LIVE STOCK
Live Stock Industry Working South.
Gradually our live stock interests
are working southward though they
have not as yet reached in a very con
siderable degree even the more south
erly limits of what we are pleased to
call the Northern States. We have
noticed this gradual movement in Illi
nois during the last ten years. At
the present time a traveler in South
ern Illinois is struck by the compara
tively few cattle to be met with there,
yet he will also notice that the num
ber is much larger than it was a few
years ago. Here and there stock
farms have been established that are
being looked up to by the farmers of
the vicinity, most of whom have no
stock to speak of. In the very south
ern part of the state the writer passed
one farm on which was a fine herd
of Herefords. A man of the neigh
borhood said: “Yes, Judge -* is
beginning to get something from bis
stock farm now, though for some
years he put two dollars into It for
every one he took out. But he was
all the time bringing up his land. Now
it is in fine condition. But then he
was a judge and his salary helped run
the farm.”
This points a double lesson. First,
tlat the belief must be inculcated into
the /farmers of those sections that live
stock is a good thing, and, second,
that it takes capital to tide over the
time when the live stock farm is be
ing established, if all things are to
be done at once and on a large scale.
The southern parts of Illinois and In
aiana have a climate and soil well
adapted to the growing of live stock.
The location i» not far enough south
to endanger .he animals from Texas
fever and is not so far north that
beef cattle need much protection in
winter. The growing or not growing
of live stock is the difference between
constructive and destructive farming.
The presence of live stock helps to
build up the land. Its absence fre
quently results ,in depreciating It,
though this is not absolutely neces
sary. It is, however, the usual result
and is likely to be for some genera
tions to come.
A Few Sheep.
In looking over some reports of
sheep on farms we are struck with
the fact that in some of our states
not one half of the good-sized farms
carry any sheep. In the old days it
was assumed that every farmer had
at least a few sheep. We believe that
to-day it would be better for the
farms and better for the whole popu
lation of the country if every farm
had a small flock of sheep. It ap
pears to us that a small flock of sheep
could be kept in the summer time
at least at almost no cost and with
great benefit to the arable portions
of the farms. The husbandman works
to get the weeds out of ..is un^uie
fields, but the whole length of the
pasture fence is a mass of weeds on
the side of the pasture and from their
tops blow millions of weed seeds
every year. The sheep would keep
most of these weeds down and thus
destroy the source from which the
fields get their annual supply of weed
seeds. One reason why farmers do
not keep more sheep is that dogs are
destructive to the flocks; but as these
ravages occur generally in the night
the trouble is obviated by penning the
sheep at night. The matter of fences
is another cause that deters some,
but a fence that is hog proof and
horse proof is generally sheep proof
During the last few years there has
been a steady decline in the sheep
growing industry in every state ex
cept one east of the Mississippi. This
condition of affairs is profitable neith
er to the nation nor the farmer.
The Exact Food Required.
It has been well demonstrated with
in the last few years that many of
our animals receive far more food
than they require or than they can
use to advantage. As a result some
of our skillful feeders have cut down
the grain they were feeding to steers
five pounds and found they got as good
results. We have taken it for granted
that the more feed the animals ate
the better it was for them, and the
more force they were developing for
their various needs. As well assert
that it makes no difference how much
fuel we use to do a certain amount of
cooking. We know that in that case a
vast amount of fuel can be absolutely
wasted. One man that had a lahge
number of stock to feed figured out
the saving to himself in the feeding of
oats. He made his figures on a hun
dred head of animals and with oats
at 40 cents per bushel. By feeding
just the amount of oats required he
saved one pound per head per day
over what he had been accustomed to
feed. This meant 100 pounds per day
for all the animals, 365 pounds a
year per animal and 36,500 pounds of
oats during the year. This weight of
oats, at 32 pounds to the bushel, was
worth $456. That was pretty good pay
for a little expenditure of thought. A
little figuring and observation did the
work.
Care in Dressing Animals.
In the dressing of any animal it is
always well to consider that possibly
it may be affected with tuberculosis
or some other contagious disease.
There is little danger of infection if
there is no wound on the hands that
can come into contact with the meat.
A good many cases are on record
where men have lost their lives by
carelessness in this regard. Butchers
are perhaps oftener the subject of
such accidents than any others; and
the amateur butcher is as certainly
in danger as the professional. A Chi
cago man reports as follows to the
United States Bureau of Animal In
dustry:
G. E. W., Pole; age, 34; weight, 170
gpunds; healthy looking man; butcher
by occupation. Family history nega
tive. Father of three healthy chil
dren. Has no recollection of having
been previously sick. On May 3, 1899,
while cleaning cattle viscera, he fell
and a stationary meat hook upon
whieh the hearts and lungs are hung
penetrated through the right hand be
tween the second and third metacarpal
bones. A tendo vaginitis resulted,
with some lymphangitis of the arm.
