One experiment that Is of particu-
lar, interest Is on the Development
of Breeding Heifers." Three years
ago, we took eighty Hereford heifer
calves Forty of these We fed the
best way possible, and forty we fed
the way an ordinary farmer feeds
his breeding stock This half viii
recalve again this. spring, and the
second half viii calve this spring for
the first time at three years old. The
object Of this experiment Is TO see
whther we get enough growth In the
developed breeding cows, and enough
more and better calves to pay for ex-
ira feeding. To see this and other
live stock experiments viii be worth a
trip to Hays, April 10, 1913.
