A graceful and since famous tribute was paid to man's best friend, the dog, by the late Senator Geo. G. Vest, in Missouri during tile law -suit in 1869 over the killing of "Old Drum," a famous dog "who never lied". It ran as follows: 'Gentlemen of the Jury: The best friend wman has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care mity prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest to us. those whom we trust with our happiness, and our good name. may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has he may loge. It flies away from him. perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill considered action. The people who tire prone to fall on their ; knees to do us honor when success is: with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.

Farmers Should (40 Carefully in Se- lectieg Their Feeders. Finished cattle are a good price in Ontario at the present time. Choice steers haye been selling for over $8 and good: light butchers are in strong demand. Stockers and feeders are coming in freely, but practically all the animals are going to the States. Ontario farmers seem shy about fill- ing their stables with young cattle. The reason for this is not hard to find. Last fall cattle were selling for a good price, feeders, although high, were taken up readily by tee loeal trade. Feed went hp and cattle went down. Many farmers sold their fin- ished beeves for less money per hun- dredweight than they bad pald for them as ear1ings. This year men aro wondering whether the feeders tbey buy at $6 to a7 will be worth any More when they are fattened. Feeding cattle is a problem on which a geed deal of serious study is needed, Must Have a Fair "Spread." "The whole question of loss or gain in buying up stock for feeding," said Professor George E. Day of the On- tario Agricultural College, "depends on. the 'spread.' That is the differ- ence between the price ot the feeder per hundredweight and the finished animal. Years ago we were able to buy good feeders for about 84, and after keeping them for a few months turn them off for $7. There was no risk in that. Now it is different; we must make our profits on one-half to a cent and a half spread. If we get below that former figura the chalices are we are losing. "A business of this kind needs the most careful •nanagement. Follow the market, not only this year, but go hack three or four years. Try and 'figure out whether cattle will be worth any more in the spring. Of course no one can tell just how the market is going to swing, but by fol- lowing it closely you can get a gen- eral idea. Watch the export trade which demands heavy cattle. Note the comparisons c t receipts with previous years at ,no different cities. "The actual buying of the steers, of course, is very important. Fix in your mind what kind of a finished animal you want, and then go out to buy up your cattle, There is a great deal of difficulty in getting breedy steers of good quality and the price is usually high. If we are feeding for export demand then feeders weighing ten to.eleven hundred are what we want. If, on the other hand, the cattle are for local consumption we want ligeter stuff. "Many people thieak that you can fatten a steer for about five cents a pound. This is a great mistake. It usually costs more than the market price for live meat to finish any ani- ma/. We found by experiment that it cost us over ten cents a pound to bring our feeders up from eleven to fourteen hundred pounds. They were fed on hay, silage, and meal, valued at average market prices. "For instance, take a steer weigh- ing 1,000 pounds. We pay six cents for him, or a total of $60. When he Is ready to be tuned off he weighs 300 pounds more. The fattening, at 10 cents, has cost us $30. The finish- ed animal sells for, say, 8 eents. Therefore, for the original carcass We get (8 x 1,000) $80. That is a gain of $20. On the 300 pounds of fat we realize only $24, but at 10 cents it cost us $30, therefore, we lose $6 for fattening. Subtract this amount from $20, and the net gain on the whole animal is $14. The spread in this case is large (two cents) -much larger than usual. From the above figures you see how important the spread is. We lose on the actual fattening of the animal. Our, gain comes from the increased value of the original carcass after we cover it with fat. The feeds in all cases are ;valued at $12 for hay, $3 for etsilage, and $25 for meal and grain'-( eae-aegies per ton). Farm Feed Wagon. Here is an excellent wagon for feed hauling.
