Waterman, B.S.A. • Never before have cattle prieee, as well as many other meat products, reached so high a level itt the present time, and assuredly them is no room for doubt but that feeding will, at present, pay any cattleznan Who is linishing stock for the mar- ket Greater profits than were !pee- eible last year are within reach new, because meat products are as !etch as ever le price, and ,grain prices for Ouch as berleya etc., are much lower than they were during the war. How- ever, seat high %aloes are not per - aliment and 'menet be Minted on for it very great length of thane. It win be tvell for each ono to layeliie plans accordingly. The countriee of Europe wilich were engaged in the war are dependent on tide weary for many articles a diet, but once they get a mem off their own land, they will not feel the need so greatly, consequently the demands made on agriculture here will not be so groat. Tate will result In a low- ering foodstuft prices, and tive stock prices also, because it seems to holdatrue that the price of meats depends almost as much on whether there is a shortage or surplus et cer- eals, as on whether is an actual !short- age of meat products themselves, It is one thing, hotvever, to. say that prices for meats will decline, and another to prodiet when that tau -- don will occur, One thing is cer- tain, they will, not come down until feeds first drop in price, and thee gannet erop to normal until European and other countries Which are short have had another harvest of their ewe. Until then, countries with good crops such as ours, will have to sup - »1 y them. From this it would seem that prices will likely continue strong through the summer and to the end Of the year. After that prices are uncertain 'and will depend on future conditions and developfnente. The demands of the market of to- day require it different size of ani- mal than was in favor a number of years ago. In those days, both here ae web as in England, the heavy stuff was in favor and farmers fed to that end. In some cases, animate were fon* years old before they had attain- ed the required finish. To accom- plish such required to much expen- diture of labor and feed than would be profitable at present. Feeders know this by experience, and they ate gradually turning the younger stuff off at between two and three years of age. The reason for this is net only because it makes- easter feeding, but because the market -de- mands that weight of animal before the heavier stuff, and this is the case in England, as well as in our home market. The man who produces beet, makes much more by producing two-year-old beef 'than three and Sour -year-old, and he has learned this by experience in feeding operations. Mr. John Gardhouse, one of our prominent beef cattle breedera, laiU stras on this point when speaking some time ago at specia•1 farmers' meetings at Chat- ham. He said, that "if bred right and fed right, an animal should be ready for the block at two years of age," Thle, however, -would be Me possible when the feeder plata up calveof different grades of breed- ing, through the country, with the in- tention of feeding thane for beef, as the general rtizz ot animals are not Web enough, bred to develop into beef at such an early age. It takes an animal of good breeding to do it, and the only way to accoulDlish this and be sure of your product, is to • breed it yourself, and teed it from the time 'it taloa the first drop et !milk, Some may say that it can't • be done, and that the animal will be no larger than baloebeef, but it is ba - lite done by good cattlemen, who find ' that sank Is the best method to follow at the present time. However, la Order to ensure a steady growth and • development, the feeder must keep the calf flesh oe them, and keep them gaining from the time they are born until they aro ready for the block. Stich it method has several things, which recommend it to apy stockman. In the first place he can handle more eattle in it given time than when they aro kept tilt they are older. Telt& for instance, the man who can keep forty head ef battle. le he keeps the steers or feeders until they are three years old ha cafl carry only 10 cows, 10 yearlings, 10 two -year- olds and aq three -year-olds, 'while the man who finishes his steam at two years, can, on the same size of farm, keep 13 cows, 14 yearlings and 13 two -year-olds. 1 -le tan turn out three more eet carcases per year than the former. Not only this, but he can produce his beef more cheaply thaa the rirst man because, young cat- tle growing and .fattening at the same time, will make much potter use of food products than more mature ones, They will utilize protein rich foods, such as °health and alfalfa or clover hay, more efficiently, because they require the protein to make muscle as they grow, while the more mature ones will soon use hardly any of the protein fed to them. The gradual' fattening in this way also, while growth occurs, will result in a much ,higher quality of beef than when the animal is allowed to rough it for a year, and then fattened in a short 'space of time. The dressed careaseee in the f ormer case will show better marbled beef, which means Alder beef also, and as this is the kind that brings the premium price, it will naturally follow that the feed- er will realize a better price for ails stuff. The feeder of two -year-olds has still anther advantage in that lie can hold his cattle without losing money on them, if the market does not suit him, They will keep on growing, while the mature animal, when finished, is a losing proposi- tion if not marketed at once. Although grains are not nearly so high in price as they were a year ago, the feeder is wise who makes best uso of good roughage. One of tho best of these is summer pasture, as it has been proveu that eunamer gains made on pasture can be made more cheaply than is possible with -winter feeding. There are many cattle which though in fair condition at present, are uotsready for market. These can be finished on pasture dur- triubnal whicij orders the executions, • years of age, I It is said, Is a former locksmith, 22 WI of FREE tiny bodies of men and women and girls of the better classes have been found on the shores of Islands In the Danube below the city.

How to Know Hemlock. The occasional report in the papers of children or animals being- poison- ed by eating some umbelliterous plant emphasizes the importance of being able to distinguish the dangerous ones in the case of hemlock itself, the most poisonous of all, this is not difficult, Nolte& first the dark green, much cut and divided leaves and the peculiar seder which botanists call fetid. But pethaps the most obvioue thing and that which most easily distinguishoe the hemlock from all other unbellif- erotts plants is the stem.

It has been shown by anelYals that it is much richer in protein when immature than when cut for hay. This is only reason- able. It is nature's food • and she knows and supplies what is needed, Grass also contains plenty of ash and mineral matter for the building of bone. What is needed most then, as ,supplement for a fettening animal, is a food rich in carbohydrates, as these are estate! In that direetion. In the United States corn is the fav- orite, bath because of its composi- tion and because it can be obtained easily, At the present it is out of the question in ,Canada, as the price le too Web. We have a substitute in barley which has ale° given good results *when fed in this way. On account of its not being so palatable as some ether grates, it is well to add something else to it, and bran will be found to give satisfaction. If the feeder does not wish to- add grate during the earlier part of the fattening period, be -may oin•it it and give it during the last month, when he will findd, that ite use wilt benefit the cattle greatlY. Tito question of having good Pas- ture for the cattle during late sum- paer, must also be considered. It Will be well, therefore, to have a supplementary pasture unless the feeder has at his disposal a good etretch of pasture land, in which ease he may fare all right, Running wa- ter and plenty of shade are of un- told value in summer beef Making alse, as they add to the comfort of the animal. In .the production of beef at the present time, good breeding is of greater importance than ever before, because it takes a well-bred animal of a beef breed to make good beef at two years of age, The slogan of the beef producer, if he wishes to make a success of it, should be, "to breed right and then feed right." If he does this he will surely make a suc- cess of it, and it he does not he will surely make a. mess of it, as he, will soeu find out. —The Canadian ..Countrytnan.

For that reaeon the Ger- man peace delegation proposes that the. commission should start its delib- erations forthwith separately from all other questions.
