Feeding Beef Cattle in New York 
These questions were addressed to E. 
II. I’aitorson, who recently wrote of his 
experience with beef cattlei 
“My location is in Otsego County. 
X. Y.. where 1 can obtain ail kinds of 
good pasturage at $6 per acre. In fact. I 
had just returned from looking at some 
in dune to see what kind of feed the land 
produced. It is great. 
_ “My plan was to get the stock in the 
Fall, give (hem ns good wintering as dairy 
animals get. and turn them into this pas¬ 
turage to fatten all Summer at their 
leisure. Owing to the death of old peo¬ 
ple. and the desertion of farms by the 
younger generation, much land in our 
country is practically idle. Scarcity of 
hofli contributes a share to this result. 
Xew York City would he our market. 
‘‘What do you. who have gone through 
it once, think of this pasturage plan, as 
against Winter feeding?” c. f. r. 
First, you cannot liuish cattle on New 
York grass to a point where they will 
command worth-while prices as beef from 
killers. 
In some pa i ts of our own West and 
considerable of Western Canada, there 
is grass that will fatten cattle in fine 
shape. Our grass here will not do it. 
The only chance yon have of going in 
the market off grass is to winter stock 
on roughage and get them on good, strong 
pasture for about six weeks to two months 
iu the Spring. You then will not have 
a great lot of feed in them, and can af¬ 
ford to sell, as you would have to, two 
to three cents under finished cattle 
prices. 
If you did not wish to feed you might 
put in cattle of suitable age with* the idea 
of carrying them along and selling for 
feeders. This way you could use up 
grass and roughage. 
If you had a lot of pasture and did not 
wish to winter cattle, you could pasture 
feed, using corn and cottonseed, feeding 
to finish out. about the time the grass 
gave out. This would be the only way 
you could put cattle in prime shape off 
grass. 
If you are prepared to wait to make 
a profit, the putting in of cows of a beef 
breed with a purebred bull of Hereford or 
Shorthorn blood. I think, would in time 
make very good profits. 
M e have learned that to make money 
from beef cattle they must be well fin¬ 
ished and must be well-bred. Don’t under 
any circumstances put in anything but 
well-bred stuff. E. n p.

Some Remarks on the Milk Situation 
I would like to say that Mr. Morse, on 
page Si’!, defeated his own argument 
Against the two Russians who came in 
this i•mintry with their sole possessions 
on their backs and in a couple of pillow 
eases. lie stated that in less than 10 
years they owned a Iftft-aere home free 
from debt, which plainly refutes his logic. 
It follows conclusively that these two 
Russians were at least intelligent busi¬ 
ness men and good managers, or they 
could not have done this. I have noticed 
that many of the old settlers, we who 
have had our farms and starts from our 
fathers and grandfathers, are either be¬ 
ing forced bankrupt, or because we are 
financially well fixed or have got. credit, 
we can hold our business together. I 
gather that the Russians at least do their 
own reasoning, which seems very difficult 
for a mass of the farmers to do. I have 
noticed that a great many of them are 
taken in by a smooth tongue and a set of 
figures (apparently beyond their compre¬ 
hension I . If I should have to decide I 
would say the greatest fault of the farmer 
is simply letting some one else do his 
thinking. You may police the one who 
does the thinking usually gets the 
“boodle," while the farmer plods wearily 
through his endless twice eight-hour day. 
Let me suggest to Mr. Morse that if 
he will take notice he will find the 
majority of those who oppose this rule 
of 34 over twice that many thousand are 
men who have a habit of thinking for 
themselves. They certainly do not be¬ 
long to a class that goes with (he docility 
of a sheep Into the nets of those who 
study up elaborate schemes to get the 
Farmer’s money. I was much interested 
in a correspondence in farmer’s forum in 
Xew York World. One "Leaguer,” de¬ 
fending themselves, boasted that the 
beads of the present Dairymen’s League, 
Inc,, Do,, were former heads of large milk 
companies, such as Borden’s and the In¬ 
ternational. The answer was curt and 
something like Ibis. Could it be possible 
that this has any significance in the very 
friendly and co-operative spirit Itorden’s 
and the League are expressing for each 
Other? 
I feel sure the idea of pooling is gener¬ 
ally approved by all dairymen. The man¬ 
ner iu which it is done causes the breach. 
It seems to me as a monster milk com-

pany the League buys its milk as cheaply 
as possible and sells its products as high 
as it can. 'Wo have heard our fathers 
and grandfather.- tell of the days when 
they shipped milk to Xew York for $L

