BEEF CATTLE IN OHIO. 
But few cattle feeders in southern 
central Ohio grow the cattle they fat¬ 
ten, but purchase them where fancy 
and prospect of greatest gain leads 
them. The hill counties of the southern 
part of the State furnish many cattle to 
be finished in the grain growing sec¬ 
tions. Then many feeders buy range 
steers in Chicago or other western mar¬ 
kets. These are mostly fed in small 
lots from a carload up to a hundred head 
or more. The kind of cattle a man 
handles is governed by his fancy and 
whether he will make a long or short 
feed. The cattle illustrated on page 783, 
Fig. 294, were bought as calves in the 
pan-handle section of Texas, sorting 
them from their dams and loading at 
once. They were 10 days on the road; 
57 were loaded, one lost on the way; 
supposed to weigh 250 pounds when 
they landed in C. P. Jamison’s feed lot 
in Ross Co., Ohio, November 15, 1909. 
A lot of 16 were sold to a neighbor. 
These were fattened and sold to a local 
butcher this Spring, leaving 40 head in 
Jamison’s care. 
The first Winter they were roughed 
through on fodder and mixed hay, 
clover in the main, with a little shelled 
corn. One of the number was killed by 
lightning and another fell and hurt 
himself so lie died, leaving 38 that 
were finished and sold May 12, 1911. 
They were not fed grain the second 
Winter till January 1. Up till that time 
they were kept improving by feeding 
fodder and first-class clover hay. Dur¬ 
ing the month of January they were 
brought up to full feed on corn. This 
was the small ears and nubbins as well 
as the damaged corn selected from the 
corn as cribbing was done. February 1 
they commenced feeding crushed corn; 
this they had till sold. In the barn was 
a quantity of No. 1 Alfalfa hay. The 
middle of April he commenced feeding 
this at noon in limited quantity, such as 
they would clean up. The daily plan 
after April 15 was to feed crushed corn 
and fodder in the morning, Alfalfa hay 
at noon, crushed corn and clover hay 
in the evening. Five bushels of this 
crushed corn was fed at a feed morning 
and evening. Another bushel would 
have been more than they would clean 
up. They were fed in the box rack in 
common use here for such purpose, had 
water at a spring branch in the feed 
lot, and could shelter in a barn and the 
sheds about it. They were engaged in 
advance at a price that proved to be 
about $1 above the market when weighed 
out of the feed lot. At time of delivery 
they weighed 960 pounds average, cost 
$18 per head, brought $60, returning 
$3.33 per month while in Mr. Jamison’s 
care. While fed grain hogs were fol¬ 
lowing them to clean up the indigested 
corn, balancing their ration with fodder 
and Alfalfa hay, thus adding much to 
the returns that can only be guessed at 
as to amount. John m. jamison.

the RURAE NEW-YORKER 
turn out for Fall springers. With hay at 
• t lo per ton and feed where it is. with the 
prospect of a low price for milk, the 
larmers are beginning to consider the ad- 
' inability of selling off their dairies and 
pressing their hay for market. At the 
present price of labor it costs about 60 
cents to produce a 40 quart can of liquid

The ice cream trade has reached the 
point ot importance where a “score card'' 
t? 1 •\ U ol gins has bocn devised. In bulle- 
H n r 1 “ft Ti. tbe Iowa Experiment Station 
Rrof. 31. Mortensen says: 
No contest has, so far, been conducted 
tor the ice cream makers. During the past 
year the writer has taken up judging of ice 
cream with our various dairy classes and the 
following score card has been prepared for 
that purpose: 
Flavor. 45 
Texture . 25 
Richness. 15 
Appearance. 10 
Color. 5 
Total. 10O” 
He goes on to classify these points. We 
know several people who would willingly 
judge ice cream right now. 
We deliver our milk to the local cream¬ 
ery at Upper Lisle; price for May 86 cents 
per 100. Last year it was $1.68 per 100. 
Everybody is complaining about the prices. 
We get the whey back for pigs. I would 
advise farmers here to have fewer cows and 
raise the feed for them instead of buying 
feed all the time. Eggs, 16 cents; caives, 
five to 5%. h. k.

