IS YOUR MONEY
OUT OF WORK?
If you yourself were out of work—
not making any money, you’d
consider yourself something of a
failure, wouldn’t you? By the
same token—MONEY should be
working, too, making more money
and making it safely.

The only sure thing about the
cattle market these days is that
you have to put on cheap gains
to come out.
In the words of the experts,
who could be wrong, (we hope)
the beef market runs in cycles.
There is no doubt that the peak
has been passed. Forty cent
feeders were a risky proposition,
in fact they were twice as risky
as a 20-cent one.
One young farmer, a veteran,
.perhaps has what we think is
the right idea. On the advice of
an older friend, . who has been
doing it for years, he is striving
to grow what he feeds and feed
wfiat lie grows. In other words
he hopes to walk all his crop
off the farm on the hoof. He
states that if things really go
bad, he is only going to take a
lower wage not a serious crip
pling financial loss.
On the other hand, there is
the established farmer who for
years has made a practise of
buying feeders in the fall. This
man for the past five years has
made a killing. One farmer
bought cattle for 12<f and sold
them 18 months later for around
35tf. This man, if he has not
spent the money for luxuries,
has a spread of 17on his feed
ers to be absorbed before he has
sustained any capital loss.
Many farmers are considering
a grass program due to labour
shortage. While it is an easy way
to harvest the crop, they would
be doing nothing but aggravate
a condition already serious
enough. They would be buying-
on a supply and demand market
bidding against one another for
feeders but when they have a
finished product would be com
peting for a market just that
much more amply supplied.
(Cattle numbers in Canada and
U.S.A, are at an all time high).
Every good cattle feeder has
his own ’’system”. And this year
■—again- -it is going to be the
low-cost, least-risk system that
will let him either get out
quickly or go full-speed ahead
according to the market.
Good feeders say, though, that
whatever system you use should
depend on the kind, quality, and
amount of feed you have; the
equipment yoii own or is avail
able and the labour on hand;
and the system should fit with
your long time farming program.
The old time way of roughing
for two winters is out. The con
sumer does not demand or want
the heavy beef. The top weight
today for finished cattle is an
1100 lb. steer. Whether you
finish in the stable or on the
pasture is what to decide,—but
don’t go over that weight—big
steers are a drug on the market.
One suggested safe way is to
buy good quality steers around
400-500 lbs. The trick is to
cheapen the cost of the fall pur
chased calves five to ten cents a
pound by the time they are
yearlings to feed out. Here’s how
to do it:
1. Get them t lirough the
winter on as little grain as
possible. Feed them high quality
roughage. Feed just enough
grain to keep the calves growing
at a rate of % pound a day. If
you bring them through the
winter cheap enough, you can
even sell at a lower price per
hundred and get your money
back.
2. Get most, or all, of your
gains the next summer on pas
ture.
After you practically double
your weight of the calves on

winter forage and summer pas
ture you ean either:
Ship on the fall market, with
or without graining, or
Feed for the winter market.
The light wintering is the key.
Put on too much gain during the
winter and you’ve committed
yourself to more grain feeding
on pasture or else taking less
gain during the summer. Your
costs will be higher and you
can’t get out easily. The experts
don’t agree as to how much gain
to put on during the winter.
They agree, though, that the
less gain you put on—without
stunting them—the more weight
you’ll get from the summer
grass.
Good grass, kept good, will
make a man just as much beef
money per acre as beets or an
other cash crop. Besides, it ties
the soil down and builds it up at
the same time if over grazing
is not practiced and adequate
plant food is applied.

to test features that help you do your
work better, quicker and at less cost.
To get work done, farming now relies largely upon mechanical
equipment. Manpower is scarce and costly and mechanization has
been-the answer to the farm help problem. Never before has it
been possible for a man to do so much, so easily, and so quickly as
it is today with up-to-date tractors and power equipment.
That Massey-Harris machines may offer the latest features and
advantages in design and construction, research engineers test
them by modem stress analysis devices and days and days of
operation on the Massey-Harris test track—the first modem
full-scale test track for power farming machinery.

Ji was Frank. Wayland, a sales-manager I met last winter, who put me onto Monarch.
He drives one himself and likes it so well he’s always talking Monarch io hii
friends. He persuaded me to ask my dealer for a demonstration, and now that I’m.
driving my own Monarch I appreciate what a hig favour he did me. This is the kind of
car I’ve always wanted to drive. I suppose it’s only natural to feel a kind of pride
in owning something as luxurious-looking as a Monarch—but there’s more to it than
that. If you haven’t driven a V-S before, it’s quite an experience to feel this kind
of power. It’s so smooth you don’t really know’ it’s there—until you want it in a
hurry. Then there’s no doubt about it. Must remember to drop a line to Frank
Wayland and tell him how right he was about Monarch. A sales-manager sold me—
but the car itself is keeping me sold. You could have this experience, too . . .
your Monarch dealer for a demonstration today.
