In 1911 there were 3,939,257, valued at $86,278,â€" 490, or, an average of $21.90, an wifn-crvelavse of $4.78 per head. Mr. H. S. Arkell, Assistant Live Stock Commussioner for the Dominion Government, says that never in our statistical history ‘have prites atâ€" tainmned so high a figure, either for cattle on ithe hoof or for meat in the butcher shop, as toâ€"day. What it will be next year, when the full eff](fCt of the war is felt, no one can tell. _ In the early days cattle were kept on the ranges from three to five years. Experience, however, has shown that the use of thorâ€" oughâ€"bred bulls and the consequent improvement in the quality and maturing ability of market cattle, together with heavier graim feedâ€" ing, has made it possible to put just as much beef on the market at from 13 to 20 moniths old. Exâ€" perts are of the opinion that with the .continued improvement _ of breed stock it will be possible to market at an even earlier date. Among the advantages of earlier finushing of cattle, the following are mentioned by some of the leading cattle men : Firstly, younger cattle make heavier. gains of beef on a similar amount of feed than old cattle; Secondly, the money investâ€" ed is turned faster, being turned over in eighteen months, where formerly at took from three to five years; Thirdly, heifers under two years old sell as readily as steers and finish more rapidily. In this conmection it is interestâ€" ing to note that fattening young stock is becoming very popular in the United States where the marâ€" ket for beef is increasing so rapidâ€" ly that more study has been paid to methods of increasing producâ€" tion. 2 Mr.: Randolph Bruce,‘ a wellâ€" known rancher in Western Canada, has just returned from Europe with many interesting opinions as bo the effect that the war. will have on the Canadian farmer. . The immense slaughter of cattle for the armaes in the field will, he: thinks, very shortly cause a great increase in the price of beef, and those farmâ€" ers who are raising cattle will make more money even tham those. who are raising wheat at a dollarâ€"fiity per bushel. Every effort should be made to raise cattle for the market in as large quanitities and as quickâ€" ly as possible. Mr. Bruce is a great believer in alfalfa as the most satisâ€" factory food for the rapid raising of cattle for beef. The Canadian Farmer Will Benefit By the War. MONEY IN LIVYE STOCK. Wit and Wisdom.
