In spite of the important effect of
values at marketing time there are a
few factors that must be kept lu mind
by the cattle feeder, says the Iowa
Homestead. For Instance, steers of
poor quality that could under no cir
cumstances be made Into prime Ga
fcihed cattle should not be carried to a
high finish. The last hundred pounds
of gain required to make a steer prime
are the most expensive, and the in
crease in the selling price must be cor
respondingly . larger to secure profit

shrouded white figures were scattered
about the grounds, sitting on graves,
their bodies and beads covered by

from the additional finish. Obviously,
therefore, It will not be profitable ordi
narily to put on this high priced finish
when there Is every assurance that it
will not command a high price ln the
market On the other hand, on a well
bred steer this last hundred pounds
may make him a market topper, and
the result in this case may Justify the
high finish, though the latter part of
this may be made at a high cost
The relative supply and cost of grain
and roughage to be disposed of are
factors which should ln a measure de
termine the length of the feeding pe
riod. Cattle for short feeding are usu
ally In higher condition at the begin
nlng of the feeding period, and there
fore tbe proportion of grain to rough
age consumed is greater than with cat
tle fed for a longer period. Where
feeders wish to dispose of large quanti
ties of roughage the feeding period is
necessarily longer than when a larger
proportion of concentrates to roughage
is to be fed. In a general way, there
fore, it may be said that tbe low grade
steer should be used for a short feed
only, while In tbe case of the well bred,
fleshy steer a high finish will usually
bring the surest and largest profits.
In the case of tbe individual who
raises his own feeders and carries
them to a finish there is only one type
that can be bandied at a profit on high
priced landnamely, tue steer that in
herits fleshing tendenclea Such cattle
are the outcome of clearly defined
breed characteristics, having In color
and conformation the stamp of one of
tlie great beef breeds. It does not dis
count the sound doctrine which re
quires that corn belt farmers ral3e
only a good type of feeders to say that
when feeding cattle are put into the
feed lot from outside sources It Is, un
der certain circumstances, entirely prac
tical to use steers of rather inferior
grade If these are bought right and
brought to a nicely warmed up condi
tion on the cheaper sorts of feed raised
on corn belt farms.

The American Guernsey Cattla
club was the Srst organization of
its kind to establish an advanced
registry on the basis of a year's
production of butter fat No ani
mal of any age can get Into this
advanced register that does not pro
duce more than COO pounds of but
ter fat In one year. The average
of the thirty-five leading Guernseys
ln the 1912 list was over 707 pounds
of butter fat Not everybody can
own such cows because they do not
exist in sufficient numbers. Yeska
Sunburst, the Guernsey cow shown,
is one of the good ones. She Is own
ed by IX. O. Qriawold of Wisconsin.
Hog Mulch For Orchard.
A Michigan man uses bog mulch and
handles It very successfully. At least
be calls it a bog mulch. Ills land Is
not particularly good. He cultivates
ln tbe spring and seeds Canada field
peas, sometimes using a small quantity
of oats. When the peas are pretty
well formed be turns ln 200 bogs.
They do not touch the trees, and by
the use of movable fences be has been
able to switch them from one part of
the orchard to another until the entire
crop Is fed down. lie furnishes his
hogs with a little corn and then turns
them to market as a byproduct of bis

and albumen in the buttermilk con
tained ln the butter and so cause ran
cid or putrid butter.
Fermentation begun in cream does
not eease ln butter. It may go far
enough to break np the butter fata,
causing ill flavored butter.
Odors get Into the butter, or they
may get into the milk or cream and
then be imparted to the butter. The
greatest source of bad flavor is from
cream that has not been properly cared
for. Milk, cream or butter absorbs
odors if kept ln a fruit or vegetable
cellar or In a musty, 111 ventilated
room. Even musty wells or ill venti
lated caves impart peculiar flavors.
One of the moat common disagreeable
flavors Is known as "weedy." The
cause is laid to feed, but ln most cases
It Is due to rapidly growing organisms
which get into the cream from unclean
surroundings.
To prevent bad flavors in butter
great caro must be used in milking. In
handling the milk and cream and in
making the butter. Everything used
must be kept in a sanitary condition.
Milk in a clean, well ventilated burn,
using caro not to raise dust The
milker should wear while milking a
clean apron or a pair of overalls. Uten
sils, Including the separator, must be
washed and scalded after each milk
ing. Use milk utensils with no open
scams.
The milk must be removed from
the barn immediately after milking.
Cream will keep best If kept in a clean.
well ventilated room, preferably a
separate milk house. Warm and cold
cream should not be mixed.

8llng tho Silo With WaUr.
Hoard's Dairyman says that the best
way to seal a silo Is to put a consider
able quantity of water into tbe silo
after It Is filled with silage. This
way of sealing a silo was discovered
by accident a beavy rain on an un
covered silo furnishing the water seal.
It was feared that much silage would
be ruined by tbe water, but when the
owner began using tbe silagre he found
a very thin layer of silage rotted,
whereas before the rotted layer bad
been many times as thick. Now this
owner always seals bis silo by cover
ing tbe silage with water.

Directions For Curing and Smoking
According to a Famous Recip.
After the bogs have been killed and
the meat thoroughly cooled the fresh
surface Is sprinkled with flue saltpeter
until the meat Is white, says the Farm
Magazine in describing a good recipe
for curing bams. About three or four
pounds of saltpeter are nsed to 1,000
pounds of bams. Fine salt la then
rubbed over the entire surface, and
the hams are packed ln bulk net
deeper than three feet.
In ordinary weather they should re
main thus for eeieral days, at least
three. Then break the bulk and re
mit with fine salt and again rack.
Each ham should remain ln bulk at
least one day for each pound of
weight The bams are then hung op
and gradually smoked for thirty or
forty days with hickory or red oak
bsrk.
When the smoking Is complete they
should be repeppered and placed la
canvas bags to guard against vermin.
Tho hams cured as indicated improve
with age, and are considered about
