C'l-IOOSING STOCKERS.

The prospects of continuing high

prices for beef will influence many young farmers to feed crops to cat- tle, and they can lay a food founda- tion for future profits by ibfelllgently selecting their feeders.

The ability to select stockers and

feeders which have within them the possibility pf making prime steers is one of the first and most important) lessons for the young stockman to learn. | Profits in steer-feeding come as

much from intelligent selection and purchase as from skill in feeding and

management. The importance of in-I teliigent selection and buying of stnckers and feeders of good qualltyl is realized when one considers the fact that it is seldom possible to produce, at a profit, gains which do not increase the value per pound cf the total weight 0! the animal.

backs. and long level rurups, says Farm Life. They should possess straight top and under lilies and should be low at the flanks, forming good depths and roomy barrels, but not pouchy, The general form should be low-set, deep, broad and com- pact rather than high, gaunt,| narrow and loosely-made. The flanks should he low and legs short; animals of this fsort almost in- variably pass as strong constitutions and are good feeders. lt shfluld be remembered that the stocker and feeder, thin in ilcshjand largely witn- out. internal or surface fat, affords the best possible opportunity of det- ermining tbe coverings of natural flesh char,acteri_etics.‘,ot tha.|_>,nime.l. , " Sec'|i're` asxiiuch snioothness of out- line as possible that is consistent with low flesh, beingespecinlly care- ful to avoid great prominence in hips, tail, head and shoulders. Avoid rough, open shoulders, sway bucks and long, coarse heads with small eyes; Short, broad heads and short, thick necks, indicate tendencies to- ward beef-making.

'A large prominent eye is to be de~

sired, as this denotes that the anim- al has a quiet disposition, which all| feeders know is so 'desirable in al steer intended for the feed lot. The, distance between the eycs and horn should be short and the horn should bc flat and of medium iineness. The lower jew should be heavily coated with muscle. The muzzle, lips and mouth sho ld be large, but not coarse. Thes desirable characteris- tics of beef f rm, quality and con-i stitution, should be discovered in well-bred grades of uny of the Iced- ing breeds. The _ young stockman should give more attention to the selection of the individual than to the breed.

Was there ever a more dlspiriting

prospect than aweedy, delapidatcd. r,un-down farm? As one drives through the country and passes by such a place, his estimate of the value of that locality suffers n decid- ed slump.

On such alarm the owner is usual-

ly as mangy looking as the lamd he calls his home. The farmer is lure that farming is not what it used to be. In that last statement is wrapped up the whole of such a farmer’s phil- osophy. “He is sure farming is not what if. used to bc." No. it certainly is not for him. The world has moved forward while he has slept. He has~ no part in the present day thought about farming. 1 He keeps a scrub bull, the bull may have a pedigree but is a scrub never-

DOES RIOHNESS OF

CREAM AFFECT MOISTURE

Much has been said and written in

the dairy press and in our text books on the effect of the richness of the cream on,the moisture con- tent of butter, and there appears to considerable confusion as to the-real importance of this one factor. The average American butter-maker holds that the richer thecream the more water will there be in butter. The Danish ,butter-maker, on the other hand, claims that thin cream _tends toward butter with higher moisture than rich cream.

EFFECT OF RICHNESS

OF CREAM

Nineteen churniukl. Wi“f°I`» 17 PW"

cent. to 2! per cent. fat in cream, 18.47 per cent. moisture- Ninerffen churnings, WiD£9r, 29 pe!

cent. to 30 per cent. fat in cream, 15.86 per cent. moisture.

Four churniugs, summer, 37 per

cent. to -18 per cent. fat in cream, 14.45 per cent. moisture.

Our own experimental results have

convinced us that this factor of rich- ness of cream has no import- ant bearing on the moisture content of butter. and that its effect, if there is any, is indirect only. ln one series of exper- iments made in summer, the butter from the richer cream contained less moisture, while in another series of experiments, made in winter, the hut- ter from the rich cream contained more moisture. These findings sug- gest that the moisture content of the finished butter is effected by this factor only in so far as it influences the condition of the butter for the working. Other conditions being equal, the richness of the cream in- fluences the length of time and ease of churning. This in turn may, or may not affect the firmness of the butter granules, according to the season of the year and temperature of the churn room. In a cold churn room the longer churning of thin cream tends to make firm granules.

