PRACTICAL FEED LOT NOTES

stead Of Milking With Feed-liavs
Regular Feeding Time.

A good plan IL to keep salt where
cattle can get at It when they want Il
instead Of mixing with the feed. A
steer generally knows what he wants
better than the feeder himself.
Always feed fattening cattle to the
minute as near as possible. To keep
them waiting an hour after the usual
feeding time causes q loss Of weight
Why IL It that 30 many locate their
feed lots In the lowest ground ON the
farm?
Now that the big western ranges are
passing away the supply OF beef for
the future must come from the farms.
Better get ready to supply the de-
mands.
Hogs, sheep and cattle may be
forced to live upon the same rations,
but they viii not all thrive alike.
