Obtaining Beef Cattle.— The aver¬ 
age milk prtxlucer who >v has a fine 
herd of dairy stock will look back a few 
years, and possibly a good many years, 
and try to figure out how long it has 
taken him to build up his present herd, 
constantly weeding out the poor ones and 
paying long prices for bulls and regis¬ 
tered cows, lie has also got the dairy 
farm so well imbedded in his mind that 
it v ill take him a little while to make 
the change into true beef form. I know 
ut no better way of doing this than for 
him to visit, whenever Possible, a good 
fat stock show, such as held at Chi¬ 
cago. It will be money wi invested. He 
will there see what a carload of finished 
teers or heifers looks like. In a great 
many cases the only fat cattle he has 
seen are some seven or eight-year-old 
■ xen. He has never been interested in 
!,eef; it has been milk from A to Z. It 
must always be borne in mind that prac- 
cotifincmont of. a .stall worries them and 
gives big knees, and in the case of steers 
always wet underneath, and it is of first 
importance to have them comfortable, 
dry and clean from start to finish. The 
pens are each 20 feet long and 12 feet 
wide, and between each pen is a barway 
of. slip r ils. so that you can change cat¬ 
tle from one pen to another, and when 
hauling out manure you can drive right 
through. Get a large puncheon and cut 
it in two, and one half makes a water 
trough for two pens to be filled with tap 
and hose. The trough is made of plank, 
with shallow divisions to prevent crowd¬ 
ing when feeding. When putting in this 
trough it is made to slide in onto a brace 
at each end. so that when the manure 
in the pen begins to get deep it can be 
drawn out and slipped into the brace at a 
higher level. At the end of the plank 
walk is the silo, at the other end the 
grain room. The plank walk is three 
feet above the pen floors so that by the 
end of feeding season with the pens full 
of manure the walk and the inside of feed¬ 
ing pens are about level. Overhead is the 
hay-loft, which is filled through large 
doors over the end of grain room. When 
Storing away tin- hay keep it at least 
aft.

PLAN OF FEEDING LOT. 
tically the whole of the Eastern sea¬ 
board States have for years been in the 
milk business, and that on that account 
it is almost impossible to find any herds 
nf purebred beef cattle. Everything has 
been sacrificed for true dairy type and 
if by chance the animal did not turn out 
well, we put her in good shape and 
traded her for a milker. I would not give 
a row of pins for the advice of the man 
who tells me the dairy herds are good 
beef cattle. Of course you may find an 
..dd animal that runs that way, but it is 
contrary to all the laws of breeding. A 
breed of cows that has been bred to milk 
type for years will not show calves that 
can compete with those whose parents 
has been true beef breeds. I have seen 
the Holstein, the Jersey, the Guernsey and 
the Ayrshire all entered as the greatest 
milk breeds of the world, and I have also 
seen the backers of the above breeds 
recommending them as good stock to 
raise beef steers from. Now this is mis¬ 
leading. To my mind beef is beef, milk 
is milk. I am not prejudiced one way or 
the other, but I have bad a life's experi¬ 
ence with milk and beef cattle, and I 
think each breed lias its own particular 
strong point. I have found the Aberdeen- 
Augus, the Hereford, the Shorthorn and 
the Devon all to be very excellent beefers 
and feeders, and my advice would be to 
any New England farmer who wanted to 
switch over from milk to beef to do either 
of two things. First, to visit Chicago 
and make a thorough study of the ways 
of selling as conducted there, principally 
with a view to forming the idea in your 
mind cf the ideal finished steer. Get 
your banker to give you a letter of intro¬ 
duction to some absolutely reliable dealer, 
and get him to buy you a carload of two- 
year-old feeders, or just whatever you 
want. If you have unlimited amounts 
of feed on hand you might also buy a 
carload of yearlings. The price will be 
high, very high, but it will never be 
lower. If you get a good dealer he will 
often be able to buy on an off day, when 
trade is slow and demand poor. Don’t 
be in a hurry. There are many absolutely 
reliable firms who do nothing else but 
buy and sell stock for men they have 
never seen. When you get your stock try 
to buy in the early Fall, before weather 
gets too cold for shipping. When they 
arrive home do not feed very much for 
a few days. I find cattle feed best in 
mall lots of six or eight in a pen. 
Feeding Pens.— I think it a mistake to 
tie a fattening animal up in a stall, es¬ 
pecially the western cattle, as they have 
lived in the open all their lives, and the 
three feet from sides of barn. This will 
give you ample room to throw the hay 
from top of mow into the hay racks 
in the pens, afterwards, going along and 
spreading it evenly in the racks. 
Feed And Bedding.— On the majority 
of farms the greatest shortage is suitable 
bedding, but if large supplies of swale 
hay could be obtained it makes excellent 
bedding and good to handle in manure. 
Bought straw has always the risk of weed 
seeds, but with large amounts of the 
very best manure excellent crops of oats 
should be raised. I cannot lay down 
any feeding tables, but I have found the 
following give excellent results: Silage, 
cottonseed, crushed oats, crushed barley, 
buckwheat meal, clover hay and oat straw 
if latter is bright and clean and during 
the last month of feeding boiled barley 
was fed once daily. It is needless to add
