Twenty-five years ago the populai beef animal was a mountain of meat anil tallow. Pasture land was chear and labor low in price, so the raisei could afford to keep the animal until it weighed a ton before putting it on the market. The buyer wanted this kind of animal, for meat was cheap and the consumer could buy larg' cuts. Put new factors have brought about a change in values. As land and labor increased in price the farmer found that the longer he kept an animal the more of his labor went in maintenance and this lessened his profit just that much. Then he found that the higher-priced lauds could not be used for beef and that there was more money in raising corn. So men who had been engaged in raising cat tle for market started raising corn, and bought their steers from those occupying cheap lands and finished them off themselves. Throughout the 'orn belt the popular steer has ranged for 24 to 30 months old, says the Homestead. The majority of fattened steers went to market at 30 months, weighing from 1,500 to 1,350 pounds. The farmer preferred to feed these animals because there was generally i good demand for them in the mar is also necessary than In the case of the older ones whose appetites do not have to be catered to. The killer also discriminated against the younger ani mal because the carcass of the older animal usually carried a little firmer flesh than the young animal, and there is less water in the carcass, so that they kill out a larger per cent, of good meat- The feeder himself found that unless he exercised great vigilance, the young animals shrunk more in be ing shipped to market and Anally the consumer favored the meat from the older animal. If the cattle feeder aims to produce his own feeders, he cannot afford to let his calves lose what is known as “calf fat.' It is well known that young animals gain more rapidly in propor tion to their live weight and to 100 pounds of food than do older animals. That is, they not only made more economical use of their feed than the older animals, but they take a shorter time to make a certain total gain. The man who turns off a steer that weighs 1.000 pounds, lias, if that calf weighed 100 pounds at birth, been given 10 per cent, of the total weight by the dam. while the man who keeps the animal till it weighs 1,250 pounds has been A Bunch cf Prize Winning Feeders. ket. When purchased from western atiie raisers the}- were in thin con dition. but were rugged, thrifty, had ; rtood appetites, and were ia the best shape to make rapid gains. During the last few years, due to the fact that the sheep industry has been encroaching on the land in the west, and irrigating projects have made fruit raising successful, vast | ra,‘8e areas have been cut into small <arms for settlers who have no money to invest in cattle. Then, too. great , aumbers of cows and young stock are being sent to market each year, with 1 consequent decrease in the number : breeding animals on the range. One of the greatest problems that con i ironts the cattle feeder of today Is where 10 get hold of feeders. A number of people who used to feed cattle till 24 or 30 months of age in the corn belt are attempting to raise their own -alves and market them around 12 months of age or be tween the ages of 12 and IS months, md weighing from 800 to 1.000 pounds. This is what is known as the baby beef' proposition, and it is t question that is exciting more in terest every year among cattle feed ; r.Ts and producers. IJaby beef has not been popular with steer feeders because tinder eondi toins formerly existing the man on the range could produce them more I cheaply than the man In the corn belt j ~ould buy them. The extra land neces sary for maintaining breeding cows | could be used for corn; the feeding period of the baby beef animal lasted from 6 to 9 or 12 months, while that if the 24 and 30-months-old steer only lasted from 90 to 180 days. Then. too. greater uniformity and more indica tions of better breeding are necessary it- the baby beef proposition in feeding nit older cattle. Greater skill in feed ing and caring for the young animals i given only 8 per rent. The man who can make a steer weigh l.OOi) at II months has more return for his trouble than the man who keeps it 14 months, with an additional weight of only 250 pounds. Butchers, too, have changed to suit i the demand of the consumer. Al I though meat is generally considered a luxury in the diet of the poor man’s ! family, it stili remains an absolute ; necessity in the diet of the better | classes. But. where people formerly [ ordered large roasts and steaks, they : are ordering steaks and roasts now that are from GO to 75 per cent, small er. on account cf the advanced prices. They find that if they get a small roast from a large animal that it is "long" on bone. The butcher them to suit the demands for smaller bone de mands smaller animals, and during the last few months they have been I w illing to offer, not a premium on [ smaller steers so far as dollars per I 100 is concerned, but they have I brought the price of small steers up ! so close to that of the large ones that i there is really a premium on little I steers when we consider the cost of | production. I We do not think that the 1.200 | pound steer will ever be entirely | eliminated from the market, but we do think (if a conjecture is allowable! i that the baby beef animal will eon 1 tinue to increase in popularity in • those districts where men do not wish i to dairy.

