BEEF FORM.
Points to EC Considered In the High
est Development.
Professor C. F. Curtiss of the Iowa
experiment station gives in The Breed
er's Gazette the accompanying illustra
tion and description of a typical beef an
imal. The location of the crops is indi
cated by No. 14. They lie on either aide
of the spinal column , just back of the
top of the shoulders. They should be
full , so that the back and shoulder will
be evenly joined at this point ; the front
ribs should also be well sprung in the
region indicated by No. 12 below the
crops in order that there may be no
marked depression behind the shoul
ders and that the heart girth measured
around parts 12,14 and 31 may be full.
The location of the twist is at the back
part of the thigh , at about the point
indicated by No. 21. The desirable con
formation here is a thick , full thigh as
viewed from the rear , of good width
and prominence , giving a symmetrical
quarter. The dairy breeds are always

very deficient in twist , being thin and
what is termed "cat hammed. " This
conformation affords ample room for
the development of a good udder. The
term "fore flank" is not used in this
diagram , but it is represented by the
part just back of the elbow joint which
is located at the upper line of No. 28.
It also extends back for some distance
to about the point indicated by No. 31.
The top and bottqm lines as well as
the side lines should be nearly parallel
in a model beef animal. In reality ,
however , thie is seldom attained in the
lower line. Fullness at both front and
hind flanks and at heart girth (31) ( ) will
insure a good lower line , and "fullness
and evenness of neck , crops , back , loin
and rump will give a good upper line.
This is what is meant by good top and
bottom lines. Fullness and evenness of
the parts at 9 , 12 , 13 and 19 will give
a good side line.
Too Eurly Lamb * .
Hothouse products are very expen
sive , says The American Sheep Breeder.
The cost of the fittings and the unsea
sonable time of the work , together with
the limited market for them and in
creased cost of selling them , all together
necessarily so , increase the cost of the
product that less is incurred instead of
profit in the rearing of them. Very
surely it is not profitable to have these
early lambs unless they may be sold at
a largely advanced price , so that the
rearing of them is only to be thought
of as a special business to be prosecuted
under amply favorable circumstances.
We have not heard so much of this
early lamb business of late , and it is to
be reasonably supposed that the demand
for them has been altogether too limited
for the product of them , which has '
been unreasonably stimulated by the
highly colored statements of the profits
made in the business. It is nothing S
new anyway. The business was begun
30 years ago and it has been growing
healthfully since then until some own
ers of flocks gave some glowing accounts
of the profits they made and thus led
too many others into ill advised at
tempts to meet a limited demand with
unlimited supplies.
ICecp Slieep In Apple Orchards * .
Now that it is safe to talk sheep
without any danger of being laughed
at we want to say something in favor
of getting a few sheep and keeping
them in the apple orchard. They will
eat the small bitter apples that the pigs
will not touch and if fed a gill of oats
each per day they will after a summer
in the orchard come out fat in the fall ,
besides leaving their manure evenly
distributed under the trees. Care should
be taken to prevent the pasture getting
too poor , so the sheep do not get enough
to eat. If they are at all starved , the
sheep will gnaw at the apple bark , and
once they get a taste of this it will
never be safe to put them in an apple
orchard'again. It is not best anyway
place them in young and rapidly
growing orchards , whose bark is always
tender. The rough bark of old bearing
orchards does not tempt them unless
they find sap sprouts growing out of it.

Good Horses Wanted.
It is probable that few men except
those engaged in handling horses about
the markets and in the centers of horse
raising industry have realized the smallness -
ness of the number of suitable breeding
stock to provide for the rapidly increas
ing demand for really good horses. The
shortage is in all classes except those
that are not fit for any demand. Not
only is there a deficiency of good brood
mares for producing the fashionable
coach horses , roadsters and s-iddlers ,
but the draft stock of the country is in
fehe same condition. Live Stock.

Cotton Seed For
W. A. Henry , in his work entitled
"Feeds and Feeding , " presents the fol
lowing on feeding cotton seed to hogs :
"All efforts to determine the poisonous
principle in the cotton seed , if there
really be one. have thus'far proved fu (
tile , and the matter is still u mystery.
The effects have been ascribed to the
line of the seed , to the leathery seed C
coals causing injury to the delicate lin CG
ing of the digestive tact , to molds , to
changes in the composition to the meal G
when exposed to the air and to some
definite poisonous principle in the seed
itself , as in the case of the castor oil
p
bean. " Good authorities assert that
cotton seed is also fatal to hogs. Sometimes -
times tney will thrive on it for a time ,
but it will kill them quickly. Some
months m ago The Journal gave the ex
perience of a gentleman who had farmed
many years in Tennessee. His hogs had
access to cotton seed that had been in -
shallow water for some time , entirely l
til
below the surface , but within reach of
the hogs. All of them seemed to thrive
on the feed , but it was not shown how
long they fed on it. Altogether it would
be safer not to "monkey with it. "
