BEEF ARISTOCRATS.
Americans No Longer Willing- to Put
I p With roof Meat.
Wo .ire becoming a nation of beef!
aristocrats, and we are not willing to
put up with the quality of beef which
was provided ten years ago by our lo
cal butchers. This change of tastes
has been brought about largely through
the better methods of feeding cattle, as
now practiced In the great' grain grow
ing states. It Is not the writer's In
tention to undertake to describe what
the future beef animal will be, but
more especially to note the points
wrhich will roost likely fill the future
requirements of the consumer. The
great increase In the consumption of
beef during the past three years has
emphasized the fact that better and
more beef Is demanded by all classes
of people. Not only la this true of our
own people, but also in the foreign
markets where our products are sold.
Likely there will always be a limited
demand, for special purposes, for can
ned beef which will consume a large
part of the Inferior grades of beef
which finds its way to' our principal
markets, but the general public, those
who are beef consumers of today and
those who buy small supplies from
CHAMPION BULL "PAT," OWNED BY TBB
PRINCE OP WALES.
day to day, are becoming a little more
fastidious, and there is a just dis
crimination between the good and tho
inferior sorts and the poorly fed and
the well fed animal. The Ideal animal
of the future will not be one with a
preponderance of fat, It muBt be one
of rather matured beef, nicely grained
and of sufficient solidity to glvo sub
stance to the carcass.
Breeders of the different pure beef
breeds of cattle are strongly Impressed
with the belief that their particular
breed should take highest rank In pro
ducing the ideal beef animal, but It
will always remain with the farmer
and feeder to furnish that animal which
will please the taste of the average
consumer. While the grass fed ani
mals from the western ranches will
furnish a fairly good supply of beef,
yet the prime sort will always come
from the grain growing sections of the
country, and for this reason there Is a
very bright outlook for the feed grow
er and for the cattle feeder who is
located In any of the central states,
These, states are favorably situated
and so blessed with many progressive
and painstaking breeders and feeders
that here will always be produced the
best and choicest beef animals of the
world. If one would care to follow the
reports of the fat stock shows held
during the past season, he will discover
that the majority of prime beeves has
come from Indiana and Illinois, and it
is a noteworthy fact that these states
have never fallen behind in the com
petition of fatted animals In any show
held In this country. It remains, then,
for these feeders and grain raisers to
determine as near as possible what
the demand will be during the next dec
ade for beef animals and to meet that
demand as nearly as possible, When
any farmer or feeder has determined
these points and settled It In his own
mind decisively, he has gone a long
way In making a success of his cattle
raising and feeding business. The path
of the breeder of beef stock Is. plain,
and the path of the general" grain
raiser and stock feeder Is plain, and
he who will not keep In tine with the
demands of the day will surely and
quickly fall In his work.
Yoang Iloraea In Winter.
Many farmers seem to have a notion
that If a horse Is to be tough, rugged
and wiry he must endure hardships
during colthood, says Wallace's Farm
er. Others have an idea that nothing
Is too good for the well bred colt and,
therefore, that he should be kept close
ly stabled and blanketed In the winter
season. It Is bard to tell which of
these Is the worst nousepse. Let us
see what Is required.
In the case of the weanling, you are
laying the foundation, or rather you
are attempting to carry out the plan,
of the architect or the breeder. 1 f the
plan of the architect Is to be carried
out, the colt must have abundant nour
ishment, maluly albuminous, such as
oats and clover hay, with more or less
corn, during tho winter. To give this
colt a kind of balancing ration 11 ml keep
him tied up In the stable Is absolute
rruelty. He needs shelter from storms,
but he must have In order to develop
properly abuudant exercise ami that,
too,. In the sunlight and open air. It Is
folly to hamper a colt, and equal folly
to stunt It by submitting It to hard
conditions, such as the run of a stalk
field and the food he may gather there.
The yearling may with profit be giv
en a little grain during the winter,
should perhaps for Its best develop
ment, but after the colt Is a year old, If
you will give It plenty of good blue
grass pasture, or a second crop clover
field that has not been pastured down,
give It the run of a haystack, clover
preferred, plenty of salt aud water and
exercise, and a shed of the simplest
kind If It be only waterproof for refuge
In stormy days, that colt will give a
good account of Itself, not only In Its
yearling form, but until 3 years old,
when It should begin, like the boy of
15 or 10, to euru Its living.
