Inc object Of the trip of his destina-
ton. When he came into the city
from Oyster Bay in the morning 1t
was not the intention of Mr. Roose-
veit to permit news of his intended
journey to become known. Part or
his plan leaked out, however wnen
an enterprising automobile agent
from whom Mr.. Roosevelt obtained
large touring car telephoned to
every newspaper office in the city and
asked that the photographers be sent
to The Outlook office that a pnoto-
graph Of the departure might be Ia
ken.
Purpose Is Kept Secret
A score of photographers, with
about an equal number of reporters
reached the office early in the after
noon, half an hour before the time
set by Mr. Roosevelt for his depart
ure. Efforts TO learn from him the
purpose of the trip We're without
avail.
Beyond admitting that he intended
to spend four days IN tour of New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, Mr.. Roose-
welt refused absolutely to discuss his
plans II is understood. however,
that the trip will not be more than
300 miles in length.
Shortly before four o'clock in the
afternoon Mr.. Roosevelt, accompanied
by Lawrence Abbott, son of Lyman
Abbott editor of the Outlook, entered
the, automobile and both were driven
rapidly away.

The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-06-04

Editorial Answer.-There has not
been sufficient experimental feed of
cottonseed meal to horses to enable
anyone to state definitely how much
may be safely and satisfactorily fed.
A sufficient number of horses have,
however, been fed from two to three
pounds a day with the most satisfac-
tory results, to justify the statement
that when horse is receiving corn
and corn fodder or grass hay, three
pounds of cottonseed meal may be
given and the corn reduced 5 or 6
pounds, with the best results. In
other words. IL horse is receiving
Is pounds of corn and corn fod-
der as the daily ration, 10 pounds of
corn and 3 pounds of cottonseed meal
will give better results, and at the
usual prices. will be cheaper.
Before we can intelligently advise
available and their local market
price. We must also know the kind
and amount of work the horse is
doing.
For farm horse probably the
cheapest ration from the feeds usu-
ally available. would be made up of
part cottonseed meal to or
parts of corn, and equal parts of corn
fodder or grass hay and some legume
hay. such as cowpea.
For driving horse We would omi
the legume hay.

Editorial Answer.-An average of
12a miles day is rather hard work
for a mule, if the roads are the
average Southern roads, and es-
pecially SO if any load is to be
hauled. The unequal division of the
work. miles one day and 81 the
other-makes it harder than if it
were equally divided.
For mule weighing 900 pounds
and doing fairly hard work, the
feeding standard" would call for
about: protein, 2.25 pounds; carbo-
hydrates, IL pounds, and fats, ~
pound.
To supply this will require some
additional feed besides the oats and
the corn fodder. If we take 13
pounds of oats and 13 pounds of
corn fodder we shall have about the
required carbohydrates and fats, but
will be short nearly three-fourths Of
a pound of protein. To overcome
this difficulty, we suggest the addi-
ton of some feed rich in protein,
such, for instance, as we have right
at hand in our cottonseed meal. We
therefore suggest daily ration OF
say, IL pounds corn fodder, Il
pounds of oats. and pounds cotton
seed meal.
This may be little less or little
more than the mule will need. The
way to determine this is to make a
trial. Decrease the amount, and if
the mule does not lose flesh or
weight, the lighter ration is salts
factory. If he loses weight, increase
the feed and if that stops the weight
losing, it is apparent that the lighter
ration does not supply his needs.

At one time there was a quite gen.
eral belief, even among scientific
men, that a previous impregnation
by jack would cause a subsequent
foal by horse to take on some of
the characteristics of the mule, but
this view has been pretty thoroughly
disproved. 1t is very doubtful if a
first impregnation exerts any such
influence over a subsequent foal. We
can see no reason why mule colt
should be harder on mare than a
horse colt, nor does our observation
and experience support such an idea.
AS to whether one should breed
jack or large Percheron stallion, it
is difficult to say. If the jack weigh
ed somewhere near 1000 pounds,
we would not hesitate to state that
the mares should be bred to him.
The mares are grades and large
enough for farm work and mule
raising, therefore there is no special
reason for breeding to the Perche-
ron stallion. If the mares were
pure-bred or if they were small and
it was desired to obtain mares of
the right size for raising mules, we
would then breed to the stallion.
Some small jacks, if small merely
from lack of feed and not from in
heritance, breed good-sized mules
and if there is any evidence that this
Sc, ;C
breed these large mares to him. We
rather favor breeding these mares to
the jack unless it is desired to raise
more mares for mule breeding. In
such case cross between these 1900
pound mares and 1,500-pound Per-
mares for raising high-priced mules.

