Iii regard 10 feeding corn aud cob

ion among feeders. Ii viii pay extreme
In well under certain conditions and
where the meal can be prepared in an
economical way, says \. l.. Ames in
Rural New Yorker. The one necessary
article TO have is good. sound. dry corn.
The cob must not be wet. rotten or
musty. as the meal prepared from
| grain of this kind would have less feed
ing value with the cob left in than IL
taken out. Having good. bright. sound
grain. we must now consider the ex-
pense of preparing the meal. | be-
iieve the only practical way to manu-
facture cob meal is TO have some heavy
power located at the feed yard where
the meal can be made as fine as de-
sired aud in large quantities. You win
find it win take heavy machinery and
plenty of power to make a good quality
of cob meal. but with the proper equip
ment ii is possible 10 reduce the ex-
pense to 2J4 cents per 100 pounds of
sheIled corn or ) cents per 100 OF ear
corn.
The question arises MS to whether the
cob has any feeding value. In my own
experiments I have come 10 this con.
clusion. and | believe ii is the same as
that of nearly all feeders throughout
the west who have studied carefully
the gains made by cob meal. In start
ing cattle on feed or in feeding stock
cattle cob meal is a much better feed
than corn meal taken pound for pound
and therefore IS worth rs much or
more. But how can that be when there
is no feed in the cobY are you entirely
sure of thatI They are using corncobs
now for many other purposes than the
making of pipes. especially in the feed
yard. There is no place on a farm
where Il man must use his eyes and
mind in order to take advantage Of ev.
cry side Of 4 difficult proposition more
than behind a drove OF cattle in the
feed yard. All aged cattle when start
ed ON feed onsum for quite a time all
or nearly all the ear. So the man who
usually has the most TO say about the
uselessness OF feeding cob meal feeds
ear corn and his cattle eat the cobs
Just the same. After cattle have been
fed ear corn for some time. say sixty
or ninety days. they usually begin max
ing their feed a little stronger. Now
the man who can feed meal gives his
cattle just a little better chance of get

to use some byproduct to balance the
ration it is always best to add enough

quire a liking for these feeds IL start

Mr.. r. G.. Johnston Of Lawrence,
Kan, is well qualified to inteiiigently
write of Angora goats, as he has been
breeding these animals quite extern
sively for some years. He has sublime
faith in their ability to adapt them
selves TO varied conditions and to do
much toward transforming otherwise
waste places into profitable areas. He
ssys: THE Angora grows TO the same
size as sheep, but does not mature so
rapidly. A six-months-old lamb will
weigh more than a kid of the same age
with equal care. Therefore the goat
is not as good to raise for the early
market. But this Is more than Offset
by the fact that ii carries its lamb or
soft joint longer than a lamb does,
and its life Is so much longer than that
Of a sheep. 1t is a prolific breeder and
a productive shearer until twelve and
fourteen years old. Ii lives and thrives
In any climate or country where sheep
live and prosper, no matter how cold
or hot. 1t readily adapts itself to the
surrounding conditions. from the rich
valley TO rugged mountain wastes. All
the shelter it needs in this climate is
an open shed facing the south, which
1t can so under to protect itself from

The Annual Goat show.
The American Angora Goat Breeders
association will hold It's annual show
at Kansas City Oct. 10 to "a, inclusive.
The cash premiums offered amount to
about $1,000. For best buck two years
old and over the prizes are $50, $50,
$50 and medal. The same are offered
for doe two years old and over; also
for group of one buck, two does and
two kids. In all the other classes the
prizes are SIS, $15, $40 and medal.
These classes are as follows: Buck one

Anxoras and sheep.
1t would be well IL the prominent
writers on the subject OF the Angcra
were TO give more attention to pointing
out the distinct differences between the
sheep and the goat. They should urge
the farmer with plenty Of browsing to
secure the Angora and thus secure eco
nomical underbrusbing, but for the one
who has nothing but pasture and could
use the sheep to a greater advantage

tion be advised to attempt to raise An

seemed to be pleased at their removal
but she continued to limp the next day
