MONSTER STOCK FEEDING TEST.
Five Hundred Steers-Ten Lots of
Fifty Head Each Under Experiment.

' v OhSSN - ~
Fifty Head Each Under Experiment.
Prof. w. j. Kennedy, head of the ami
NAL ~husbandry department of the Iowa
Agricultural college, has completed
final arrangements for the mammoth
cattle feeding experiments to be con-
Quoted on the Cook farms, Odebolt, la.
The cattle have been carefully selected
and divided by Prof. Kennedy and Mar.
shall into ten lots OF 80 animals each.
Three distinct experiments are be-
ing conducted. The first is an accli-
nation test to determine the climatic
influence, if any, on Southern cattle
when brought to the Northern states
as feeders. For this purpose 80 head
of Southern cattle from Oklahoma
and Indian territory are being fed on
exactly the same kind of a ration and
under similar environments as anoth-
er lot of so head of Western cattle
from Colorado and the Sand Hills.
Exact data will be kept of all the feed
eaten by each of the lots, gains made,
and a careful comparison of the results
will be made at the conclusion OF the
test.
The second experiment contains
three lots of 80 head each to be fed on
different amounts of grain. The light
ration lot not to be fed over 16 pounds
of grain per day per steer when on full
feed: the medium ration lot not to eX-
coed 20 pounds and the heavy ration
lot "a pounds of grain per day per
steer when on full feed. At the con
@clusion of the test the relative cost of
feed per 100 pounds gain, average daily
gain, and other interesting data will be
deducted.
The third experiment contains five
lots of 80 head each. This test will be
a continuation Of the work commenced
last year except that none of the lots
will be fed any stock o as the manu-
facturers of the same would not entel
this years test on the same grounC
that they did last year and as com
piled with by the manufacturers OF the
other foods which are being fed TINS
year. Lot one will be fed corn an'
roughage. Lot two, corn, Old Process
