REGULAR HOURS FOR CATTLE FEEDING
Cattle in an Illinois Feeding Lot.

(By w. l.. BLIZZARD. Department OF
Animal Husbandry, Oklahoma AerictIl-
tural College)
The care of cattle on feed is an i'm
portant factor. In feeding it should
be remembered that fattening cattle
soon become accustomed to looking for
their feed at certain hours in the day.
and If it is not supplied at the regular
times the cattle become uneasy and
worry. AS soon as the fattening proc-
ess begins the cattle should be fed
at certain hours and in the same way.
This cannot vary without some detri-
ment to the cattle. The extent of in
jury. of course, will depend upon the
frequency and extent of irregulari-
ties.
To get the most out of ones feed
and cattle requires more than appli-
cation OF rules, no matter how good
these may be. A veteran feeder puts
1t thus: mo man will ever be a sue
cessful feeder unless he takes brains
into the feed lot with him" Reeu-
larity OF feeding, kindness and pains
taking attention are among the most
important factors of feeding.
The animals must be comfortable at
all times. They must come to each
meal with a keen appetite and 20
away from an empty trough satisfied.
In the early stages light feeding
should be the rule, more especially in
regard to the grain ration.
The quietness of manner of the feed
er is also an important consideration.

The feeder should not rush up to the
steers, soaring them, but should. rath
er, approach the cattle with the great
est care and consideration. getting
them up as quietly as possible. Pas.
lures for cattle in quiet, secluded
places are more valuable for fattening
cattle than are those adjacent to pub.
lie roads or adjoining pastures where
horses or breeding cattle are kent.
Cattle soon respond to kind treatment
ana VIII feed better and make more
RAPID and economical gains.
As to the number of cattle that
should be run together in the same
feed lot, it is customary to run them
in droves of 100. There is no doubt
however, that except for convenience
IN caring for the cattle, smaller droyes
would be advisable, but they should be
at least carefully assorted as to age
and weight.
The best method of watering is TO
keep wSter before them at all times
IL one is to follow mature. this is the
ideal system, as undoubtedly an ami.
mars thirst is it's guide as to when IL
requires water. In whatever way wa
ter Is supplied, it is important that
they receive water whenever thew
need it, and before any suffering from
thirst is experienced. A system that
does this with the least labor will be
satisfactory. If cattle are warm, they
should not be allowed water. as it win
cause securing.
