Feeding Two-Year-0ld Steers

From the Breeders Gazette.
To the Gazette.-W. j., Brady, Neb.r
asks:
"Will 1t pay to buy corn at 80 cents
per bushel and prairie hay at So per
ton to feed long tw~o-year-old steers'
l have plenty OF hogs to follow the
cattle"
In answering this question it would
be unsafe to assure the correspondent
that there would be a profit from
feeding, because SO much depends up
on market conditions when the cattle
are properly finished. Under average
conditions, however, there should be
a profit at the prices given If some
thing like oilmeal, cottonseed meal or
gluten meal is fed In connection with
the corn and prairie hay TO furnish
protein lacking In such a combination.
Last winter the Nebraska experiment
station conducted a test with ten
yearling steers In each lot, covering a
period Of six months, With results IS
stated. With the cattle, which were
fed corn and prairie hay, with corn
worth % cents per bushel, prairie hay
O. per ton and oilmeal s25 per ton,
each 100 pounds OF gain cost 8 q. On
q grain ration consisting Of nine-tenths
core aud one-tenth oilmeai with
prairie hay each 100 pounds of gain
cost s6.s2 These cattle were worth
I cents per pound at the beginning Of
the experiment.
At the end Of the six months feed
ing period, those fed corn and prairie
hay sold In the Omaha market at % 30
per 100 pounds while those fed corn,
prairie hay and oilmeai sold on the

same market for Is IS. Deducting the
cost OF shipment and other expenses
and adding the revenue from hogs
which followed the cattle, it was
found that the steers fed corn and
prairie hay made a net profit of 3ec
per head, while.those fed corn, prairie
hay and oilmeal made a net profit Of
s4.76 per head. In this experiment
the corn was two cents per bushel
below the price quoted by your CORE
spondent, but the prairie hay was 90
per ton instead OF 50. If 0ilmeal costs
more on the market than cottonseed
meal or gluten meal it would be adj
visable to purchase one Of the latter
instead, feeding about one pound of
the cottonseed meal or gluten meal to
nine pounds OF corn.

Whether or not it is for p0litica

made by the President In giving 4
this noble man q position on either o

Yet as . matter Of fact the appoint
