BLUEGRASSFATTENsSTOC
PASTURE AREA CAN BE USED
PRoFITABLY.
BY F. B. Mumford, Dean Of College OF
Agriculture, University Of
Missouri.

Missouri has a greater area in grass
than in any other single farm crop.
The profitable utilization OF, pastures
is therefore one of the most important
economic problems of the average
farmer. In the past the farmers Of
this state have fattened large mum
'bers of high-class cattle on bluegrass
pasture. Many farmers SELL continue
this practice. The Missouri agricul-
tural experiment station has conduct
ed extended investigations and has
demonstrated that the fattening of
cattle on bluegrass pasture is one of
the best means of utilizing pastures.
Cattle cannot be successfully fin
ished for the market on grass alone.
The most common practice among
farmers is to feed grain to the cattle
on bluegrass pasture. In selecting
cattle for ~fattening on grass it has
; e found that 2-year-old cattle are
more satisfactory than yearlings. The

Like a flash, Valiant stopped, caught
the shivering thing by the scruff. and
as its swapping jaws grazed his thumb,
dropped it through the open window
behind him: Sanctuary" quoth he,
and banged the shutter to.
At the same instant, as the place
overlooked with a pandemonium of
nosing leaping hounds, he saw the
golden chestnut refined sharply down
among the ragged box-rows, with a
sham sfaced though brazen knowledge
that the girl who rode it had seen.
She sat moveless, her head high,
one hand on the hunters foam-fecked
neck, and their glances met like
crossed swords. The look stirred
something vague and deep within him.
For an unforgettable instant their
eyes held each other, in a gaze rigid,
challenging, almost defiant; then it
broke and she turned to the rest of
the party squirting in a g~alloping zig
gag: a genialfaced man of middle age
In khaki who sat his horse like a.
cayalryman, a younger n with a
reckless dark face and straight black
hair, and following these a half-dozen
youthful riders of both sexes, one of
the lads heavily plastered with mud
from a wet cropper, and the girls
chiefly gasps and giggles.
The elder of the two men pulled up
beside the leader, his astonished eyes
sweeping the house-front. with, its
open blinds, the wisp of smoke curling
