Farmers are discussing the relative
merit Of cats, o that threshing is
over. The white oats, good to feed,
but is poor yielder with an abundance
Of course straw. Black oats yield well
and the straw is the best Of all the
oats for feeding purposes. Black oats
stand up better than any other kind,
also. Red cats, a good yielder with
course brittle straw that breaks up In
threshing. Russian Green, small
grain, big yielder 'and lots of straw.
Every Kind has its friends-you pay
your money and SOW your choice.

drop more or less on the ground which
is an absolute waste. Now where
cake is used and any drops the hogs ,

weaned. At first l run them In
the meadow pasture and a little later :

and give them a pound Of cotton seed )

fat as where young cattle are started :

Mr.. Anderson most conYincingly :
illustrated what feeder can accom- .
plish with bis cattle If the proper fin
methods are followed. On