Replying to your inquiry about $50 cows, 
I have eight young St. Lambert grades (not 
culls—entire dairy) that he can have and 
1 presume he can buy half the entire dairies 
in this section at that price, and if he will 
allow sellers to select a portion they would 
like to keep he can buy the remainder at 
$40 and less. I am told by buyers of $30 
and $35 for fresh young cows. ' e. a. h.

Others have paid good money to learn that

All milk produced in this vicinity goes 
into the Springfield market. There'are a 
few large dealers and many small ones, so 
that there is more freedom in selling than 
in larger places, as nearly all the dealers 
buy direct, and many farmers peddle their 
own product, thus getting 100 cents of the 
consumer’s dollar. The prices paid run 
from 3% to 4*4 cents per quart at the 
farm, according to the season, etc., four cents 
being the usual price, which will, in most 
cases, just about pa3 r the cost of producing 
the milk, leaving a very small margin of 
profit, if any. A few farmers who take 
extra care of their milk get extra pay. The 
retail prices range from seven to 10 cents, 
most of the milk being sold for eight cents. 
The health authorities in Springfield are 
more than ordinarily exacting, yet they are 
doing their best to secure fair prices for 
the producers, and are trying to educate 
the consumers to demand and pay for first- 
class milk. The city’s milk supply is con¬ 
sidered one of the very best. A co-operative 
milk association did a large business for sev¬ 
eral years, hut it came to be handled with 
too little regard for the interests of the pro¬ 
ducers, aud was disbanded last Fall. Cows 
are scarce and high, good ones bringing $80 
to $100 and up. Good help is also hard to 
pet. but the free State Employment Bureau 
Is much appreciated, especially for tempo¬ 
rary aid in baying, etc. Conditions here are 
probably better than the average and farm- 
ers are fairly prosperous. There are no 
abandoned’’ farms, and while there is some 
cap land, any good improved land sells for 
MOO or more per acre for agricultural nur- 
poses. C . r. b.

The New York Exchange price is $1.51 
per 40-quart can, netting three cents per 
quart to shippers in 26-ceut zone who have 
. no additional station charges. 
The town here is supplied with milk from 
small dairies at eight cents per quart. 
Two nearby creameries receive much of the 
milk produced by farmers keeping from 
two to 10 cows, and the price for butter 
fat ranges from 18 to 27 cents per pound, 
occasionally a few cents higher. No milk 
is handled here by dealers but a few farm¬ 
ers ship their cream direct to Indianapolis. 
Butter sold at the stores and to the packers 
bungs from 12 to 15 cents this season ; that 
which is supplied the year round to regular 
customers brings 25 and 30 cents. The 
poultry business is gaining interest. The 
general class of stock is improved aud 
fewer larmers keep a mixed flock. Some 
are turning their attention to fanev stock 
Earliest broilers brought 22 cents per 
pound this year; hens were 12% cents dur¬ 
ing early Spring, now 10%. Few turkeys 
or ducks are raised. 
Madison, Ind. j. A . s . 
After talking with several of the prom¬ 
inent dairymen in this locality, would re¬ 
port as follows: A part of the milk is 
shipped in liquid form to New York mar¬ 
kets, the remainder is being made into 
butter and cheese at the present time. 
During the Winter months all the milk is 
shipped to New York markets in liquid 
form. In June, 1910, milk was worth $1 
per 40 quart can ; wheat bran cost $20 nor 
ton. In June, 1911, milk sold for 74 
cents per 40 quart can; wheat bran cost 
$24 per ton. Barn inspectors are growing 
more exacting each year. Thev now take 
around with them a veterinary who has 
to do or say anything to hold his job. 
In many instances both have shown them¬ 
selves to be grossly incompetent. Cow 
dealers are only handling from hand to 
mouth when formerly they would buy and
