Feeding of beef steers on corn fod-
|llr at profit In the Palouse country,
south of Spokane, Wash, has been full
ly demonstrated by the Washington
state college experiment farm at Pull
man, which sold IS steers fed as an
experiment. These steers We're
bought at random throughout the Pa
louise country at $25 to $50 a head.
They were cut into three lots and fed
under slightly different methods. The
total cost of IA steers was $500 and
This Is an increase of more than ten
cents a day, or ten cents for three
pounds of wheat, which is at the rate
Of 81 a bushe1 for wheat fed to steers
In this way
The experiment, explains the Draft
Horse Journal, was carried on under
the direction of E. E. Elliot, profes-
sor of agriculture in Washington state
college, but was under the great su-
pervision Of Professor w. A. Link
slater, head Of the department of an
imal husbandry, and W. D. Foster, su-
perintendent of the college farm.
