HANDY LIVE STOCK LOADER How a Useful and Portable Loader May Be Built by the Farmer for Use on the Farm. The illustration given herewith of the stock-loading truck shows a very useful and handy loader for farm ers to use in loading hogs, sheep oi cattle out of pens or yards. The bed pieces, as described by a correspondent in the Practical Parmer, are 2x6-inch scantling 11 feet long crosspieces 2x4, 3 feet long, bolted on top of bed pieces, one at each end. The upright pieces at front end are 2x4 inches 3 feet 6 inches high, center uprights 57 PORTABLE LIVE-STOCK LOADER, inches high and the rear ones 72 inches high, each being bolted to bed-piece, also to the 2x4 which supports the floor on either side. The front or lower ends of these pieces rest on the bed-pieces, while their rear ends are supported by a piece of lV4x6-inch board nailed across the uprights 3 feet 6 inches above the bed-pieces. There is also a board nailed across to sup port the center. The floor is made of 2-inch plank with strips nailed across to prevent stock from slipping. Four 1x6 boards are nailed to each set of uprights and form the sides of the chute. The wheels should be from 12 to 14 inches in diameter li^-inch gas pipe would answer for the axle. The two levers, one on each side, should be 5 feet long, made similar to a punpj handle, fastened by a bolt pass ing through the center of the mid dle uprights and a piece of iron 6 inches long bolted to the bed-pieces. Levers are fastened to axle by a bent iron bolted to under portion of lever about 11 inches from where bolt passes through end of lever. Two hooks are required in the bed-pieces for holding the levers down when wheeling the truck from one place to another in the farm yard. COST OF MAKING BEEF. Effort Being Made to Discover the Point Where Steer Feeding Should Stop. It has keen accepted as proved that the younger an animal the lower is the cost of putting on flesh and fat. Some experiments have been made to prove this, but the data are too meager to pertait of the building of very strong arguments on them. Prof. Mumford, of the Illinois station, has taken up the question and is making an experiment that, will at least add to the volume of the data if it does not settle the question, which it prob ably will not. Herds of various ages are being fed at the station, and these will be marketed as fast as ready and careful reports compiled of the cost of gain made on each lot. There is a point beyond which it does not pay a farmer to keep an animal, even though that animal is all the time gaining in weight. The station is trying to find the point at which steer feeding must stop, if a profit is to be made. Every day after that point the farmer is losing money and losing the time he is putting on the care of the ani mal. PROFIT IN SHEEP. Figures Which Show How One Farm er Made a Handsome Profit on His Investment. An illustration of the profits possible in growing sheep is given by a farmer of South Andover, Me., who says: "Here is my lamb and wool account from 16 sheep for the year 1904. These •sheep were fed through the winter with good hay and no grain, with a ration of turnips about once a week and a good pasture to run in during the summer. The lambs came along from the first to the middle of May. "I sold 22 lambs, $3 each, $65 sold 80 lbs. of wool, 22 cts. a lb., $17.60 total gross $83.60 coafc of wintering and summering $40, total net $43.60 average lor each sheep $2.Y2i^ capi tal invested, 16 sheep, $3 each, $48 net profit on a dollar 90.83 per cent." The Weight of a Sunbeam. Prof. Poynting, of England, has been weighing sunbeams so as to find out the exact pressure of light, and he stated in a recent lecture that with the sun overhead and the air perfect ly clear, the weight of a sunbeam is a millionth of a grain to the square inch, or about a pound on a 200-acre field. Farmers in Michigan, remarks the Farm and Livestock Journal, are not worrying over the weight of sun beams they are interested much more in the question of how to get a suffi cient number of them. to mature their BUYING THE FEEDER. It Takes the Experienced Hand to Pick Out the Saw Material That Will Make High-Priced Beef. It takes a man that knows some thing about cattle to select the kind that will take the raw material and change if into high-priced beef that will be recognized as such when it comes into the hands of the man that is buying for immediate slaughter. In selecting an animal it should be viewed from- all sides and not from one side alone. The animal selected should have good length, good width and be fleshy. If he is not of good length, the amount of high-priced cuts on him will be very limited in num ber and most of the feed put into him will go to make low-priced cuts. If he is not wide he has not good diges tive powers and probably not a good constitution. If the animal is not already fleshy the probability is that he has not the faculty of putting on meat at a good rate on fairly good food, says the Farmers' Review, else his first own ers would have induced him to show what he could do in that line. He should have a short neck and broad head. The animal should also have a good back, which is one of the very important points in the feeder. The body should be deep, for without this it is not possible for him to take large quantities of food and change it rap idly into meat. SHEEP ENRICH THIN SPOTS One Farmer's Experience in the Prof itableness of the Flock of Sheep. Sheep are not only conservers of fertility but distributors of it where most needed if given an opportunity. They are averse to water, seeking elevations for their resting place and the low land of the pasture for the succulent growth. W. B. Loyd gives his experience in the Farm and Home as follows: "I turned a flock of sheep into a clover field, and they at once sought out the spots where the clover did not catch and eagerly devoured the weeds or pigeon grass that had taken possession of the open spaces. Then they ate the weeds and succulent grass in low places and runs in the field, leaving the clover on the high land, where most needed to enrich the soil. After everything else in the field had been eaten, the sheep ate the clover blossoms and small portions of the plants, but left the bulk of the clover on the portions of the field where most needed." RAISING MOTHERLESS PIGS How an Ordinary Feeding Trough Can Be Transformed Into a Foster Mother. Make an ordinary trough of the size required for the number of pigs you wish to feed. At each side and near enough the bottom to drain the milk out, directs the Farm and Home, bore FOSTER MOTHER FOR SHOATS. inch holes six or eight inches apart. In each hole insert a wooden plug with a hole in it, just large enough for the hilk to go through. Over each plug drain a rubber nipple and it is ready to pour milk in the trough. After once or twice helping the pigs to get hold you need take no further trouble. Of course the trough must be put out of their reach when they ara not eaHns'.
