Experiments Show That Cattle Thrive
Better When Not Confined.
There has been some difference of
opinion among cattle feeders as to the
relative merits Of open shed feeding
and feeding in inclosed quarters. Some
Of the leading experiment stations of
the country have recently conducted
experiments along this line. At the
Missouri station steers fed in a barn
made a daily gain Of IL pounds, while
another lot of the same age and breed
fed in an open shed made a daily gain
Of 10 pounds. The same lots of steers
gained so pounds daily for each bushel
Of corn when fed in an open shed and
only 40 pounds when fed in the barn.
The steers fed in the open shed ate
1913 pounds of digestible matter per
pound of gain, while the barn fed
steers ate 11.3 pounds Of digestdble
matter per pound.
At the Pennsylvania station a com
parison Of barn and open shed feeding
has been made,a Both lots Of steers

Kindness Produces Better Results

MANY valuable animals are spoiled

incapable Of training him, for the
horse is endowed by the Creator with
rare intelligence. says DR.. w. E. Con-

care and proper training by being used
with kindness and good judgment: at
the same time he must be given to un-

excited, he is to obey.

tahon with him to a certain degree.
