bran and oats may be dropped from
the ration and the more concentrated
feeds such as corn, cotton seed or
linseed meal increased according to
appetite, and fed in connection with
good roughage during the winter.
This method Of treatment will re-
suit in an increase of approximately
two pounds per head daily for six
months. When high grade calves are
given a full feed during this period
on such rations they will sell from rs
cents to so cents per hundred below
the prices paid for cattle Of equal
quality and type on the central mar
kets and will require from three to
four months of full feeding to make
them prime.
The following report Of the expert
ments shows a decided advantage in
favor of dry-lot feeding.
The cattle used were high-grade
Hereford steers. The dry lots were
not well adapted to summer feeding,
for the sheds were low and therefore
hot and the flies could not be kept
out OF them. The pasture consisted
OF nine acres of mixed timothy and
clover. which furnished more grass
than the cattle could consume from
the middle Of May to the middle Of
August.
In each Of the tests the dry-lot
cattle made the greatest gain during
the first month, but there was a de-
cided decline during the next two
months owing to their becoming fat.
ter and the condition OF the weather.
The cattle In the pasture made the
smallest gain during the first month
due, of course, to the change from
dry lot to pasture and the decrease in
the amount of grain they would eat.
The steers in the dry lot made a
gain Of 1874 pounds in excess Of those
on pasture during the first month Of
summer feeding, but the second month
the difference was only 80 pounds and
the third month those on pasture
gained So pounds over those in the
dry lot.
This shows that In the superiority
Of the dry-lot method the feeding was
due entirely to the behavior Of the
steers the first month, after which the
pasture was superior.
The results Of three months feeding
show difference of TAI pounds gain
in favor Of the dry-lot cattle during
the three years, which was sufficient
to overcome all the other advantages
of pasture feeding when considered In
connection with the added bloom"
ana higher market price of the dry
lot ~ the time of marketing.
Our conclusions were that II It
were possible to turn them out early
in the season before the grass starts
and continue the feed used in the
dry lot SO that the steers would be
accustomed to the grass gradually.
then there, would be an advantage of
dry.lot feeding In the summer, except
for that which is due to the premium
trade for dry-fed cattle on the central
markets, caused by the general belief
that carcasses from such cattle are
superior to those from CRASHED ami
mails.

CBy PROF. J. II. SKINNER)
Several years ago Professor Cochel,
who was then my associate in the de-
partment Of animal husbandry. assist
ed me in an experiment in finishing
yearling calves in dry lots as COM
pared to the pasture. The results OBJ
tanned may be briefly summarized as
follows:
Calves given a full feed Of grain
from November 10 May made more
rapid and cheaper gains. obtained q
higher finish, sold at higher price
and returned a greater profit fed in a
dry lot than when fir shed on the pas
ture.
The fulfilled calves when turned on
grass shrunk so much during the first
ten days that it required from two to
three weeks to bring them back to
their original weight.
Steers fed in the dry lot consumed
a greater amount Of concentrates
than while on the pasture.
The beef of the future must come
from the farms Of the middle West,
and the feeder who, in the fall Of the
year, buys calves with view to fin
fishing them for market in such con-
dition that they will sell as prime
yearlings should realize that he is
entering into a feeding proposition
that will require from nine to twelve
months for its completion.
In order to make the greatest finan'
cial success from the venture he
should select calves showing pro-
nounced beef types, quality, early ma
turity, large capacity for feed and the
milk fat" which has been secured by
having sucked the dam until placed
in the feed lot.
The calves should, II possible. be
taught to eat grain before weaving In
order that there may be no loss in
weight or condition when required to
depend entirely upon themselves for
sustenance. These two factors are
only under control Of the man who
finishes calves of his own raising and
who should logically follow the pro-
duction Of yearling beef in the corn
belt.
For him who makes a business Of
feeding cattle rather than producing
them, the western ranges must fur
nish the material for the feed lot,
which means that the calves will nee
essarily have lost much Of the
bloom" carried at weaving time and
also be entirely unaccustomed to the
feeds used for production. of beef in
the corn belt, both Of which will re
suit in q longer feeding period where
prime yearling beef is produced.
When calves are first placed IN the
feed lot they should be given the most
palatable feed that can be obtained
until they Lave learned to eat. Most
excellent results in starting them can
be secured from a grain mixture Of
shelled corn bran and oats mixed in
equal proportions by weight. adding
one part of linseed meal to ten parts
of the grain mixture.
For roughage, good. bright clover
or alfalfa hay and corn silage are most
useful. After they have learned to
cat grain, the expensive feeds such as

A MONG the coats displayed for wear

USE OF alfalfa
FOR HORSE FEED

Alfalfa is a splendid horse feed, but
must be fed with judgment and care.
Because of its palatability, mature
horses are likely to eat too much OF

average farm horse at hard work is
allowed to eat much more alfalfa and

alfalfa or other hay and about one

GET VOTES
AND WIN A
DIAMOND
The New Special Prize
Period Starts
Today
BONUS PLAN
ALSO ANNOUNCED
Contest for Times
Trips Grows
Warm

The next two weaks OF the Times
Pacific Coast Tfnnscontinental cam
paign will be the most important
period of the competition. There
are two distinct reasons why every
young lady woh anticipates winning
trip to Frisco should put forth
eevry effort to pile up her votes be-
tween Monday, May 10, and Satur-
day. May %.
The first reason Is that the largest
vote offer OF the entire campaign
will be in effect. For every club of
SIS in subscriptions turned in be-
tween the above dates. candidates
will receive a bonus ballot for 100,-
600 votes, plus the votes allowed by
the regular vote schedule. This
offer will remain in effect for the
next two weeks, when 1t will de-
crease TO $4,000 votes with every
club Of SIS, good until June 3. when
there will be a further reduction TO
$4,000 bonus votes.
The present bonus offer will alb
soluteIy be the highest offer made
In the campaign. II can readily be
seen, that. in order to receive the
maximum amount OF votes, IL Is
necessary to get busy" at once. In
order to receive tn extra bonus bal
lot, campaigners must have a club
OF SIS in subscriptions. turned in at
one time. Should a candidate have
$40 In subscriptions, he would re-
ceive a bonus Of 100000 votes, plus
the vote sallowed by the regular
schedule and 5000 votes for the re-
naming SO should It be one-year
subscription. Ten dollars turned In
one day and five dollars the next
day would not receive bonus bal
lot.
TIE second reason why every can.
didate should find the coming two
weeks the most important in the
campaign Is, because another great
special prize will be offered for the
best work accomplished while the
maximum bonus vote offer is in eff.
feet. The campaigner who turns in
the most money for subscriptions
between the dates mentioned, will
received 800 solitaire diamond

selected and is OF a blue-white
quality. Girls, here is your chance
10 have that solitaire you have been
wanting for a long time. Votes
turned in for this special prize will,
OF course. count for the trips TO be

an inducement for hearty work for
