The twelfth annual convention of
the Association of American Agricul-
tural Colleges and Experiment Stations
was held in Washington last week and
was largely attended, all states being
represented except one. The cOnven-
ton produced many interesting and
valuable papers, those dealing with
cattle feeding receiving special atten-
ton. One of the most important in
that series reported observations dur
ing a long period of treatment of steers
in Pennsylvania and demonstra rated
that cattle can be main
t. ined in the country at
great advantage over Europe, accord
ing to the recognized feeding tables.
1t is very evident from q review of the
work done in this country that animals
in Germany, for instance, either re-
quire more food for their maintenance
or that the food is of an inferior quail
ty to that obtainsble here. The ex-
periments demonstrate that q steer OF l.
600 lbs can live and hold his own in this
country on about 20 per cent less food
than the German authorities
claim essential. The maintepances
rstions. The fundamental ration from
which ,stock raisers must build ac-
cordingly to their purpose, seems
to be go decidedly in favor of our
stockmen that the advantage should be
handicap which foreign competitors
could not overcome. If it lie possible
to maintain q steer on:2O per cent less
rations than Garmsn authorities claim
is possible on the other side of the
water, stock raising from q scientific
point Of view, should be profitable in
dustry in the United States.-Breeder's
