Indoor vs.. Outdoor Feedinu

The question of the economy OF in
door versus outdoor feeding for fatten-
ing steers in n climate such as tina of
central Pennsylvania has been studied
by the Pennsylvania experiment sta
ton. among others. for several years.
In a recent bulletin of this station. r..
l. Mairs n N. G. Miller report exper-
1ments on this, subject carried on dur
ing the winter of l9O4-5. and sum-
marize the work OF previous expert
ments along the same line. In these
experiments twenty-four grade steers
containing Galloway, Shorthorn, Here
ford or Aberdeen Angus blood. divided
into two lots of twelve each. were used,
one lot being fed in a pen in the base
ment OF the college barn and the other
IN an open shed in a yard adjoining
the barn. The two lots were fed alike
on a ration of ear corn. corn slower and
clover hay. The four main points on
which observations were made we're:
% The comparative gain in live
weight; (2) health and vigor of the
animals as indicated by appetite and
general appearance; (3) the relative
economy OF the two methods as far as
relates to of feed consumed per
pound of gain. and 90 relation of gain
to temperature of surroundings.
The results obtained in experiments
made during three years are
lied in h following table:

EAT LESS AND EAT II SLOWLY.

ECONOMIC methods of eating are 80
important so automatic that 1t real
ly occasions some surprise that more
Is not known about the matter. Mr..
Horace Fletcher. in his famous A b C.
books on nutrition. very wisely insists
upon the necessity of slow m~astication
with abundant ~insalivation. It is really
astonishing how badly people use the
teeth nature gave them for this pur-
pose.
Children naturally bolt their food. so
1t Is said. and adults retain the habit.
Not having the digestive power of cats
or dogs. which naturally bolt their food,
it results that much of our food Is UNI
digested and wasted.
At h very time that Robert Hunter
in his great work on Poverty" is call
ing attention to The fact that 10, OOO. 900
Americans are underfed. Professor
C~hittenden Is apparently proving that
little is needed.
Surely. something in the way Of

what they now waste Is bound to les

sion can well thank Mr.. Fletcher for
the great interest he is taking In these
dietetic matters. 1t was due to his ini-
tiative and substantial encouragement
that the Yale experiments were carried
out. and medical science has been the
gamer, even il he subsequently proved
that C~hittenden has placed our needs
too low. The stimulus given to the
study OF dietetics is the great gain.

The Illinois experiment station made
a special EFFORT to obtain data from a
large number of feeders with a view
to deducing some general principles re-
garding various questions OF cattle
feeding. and over 500 replies were re-
ceived. One of questions CON
cerned The kind and amount OF shelter
necessary for fattening cattle. One
half OF the correspondents stated that
sheds were used; about one-third.
principally those who fed in spring
and summer. used pens, lots. or open
fields. but usually gave the cattle ac-
cess TO shade or shelter of one sort OF
another; about 10 per rent. fed i'm
barns: a smaller number depend on
woods and straw stacks for shelter,
while only two individuals stated that
they practiced stall feeding. The per-
centage of those who fed without sheds
was greater among Iowa and Nebraska
correspondents than anon those in
Illinois.
with regard to the possibilities VI SEE
curing better results. providing the
steers had access to closed sheds or
warm barns. two-thirds OF the corre-
sp"ndents believed that such protec-
ton would be advantageous, many
making the qualification that the barn
or shed should be we'll ventilated and
lighted II that the steers must NOT
be confined too closely.
IN Il discussion Of the question OF
barns VS.. sheds. H. r.. Smith, Of the
Nebraska experiment station, draws
attention to the fact that there is dan
ger In overhousing cattle as we'll as in
underhousing. Cattle are not likely
to he uncomfortable, even Turing cold
weather. so long as they are protected
from cold winds and have a dry bed.
Inc latter is more necessary than is
ordinarily supposed. and a roof is no
doubt worth more h it's cost
TOT this purpose. 1t would seem
that. In the northern states especially.
some sort of u he'd open on the side
opposite prevailing winds is most sat
tsfactory for fattening CATTLE"
1t Is evident from the data which
has been summarized that the results
OF different investigators have not been
entirely uniform. some having found
barns slightly more advantageous thar
sheds and others the reverse. 1t seems
fair to conclude hat skillful feeders
have obtained satisfactory results by
both methods. n that. in general.
profitable stock feeding depends more
upon other questions OF feeding and
management than upon the kind and
amount of shelter provided.
When very large numbers of cattle
are fattened 1t is evident that the COM
paratfve cost of housing In barns and
sheds must be taken into account and
that sheds would be much the cheaper.

CARE OF THE HANDS

1T Il woman is wise she will take the
precautfon TO wear gloves when black
ing u stove. busting "a room, sweeping
or doing n kind of work that will soil
the hands. y pair of white cotton
gloves is Il great protection to the hands
when hanging out clothes, and these
may be knitted from white tidy cotton
or made of white canton fiannel. A
good way to polish the stove without
having your hands ruined with black
ing is to put a swab OF one n of a
small stick. then put your hand in a
polish the stove.
HOusewOrk is rather hard on the
hands. but there are some precautions
which. II taken, will add greatly to the
comfort of the worker and the appear
ance of the hands. Use only the best
soap for washing III hands. n keep
on hand a mixture of corn meal and
vinegar. n rub them we'll with it af-
ter having washed them at any time
during the day. The hands should al
ways be carefully and thoroughly dried
after washing.
In DISTINGUISHING n cannot wear
gloves. and the hot water will cause
the hands to swell and grow tender,
but if Il dish mop Is used and plenty of
hot water the hands need scarcely be
put in the dishpan, and IL the dish
towels are put In strong sud- after
each time of using they may be kept
soft and white as long as they last.
This may seem trouble, but the hands
are saved as we'll as the towels, as they
never have time to become very soiled.
and 1t takes very little rubbing to keep
them clean. AT night soak the hands
in hot water. wipe them dry with a
soft towel and rub them we'll with a lit
tie mutton tallOw softened to make 1t
penetrate well. The meal in the day
time and the alloy at night will be
as good for the hands as some OF he
expensive preparations.
