PICKARD IT LOOKS as if tin* Republicans must go before the. country in the Presidential, campaign with a tax re duction law mainly of Democratic fashioning. This if the changes in the hoii-c measure made by the seriate are sustained in conference and if the bill is not vetoed by Mr. Coolidge. The Democrats then would have gained one of the Mg political advantages for whh h they have been striving. With the aid of the radical Re publican senators and the two Farmer Laborltes, the Democrats in the serr ate last week forced the acceptance of the Simmons substitute tax bill by the committee of the whole, in place Of tiie Mellon plan. It fixes the surtax maximum at 40 per cent, and the nor mal tax rates at 2 per cent on net hi- voine up to $4,000. 4 per cent between $4,ooo jmd $s,ooo, niiil t* per cent above $s.ooo. : ~ ' .

Where once tlu* whole operation of breeding the.cows and raising the calves, grow-, ifla-Tljen) on. pasture and roughage to tli.e feeder age and then fattening them for the market, was car ried on at -tie. font licit farm, it has been gminally* becoming more and more impractical to keep of cows to raise halves and to tbus grow their own, supply of feeders. Not more than a score of years ago there was an abundance of pasture and land was comparatively cheap. Today practically all land cape-ble of being tilled is used for crop production. The rnbring -■of-cattle! primarily -for—faHvn- lug as beef bus been giving way to the production of pure breds.fpr breed ing stock. Disposes of Corn Crop. The fattening of steers, however, af fords one of the most practical ways of 'disposing of tiie corn crop and of the many roughages produced on tiie average corn belt farm, and most of the fat cattle are still supplied by tiie corn belt. Instead of growing tiie feeders on the farm where they are to be fattened, however, there is; an increasing tendency on tiie part of cattle feeders to purchase their feeder supply direct from the range which Is more adapted to raising and grow ing calves to tiie feeder age than to fattening them. The range cattlemen are realizing the situation attempting to produce a high of feeder cattle. The corn belt cuttle feeders, with an abundance of fatten ing feeds and limited pasture areas, see where they ran better afford to purchase feeders from the range area than to raise them on land which is suitable for crop production. Organizations of breeders^are being formed In many sections of tlu* coun try for (he purpose of assembling- sev eral droves of feeder cattle and sell ing them at auction Sales of this kind are usually extensively adver tised in order to get a large number of buyers to attend. Buying direct eliminates marketing expenses at the live stock markets and insures against "stale” cattle, that is, cuttle held at tiie markets for several davs. Buying at the large live slock markets is pre ferred by many feeders, because there may be a saving of time, and there Is the possibility of buying on a "glut ted” market, yvhioh usually results in much, lower prices. When tin* receipts are normal, however, there is usually considerable competition, resulting In a price considerably higher than the raqge price. Buying and selling ability plays as Important a part as skillful feeding in tiie successful hupdling of feeder cat tle. Successful feeders study market conditions. In some seasons certain weights and classes of cattle may be j purchased more economically than oth ers. The rattle feeder should study ! the demands of the market for cer tain seasons and feed the kind of cat tle tliat will be hi demand when they are ready for market. Objects In Fattening. F The primary objects in fattening steers are to utilize roughages for I which there is little demand, to keep tiie soil in ,n high state of productiv ity by feeding the crop's on Tiie farm and returning the manure toM'he land, and to,increase the income from farm operations. The fattening of cattle throughout tiie corn belt urea is of two types—dry-lot fattening and fat tening on grass. Most cattle fattened in the corn belt are dry-lot fed and are marketed before July 1. Very few cattle Ted heiivily on grain dur ing the winter and spring months are ever put on grass the following sum mer. In some sections of Missouri feeders purchased '“in the fall are "roughed" through the winter largely on cornstalk fields, straws, hays,-stover and silage In the spring the* cattle are turned on grass and fed a half- grain ration. Uuttle handled in tills way usually aro** marketed before Seje tember 1. There are various Tatllons