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
tained may be briefly summarized as
follows:
Calves given a full feed of grain
from November 10 May made more
rapid and cheaper gains. obtained a
higher finish. sold at a higher price
and returned a greater profit fed in a
dry lot than when finished on the pas.
ture.
The full-fed 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
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.
ishing them for market in such con.
dition that they will sell as prime
yearlings should realize that he Is
entering into 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 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
essarlly have lost much of the
bloom" carried at weaving time and
also be entirely unaccustomeu to the
feeds used for production. OF beef in
the corn belt. both of which VIII re
suit in a 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 have learned to eat. Most
excellent results In starting them can
be secured from 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, goou. bright clover
or alfalfa hay and corn silage are most
useful. After they have learned tC
eat grain. the expensive feeds such al

Next Monday, Nov. ODD is the
date set by the City Commissions
ers for the reelection OF sew
erage Board to continue the work
OF creating sewerage district
and submitting the question to the
voters of New iberia for their
ratification or rejection which
will 'be within the next sixty DAYS.
The election as far as the Board
is concerned is only matter of
form as no one other than the
present Board as constituted have
submitted their name. The pers
onel of the Board is as follows ::
Edward L. Estorge, Chas L. Pro-
vost. Chas. Gougenheim, Jules
Dreyfus, Fritz Dietlein and La
card King. 1t is foregone con
clusion that the sewerage tax will
be carried as soon as our people
understand that the tax to be i'm
posed for the work of putting in
the sewerage is simply a contin-
uance of the present electric light
and water tax that they are now
paying which will expire in 1915
The Board has worked diligently
and lntelligently and we are more
than satisfied the contract when
awarded will be such that the
people of New iberia will be Civ
en- the best system that can be
secured for the outlay. There ie;
one thing certain if mistake is
made it will be unintentional as
he Board consists of our most rep
business men.

Mr.. !. H. Middleton Of New


Orleans arrived here the early
part of the week for the purpose
of re-esta blishing a branch in New
Iberia to the State Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
1t will be remembered the late
MIR. Geo. NJ. Robertson devoted
many years Of his life in this
laudable work and he was ably
assisted by many Of our fellow
citizens, both men and women
who have the interest OF the uutluo
brute at heart. After the death
of the president of the local
branch. no more interest was TAX
en- in the Society and it passed
out Of the recollection of many.
On Thursday afternoon upon the
invitation Of Mr.. Middleton, a
number of ladies and gentlemen
collected at the Gables Hotel and
new Society was formed with
the following officers and men,
bers enrolled: NJ. w. Fisher,
president; Mayor H. S. Sealy,
vlce-president; Mrs. George NJ.
Robertson, I'd vice-president and
Jules Dreyfus, secretary and
treasurer; DR.. R. R. Diggs, w. l..

made the small sum of soc and it
IS the intention Of the present
members to work up a large en-
rollment for the next meeting
which will be held in the parlors
OF the Hotel Frederic at 4 p. NJ
on Tuesday. Nov. Both. New Ibe-
ria needs a Society of this nature
to look after infractions of the
law relative to the treatment of
dumb animals. From time to
time literature will also be cir
cnlated among the children with
the object of intoxicating into their
little minds the kindness the dumb
brute deserves at the hand of their
owners and thus they will all be-
come better citizens in the fr+,-~o

THE BAY CITY'S GREAT

with a great flourish Of trumpet:
the arrival by Liner Mongolia OF

He belongs we are told to one
of the Oldest and wealthiest fam
lilies in Russia, Riabouchinski bv

farmers who farm farmers. All

city of Moscow, NEAR WHICH

But what interests us mostly,
is his mission over here. He s
come to this Gland of the brave
and home Of the free. F" prepared
to spend $20,000,O00! $1O,OOO.-
600 for arms and ammunition and
$1O,OOO,0OO for machinery to en-
large the ammunition factory
that he and his brothers are run
ming near Moscow in the interest
OF the government! Great man!
Great mission! What a model
world this would be if we had
more Ria bouchinskies! Possibly
these very people are some of the
ROYALTY Of Europe who bought
millions Of our fertile acres in
the middle West last winter. and
further more, if he remains long
in California he's sure to fall
Under the spell of that delightful
country, and spend some more
millions in acquiring territory
there! Talk about desirable cit
liens from other countries. This
is the kind we need! None of
your pauper labor, nor pauper
goods for US! We want men of
affairs.
