For beef production there are the
Shorthorn, Hereford and Aberdeen An
gnn cattle, which are moat generally
knows. , Tbeee breeds bar been de

ever a herd has mnch of the Wood of
ither of these breeds In tt the type of
food feeder Is generally found.
Shorthorns are food lot and stall
feeders. They make rapid sains and
show fairly food dressinf percentage.
Thay are a little Inclined to be legs?
and upstanding, which Is against tbem.
bat they are quick to adapt themaeires
to say changes and enrlronmenta.
The Hereford as meat producers
hare sigh rank. These cattle bare
soads marked lmprOTemeat wlthia tit
last twenty-fire years. The breed is
criticised for hartng an eiceas of
throa tineas, dewlap and lark of derrf
pment of ramp and hind quarter. The
Hereford steer Is noted as as exediect
gracing animal and In this respect has
no equal. Herefords mature mnch
anora rapidly than Shorthorns and are
an orb ta faror for the prodortioa of
the so csJled "baby beef."
In the show ring the Aberdeen Asgos
steer has made a remarkable record.
Is'e other breed has made toe a rec

What Beef Men Think of Silage.
The success sttendlng the use of
flags to the dairy business has created
mack Interest among beef cattle men.
Silage faraisbee a succulent food.
which la quit essential to the dairy
tow la keeping her dlgestire system In
food condition The same will be
found area for tbs beef animal. Twen
ty poands of silage per day will supply
all the bulk snd water needed In a
fattening ration. The other roughage
may consist of either long fodder or
mixed hay. The economy of using
ilage for fattening purposes Is well
brought oat by Professor A. M. Boule
f the Virginia station,. who has stated
tb following conclusions:
There wss a difference of from Z
to A of a pound of grain per bead per
'day la faror of tli allugs fed cattle.
They also, finished out better and In
any dlserlmlnsUng market would cer
tainly bring a better pries than the
dry fed csttis.
"Of tb three forms of roughage fed,
fesnllag waa eaten with the greatest
ssush, and there was absolutely no
toss, wbsrsas with tbs storer the loss
amounted to 13.5 per cent and with bay
4.18 per cent Where a targe number
of animals are fed this would make a
ansldarabls difference In the cost of
raatoa, except that tb shredded storer
an be utilised to advantage for bed
lag." SUage as It hi put up today Is better
than when tb practice waa flrat start
ad. Good stlsge of corn Is made when
the grain hat passed tbs mlk stage and

Ths Famous Scotch Beef.
Scotch beef is not produced in any
locx.:srj ee connoted to any one class
of farmers, bet a produced on practi
cally aS fanaa, large and small, with
in the honndariea of Scotland. Tbe
nnmser ef cattie fed by aa Individual
Is not nsnaKy so large as in America
and depends upon the amount of rongh-
age and roots available.
la former years many of tbe north
ef Scotland cattie feeders ia fattening
three-year-old and four-year-oid cattle
fed nothing but straw and swedes.
This method of feeding does not now
pre van to tbe same extent as tbe tend
ency on every hand la to market ani
mals st sn earlier age, and grain and
cak hare been added to the rations.
Feed Value ef Soft Corn.
A majority of our farmers hare to
face the problem of how to most prof
itably dispose of a crop of soft corn.
If It is Terr soft, the ears will freeze
up hard daring the winter and next
spring will either be rotten or soared,
in either case not verj valuable for
feeding purposes.
Several years sgo we had a little ex
perience along this line. We fed tbe
entire field to cattle in the form of
shock corn. Before the hard freezes
came on the bunch made as good gsins
upon the soft ears as they did upon
tbe fully matured ones. But when tbe
cold weather came the ears froze up
and became solid, and the steers ate
only tbe fodder and the husks, tearing
the ears, which could not be eaten. Of
course the gains did not come. When
tbe ears thawed out they had no food

Beef Cattle at a Profit.
Good cattie can be fed at a profit and
higher prices can be obtained for cot
tonseed products, corn and hay by
feeding the same to a good type of
beef cattle than by selling In a cash
market and at the same time the fer
tilizer material may be retained on the
farm to Increase the productiveness of
the soil. A. Smith, Mlsslstippl.

Up Against It.
Feeding hogs economically with high
priced food Is what every fit-iHtr of
swine Is up against this k.-usihi. it
will not sccomplish the desired result
to cut down their rntluus or feed Just
enough to maintain eslHlcnc. Thcv
must be fed enough to make n dally
gain or there will be no profit In your
winters work. Tor the past ninety
days we have fed with success the fol
lowing rations twice each day, udilns
the evening feed every morning sud
the morning feed each evetilng. thus
letting It soak twelve to fourteen hours.
YVs prefer to mix with hot water, but
If not convenient we use cold water.
Into a thirty-two gallon cask we put
six pounds old process ollnieal. ten
pounds of wheat middlings, twenty
pounds of cornmesl, three pounds of
sslt. Mix thoroughly and fill cask full
of water. This feeds forty bead, aver
age weight 100 pounds, at a cost of 1U
csnta per bead per feed, or 2M cents
per head per day. Driving them over
th scales each week abows a dally
gain of eight to twenty ounces per pig
per dsy. At noon we feed about 200
pounds of refuse csbbsgs. Would feed
alfalfa at noon if we had It Persons
having milk to mix with the above ra
tio eaa make a more satisfactory gain.