Stacking Cora Fodder,
Stack the corn fodder under cover If
possible. It will be needed this winter
and goes further If run through a cut
ter or shredder.
CULTIVATION OF MANURE.
Straw milled and Waste Prevented,
Well Located Durnyiird.
It requires considerable labor and
prompt attention to make manures and
retain the elements of natural fertility
within the accumulation of stable and
barnyard, especially if exposed to the
air aud rain. No ouo tlnuies that a ma
nure shed or covered barnyard Is the
safest way to prevent loss from leach
ing, but very few farmers own or are
able to construct covered yards. For
nearly 20 yVars we have not sold any
straw from the farm nor have we sold
any hay for ten years. The hay is fed
aud some straw, but a very large pro
portion of the latter finds its way Into
manure under the feet of our stock as
bedding and absorbent to save largely
the liquid portion of aulmal excrement.
Sometime) at first It seems next to
impossible to work the large quantity
of straw thrashed each fall luto ma
nure fit for farm use, but each year
before next thrashing time we have to
husband our stock of straw for bed
ding or let our cows, horses, calves,
sheep and pigs sleep In filthy quarters,
much to our annoyance and loss finan
cially. Our stock of manures Is made out of
doors ,or, rather, finished there after
being hauled from the stables. Cow .
and horse manures are mixed and
spread out In a large pile and every
few days the flat rick or pile is bedded
by distributing a layer, of straw over it
and usually the young stock has some
hay placed there so as to Induce them
to tramp the manure and straw to
gether. By hauling the manures di
rectly from stall to field we could not
utilize much over one-half the bulk of
straw on hand; hence we feel that wo
do not lose much from accumulation of
manure for at least a few weeks, if
handled rightly. At no time do we
allow manures taken from the Btables
thrown out In conical piles to ferment
and fire fang that is, to consume In a
slow combustion, and also to leach and
leave little but a small percentage of
phosphoric acid and potash. Where
hired men are employed It Is very diffi
cult to get them to comprehend the ad
vantages obtained by an even distribu
tion of the voldlngs of animals and
they have to be constantly reminded
to do it properly. Where straw Is not
plenty and a covered yard not provided
we would suggest getting manure on to
BARNTAKD,
the land as fast as It Is taken from the
Btables, but In our case the necessity of
absorbing large quantities of straw
makes that mode Impracticable.
We find that our soil requires large
quantities of humus and that without
It farming Is not successful, especially
on clay soils. In these soils the work
of decay of organic matter not only
directly adds fertility, but It disinte
grates In sued soils, which naturally
become tenacious without It and fre
quently because of a lack of enough
humus unavailable fertility remains
locked up and even available material
becomes "reverted" or unavailable. To
avoid an overplus of humus In our
three year rotation we do not distribute
more than ten tons of such manure on
an acre and do that from the wagon.
This Is usually as much, along with an
undergrowth of a second crop of clo
ver, as an acre will take care of with
the average rainfall of the growing
season. By this economy we are able
to spread our quite large supply over a
large territory and doing so every three
years la like adding cash to a yearly
annuity.
One of the greatest wastes that com J
to most farms Is the feeding of hogs
carelessly In a small Inclosure year aft
er year and the droppings either ac
cumulate or are washed away. This
has been often one of the harassing
problems with us until we used luclo
sures near the straw yard and kept
them liberally supplied with straw.
A dozen' shotes confined In such an In
closure from December till March fully
demonstrated that It pays to get the
residuum In this way.
We have convinced ourselves that
where time Is money manure making
has not beeu time lost and also that
where It has been evenly mixed In the
composting we feel repaid for the labor
expended In doing so We II ml that a
barnyard properly located Is so essen
tial In successful manure making that
under no circumstances could we neg
lect the selection of a spot to conduct
our operations. This yard should be

The eelehinted case of Ttter versus
Utter, or peach grower versus beekeep.
tr, has been retried tiy a Jury, with a
Verdict In favor of the beekeeper.
A successful outcome Is reported to
the Connecticut experiments In grow
ing Kuniutra tobacco under shade. Co
der the direction of Expert Floyd
one-third of an acre of tobacco wa
I raised under a cheesecloth shade nine
feet high. It yielded 700 pounds of
cured tobacco, or an estimated yield of
I 2,100 pounds per acre, with a loss of 10
ptr cent during fermentation.
