Animals Like These "Possibly this is tho wrong way to look at it, but It seems to mo that in our efforts to develop tho dairy busi ness wo are about to loso sight of the fact that growing and fattening beof cattlo is a big part of cattlo raising. I hear lots of discussion of dairying. Someone Is always trying to start a creamery or a dairy," writes S. A. Per ry of Missouri in Farm Progress, "but tho bcef-cattlo business does not get so much attention." Undoubtedly this Is wrong. Wo can't all go into tho dairying or cream-sell ing business. There aro great stretches of good cattle growing and fattening country in every state where tho dairy ing end of tho business cannot amount to very much for a long tlmo to como. There aro no markets for tho cream, the milk and tho butter. Rail road transportation Is poor and there aro no buyers in reach of tho cream. Where a man has enough land for a reasonable amount of pasture and can go ahead raising plenty of grain and forage at tho same tlmo he need not count himself out of tho cattlo busi ness even if there Is no trolley lino running through his place and no rail road depot handy to take caro of sur plus cream. What he can do is to buy up calves, raise all ho can from tho cows on his homo place and turnthcso youngsters into big steers with the help of his pastures, his forage and his silo. The silo is ono of tho pieces of equipment on the dairy farm that tho beof grower can use to a great ad vantage. It will help make beef and will do it cheaply. With a couple of well-filled silos the beef grower can get through short pasturo periods in dry summers and can keep his young stuff growing right along through the winter. He won't havo to spend all his possible profits for "cake" and oth er "Btoro feeds' in order to do so. Any farmer who wants to go a little deeper into steer feeding as a plain money making proposition ought to fit himself out with plenty of silo room right in tho boginnlng, no matter how much pasture land and forage he may have in sight. For two or three years back men who havo had a good many cattle Excellent Beef Specimen. gathorod up in their pastures In this vicinity have had to Blap tboir steers on tho market right in the middle of tho summer. Thoy wore running short of pasturo because of tho dry weather bjuI had no money to buy feed to par ry thorn over lato summer, rail and part of tho winter. Theso men are sort of discouraged about cattlo growing and feeding, but a few silos would havo put a different face on tho whole problem. Those "canned pastures" could havo been opened when tho grass got short and tho pastures began to turn brown and they would havo carried tho yearlings, two-year-olds and blggor steers right on up to dry feeds. A fow good steers on tho averago Blzed farm would prove to bo mort gage lifters and bank account makers. There Ib always a great deal of forage going to waste. Thoy would tako care of this in a money-making mannor. Corn Is sold as a money crop on tho averago farm, but It would bo a great deal bettor to turn this corn into beof and soil it in that shapo. By putting a little more attention on the bettor soodlng and care ot farm pastures thoy could bo mado to give better summer support to more cattle than they now take care ot. Alfalfa, soy beans, cowpoas, etc., would help to do the rest Tho farm. Are Always In Demand. could bo mado to grow tho steers and do most of tho work of finishing them for tho market. Thcro is no need of worrying about Idw prices of beof and overproduction. Beef is in fully as much demand as bread right now and, 1b likely to continue in that way as long as armies of millions ot men aro in tho field demanding rations. GOOD FORMULA FOR BROOD SOW RATION Combination of Corn, Alfalfa and Meat Meal Tankage Recom mended by an Expert. Corn, alfalfa and meat meal tank ago mako a very exceptionally good trio of brood sow feeds it happily combined. This Is tho opinion of John M. Evvard, tho Iowa hog feed ing oxpert. Ho suggests giving tho sows enough corn to keep them in good condition, adding alfalfa In a rack and giving them about one-fifth to one-fourth of a pound of tho moat meal tankage dally. Tho alfalfa may bo ground and mixed with tho corn, using 100 pounds ot each, and tho mixturo thon fed from self-feeders. An averago gilt of 250 pounds will eat about Ave to six pounds of this dally, so to get tho necessary tankago Into it, mix with every 100 pounds about five pounds of the meat product. If the sows get too fat, increase the proportion of. ground alfalfa accordingly. Tho re sults should bo happy ones at farrow ing tlmo. "Don't forget," adds Mr. Eward, "tho common salt at free will and plenty of good wholcsomo water." Corn may not bo plentiful in this state this year and all farmers may not have alfalfa hay. Howover, thoy also may benefit from tho foregoing suggestions. Thoy may feed barley instead of tho corn and clover hay in stead of tho alfalfa hay and expect al most equally good results. Meat meal, though it may cost ?50 per ton, is, a relatively economical feed for balanc ing such highly carbonaceous feeds as corn and barley. It Is a very highly concentrated feed. MAKING MONEY WITH WETHERS AND LAMBS Get Animals to Market Soon as Fit When Pastures Are Short Feed Grain. Get all wethers and lambs In tho market aB soon as fit. A good article nover goes a-begging in a good mar ket. No animal is profitablo when stand ing still in condition. Thero Is profit In growth. A mere maintcnanco system of feodlng is a losing game. If tho pastures aro short, feed grain in troughs, in tho pasturo. Feed regularly. A very small quantity of grain given dally and regularly often turns tho scale from loss to profit. Koop tho Hock tagged or maggota may breed underltho filth. Examine tho horns and around tho ears. Turpont'.no dropped in holes and on sores will dislodge magots; then smear with tar. Tho flock must havo shado and shel ter during tho hot days of August. Bo suro it Is provided. Unless you havo fed roots you can not rcallzo how valuablo thoy aro for all stock, particularly shoop.

A treo sparrow is said to conBumo one-fourth of an ounco of injurious, weed floods a day, and weed seeds constltuto three-fourths ot tho dlot of tho song Bparrow. Quail, bobo links, blackbirds, Bomo of tho larks and wild ducks aro among tho birds that aro valuablo to farmers as de stroyers ot noxious weed seeds.
