FERENT FEED.
DRY FEED IS ESSENTIAL
These Cattle Will Do Well In Louis.
lana If Handled Prop.
erly.

Success or failure with the thou
sands OF head of Texas cattle that
have been brought into Louisiana will
largely depend or the methods of
handling they receive for the first six
to twelve msnths. They come from
a higher altitude and country Of
much lighter rainfall They. have
lived on dry, strong grass, which con-
tains much less water per 100 pounds
than do the grasses of their new pas.
lures.
The change is certain to affect them
and the succulent grasses will prob
ably cause looseness Of the bowels.
They must be carefully handled dur.
ing the period Of acclimatizatiou, or
serious. damage may result. Young
stock (yearlings and calves will usu.
ally suffer less than older animals.
Careful attention is particularly
necessary with tho cattle which are
being moved from Texas this fall.
Winter upon us, and the winter
season, even in the South, makes
feeding necessary, even with native
stock. This is still more true with
the Texas cattle which are spending
their first winter in the State. To
lessen the severity OF acclimatization,
plenty Of dry feed, such as hay, straw,
slower, or access to corn stalk and
velvet bean fields, should be given
When spring comes on, the cattle
should not be forced to subsist al
once on grass alone, but should be
given some such dry feed in addition
Young cattle should by all meant
receive good care. They should gel
plenty of dry roughase and some con
centrate in addition in order that they
may develop well. One pound Of cot
ton seed meal or two. to two and one
half pounds Of velvet beans or veive'
bean meal daily, with plenty Of hay
| should carry them through In goot
condition.
With an abundance Of hay, straw o.
corn stover, native cows can be win
tered we'll with the addition Of one
