'"The demand for real has increased rapidly, and not only are the surplus dairy calves slaughtered but thousands of beef calves as well, until a calf will now sell for from 88 to $18 when only 2 to 3 months old." This quotation from Farmers* Bulletin 688 of the C. S. Department of -Agriculture means that unless the farmer has unlimited cheap feeds, It Is usually more profitable to market the dairy or dual-purpose calves than to attempt to raise them, even though some of them might make good steers. While many deplore this heavy slaughter ofca)ves, and legislation against it has been urged, the consumer's demand must be met. While the number of cattle has | decreased, the demand for meat has naturally grown until not only have the exports nearly ceased, but the packers that they may provide cheap er meat are now buying many cattle thai ewre formerly fed. They formerly bought nearly finished cattle as feeders have been compelled to Higher prices for such cattle or to take thinner animals. The cattle feeding business has changed greatly during reoent years Formerly steers from four to fix years of age were fed in large numcommercial feed a^t yards near granaries or mills, or upon larg? farms where only the roughage vu grown and the cattle were kept on full feed for six months or longer, Tihs method ecame too expensive, so feeding is now conducted upou farms as a means of marketing farm products by converting them into beef, while the manure produced Is utilised as a by product for maintaining fertility. blocIMi completed 1 THEJAILROID Washington, D.
