PROFITABLE TO FEED LAMBS
gin They Will Give Results, Says Nebraska Expert.

Many letters are being received at the Nebraska experiment station ask ing whether or not 1t is profitable to feed lambs at the present high price of feeders.
 If one can get Il margin of 30 cents -on the selling price over the buying price, 1t may be Il profitable transac- tion, Is the answer of the animal hus- bandry section of the experiment. sta ton. Two years ago, when corn was GO cents and alfalfa hay $S, gains on lambs cost SASS per hundred. Last year with feed at the same price, lambs fed heavily on corn made gains at $5.53 per hundred, and those receiving q medium feed of corn made gains costing $4.90 per hundred. As corn will probably bring 70 cents and alfalfa hay Sl0 this winter. 1t is likely gains will cost upwards of six cents pound. Consequently, 50-cent margin be- tween buying and selling price should mean chance for profit to the careful feeder who gets satisfactory gains.

FODDER IS NOT SUFFICIENT
Cannot Be Depended Upon AIone to Carry Stock Through Winter to
 Best Advantage.

Good shock fodder is good roughage to carry stock cattle in winter, but alone 1t is not sufficient. If you have some thrifty shotes to follow the cattle, feed broken ear corn. This pays bet ter than to grind the feed and use corn and cob meal. Experiments at the Illi- nois station show that broken ear corn is practically as good as corn and cob meal from the standpoint of beef pro- duction, while hogs following cattle thus fed. make three to four times as much gain as those following cattle getting corn and cob meal.
 It will pay to use little purchased feed such as cottonseed meal, even at relatively high prices. Don't depend on corn fodder and corn alone to carry your stock cattle to best advantage.
