Useful Type of Calves
for Making Baby Beef

Calves to qualify as baby beef must
have quality and finish. The consumer
does not want the unfinished year.
ling, and the calf that does not have
quality will not take on high finish.
Neither will the calf lacking in early
maturing qualities fatten during the
latter part of the feeding period, but
instead it will use most Of the feed
which It consumes for growth. Keep
ing this in mind, the feeder should
first determine whether his calves are
good enough to compete on the fat
yearling market, and if he decides
that they are not, they should be fin
ished off on coarser feeds for a later
market.
1'he wide, deep-bodied. thick fleshed
calf with short legs and an album
dance of quality as indicated by fine
ness of hair, texture of skin, smooth
ness of flesh, and general refinement
about the head and other parts of the
body is the type best suited for maxi
ing prime baby beef. Uniformity in
size, weight, and color should not be
overlooked, because such factors are
an advantage in marketing.

Right Breeding Stock
Is Important Factor


One of the first essentials of profit
able hog production is good hogs. The
breed selected does not make so much
difference, but it is fundamentally inn
portant to obtain good individuals for
the foundation stock, writes Edgar
Martin, in the Prairie Farmer. A good
beginning pays in future years.
Sows should be bred for two filters
year, each SOW raising five or more
pigs per litter. The pigs should be
narrowed in February or March for
spring and August or September for
fail filters. The spring pigs should go
to market the following September or
October and the fall pigs during the
following March or April.
Good feeding and care will be re-
quired to send good pigs to market
weighing 200 pounds or more, as early
as September or April. 1t will pay,
however, since after October and
April the price may be expected to
decline.
For most profitable results. except
what is desired for breeding stock,
hogs should be fulfilled from farrow-
ing until sent across the scales to
market.

Find Pure Bred
Cows Now Excel
Surpass Grades in Most
Economical Production Of
Butterfat and Milk.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultpre.)
The statement Is sometimes made
that grade dairy cows produce as
much milk and butterfat per COW as
pure breds. Even when it is admit
ted that pure breds produce more than
grades, it is sometimes claimed that
the grades produce more economically.
Such conclusions, according to DIR. j..
G. Mcdowell, dairy husbandman Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, have as rule been based on
general observations or on compare
lively small number of records.
Pure BREEDS Excel Grades.
AS matter of fact, after comparing
the records Of 29,397 pure-bred cows
and 71,745 grades in dairy-herd-im-
provement associations, Doctor Nc
Dowell finds that these pure breds ex-
ceIled the grades in both production
and in income over cost of feed by
to 10 per cent. The results of this
study are discussed in Circular 26-C,
Comparison of Pure Bred and Grade
Dairy Cows" just issued by the de-
partment.
On an average, In one year the pure
breds of all ages ate $14.52, or % per
cent, worth of feed more per COW than
the grades. They produced 1915 per
cent more milk and 81 per cent more
butterfat than the grades, and in year.
~ income over cost of food they ex-
celled the grades by 81 per cent, or
$S.66 per COW.
Closer CuIling In Grades.
The record showed that the pure
breds, on the average, excelled the
grades in milk production until the
age of thirteen years, in butterfat pro-
duction until the age Of eleven years,
and. In income over cost of feed per
COW until the age of eleven years. Aft
er these ages the grades slightly ex-
celled the pure breds. Doctor Mellow
ell attributes this to the practice of
closer culling in grade herds than in
Dure-bred herds. 1t is obvious that
culling out the low producers from
the grade herds Is largely responsible
for only producers reaching the aged
group. In pure-bred herds. however.
culling is not SO generally practiced
on production basis. Close culling
Is practiced in grade herds but the
pure-bred herd is improved largely
through breeding.
Owners of either sort can draw
lesson from these facts, says Doctor
Mcdowell. Closer culling is important
in pure-bred herds and better breeding
Is essential in grade herds.

Hog Pasture Rotation
Practiced in Illinois

In following out his sanitary hog
raising plan, Bert Kellogg of Kendall
county, Illinois, uses flve-year rota-
ton, writes Earl Price in Farm
Life. Each field has spring wheat, or
some other spring-sown small grain,
followed by two years Of alfalfa, then
two years of corn. On this particular
farm each lot contains about five acres
and all are located near the barns SO
that feed and water are convenient.
The first year, alfalfa is always
used as the sanitary" pasture for
the spring pigs. Portable hoghouses
provide shade and shelter, and the
filters are moved out Of the farrow-
ing house to the pasture as soon as
weather permits.
The second year alfalfa is pastured
with cattle. Usually both crops OF
corn are supplemented with soy beans
and "hogged off," In preparing for
the spring grain the second year corn
stalks are either plowed under or
thoroughly disked..
Mr.. Kellogg finds that pasturing
with hogs and the use Of alfalfa two
years out Of the five, keeps his soil
high in fertility and organic matter.

Within the last year a new story
about the first Stars and Stripes has
come to light. Among the effects Of
Capt. John Hubert, who commanded
a Long Island company which went
to Ticonder0ga at the outbreak of the
war and returned with British pris-
oners to show to congress in Philadel-
phia on November 20, 1875, has been

William D. Halsey of Bridgehampton.
Historians, who have seen the flag and
the documents found with it, believe
1t possible that this flag. carried by
Captain Hulbert's men, made such an
impression upon the members of con-
gress that. when they came TO adopt
a national ensign, they simply asked
local seanistress, (Betsy Ross), to
make similar flag. Or Hopklnson
may have seen it, made design aft
err it and submitted to congress that
design which was accepted and which
led TO the historic resolution Of June
IA, 17TT. b
Just as there Is dispute over the
origin of the Stars and Stripes, SO il
there a dispute, over the question of
when the new flag, after it's adoption
by congress, received its FIRST baptism
of fire. The usual view is that this
occurred at Fort Schuyler Cor Fort
Stanwix) near Rome, N. Y, on Au-

SO claims it and apparently she has

that when John Stark. defeated the
British and Hessians at the famous
Battle OF Bennington on August 10,
TIT, his men fought under an Amer

Bean Diseases and
Control Measures
Simple Rules Will Obviate
Loss While in Transit.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
-Four simple rules that will obviate
much Of the loss to snap beans in tran
I sit appear in leaflet just issued by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture as Miscellaneous Publication
IGN, "Save the Beans" The rules
are:
1. Pick beans, If practicable, when
the vines are dry. Beans packed dry
are not so likely to decay as wet ones.
Moreover, picking beans and cultivat-
ing fields when the beans are wet
favor the spread of such diseases as
blight and anthracnose.
2. Sort the beans. Spread them OF
canvas or burlap racks, then discard
all those showing blemishes or wounds
of any kind. These bIemishes are
usually caused by decay-producing or
ganisms which develop rapidly in con-
tainers. discontinued and broken
beans should be removed, since they
provide an opportunity for the en-
trance of organisms which cause de-
cay. These blemishes and wounds fire.
quently originate in the field while the
beans are still on the vine.
3. Keep the harvested beans out Of
the sun and rain while awaiting trans
portation. Decay is more rapid when
the beans are warm in the presence of
abundant moisture. Wet beans in a
container dry slowly, If at all. They
are likely to get warmer rather than
cooler.
4. Keep the beans cool.
The leaflet also lists six common
bean diseases (anthracnose, bacterial
blight, mosaic, powdery mildew, root
rot, and rust), briefly gives the chief
symptoms, and the available measures
for control. Nesting" diseases are
briefly mentioned.