There is no vise talking. We must get 
together some time. And il seems to me 
a great pity to wait until the dairy busi¬ 
ness is a complete wreck. The consumer 
is nol getting the benefit of our troubles, 
but I lie dealers are. We are going to

Butter Fails to Gather 
I am desirous of some help regarding 
butter-making. Out’ cow is Jersey-Guern¬ 
sey. Fso a small dash churn, also glass 
churn. The trouble is hul lev does not 
gather. It is in small particles all 
through the milk, but will not come to¬ 
gether. I have temperature (50 to 64. 
Iilma, X. Y. F. t, s. 
You do not make mention the age 
of the cow. the time in the period of her 
lactation or the feed being given her, all 
of which may have a decided bearing on 
churning. Aliy one of these may be caus¬ 
ing ihe difficulty which you are exper¬ 
iencing. The most important factors in¬ 
fluencing churning may be listed and 
their study be of value to you in this 
particular case. These factors are the 
percentage of fat in cream, the tempera¬ 
ture of (lie cream, the fullness and speed 
of the churn. Cream should test between 
30 and 40 per cent for best results. 
At this time of the year the tempera¬ 
ture of the cream should be At5 to AS 
degrees Fahrenheit, and the cream should 
be held at Ibis temperature for at least 
two hours before churning. The churn 
should bo filled from one-third to one-half 
full. The speed of the churn should be 
such as to give greatest agitation possible. 
If you are making sour cream butter it 
might be desirable to add no fresh cream 
to ilic supply less than 2 I hours before 
churning. j. w, n. 
Bradford County Milking Shorthorn 
Association Sale 
The fourth annual sale of the Brad¬ 
ford County Milking Shorthorn Associa¬ 
tion was held in the new sale pavilion at 
Troy. Pa., June 3. Although it was a 
rainy day. the pavilion was tilled to its 
capacity. While it was very ably man¬ 
aged by County Agent D. K. Sloan, I be 
presence of the late L. D. May in tile ring 
was missed by all of the regular attend¬ 
ants of these sales, and many thought it 
had much to do with the prevailing low 
prices. The 71 animals sold averaged 
$300. The demand for herd bulls was 
good. Frank Moore of Troy paid $1,500 
for Glensides Royal Coin XN2I534. Don¬ 
ald Woodward of Leroy. X. Y„ got Glcn- 
side Record 100NS06 for SSOO. The high 
female was Lucy Cranford, which brought 
$S2A. and was secured by Mr, Loner of 
Grange Co.. X. Y„ who secured 13 head, 
many of them the best sold. L. R. Mao- 
Cauley of Montreal. Quebec, secured one 
of the best bargains of the sale in Glen- 
side Rose Clay, a very attractive looking 
red that as a junior yearling produced 
$.201 lbs. milk and 3.37 lbs. biitterfat. 
Her dam, Mabel’s Jo.v, made 12.37A lbs. 
milk. A2A lbs. biitterfat in one year. 'The 
dam of her sire made 16.201 lbs. milk. 
A7A Mis. biitterfat in one year. There 
were a lot of good bargains in cows and 
young heifers, many of them going to es¬ 
tablish new herds. One breeder remarked 
that while the ruling prices seemed low, 
he did not know of anything that would 
give a farmer any better returns for his 
efforts than breeding dairy Shorthorns, 
as one is sure of a good profit from his 
dairy, and the young stock is sure to sell 
nt a fair margin above actual cost of 
production. If care was taken in keeping 
correct records of the production of the 
cows, many times Hie young stock would 
sell for a much larger price than the 
mere cost of production, a. it. prince. 
I note on page 04$ a picture of a 
spotted sow and her litter sent by Henry 
Field. Some sow! But we have a Dnroe- 
.Terse.v purebred sow. "Fannie.” (lift! we 
picked out of a herd of 2A or 30 for a 
brood sow. At 11 B> months she farrowed 
16 nice pigs; then at Is months she far¬ 
rowed 16 other good pigs, and is due to 
farrow again in September. If she does 
as well next time she will at two years 
of age have raised herself, nearly 500 
lbs. now. and produced IN of her own 
kind purebred Duroo.Terseys. Can you 
pick out from 3ft one that will do better?
