ing one thousand pounds fattened in
six months from purchase, when the
ration is corn and good quality of
clover or alfalfa hay, fifty-five to sixty
hay will be required. If the corn is
supplemented with some heterogeneous
supplement like oil meal or cotton seed
meal, slightly less corn will be need
ed. If other rOughage than clover
and alfalfa are used, such as corn,
stover and straw, then less clover
will be required. If cattle are or.

Knowing approximately the amount
in position to know about how
many cattle he can feed advantage
Ously. In regard to the number of
cattle the feeder should feed, the
writer wishes to emphasize the fact
that cattle feeding is business that
lends itself most advantageously to
extensive practice and methods. In
does not feed at least carload is
greatly handicapped when it comes
to selling, so much so that we do
not advise the finishing. of cattle in
less than car lots. This same thought
carried little further means that
the cattle feeder who is in a position
to feed even more than one car load
has advantage over the one carload
feeder. AS rule he saves on freight,
labor and purchased feeds. Further
than this, he has an opportunity to
more evenly grade his cattle to the
advantage of the more timid and
smaller cattle in the feed lot. Again,
some cattle finish more quickly than
others and the extensive feeder has
the opportunity to select load of
this kind and market them as soon as
they are ready. The one load feeder
is likely to have one or more steers
that are not finished, a few that may
be considerably fatter than the ma
Jority, enough so at least to make
the load look uneven, and as a result
sell unsatisfactory.

The inevitable result of an abundant
supply of well finished beeves is to

cattle feeder must guard against buy
ing them at prohibitive prices and
times are mere likely to go lower
than higher. Whether or not pre-
vailing low prices for stockers and
feeders should be a potent influence
in determining the extent of cattle
feeding operations will depend large
ly upon the general status of the
cattle industry, business conditions,
and probable price of feeds.
Of all the hazardous guides follow
ed by the prospective cattle feeder,
that of the prosperity of a neighbor
feeder is most hazardous. Farmers
unaccustomed to fattening cattle have
business for three or four consecu-
tive years and conclude they too can
do likewise. Quite, often the next
year and the next prove unfavorable
for the cattle feeder and the begin
ner confronts with this obstacle, in
addition to his lack of experience,
loses considerable money that he can
i'll afford to lose. Many well informed
cattle men make it rule to feed
certain number of cattle each year
without much regard to changing
providing conditions are not such as
make it possible to know at the out
set that the business can not be en-
gagged in without loss. Certain it is
that such policy is far wiser than
one which involves going in and out
of the business with an effort to fol-
low market and other conditions.

Asked concerning the relative cost OF equip
,,ent MIR. Spencer said that between 1883 and
1on, the increase had been 40.12 per cent on
locomotives. 57.31 per cent on box cars, loo-no
per cent on fiat cars. and 1895 per cent on
coal cars The great increase on fiat and coal
cars he said was due TO the substitution OF
steel for wood in the construction. He added
that il cost from three to three and a halr
times as much per ton TO handle intrastate
freight in North Carolina as IL did on the aver
age for the entire system. The reason given
was that there Is less tonnage on local trains,
more wear on the equipment, and more labor