DAIRY BUTTER IS PROFITABLE Lack of Attention by Fanners Has Caused Boom in Manufacture of Oleomargarine as Substitute. This is the time for dairy butter. Farmers have been giving this prod uct less and less attention in recent years and as one result of this oleo margarine. as a cheap substitute, has come into use. It has been observed during the months of phenomenally high prices that the butter substitutes are flour ishing to an amazing extent. They are taking a place in the world’s com merce which ought to be held by good, wholesome farm butter. With plenty of choice dairy butter, retailing at 25 to 30 cents per pound, oleomargarine wodld be driven from the tables of American families generally. When creimery product is selling at 40 to 50 tenta, the oleo comes quickly into common use. because there is not enough dairy butter to meet (he do ! ncands. The substitutes get their j start and hold a large and valuable trade simply because the farmers are neglecting the opportunity to furnish | a sufficient supply of fair to choice ; dairy butter. Not all farmers are lo cated near enough to creameries so that they can deliver their milk once a day without unreasonable travel. Those who are not should keep butter dairies, large or small, according to circumstances, and market their prod ust once a week. This is in the line of diversification and it is a paying proposition. I should not be all dairy, nor all poul try, nor all hogs, nor all corn, but a wise mixture so that the farmer al ways has something for the high mar kets. A little pushing along the dairy line just now is justified both by pres ent prices and future prospects. Sale of Jersey Cows.

No j external explosion, in his judgment, could have caused the conditions ob served in the remains of the vessel, j But General Bixby added that the pri mary cause of the explosion would' likely never be known, so the mys tery of the Maine, unlike the hull it- i self, may never be revealed. General Bixby said that unless the fragmenf of a torpedo could be found there is no way of connecting an outside agency with the blowing up of the vessel. The destruction to the vessel was such, says General Bixby. and the de terioration has been so great that it is impossible to tell whether the ship ' was blown up rrom a rorce witnin or without. The greatest rorce. however, was from the inside, indicating that the forward magazine had exploded. Whether this was from a sympathetic explosion caused by a torpedo from the outside may forever remain a mystery. Many will persist In believing that the American court of inquiry was right In attributing the awful result to two distinct explosions, the first of which was external and the cause of the second. Washington opinion is that there 1 Is no inconsistency between the court's findings and the view of General Bix by. and that the Sampson board, which decided twelve years ago that the battleship Maine was sunk by a torpedo or mine, will be vindicated in the final findings of naval officers Is the opinion expressed generally at the navy department. MAN AT THE CUSTOMS GATE William Loeb, Jr., Is the collector • of the Tort of New York. He is the Man at the Gate. Against him come yearly 300,000 tourists and a million immigrants in the fleet of 5,000 ships All manner of merchandise goes through his gate—more than a thou sand million dollars worth In a year. This man has to sort it and appraise It and tax it If it Is taxable. Of all I the people and the merchandise that enter the United States seven-tenths come through the port of New York and Loeb stands there with a staff to take the toll for the government on all that stupendous amount of traf fic. Although he has been no more than 27 months in office he has in creased the gettings of the govern ment by more than *15.000.000 He has enforced the commandment "Thou shalt not smuggle" as fully on the rich as upon the poor. He has iui fcru up ceariy a. aozen persistent | smugglers in Federal prisons and has humbled tbe pride of a hundred defiant tourists by having them arrested and heavily fined. Mr. Loeb says smuggling, even by nice people. Is a crime—just as much a crime as counterfeiting or passing bad checks The law that declares it 1. to be a crime is as plain as daylight. It is this law that was turned over in 1909, in a somewhat dusty and cob webbed condition, to \\ illiam Loeb. who had been for ten years secretary and general bandy man to Theodore Roosevelt. Loeb was to enforce this, and he was to receive a salary of $12,000 a year for enforcing it. From youth up, Loeb wa£ bred in politics. As a schoolboy, he lived in the political city of Albany. When he was forced to leave high school to help to support his brothers and sisters, he became a stenographer. In a few years he was the official reporter for the legislature Then for four years he was a stenographer and general assistant in the district