change his methods. Instead of a loss
there can and should be profit. The
gain to the state would be enormous.
The first thing to do is to feed. In
some parts of the state the live stock
depend upon the range the whole year
and there is bound to be losses. There
are few if any places in the state
where stock can be carried thru with
out loss, unless it is hand fed some
during the winter Live stock that
makes gain tho it be small, will give
better after results than if allowed to
lose in live weight. Liberal feeding
makes milk and meat production more
profitable, and increases the value of
all young stock There is no money
in half feeding. Instead of selling
his hogs and cattle to be fed out, the
farmer himself should feed them out.
He instead Of the big feeder should
have the profit. A few steers, sheep,
or hogs fed during the winter, on
every farm will greatly increase the
prosperity of the state.
Lots of salt will help keep the live
stock in a healthtul condition and
cause them to make the greatest use
Of the food The water must be a
bundant and wholesome Contamin-
ated water often found in sloughs and
ponds should not be used if possible
to avoid it. This is important.
Protection from the severe storms
and winds of winter should be provid-
ed. as much as possible. This can of
ten be done at small cost and has
wonderful influence III preventing loss
and in Increasing the profits.
The little things should receive
more attention this year than ever
before, since stock values and the need
uf animals products are Increasing
and every effort should be eNert"d Z"

Reducing Losses of
Live Stock In Winter
By X. W, Clark

By r. W. Clark
Extension Specialist in Animal Hus-
bandry Colorado Agricultural College
Il is customary for many stockmen
and farmers not to feed their animals
much during the winter months. When
they are lust pulled thru the aver
age loss per mature animal Is about
two-hundred pounds. This along with
the cost Of feed makes a loss of about
forty dollars per head Furthermore
when animals get in a run down c"udl-
ton they are not to withstand disease
or ordinary weather conditions and
year Of good feeding is required to
bring those that survive back to pro-
fitable production. The losses caused
by disease, decrease of live weight,
and under production in Colorado is
not less than S40,0O0,0 100000 year.
1t is avoidable and should be prevent
ed. The main reason that the farmer
does not raise more live stock and rea-
lize substantial profit is because his
feeding is not liberal.
During the winter of 1917 and 1913
the Colorado Experiment Station fed
sixty steers in six lots. They were
put in the feed lot at Slo.75 per hun
dred and sold from $1,000 to Sl7.23 per
hundred The cost of 100 lbs. gam
varied from 5000 to s20.62, the aver
ace being Sl6.6S. The lot that sold
for $l723 per hundred. made gain for
$lO.04 per hundred. The profit per
head, including labor, varied from
So to $500. The idea of the eX-
pertinent was to test ratious, but 1t
shows what can be done in securing
profits
The figures here presented show
that the farmer and stockman should
