Ohio Siock.-A correspondent of the Sci
ota, Ohio, Gazette has sent to the editor Ut that
paper some facts relative to the business Of
{. Stock Feeding" which is extensively carried
1 on in the Sciota Valley. From these 1t appears
that the first stock or store cattle were driven
to an Eastern market in the year 1901, and the
trade continued successfully for three years.
It was soon found that there was no market at
home for the surplus gram raised in Ohio, and
the distance too great to send it to the eastward
for sale; in consequence Of which a citizen of
Chilicothe determined to try the experiment Of
fattening cattle at home. Sixty head were fed
in the year 1904, and the owner drove them to
Baltimore, the neare st market, and to his great
establishment the project proved profitable. The
succeeding year from two to three hundred were
driven to the same market. In 1908 drove was
sent to Philadel phia, and subsequently others to
New York and Boston, and The number now
exported from the valley alone amounts to 10000
head per annum. The following estimate is be-
lieved to be rather under the correct amount than
to exceed it:
Cattie.-rhere will be fed in the
Sciota Valley the ensuing winter 10000
head of cattle, which will be driven to
an eastern market-exclusive Of 1000
head, intended for home consumption
estimating these 10000 head here at
$50 per head they will amount to 100000
SIS, 900 head of stock cattle which
will also be sent eastward, estimated
at Is per head $4,000