attorney’s office of Albany county. At 25 years of age. he was the secretary to J. Sloat Fassett ! who was then the collector of the port of New York. Eight years later, he | began his ten years’ engagement with Theodore Roosevelt, during which time all the big problems of the customs came directly under his eye. It is a fact, though not generally known, that the exposure of the sugar ! trust, for the fraudulent weighing of sugar, was set on foot by Loeb through I the agency of Richard Parr, who was his schoolmate at Albany. FOSTER AND HIS MODEST FEE | John W. Foster, ex-secretary of state and known the world over though his connection with the dip lomatic corps of the United States, has come into the limelight through i the publication of alleged facts con cerning the collection of a claim against the Chinese government. It was the claim of the heirs of Freder ick T. Ward, an American soldier of fortune, who was killed in 1S62 while in the military service of China. China paid to the United States more than $24,000,000 indemnity for outrages during the Boxer outbreak. Of this less than $11,000,000 was awarded to claimants by this government and the remainder was returned to China with the exception of $2,000,000 re served for belated claims. Mr. Foster received for this work a fee of $1SO.OOO. The matter is now in the hands of a congressional com mittee for investigation. The amount paid tne claimants was Through his influence with the state department and our minister to China, as well as with Chinese officials whom he had known when on a dip lomatic mission to China in connection with the settlement of the Aar be tween China and Japan. Mr. Foster persuaded the Chinese government to consent to the payment of this claim out of the $2,000,000 reserve, though the case was not associated writh the HoxeV claims. . 1 TO PUBLISH A WORLD PAPER ~] , Another movement Is cow under way to bring the nations of the world into closer and more friendly rela tions. The International Journal, soon to be published in Paris and which will essentially be an interna tional organ,, and it is thought will be a long step In promoting harmony and friendship among nations The promoter of this new step in journalism is Theodore fatanton, son of the late Elizabeth Cady Stanton, one of the noted women of her time and a pioneer in the cause of woman suffrage. He has sounded the senti ment in the various capitals of Eu rope relative to the project and has found it favorable. While French will be the language mainly used la the publication, other ' languages will be employed. The pa per will have no policy, in the re ! stricted sense of the term, but will I film to imhlish truthfully and accu rately both sides of all questions of world-wide interest A large corps of editors will be employed. Transient matters will not be dealt with, but everything will be considered from the standpoint of international importance. Much of the misunderstandings between people are due to partial and incomplete information on subjects which are matters of international inter est.. When both sides of great questions are studied feelings are likely to be rendered more in accordance with reason and logic than sentiment.

FALSE HUNGER A Symptom of Stomach Trouble Cop rected by Good Food. There is, with some forms of stom ach trouble, an abnormal craving for food which is frequently mistaken for a “good appetite." A lady teacher writes from Carthage, Mo., to ex plain how with good food she dealt with this sort of hurtful hunger. “I have taught school for fifteen years, and up to nine years ago had good, average health. Nine years ago, however, my health began to fail, and continued to grow worse steadily, in spite of doctor's prescriptions, ant. everything 1 could do. During all thi time my appetite continued good, only the more I ate the more I wanted tc eat—I was always hungry. "The first symptoms of my break down were a distressing nervousnes: and a loss of flesh. The nervousnesr grew so bad that finally it amounted tc actual prostration. Then catne stom ach troubles, which were very painful, constipation which brought on piles, dyspepsia and severe nervous head aches. "The doctors seemed powerless to help me. said I was overworked, and at last urged me to give up teach ing. if I wished to save my life. "But this I could not do. 1 kept on at it as well as 1 could, each day grow ing more wretched, my will-power alone keeping me up. till at last a good angel suggested that I try a diet of Grape-Nuts food, and from that day to this I have found it delicious always appetizing and satisfying. “I owe my restoration to health to Grape Nuts. My weight has returned and for more than two years I have been free from the nervousness, con stipation. piles, headaches, and all the ailments that used to punish me so. and have been able to work freely and easily.” Name given by Postum Co.