He received the usual treatment for
an infect-il wound tpd apparently
made a good recovery, vith, however,
some limited motion of the fingers
and a sensitive scar at the site of
puncture. Four months afterwards an
abscess formed in the axilla, which
was cleaned out and tut^*rcle bacilli
were demonstrated in l>:e broken
down gland tissue. At this time
there was no soreness in the arm
lymphatics or elbow gland, but he
complained that there had been. In
three months afterwards, or seven
months from the original accident, he
died from pulmonary tuberculosis.
System in Feeding.
Animals cannot get the best results
from their feed unless it Is given
them regularly and in quite uniform
portions. Every farmer should have
a regular system for the feeding of
his farm animals, whether ani
mals be the ones used for the (educ
tion of meat and milk or for Ue pro
duction of force to be expended in
labor. Irregular meals are as bad for
animals as for human beings. The di
gestive systems adapt themselves to
certain habits and seem to be as
much opposed to irregularity as if
they were sentient beings. On many
farms there is no system of feeding
and the results obtained are poor.
One man will work his horses for
hours beyond their regular meal
times. During the last hour or so the
animal is losing vigor rapidly. He is
given food when his strength is partly
exhausted. The stomach '■had not the
vigor of digestion that it had at the
regular eating time, and the result is
more or less disarrangement, some
times resulting in the imperfect diges
tion of the food taken. This is a mat
ter that every human being has ex
perienced himself. The results are
far more disastrous than we have
been Ted to suppose. The fact is eas
ier to establish than the reason for it.
The cow, the pig, and the sheep, when
depending on man to do the feeding
fare best and thrive best when their
food comes in accordance with a reg
ular system. It is not so much a
question of how many meals an ani
mal has a day as of their regularity.
Feeding Pigs and Hogs When Being
Pastured.
It Is always doubtful If it pays to
try to feed swine on pasture alone,
though this is often done. Pigs will
make a growth on pasture, especially
if it contains much clover; but we
doubt if the farmer is getting as
much out of it as he would be if
he fed the animals an additional ra
tion of a more concentrated feed.
In a state of nature the animal is
compelled to get its living from the
herbage of the fields and from the
roots in the ground, but in such a
state it never develops enough flesh
and fat to make it a profitable product
for our meat trade. Its growth is
then slow and its development mus
cular. It becomes wiry. No one
wants to eat meat from a wiry hog.
So we have to swing away from na
ture, and so feed that the texture of
the flesh of the animal will be tender.
To get this, quick growth is desired
and this can only be obtained by push
ing the development by the feeding
! of rations in addition to those ob
tainable by the animal in the woods
and fields.
Pigs in Prison.
In the older parts of the country
it has been the practice to keep the
pigs shut up from birth to maturity.
A little pen in the barn was thought
to be sufficient and sometimes there
was even no yard for the pigs to run
out in. The said pen was sometimes
only six or eight feet square. Here
the pigs were kept close prisoners.
No wonder that troubles like thumps
were common with pigs so treated,
id some extent this practice still
remains. There is no question that
swine should be given room for exer
cise, even if no pecuniary advantage
can be figured from it. None of our
farms are so small that there is not
an abundance of room for the yard
that should be connected with every
pig pen. The larger the yard the
better, and if it is large enough to
be divided into sections in which
green stuff may be grown alternately,
it will be the more profitable.
More Trophies for College Boys.
The Union Stock Yards and Tran
sit Company of Chicago has decided
to offer two new trophies to take the
place of the Spoor trophy, won per
manently by the Iowa State College.
One of these new trophies will be of
fered for excellence in judging cattle,
hogs and sheep, and the other will be
awarded for judging horses. These
trophies will be offered as prizes to
students representing the various ag
ricultural colleges of the United
States and Canada at the coming In
ternational Live Stock Exposition in
Chicago the first week in December,
and, in addition, it is expected that
liberal cash prizes will be offered.
Disinfecting Curing Rooms.
Canadians that have charge of num
bers of curing rooms follow the prac
tice of washing the shelves with some
disinfectant before putting on each
batch of cheese. Both formalin and
corrosive sublimate are used. The
formalin is used at a strength of one
part of formalin to ten of water and
the corrosive sublimate at the rate
of one part of the poison to 1,000 of
wat^r by weight. The formalin is
certainly less dangerous than the
other. The object of the treatment
is to prevent the development of mold
spores, which make so much trouble
in many of the places where cheese
is ripened.
A Manipulated Test.
Reports from Vermont say that at
one of the creameries in that state
a little unpleasantness has been occa
sioned by the discovery that two of
the patrons had been working a
slight-of-hand trick on the cream
gatherer and had continually substi
tuted test bottles filled with very
rich cream for the bottles containing
the samples o# cream from the prod
uct of the patrons in question. One
man had thus secured from the
creamery payments in excess of a
thousand dollars not belonging to him.
At last the creamery officials began
to suspect that something of tho kind
was being done and laid a trap for
these patrons. The two were caught
at the trick- and means taken to se
cure repayment of the money thus
fradulentty secured.

Some grocers say they don’t keep
Defiance Starch. This is because they
have a stock on hand of other brands

which they won’t be able to sell first,
because Defiance contains 16 oz. for
the same money.
Do you want 16 os. instead of 12 os.
