aud fed them for nlueiy days, aud ~
the eud of that time they weighed
something over 1900 pounds. The
amount Of fuCd they consumed
was shout Is pounds of ruta-
bagas, 10 pounds Of chopped hay, 5
pound. Of corn meal and y poInd, oI

the cost wa-, On "A SIN all scale; with a
larger number the cost would be con-
-iderably less, rs one man can take
care of aud feed 80 head easily when
the proper facilities are at hand. The
calculations for the hay Is liberal, a.
well as all of the other feed, and there
i not the least doubt but what all the
feed can be raised in this country with
proper means Of irrigation, which uu-
d1ubtedly will bs prov ided for all that
want il "a a short time.
Another customer who consumes
