Testing the Short Feed.

In the sale Of thirty four steers, av-
eraging 1913 pounds, on the Chicago
market, at $500, very timely cattle
feeding experiment by the Illinois Ex-
pertinent Station was terminated. re-
lates the Tribune Farmer. These
steers were bought on the Chicago
market the last week in August. AS
purchased they were fleshy feeders,
weighing 1913 pounds, and cost S4.25
on the Chicago market, and have been
fed for ninety days.
Professor Mumford, associated with
Fl. 0. Allison, senior student in the
College Of Agriculture, who is to use
the records of the experiment station
relative to this test as a basis for a
graduation thesis, planned this expert
ment as being one which would be
likely to appeal to a large number of
cattle feeders throughout the country,
who have tried similar experiment
and who are not in position to know
accurately the results of their work
The cattle were fed in two lots, both,
however, receiving similar rations,
which consisted Of cornmeal, oilmeal
and clover hay. One lot received these
feeds after the common method of feed.
ing, while for the other lot the clover
hay was chopped (cut into two-incI
lengths by being run through an ordi
nary ensilage machine at cost OF
about 81 tom and mixed with the
grain part OF the ration. This mixed
feed was then fed in self-feeder. te

to reading and hearing Of those who
have been land poor. How often we
learn of some one who has had SOME
very unpleasant dealings with tht

acknowledges that such would not have
been the case had he not been pos
sessed of SO much land A writer IL
the National Stockman in speaking OF
this subject Of being land poor says
MANY q man is burdened unneces
sarily by the ownership of too many
acres of land. The desire to extend
ones business and to have income iii
creased is natural. In the case of the
farmer this desire takes practical
form in the purchase OF more land very
