Prize YearIine Hereford steer.

A bulletin entitled Economical
Beef Production" by H. r. Smith,
has just been issued by the Nebraska
experiment station. This report
gives the results of four experiments
In which comparisons are made of diff
ferent rations suitable for producing
beef in Nebraska and of different
types and breeds of cattle fed under
like conditions. The general conclu-
sions are as follows:
In comparing bran, linseed-meal,
and cold pressed cotton seed cake
each as a source of protein supple
menting cornmeal and silage, the
cold pressed cake proved to be worth
so per cent. more per ton than wheat
bran, and linseed meal IS per cent.
more per ton than cold pressed cot
ton seed cake.
In the use of each of these supple
mentary protein feeds with cornmeal
and prairie hay, the cold pressed cot
ton seed cake showed value per ton
~ per cent. greater than wheat bran,
and the linseed meal % per cent. more
than the cotton seed sake.
Where alfalfa was used in connec-
ton with cornmeal and silage, or
cornmeal and prairie hay, large gains
were made without the use of con-
centrated protein food. The gains in
both experiments where alfalfa was
fed were larger, less costly and much
more profitable. These experiments
supplementing what had previously
been found, show that beef can be
produced in Nebraska at lower cost
and with greater profit on a combina-
ton of the corn plant and alfalfa
hay than on any other combination Of
foods available in the state.
These experiments show that corn
silage gives larger gains than shred
ded corn slower when each is fed

stances higher condition Of flesh,
a larger proportion of high priced
meat, and sold for a higher price per
hundred, returning larger profits to
the feeder on the basis of the same
initial cost per hundred.
1t does not require a lot Of capital
to become breeder of pure bred cat
tie, provided a person can be salts
fled to grow in the business rather
than go into it. The first thing to
decide is what breed meets a persons
tastes and conditions best. When this
point is settled. says the Southwestern
Stockman, then a bull of good breed
ing should be selected and bred to the
herd, and calves raised from best
COWS. The raising of grade calves will
give the owner a wider experience
and help him to understand some of
the finer points concerning the rear
ing of specialbred dairy cattle,
The knowledge gained by raising
and developing grades will be very
helpful when a pure-bred heifer or
two is purchased as foundation stock
of a pure-bred herd. The informa-
ton gained by the care of grades will
not only be useful, but the selection
of bull will give an experience, at
least it should, that cannot be gained
in any other way. This step of select
ing bull places the dairy farmer in
touch with the breeds of dairy cattle
and he is awakened to the fact that
there is great difference in bulls.
A pure-bred bull is greater educator
for he is the means of leading men
to think and study
With one or two good heifers it re-
quires but a few years to build up
good herd of pure bred cattle. In the
selection of pure-bred heifers pains
should be taken to select good ami.
mails, but greater care should be en-
ercised in the selection of the bull,
for it Is through the bull the herd is
improved. In other words, the bull
has an influence on every calf born
in the herd, while the COW influence
but one calf a year.
1t therefore becomes the greatest
Importance for dairy farmer to Sc
lect well-bred and good breeding
bull Very often aged bulls that are
good breeders are offered at prices
little above their value for beef They
are harder and more dangerous to
handle than yearling, but this
should not prevent a person from
purchasing the aged bull, especially
If he has proven himself a getter of
good stock. The bull must prove his
worth as breeder OF good stock
just as the COW must prove hers at
the pail.
TO summarize briefly, the steps to
be taken by a dairy farmer who de-
sires to become a breeder of pure
bred cattle: First, select the breed
that is preferred and meets cond-
| lions best Second, select a well-bred
bull, and when possible one that has
proven himself getter of good
stock. Third, when finances and ex-
perience will permit, buy pure-bred
heifer or two, and from these amt
mails grow into pure-breds.

with cornmeal and alfalfa, and for
beef production Is worth GO per cent
more per ton.
Corn stover has value 80 per cent
as great is prairie hay, and the por.
ton consumed is fully as valuable.
Prairie hay at its usual market price
is not profitable for fattening cattle.
In comparing a ration consisting of
heavy feed of cornmeal alfalfa and
a light feed of silage, with a ration
consisting OF medium quantity of
light feed of corn alfalfa and a heavy
feed of silage, yearling steers being
fattened for market made cheaper
and more profitable gains on the
larger feed of corn and smalled feed
OF corn silage.
In growing calves to be fattened
later for market, the cheapest gains
We're made on liberal ration Of corn
slage and alfalfa without grain, the
cost of gains increasing in proportion
to the amount of cornmeal fed.
These experiments show that there
Is great variation in the capacity
OF individual steers to make gains
under like conditions. The data do
not show that the individuals of one
breed make larger gains than those
OF another breed. The variation in
gain seems to be fully as great within
breed as between representatives
OF different breeds.
Type or conformation seems to be
controlling factor. the low-set more
compact types having something of
all advantage in gains and much in
early maturity over the rangy type.
Gains seem to correlate to a con.
siderable degree with body capacity
as indicated by the size of the middle
girth. the largest gamers have rela.
lively larger middle girths at the
same weight in most instances.
While the average gains made by
all dairy bred steers are nearly the
same as those made by the beef-bred
steers UP to the age of twenty-five
months, the latter showed in most in
