The greatest success in cattle feeding tha,
has come within our knowledge has been
done by Mr.. Henry G Cover, of Uniontown
this county On the 10Th Of last August he
bought two steers, which weighed 1850 gross

they were put on the same scales, and weigh
ed 2b0O pounds This was an increase o.
105 pounds each in the nine months they
were tel-an average of IS! pounds a montl
and nearly = pounds a day. If any Cattl,
feeder in Marylan Virginia or Pcnnsylva
MIA has done as well or better we should like
TO hear from him. The steers were bought
for sal .GJ, and were sold for $lH .70-Aa
