YOUNG STEERS FOR FEEDING
Two.Year-Olds Make Best Feeders for
Average Farmer - Nei0hbors
Ought to Work Together.

It is highly important that the
young steers selected for feeding are
of the right sort. With the present
prices of feedstuffs and labor, econ
omy is necessary to eliminate loss and
waste If the feeding operations are
to be profitable.
Scrub feeding cattle are rapidly be-
coming a thing Of the past. 1t is
money out of the pocket to put good
feed into ''robber" steer. The pres
emit demand is for feeds Of high quail
ity. A steer with low, blocky, wide,
round body, with short legs and wide
back, with broad muzzle and short
head, large roomy middle, showing
ample room for consumption OF large
quantities OF food and with fine thick
soft hair has every indication OF being
a profitable feeder. $500
Two-year-olds make the best feeders
for the average farmer. Such cattle
can seldom be beaten when it comes
to rapid and economical profits.
Three-year-olds, provided they. be pur-
chased reasonably, are sometimes
used to advantage but as q rule two
year-olds make more rapid gains than
do the older ones. In selecting feed
ing steers it should be kept in mind
that uniform lot of cattle always
takes the eye Of the buyer and sells
at a fancy price. Thus, you see the
necessity of feeding steers of like
shape, color and breed. To secure
this kind of steers purebred beef
males should be used. Neighbors in
a corn, beef and hog district ought to
cooperate and follow similar lines, if
best results are to be secured.
After selecting the right sort OF
steers for feeding purposes the next
point is, to feed. them OF as quickly
as possible.

FEED THE WINTER LAYERS
Output Of Eggs In, Winter Depends
Upon Proper Feeding Of Hens.
Protein ID Essential.

TO turn out q big supply Of finished
products factory must be supplied
with plenty of raw material. For q
large output of finished eggs, then It
il necessary to furnish the EGG FAC
tory raw material with which to make
them.
The following suggestions for sup
plying this material In q disable form
are offered by 3. P. Clayton OF the
Mississippi Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College:
One OF the first essentials IN winter
egg production is healthfulness. Green
feed In some form contributes to
health and to the production of eggs.
Oats, wheat, rye, barley, rape, kale,
alfalfa or any other winter crop will
be good for the hens to Craze. Where
hens are kept in such small pens that
feed cannot be grown in the runs, clip
collards or kale from the garden and
feed all the hens will eat daily.
| Protein in some form is essential to
egg PRODUCTION. Milk is not only pala-
table to the hens, but supplies that
needed protein and helps to make the
eggs. Clabber, skim-milk and butter
milk are all good, but for best results
| feed the same form Of milk every day.
The milk can be fed by moistening the
mash feed with It, or by placing it In
pans before the hens and allowing
them to drink at will.
Cottonseed meal has proven TO be a
great egg producer. 1t can be mixed
with wheat bran and cornmeal, as fol-
lows: Is parts cottonseed meal, IS
parts cornmeal and 40 parts wheat
bran. Another good mixture is cotton
seed meal, 20 parts, cornmeal 80 parts,
wheat bran 80 parts and shorts 10
parts. Stir well and place in hoppers
in dry place and allow the hens to
eat as often as they will. !
In addition to this, feed grain morn
ings and evenings. A good mixture OF
grain feed for farm fowls is, equal
parts OF oats, wheat and corn chops.
Feed all grain in straw or leaves to
induce scratching. II fed Gil they
need In vessels hens do not exercise
enough.

from It that no barn odors can be
detected in the house, and should be
on well-drained land which slopes from
the house.
The principal purpose in building a
dairy house is to provide place
whore dairy products may be handled
apart from anything else. To carry
out this idea 1t Is necessary to divide
the interior Of the building SO that
the utensils do not have to be washed
in the same room where the milk is
handled. The idea Of absolute clean
illness must always be kept in mind:
therefore there should be no unnec-
essary hedges or rough surfaces on
which dirt may lodge. ventilators are
necessary to keep the air In the milk
room fresh and free from all odors
