" boardera"--eows that pay a very
low price for their food,leave no prof-

They should be detected and fed 'oil
for beef. Keeping a milk reeord is a
sure way to discover them. To the
breeder of mire bred stock of any of
the milking breeds, Jersey, Guernsey,
Ayrshire, Caatadian, or milking Short-
horn strains the daily milk record
should be quite as important as the
breeding record.' We venture the as-
sumption that in a very few years
every breed putting forwatd any
claims as a dairy- breed Will be mak-
ng a specialty of milk records.
The reasons are obvious. Beauty .(1,f

the belief that -the present high prices
of cattle Warrant the •advance • in the
retail prices • which have this' week
been ckeicled upon among the butehers,
Mr. William Levack said the butch-
ers cotild do no other than raise the
prices. " As a 'matter' of fact, • they
should. haVe, done so w.ecks ago, for
they •could not cut beef at the present -
prices and make motley. They. would
simply have to go out. of business,"
May Oci Higher Yet.
" The retailers were •just iti the

Por weeka we Went on selling beef at

have been getting eight and a half
Or nine cents, but We were each afraid

that 'cattle will go higher." .
High For Three Months..
Mr. Theo. Cravvford said : "Beef
will • be very high for the next three
months, I call at present see nothing
to prevent prices going higher. Prices
are high on the: other side from some
cause or other. / 'don't exactly know
whet ia the cause, Corn and feed gen-
erally high, apparently; and there
is a shortagt of fat tattle, . Their
buyert have therefore been coming
ewer here for sonic time past getting
all the rattle they could get hold of.
Then of cortege the, large shipntents of
our young stockers' to the other side
for the past year or two has had an
effect. So that it has come how that
ordinary butcher cattle, if they are
any. good at all, sell at five and five
and it half cents a pound and that
means ttine and nine and a half Cents
in the beef. Theft the wholesaler and
the retailer have to handle and- must
make it profit somewhere so that
cannot see Much less than twenty
