Dur
ham, in charge of federal meat inspec-
ton at Salt Lake City, consists of a
battery of five water nozzles of the
overhead fire-extinguisher type which
cannot clog by corrosion. AS the floor
of the pen is Of concrete, even the feet
Of the hogs are thoroughly cleaned.
The practice has not only reduced
the contamination of the water In the
scalding vat, but has also served to do
away with the dust which ordinarily
arises from dirty hogs, thus protecting
the employees of the killing section
of the establishment from infection
and irritation of the nose and throat.
The benefits of the plan greatly out
weigh the slight expense of installa-
ton and operation. Officials Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture state that the practice of washing
hogs prior to slaughter is suitable and
advisable in any plant. whether under
federal supervision or not.

Sweet Soil for Hubam

Like the other sweet clovers and al
falfa. Hubam will not grow on sour
soil. If your soil is sour, be sure to
lime 1t before seeding the clover. With
the many legume crops we have now
adays no small grain should ever be
seeded without seeding one of them
with 1t. No matter how much hay a
man may have he should always SOW
a legume with his small grain, If for
no other reason than to pillow 1t under
10 the fall or the following spring.

PAVING PLAN REJECTED
Commissioners Won't Improve Short
Strip North of Fall Creek.

County commissioners have re-
jected the plan to pave the short
strip of road along the north side
Of Fall Creek connecting Maple Rd.
and keystone Ave-, and the Mobiles
vile Rd., it was learned today. The
paving was part of a program agreed
to with the State for improvement
of roads around the Playground.
John McCloskey, Democratic COM
missioner, became enraged over the
proposed use of crushed stone in
the paving, wishing to specify
gravel, it was said, and refused to
join in letting contracts, including
a SIS, 900 flood retention wall.
