BEEF AND DAIRY CATTLE RAISING For many years cattle raiding for beef was tbe principal Industry of northwestern Nebraska and is yet over a large part of this country, but with the homesteading of lands and the breaking up of some of the large ranches Into smaller holdings, more Mnd more utteiition Is being given to dairying. And yet with the high price of beef cattle, that part of cat tle raising will hardly be overlooked even by the mowt enthtwiastlc dairy num. How to successfully combine the two Is a growing question in this country. la this connection the following, Which appeared In an exchange some weeks ago, may contain some sugges tions that will be valuable to inter ested persona: Beef Production from Dairy Stock Beef from dairy types may come from two sources aside from the meat furnished by tho carcass. There are calves from the straight dairy breeds sold at an early age, and calves grown into meat which are the offspring of straight beef bulls, la both Instances they must be grown Into meat at reasonably young age. From straight dairy oows the calves should be turned off, as a rule, under rather than over twelve months. The reason Is found in the tendency to revert more and more to the dairy form and more and more away from the beef form, with advancing age. Even the dairy calf may be made to assume plumpness of form at an early age When fed on suitable foods. The young animals. therefore, of dairy blood will not be much discounted In price as compar ed with young animals of the beef typo. The high prices of meat make it a matter of some importance to obtain meat from such a source. When the progeny are not wanted for future production In the dairy, the cowa may be mated with beef bulls when the object sought Is to freshen them for further production. H'hen this method is followed, the host tyi of beef bul1f should be used. This does not mean the prog eny will be the equal of animals of the beef types for making beef, but tney may be profitably grown with a good class of beef. They will be grown on much the same plan as (he calves above referred to, with the difference that they should not be plven too much carbonaceous meal when young and more nitrogenous meal, such as oats, in order to se cure larger growth. The heavy feed ing of carbonaceous foods should come later, as during the weeks and it may be months precJlng the flushing, such catte should be sold at ay somewhere between 12 and 14 months. When well fed they will bring a relatively good price, as the wHI furnish a good quality of nier.t. In the not distant future eon Mtderable attention will be gtvn to the growing of beer from such a scarce. POULTRY AND PRODUCE FARM Win. Krman of Oshkosh, Nebr., who has beon experimenting in growing garden, truck th taut year, has decided to run a poultry and produce farm to supply the Alliance market, and a a starter has pur chased five acres of Mr. Dreckner, In Duncan's Addition, northeatt of the oHy. The sal was made thru the agency of E. T. Kibble A Co. With garden stuff and cold stor age eggs bdng shipped Into Alli ance to supply tho local demand, a farm snnh as Mr. Erman Is planniug should prove to be a profitably en terprise. Ho will pu'. up a houne and other necessary buildings InttM spring on the tract which he has pur chased and will put down a good well from which to irrigate at time during the summer when the rain fall doeB not supply as much moist ure as may be desired for the veg etables. .
