THREE RULES FOR
MARKETING CATTLE

To market fat cattle to advantage
cattle feeders can do no better than
to follow three fundamental rules.
Slated briefly the three rules are
to avoid overloading the market,
to sell competitively and to fit cattle
to the market.
In following the first of these rules,
shipments will need to be adjusted
to the capacifv of the market to ab
sorb them. This will require care
ful team work between cattle feed
ers and sales agencies on the mar
kets.
To get the full strength of the
market, it is necessary to sell com
petitively on the open competitive
market, and to get the best avail
able sales service it is advisable to
sell through strong sales agencies.
By fitting cattle to the market, the
third rule laid down, is meant
watching them closely and selling
when they become fat enough to
sell to advantage.
The margin a feeder needs to car
ry cattle in summer—cattle that
could be sold in June but might be
held until September in anticipa
tion of a higher price—depends
largely upon the age of the cattle, it
is pointed out.
Calves can be held much better
than older cattle since they will
continue to make fairly economical
gains. Older cattle, however, if fat,
gain little if anything during hot
weather. Consequently, their entire
feed bill during the holding period
must be recovered by a higher sell
ing price.
It is believed that a price increase
of about 50 cents a month is need
ed in holding two-year-old steers in
summer.
Less is needed with
calves, especially on 50 cent com.
Use of Roost Poles for
Turkeys Is Recommended
When poults reach the age of ap
proximately ten weeks, and no long
er need artificial heat, they prefer
to roost in the open. At this time
they may be transferred from their
old brooding quarters to new range
where heavy roost poles have been
provided, says E. M. Funk, Mis
souri College of Agriculture.
A tier of roost poles made of 2 by
4 inch material laid sideways, and
spaced from 18 to 24 inches apart
on a platform of framing material
that is 4 to 6 feet high, makes satis
factory roosting quarters for the
turkeys. Posts are generally used
to support the timbers on which
roost poles are placed. Poultry
netting o. finely woven fencing wire
should be used over the roost poles
and around the sides of the roosting
platform, to keep the poults from
coming in contact with the drop
pings.
The same location for roosting
quarters may be used throughout
the summer and the turkeys driven
to and from their daily range. This
method of management will prevent
the use of range some distance from
where the turkeys roost. On many
farms it is desirable to have them
roost near the farmstead as a pro
tection against theft. Where there
is no danger of theft, roosting quar
ters may be changed at the time a
rotation of the range is made.
Kafir Corn, Milo Maize
Kafir corn normally grows about
5*,4 feet high and if fully developed
each stalk carries one head about
10 or 12 inches in length, three or
four inches in diameter and rather
loosely formed. Dwarf milo maize
grows four or five feet tall and de
velops a very compact head, slight
ly larger in diameter in the cen
ter but not as long as kafir and
rounded at the base and pointed at
the tip. The grain of kafir is white,
while that of the milo is reddish or
ange.
Care in Feeding Horses
Digestive disturbances are among
the most common ailments of
horses, and a large percentage of
these are caused by improper feed
ing, says F. H. Olvey of the Mis
souri college of agriculture. While
horses may be affected with diges
tive disturbances at any season of
the year, such troubles are more
prevalent in the spring and fall.
Feed should be of the best quality,
and all changes in feed, with a few
exceptions, should be made gradu
ally.
Keep Biddy Cool
Hens need assistance from Cock
owners during warm weather. The
hens have elaborate sets of air sacs
which communicate with the bronchi
and extend into many of the bones.
These may be regarded as acces
sory lungs and assist in regulating
