EHE PRACTICE of growing meat

HE PkACT1CE OF growing meat
making animals quickly is of com
paratively recent date. Years ago
the aim was rather to winter the ami
mails eheaply without much regard to
any growth made, and to depend upon
the season for vegetative growth to
make increase in the growth Of the ami
NAL. Under such conditions maturity
was deferred and development was
hindered in proportion to the length
and frequency Of the period when the
animals were on short rations or on
ratious not wen suited to make growth.
The rule is now, or at least it ought
to be, to keep meat making animals
pushing along quickly when grown on
the arabic farm until they reach ma
turity. The aim should be to have no
periods of stagnation in growth. But to
this method there may be some excep-
tions. Some of these will be duly noted.
The reasons why growth should be
continuous and reasonably rapid include
the following:
Q) Gains are less rapidly made as
the birth period is rcceded from, not
withstanding the greater relative
amounts Of food called for to make the
gains. (2) The longer that an animal
takes to reach maturity or to attain to
a given weight the greater will be the
amount of lood consumed that is desig-
mated food maintenance. (3) The more
frequent and prolonged and the more
severe the periods of stagnation in
growth are the more is the capacity of
the animal lessened to make growth.
Gains lapid Near Birth Period.
That gains, especially in bovines and
sheep, when the young animals are suit
ably fed, will be most rapid near the
birth period. and that they will grow
less and less as the birth period is re-
ceded from, has been so completely
demonstrated by actual test that it can
not be gai1said; no one disputes such
claim any more. The singular feature is
that more and more food is called for to
make gains as the birth period is re-
ceded from, notwithstanding that the
gains are made less. Two reasons at
least may be assigned for this: One is
that the assimilative overs lose some
thing in their activity as the birth
period is reeeded from. That it is so is
eidenced in the fact that aged persons
gradually shrink in flesh, notwithstand-
ing the considerable quantity of food
that is eaten.
That the longer the term called for
to bring an animal to maturity the
greater will be the cost of the food of
maintenance is self evident. But this
greater cost does not arise simply from
the longer period during which the ami
NAL must be maintained 1t arises in
part also from tho greater cost rela
lively Of the food of maintenance as age
advances. Thus an animal at 36 months
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-08-06
Raising Animals for Meat
By PROFESSOR THOMAS SHAW

will cost more relatively for food of
maintenance than one at IS months. 1t
follows then that the cost of the food
| of maintenance in the former will be
more than twice as much as in the lat
ter.
Stagnation in Growth.
Periods of stagnation in growth, espe-
cially when they occur at an early
period in the life of the animal, hinder
future development in that they take
away the capacity of the animal to
make gains subsequently, as it otherwise
would. This is evidenced in calves that
are stunted in growth during the milk
period from lack of nutrition result
ing from i'll feeding. Thus the loss from
stagnation in growth becomes a double
loss. 1t is first loss in the food Of
maintenance, and second, more or less
of loss of capacity to make increase.
From what has been said, the wisdom
of pushing on animals quickly from
birth to maturity will be apparent, or
at least from birth to the period of
disposal. This, however, applies more
to the arabic farm than to conditions
that are more extensive. Where cattle
and sheep are grown entirely on rough
grazing lands or on lands that produce
but little food in the concentrated form,
as for instance in the form of grain, it
may be more profitable to keep them
for longer period than to buy con-
centrates and feed to them in the hope
of shortening the period called for when
preparing them for the market.
Maturing Too Slowly.
But even on pasture lands it would be
easily possible to mature them too
slowly, and to maintain them too long
before putting them on the market.
Take for instance the range which calls
for four years to mature the animals
that are reared upon it. When it is
called to mind that during the fourth
year the animal will make less increase
than during the second year, notwith-
standing the greater consumption of
food, it would seem advisable to sell at
three rather than four years to those
who purchase such animals in order to
finish them en- the arabic farm. Again,
the ranchmen who maintain wethers on
Western ranges after maturity that they
may simply supply them with wool for
the market, will certainly make more
money by the method that will give
them lambs instead of mature wethers,
as the lambs will be making increase in
flesh while they are growing wool.
On the arabic farm the wiser plan
is to feed more or less of concentrates
to animals that are growing during the
winter season. This may not be prac
ticable with live stock that are grown
under what may be termed extensive
conditions. All these things and many
more should be carefully weighed by
those who grow livestock.