from 1850 to 1900 pounds. of good

dunn size and good quality may be

We wish also TO insist on the ne
cessity OF providing an abundance OF
feed. especially for the breeding ami
mails and young stock. and making
this provision before getting too
many animals on hand. After a suf-
.iiclent quantity OF feed. the next Inn
portant matter is the right kind OF
feed. Young and breeding animals
must have a properly balanced ration

Breeding Mares to a Jack.

Does breeding a mare to
jack injure her any more than
breeding to a stallion? Does it
make her any more unlikely to
get with foal next time? If,
after raising a mule colt she
does get with foal by stallion,
will the resulting horse be any
meaner than if she had never
been bred to jack?
j. r. H.
Editorial Answer: A mare that
has produced a mule colt is not
likely to be more difficult to get in
foal by a horse.

RELIABLE DATA
REGARDING FEED
Experime nts to Obtain Best
Method of Feeding Steers
Briefly Summarized-
"Long-Fed" Best.

CBY PROF. ]. H. SKINNER. INDIANA
EXPERIMENT STATION.)
Experiments to obtain reliable data
regarding the best method of feed
ing steers, considering the length Of
the feeding period. show the following
results briefly summarized:
A short feeding period necessitates
the purchase of heavy fieshy steers
which would usually be marketed as
killers.
"Short-fed" cattle consume a great
er proportion of concentrates to rough
age than '1ong-fed" cattle.
"Short-fed" cattle made a greater
daily gain per head than 'long-fed"
cattle
In the first test the total amount Of
corn necessary to finish each steer
was "a bushels in the -short-fed" lot
and SAG bushels in the ''long-fed" lot
in the second test 42.5 bushels In the
"short-fed" lot and Gil bushels in the
''long-fed' lot.
During the period when both lots of
cattle were in the feed lot there was
greater profit per head from feed
ing the heavier, fieshier steers.
In the first test the margin neces-
sary to prevent loss on the "short-fed''
cattle at the time of marketing was 4S
cents per 100; on the "long-fed" cat
tie at the same time 80 cents, and on
the "long-fed" cattle at the time of
marketing s1.O4 per 100.
In the second test the margin neces-
sary to prevent loss on the short
fed" cattle at the time of marketing
was 92 cents per 100; on the long
fed" cattle at the same time $1.01
per 100, and at the time of marketing
s1.54 per 100.
The cost of gains was cheaper on
the thinner cattle during the first
three months of the test, but when fed
to the same marketable finish the cost
of gains was practically the same.
In short-feeding cattle for late sum-
mer and fall markets it is necessary
to start with very feshy feeders OF
excellent beef type in order that they
will not sell in competition with west.
ern CRASHED cattle.
Additional data will be necessary
before definite conclusions may be
drawn as to the profits resulting from
these two methods of feeding. due to
the many variable factors which have
direct bearing on the profit and loss
in cattle feeding.

The great advantages of this rota-
ton OF hog pastures are that we can
produce pork very cheaply; we can
produce it with a very small amount
of labor, as we let the hogs do their
own harvesting. and we have consid-
erably less feed to haul to them than
where they are handled entirely; and
lastly. our hogs are maintained in a
healthier condition because of their
great range, their change Of pasturage
and the changing of their pastures
every year.

Easy with the Nervous Horse.

To cure "scary" or nervous horse
none but gentle measures are of any
use. To whip horse for shying at
an object only makes him the more
afraid OF it, as of course he will con-
meet the whipping with it.
Sometimes horses are made scary
by having their foretops hanging over
their eyes. which gives objects the ap-
pearance of moving.
When a horse SHES at an object
speak kindly and reassuringly to him
and gently urge him up to. 1T. let him
smell of It and see that It does no.
hurt him. He will soon learn to have
more confidence both in himself and
his master.
