Cost Greater
For Grain Fed
Beef Steers

Experiments are being carried on
company to ascertain the best method
of feeding steers from the profitable
point of view. Some two steers were
selected for fattening and strict meas
uring of rations we're kept. One of
the animals was fattened entirely on
hay while the other was grain and
cotton-seed. Tuesday both animals
slaughtered at the abattoir at the home
ranch and 1t Is declared by those that
have inspected the meat that 1t is
impossible to select the grain fed one
from the one fattended on hay. Both
are firm and the meat of the hay fed
of the one fattened on grain.
From the profitable side of the ex-
pertinent 1t is found that 1t cost $1F
less to fatten a steer with hay han
with which to reckon by those en-
gagged in the livestock industry When
II comes to marketing beef. the but
chers will pay no more for a grain
fed animal that one fattened on hay.
II has always been claimed by farm
ers that hay raised in Carson Valley
has much more nutriment than that
raised in lower attitudes. This no
doubt has a great deal to do with the
high standard of hay fed steers and
the favorable results of the erper-
ments carried on by the Dangberg
company.
Many farmers have been OF the opin-
ion that more money was to be made

The Avansino still is a mere nina

operated near Sutro by Vedoli. Vedoli's
boiler, which is also part of the col

approximately forty gallons. And the

doubtful If the barrels and the various