used In dry-lot feeding, tint two conibinationtr of feeds stand out rather proujinent- ly. In those areas where legpme hay, such as clover and alfalfa, is produced abundantly, the standard ration is corn and bay. In other areas-“w+rere leg umes are less thrifty, silage and pro tein meal, such as cottonseed or lln- _seed, are fed In combination with corn and a mixed hay. Available Rough Land. * High-priced land suitable for grain production in tiie corn licit area cqn hardly be profitably kept for pasture for tiie production of beef for tiie market^ However, ttiere_ are many farms having rough bind that can be they can be kept In a healthy, thrifty condition during the winter month* they will do better on grass the fob lowing summer than if heavily grain fed during the winter. Where pasture Is available there are three practical methods of fattening cattle son grass, naniely, grass alone, grass and additional feed throughout the entire feeding period, and grass with additional feed the last few months of tiie feeding period. Tiie grass season is usually from May to Ndvember, inclusive, which Is approx- Inlately 210 days. Two acres of good pasture are usually allowed pdr ani mal. After September tiie- average pasture begins t** decrease in value very rapidly, and cattle should be maf- l ke.ted at this time or given additional Teed. Prevailing’'‘jirices of .corn and comtentrales, tiie type of pasture, and tip* quality pf cattle should largely T derrirmine the supplement to pasture, | which, might'be corn alone, corn with iI't'is l ,r,, J ,! *' r ' s 'ipplement,'or the protein sup- " ' ' [dement by itself. Where grass alone Is depended upon, from four to five months of grazing wINl usually give l^est results, beeuuse pastures are at their best from June to October. Favorable Results - ~in Spraying Tests Reduction in Losses From Leaf-Spot Disease. iTrepareiJ by th* United States Department of Agriculture.) Spraying strawberries for the enn- trol of leaf spot diseases lias frequent ly been recommended, and a few grow-, ers in widely separated localities have sprayed regularly for fruit rots and have reported an apparent reduction in losses. The first systematic experi ments, however, for the control of fruit rots by spraying were made by the United States Department of Agricul ture last year, and although the re sults of this one seasons v^qrk must and are be regarded as inconclusive, souuP fa- grade vorable results seem .to be Indicated. Various sprays were used, and no one seemed to show a marked supe riority over another, indicating that no really satisfactory spray schedule las yet been worked out. The inves tigators feel, however, that the results Justify tiie conclusion that spraying with borrietHt* mixture, and in some cases dusting, reduced the losses from rot which developed after the fruit was picked sufficiently to more than Justify the expense of the treatment. Strawberries are grown in tills coun try under a great variety of conditions, and spray schedules must necessarily be varied accordingly. The result of the first season's work seems, how ever, to indicate that in the region of Beebe, Ark., where this work was done, strawberry rots may be reduced by spraying. It is accordingly planned to extend these spraying tests. vv\ m X'\ It Builds Strength Just the remedy to aid the system in throwing off catarrhal wastes, help the functional organs, restore digestion and bring ^back the perfect balance. _ r, Pe-ru-na meets the need which we all feel at this season of the year.

Plenty of Oyster Shell Helpful to Egg Layers Several flock owners have, at various times, asked my opinion as to the cause of soft-shelled eggs, says a writer In the Successful Farming. Hens may occasionally lay a soft-shelled egg even when supplied with plenty of oyster shells. Sometimes this Is’ caused by an overfat condition or a poorly balanced ration. If any of yoUr hens lay an occasional soft shelled egg, make sure that they are getting plenty of green food* and that they are made to exercise in the straw litter. If thhrts done, and the balanced ration and oyster shell do not put a stop to the sofl shelled eggs,' you may be sure that tiie trouble is due to some abnormal 'condition that prevents the fowls from manufac turing tiie lime as fast as It is need ed. When this is'the case the only cure seems to lie to cull out any hens that-are known to lay soft-shelled eggs frequently. . Such eggs are not only a frequent loss, hut the breaking and eating of them by the other fowls encourage the habit of egg-eating.