The firmness of the butter granules

ailects the amount of water in the churn and the per cent. of water rc- tained on the working process unless the latter is controlled by the but- ter maker. Firm butter mixes with and holds water less readily than soft butter. - Attention is further called here to the fact that there is n limit of low temperature and thin‘cree.m that will vfeiluse 141.00 results- It frequently happens where thin cream is churned at a very low temperature, that the churning process is prolonged to such an extent as to partly destroy the ,grain of the butter, making 9, selvy body. In this condition the butter tends to take up and retain excessive moisture.

These findings also help to explain

why the results and opinions of dif- ferent investigators nnd huttermak- ers are at variance. It is evidence that these contradictorv conclusions were arrived at through the failure of Qie .butter maker on both sides or the Atlantic to take into careful con- sideration all the conditions under which their results were obtained.- New Zealand Farmer. ~

CULL THE OOWS.

Almost daily there comes to our

notice new cases where weighing milk and testing cows has ‘saved dol- lars to the dairymen. More particu- larly is this true of the man not specializing particularly in dairy catt1e,, but keeping a few cows for milk on 9. mixed farm. There are thousands upon thousands of men just so situated in Canada today, and thousands of them are keeping, one or more “boarder" cows which”

Generally speaking, there u`J_x_g

guod ieeson why a stallion should not be put to work nfter the Imeld- ing season is over. Buch tlreatlllillil insures regular feeding, grooming; offs ercise, and will give him the privil- ege of association with other hurled, writes a stallion owner in .'l‘he,Nor’- West Farmer. It will do away with the solitary confinement and ireegu- lar attention of which he is other- wise the recipient. If under ordinary conditions, at the

close of the breeding season, a stal- lion is pressed into regular service and accustomed to work gradually. he will be the better for it in the end. Association with other horses will then come to he a regulefoccur- icuce, und the obnoxious actions so common to stallions in harness will become less frequent. ' If conditions are such that a. stal-

lion cannot be worked, a large pad- dock offers the next. best opportunity for exercise. 'l‘he difficulty encoun- tered in such s method is that hors- es. particularly drafters, will not take enough exercise of their own free will.

Oats should constitute the basis of

the grain ration for stallions. The efficiency of the grain may, in many, cases, be increased by the addition of one-fifth or one-sixth bran. Roots of various sorts ure palatable and succulent and often improve the stal- 1ion's allowance. Barley has been vcry successfully used as a part of the grain ration. Some complaint has been made against the use of lin- sccd meal, and the writer would not advise its use, except in limited qua- ntities. Good sound bats with a small portion of bran make the belt

grain ration for Stallions.

Whatever hay is fed must be clean

and well cured. 'Timothy and clover, ii, xuujor portion of the former, have proven to be u very satisfactory hay. ration. Alfalfa in large quantities as :i stallion iced has been criticized, the obiection being that it lessens the ability of a stallion to “settle” his mares. Corn fodder has been found to be inefficient. It contains too much crude fibre. A safe basis upon which to prodced is to iced one pound of grain und one pound of hay per 100 ;-.ciumls of live weight. The amount rhoixlii be sufficient to keep the horse in :i vigorous and healthy condition, yet, not fat and l|\Zy.

To sum up the cardinal principles in the success of caring for ii stallion plsiity of good, clean food and' wa- ter. enough exercise and grooming. slung with u comfortable place to sb,-ep, will, uudcr ordinary conditions give very satisfactorily results.: ;:»

Aifcnlicn fo Horses Teefll

There are many horses of all ages

that arc not thriving Well, although consuming a reasonable amount of food, and their owners are at a lose to account for it, and often spend money in conditioifpowclers, stock food, etc., without result, The ani- mals do not show symptoms of ill- ness. but simply do not thrive, and have not thc spirits or energy they should have. The cause in the mn-

.iority of cuscs, will be found in the mouth, either there is faulty denti- t.ion or there are irregularities ofthe teeth. The subjects do not require medical treatment all that is needed is intelligent attention tothe teeth. We any “intelligent attention" as in many cases unskilled or ignorant in- terference does much more harm than good. It requires a man who thor- oughly understands ths anatomy of the mouth, and has the necessary in- struments aud skill to correct what- ever is wrong.
