CATTLE FEEDING.

Conclusions Reached as the Result of
Careful Experiment.
From Bulletin No. 10, of the Texas
Agricultural Experiment Station, con-
tanning elaborate particulars of Feed
ing Experiment No. 2, conducted by F.
A. Gulley, director, and L. w. Carson,
assistant director, we extract the fol-
lowing:
This experiment is a continuation of
the feeding experiments inaugurated
last winter. and reported in Bulletin
No. 6.
Three questions were asked of the
cattle and leed-stuffs employed in the
test made last winter:
/. Is it profitable and practicable to shelter
range cattle in feeding?
2. What feed.stuffs that can be supplied
In the State gives best returns for cost?
3 Can the native Texas steer be fed profit
ably?
Fifty-five head of cattle were fed on
different rations, made up of corn, hay,
cotton seed raw and cooked, cotton-seed
hulls, cotton-seed meal, and silage. The

fully, and that cost of certain food con-
snDed is much less than increased value
of steers from gains made in weight at
selling prices of food steers.
In regard to comparative results from
different feed-stuffs, silage and cotton
seed hulls for roughness, and cooked
cotton seed and cotton meal, with or
without corn, made more rapid gain
than hay and corn, and at less cost.
Cattle not sheltered consumed more
food, and made less gain in weight,
than cattle fed under sheds.
From the result of this and other ex-
periments we assume that except in
favored and exceptional hay. producing
sections, cotton hulls in the vicinity OF
the oil mills. and corn and sorghum

rough fodder in the cheapest form to the
cattle feeder as the basis OF food ra-
items; and we alse assume that the best

HERE AND THERE.

"A box or trough containing salt, to
which the cows have access every day,
is requisite indispensable in the prof.
liable feeding of cows
Select the warmest place in the
garden, where the drainage is good-on
the south side of hill if you have such
a thing-and plant your grapes there.
Cows should be prevented from
drinking stagnant, impure water. The
sponsibility for the enforcement Of
that beneficial prohibition rests fully
with the individual farmer.
Did you ever think that weed was
something of blessing to some people?
1t is. 1t compels them to do what they
would not do but for weeds, cultivate
the crop.
1T is said that from handful of
mold and a sprout of pineapple stuck
anywhere on coral rock in Florida,
there will in eighteen months be pro-
duced good pineapple.
We see liquid manure recommended
for potted plants. 1t is a splendid idea.
When a pot becomes filled with the
roots of a plant, it can not find food in
the soil. Liquid manure will supply it.
The man who believes-and acts on
his belief-that cows should have no
shade in the pasture, so that they won t
lose any time from eating by lying in the
shade, should be compelled to eat a day
bareheaded in the hot sun.
Give little ground bone daily to
your flock. 1t is cheap and can be pro-
cured at almost any drug store. About
an ounce to ten fowls is enough. Mix it
in the soft feed in the morning. This is
also excellent for young and growing
chicks.

it sufficiently erect so that the pollen

he says, been verified during repeated
tests
uC AI0SS says GAdt
most of the farmers who are complain
ing of hard times are those who have
waded into debt beyond their depth.
That is a solemn truth, and the farmer
who conceived it has great head. But
the farmer did not have to wade far to
get beyond his depth. The man who
owes ten dollars and can not get enough
profit on what he produces to pay it,
does not owe much, but he is in debt
clean above his head all the same.
From among many interesting notes
upon the culture and product of sweet
