Making the Little Farm Pay By C. C. BOWSFIELD Production of meat animals and the development of beef herds as leading features in wixed farming are the big gest questions in agriculture today. All over America there is a strong tendency among farmers toward beef Production, and they are encournged in this wovement by high markets, the favorable attitude of buyers and a new economic situation. Profits ave move than ordinarily satisfactory, and there seems to be a certainty of continued high prices. This is a questlon which interests every landowner. The swmallest of farms, where there is any attempt to raise field crops, should have a few weat animals. Aside from the imwme «diate profits, American agriculture de- mands that the average farm shall men' No, 3s8? to pepsin, nearly $2,000,000. early as 877 B.

There are a number of striking points in the live stock situation. aud these include the need of producinz what is known as baby beef and the wisdom of quick marketing. In too many cases since the Euro- pean war started the extraordinary de- mand for beef has induced American farmers to hurry their meat animals to market in an immature condition. PacKers are paying the highest prices ever records + is, conse quent- | Iy, a tem ion to sell beef animals before they choprime condition. A few illustrations are at hand of farmers bei wbie to sell tinished cat- tle which have reached the weight of 1,000 to 1,400 pounds at the age ot one year. Jaby beef, speaking in round . figures, should not be under 1,000 ¥ pounds for the nverage, and witl rect feedi ed stock th no ditficulty whing this Calves have to be forced and must be handled with skill; otherwise there will be disappoint t. as conditions must be good to substantial success, A word about the cost of ralsing and feeding this class of stock may be en- While it is best to allow to run with their dams for three or four months, this method can be set aside where milk contracts will not permit of such feeding. In any case the use of whole milk I8 neces y at first, but gradually calves may be ac- customed to skimmilk in which has been plac v small portion of shorts or bran. They will thrive on this diet anl in a short time will be consuming considerable mill stuffs, grass and si- lage. To a great extent farmers may cut out western feeders and substitute do- [ mestic calves for the quick growlng { of marketable cattle. There is thus a large saving in the Initial cost, and a high guality of baby beef can be pro- % duced at an expense of about 4 cents “a pound, possibly a little less, and this allows for the original value of the A animal and the worth of feed and la- bor up to the time of marketing. The | ‘ plain and simple proposition of pro- [ o ducing a high quality of beef and real- izing a profit of 100 per cent Is not all A there is to this argument. Well select- ed young animals of the right breed { will grow their first thousand pounds of flesh more cheaply than an addi- tional 400 pounds can be put on in the second year. Therefore if an animal can be properly finished at a welght of 1,000 to 1,200 pounds in a year, so that it classes as topnotch beef, it I8 poor economy to carry it over for the pur- +' &F pose of getting additional weight. This second year’s growth will not show a very high rate of profit, because a Inr- ger proportion of grain and other ex- pensive feeds will be necessary. There will always be anlmals that do not come up to expectations in a year either as to size or quality of beef, and these may be carried over in line with old methods of feeding. It is almost \ needless to say to stock ralsers that < they can only produce satisfactory baby beef with well selected animals. 1 . The best of calves will grow tuto 1,000 __‘f pounds of cholce beef in a year, while the same animals are not llkely to put on more than 300 to 400 pounds the second year. Thus It is easy to see that the big profits are in furnishing baby beef, but my earnest advice is to diseard all inferior stock in going into this line of actlvity.
