Milt Wyatt, a stockman Of Harrington,
in speaking of cattle feeding, says: 81
! have tried it both ways, letting them
out by the month and by taking them In
! by the month a various prices ranging
! from 80 cents to SIPS per month. The
| latter has proved the most satisfactory
! in both cases. l have figured a great
| deal on letting cattle out to be wintered
| and it proved very unsatisfactory to both
! the man that feeds them and to myself.
| / think the satisfactory price to be s.
per month. I know this is as cheap as
| a man can feed them. If he takes them
for less, then he is obliged to cut them
on the feed to get even. When millet is
| worth 50 per ton it will take two tons
to feed 100 cattle one day. That is S.,
and so days would be $50 for man to
I feed 90 per month-ten for board, five
| for wear and tear of wagon and feed OF
| team Now, see whether you can do II
4 for less than 50 per month. I went out
and put I'D some very, good talks to in
duce q man to take cattle for 7ac per
month last winter. I talked fellows into
taking enough cattle to lose, anyhow,
from $500 to 1000 and I am sure l got
fully 70 cents worth of feed. Talk with
any Of those fellows and they all have
one game eye for the man that comes
around who has cattle to let out for less
than 81 per month. So, the American peo-
p!e are not the ones nowadays to give
81 for 75c, Just because your cattle are
fine colOrs."
