FLOYD SELLS BABY BEEF
To DALLAS PACKING CO.
RECEIVES = CENTS POUND FOR
FIFTY HEAD CATTLE FED
On ENSILAGE.
Believes This Branch of Industry
Offers Farmers An Opportunity
To Get Away From the
One Crop Idea.

c. NJ. Cook, buyer for the Arm
strong Packing company of Dallas,
was in the city Thursday afternoon
and bought the ID. D. Floyd ensi-
lage fed baby beef. The price paid
was cents per pound. which ought
to make the cattle bring something
like $50 each There are fifty
head of young cattle in the herd and
Mr.. Floyd has had them on ensilage
for a little more than six months.
He bought the cattle off the Fort
Worth market, paying an average of
s2S a head.
The cattle will be shipped to DIAL
las Saturday. Mr.. Cook says better
results could have been secured with
better grade of cattle. Something
like half the number were well bred
cattle while the others show some
signs of inferior breeds. There are
a few that might top the market
but the herd as a whole is considered
| we'll sold at 8 cents.
In speaking of ensilage fed cattle
Mr. Cook said there was no allow
ances made between them and meal
and hull fed stuff, except a few
pounds of shrinkage. He believes
the silo is the best money maker a
| farmer can have If he will go to the
| trouble of planting the right kind
! of feed stuff to fill it with. He
doubts If it is wise to plant little
cane or something on the poorest
land on the farm and let it get
| rank with weeds before being cut for
| the silo. He would advise farmers
| to make use of the very best land
on the place to plant his ensilage
and put up only first class stuff In
| the silo. Corn and cane make the
best ensilage, according to Mr.,
| Cook.
Mr.. Floyd paid cents per pound
| for his stocker calves and in pre-
pairing them for the market got the
| advantage of the l cent on each
| pound at the time of buying as well
as the added weight of about 300
| pounds to the head. He expects to
plant ensilage again this year and
this fall will undertake to feed loo
head If he gets sufficient ensilage
1t is the best way in the world to
market a feed crop.
