For You to Judge

Thousands of gallons of the L. Il

SCARCITY OF DESIRABLE

States-vaIue of Feeding EnsIage

A prominent feature of the trade in
stockers and feeders these days is the
scarcity of desirable kinds and the
poor quality of the rank and file offer
ings. General complaint is made by
prospective buyers that they are un-
able to secure anywhere near the num-
ber of either stocker or feeder cattle
Of a desirable class. although they
seem willing to pay the prevailing
prices for them. And there seems to
be no relief from this condition in the
near future. The run Of western hay

1t is better to feed larger proportion
Of cottonseed meal. say perhaps at the
rate of two-thirds cottonseed meal and

AS the season advances these pro-
portions should be reversed. Keep the
animals growing for the first three
months of the feeding period and dur
ing the last two or three months finish
them. If we attempt to feed corn
straight from the beginning they will
not grow as well. nor will they gain as
rapidly as If fed a larger amount of a

smaller amount of corn.
