En- EXPERIMENTS
Wsfk Alsae That Line at the State
Agricultural College Watched With
lAsCh Interest. 4

Among the most important expert
merits being conducted at the agri-
,lpultural college this winter is steer
feeding trial. Rejected wheat and
shelled corn form the basis of the
ration. The object Of the trial Is to
determine whether Twheat of the
above grade and worth one cent per
pound can be fed with a profit in
North Dakota and to compare the
profit and gains with corn purchased
on the market and worth 46 cents per
bushel. "a
Twenty four steers, selected by
Professor Richards for their uniform
ity of size and type, arrived at the
college September %. They were
weighed soon after their arrival and
tipped the scales at a $50 pound aver
age, The cost, including freight,
amounting to 3.4 cents per pound.
They were put on timothy pasture as
soon Is weighed, the idea being to
run them as cheaply as possible until
it was convenient to put them on the
feeding trial. w.
While on pasture they were fed
ration OF three-tourths emmer (speltz)
and one fourth bran. AS they had not
been used TO grain and would shy at it,
when put in the feed managers, very
little was fed at tirst-a half pound
per head per day was all they would
eat. In three or four days, however,
they were AL at the mangers,-
rather surprising fact as feeders look
upon range .cattle as being rather hard
,toget on feed. Probably the light
ration which was very palatable was
ithe,cause.
The amount of feed was increased
from day to 'day'until they were eat
ing about 4hree pounds per ahead
The grain was not increased beyond
the three pound limit, the object
Ebging TO merely create liiaang for 1t.
The total amount Of grain eed while
on nsgrassywaseeoO pounds.

present writing both lots ere eating