The next weighing put the colored man
s. far ahead that the expert wondered
how it could be. Both herds had good,
running water. Both had plenty of good
timothy ard clover hay Both had all
the good corn they could manage. Was
tho old negro a better feeder than the
college mans
"'It seemed so; but the expert, being
scientifically educated, began looking
for the reason in a scientific way. He
found that the only difference was to
be found in the fact that the crafty old
eolored man had been systematically
mixing alfalfa hay with the ration!
The protein in the alfalfa had been 60
ing into the muscles and bones of the
cattle he fed.
ga good stoclman needed no further
proof as to the value of alfalfa over
timothy and clover. Acting on this
proof, he began working into alfalfa.
He plans to build more silos, and as
soon as he can viii make his feeding
ration one of corn-silage, ear-eorn and
alfalfa hay. This ration is shown by
the tests at Lincoln, Nebraska, to be
the feed that will make beef cheapest. -

Stable Rules

l. The best order in feed is: Water
hay, water again, grain.
2. Never give grain to tired horse
Let him rest and nibble hay for an houl
or two first. Grain in the manger be
fore the horse comes in looks bad.
8. Water the horses as often as pos
sible; but let the horse that comes in hot
drink a few swallows only, until he is
cool.
4. Always water the horse after he
has eaten his hay at night. Do not &C
to bed leaving him thirsty all night
5. Do not forget to salt the horse
once week; or, better yet, keep salt
always before him. He knows best how
I uch he needs.
6. Give bran mash Saturday night
or Sunday noon; and on Wednesday
night also, if work is slack. After a
long day in very cold or wet weather
a hot mash, half bran and half oats,
with a tablespoonful of ginger, will do
the horse good. Put very little salt, if
any, in the mash.
7. If the horse does not eat well, or
slobbers, examine his teeth.
s. Keep a good, deep, dry bed under
the horse while he is in the stable, day
or night, on Sundays especially. The
more he lies down, the longer his legs
and feet will last.
8. In order to do well, the horse
must be kept warm. Give him blanket
on cool nights in late summer or early
fall, and an extra blanket on an extra
cold night in winter.
10. In cold rains do not tie up the
horse 8 tail. The long tail prevents the
water from running down the inside of
his legs, and keeps off current of air
from his belly.
II. Take off the harness, collar and
all, when the horse comes in to feed.
He will rest better without it.
12. Never put horse up dirty or
muddy for the night. At least brush his
legs and belly, and straighten his hair.
13. In hot weather, and in all wealth
ers if the horse is hot, sponge his eyes,
nose, dock, the harness marks, and the
inside of his hindquarters when he first
comes in.
IA. When the horse comes in wet
with rain, first scrape him, then blanket
him, and rub his head, neck, loins and
legs. If the weather is cold put on an
extra blanket in twenty minutes.
Change the wet blanket when the horse
dries. Do not wash the legs. Rub them
dry, or bandage loosely with thick
bandages. 1t is far more important to
have the legs warm and dry than clean.
Is. To prevent scratches, dry the
horse s fetlocks and heels when he comes
in, especially in winter; and rub on a
little glycerne or vaseline before he
goes out in snow or mud.
16. Examine the horses feet when
he comes in, and wash them if he does
not wear pads. If horse in the city
is not shod in front with pads, tar and
oakum, which is the best way, it is alb
solutely necessary to keep his feet soft
by packing them, or by wrapping a wet
piece Of old blanket or carpet around
the foot, or by applying some hoof
dressing or axle oil, inside and out, at
least three times week.
II. Let the horse have chance to
roll as often as possible; it will rest and
refresh him. Give him little clean
earth or piece of sod to eat now and
then; he Graves it, and it is good for lis
stomach and blood
