slty of Nebraska and the bureau OF
animal industry, United States depai t.
ment of agriculture. Similar studies
are being conducted In Iowa, Missouri
Illinois and Indiana, and preliminary
reports on the work In these states
will be forthcoming shortly.
Feeding Plays Minor Part.
The greater part of the Nebraska
cattle covered In the survey work OF
1850 made their gains at cost of
from 20 to 80 cents per pound, with
extremes ranging from IL to 4S cent?,
while of the cattle covered the cext
year the greater part. made their gains
at from IS to 80 cents per pound, with
an extreme range Of from 8 to 90
cents. While economical feeding is
shown to be the major factor In the
cost Of fattening after the steer Is
bought, the investigation substantiates
the fact that feeding usually plays a
minor part In determining profit or
loss, and that buying right and sell
ing right are more often the control
ling factors.
The cattle in question were bought
at about the same figures In both years
Of the Investigation. In 191S-19 three
of the droves were bought at between
Sc and 81, but most of the cattle COW
cred in the study went into the lot ut
between So and $12. or the Fl droves
covered by the detailed cost-account-
ing method, IL cost between $40 and
81. The weight Of the feeders varied
rather widely, averaging about $50
pounds with but few over 1000 pounds
or under 500.
Feed, the most important factor Of
the cost sof fattening the steer after
purchase, was found to constitute
from 70 to 90 per cent Of all the ex-
pense involved In handling the steers
after being put on feed.
Wide Variation In Cost Factors.
The wide variation in the factors
affecting cost was reflected in equally
wide variation in the total cost Of the
finished cattle. During both OF the
years Of the study the cost Of the cat
tie covered in the sui vs. ranged from
about SO to $50 per hundred fattened.
the average for 191S-19 being $14.91.
and for 1920, $13.s3. The droves
covered by the cost-accounting method
showed much narrower range, from
so to $18 with an average Of $3.50.
: The financial return varied widely,
ranging from $50 profit or more per
head. reported for 40 head in 191819,
to, $50 or more per head loss, reported
for 1855 head IN 1880 and for over
200 head in 1920. AS has been
stated above, on the average there was
loss incurred In handling cattle each
year. reaching s14.57 per head as the
average loss of the IDS cattle on the
detailed route in 10000. However,

LATE MOLTERS ARE FAVORED
Hens That Undergo Transformation
During July and August Are Not
y Best layers-

It has been observed that the best
layers usually mott during the latter
part of September or the months Of
October, November and December.
Hens that molt during July and
August are not the profitable hens, as
they rest for three or four months
while they grow their new feathers
and will not start In laying until the
following February or March. These
hens are not the kind to use either in
the breeding pen or the laying pen. In
some cases. the early Matched pullets
Of the year previous will start molt-
ing during June, and little judgment
should be exercised In such cases. A
check should be made with other tests.

Investigations Conducted in Me-

ton in Figures.
FEEDING FEalLOUS VENTURE
Buying Right and Selling Right Are
Controlling Factors-Some Farm
ers Carried Animals Through
With Profit.

According to cost of production In
vestigatiQns> conducted by the United
States department Of agriculture In
cooperation with the University Of
Nebraska in parts of Nebraska during
the past two years, the average cost
of corn-fed cattle laid down at mar
ket was $14.91 per hundredweight for
10. $13.S3 for 3.041 cattle In survey
study during the winter Of 1920,
and an average Of $3.50 for an addi-
tional 100 cattle upon which detailed
cost figures were secured during the
same winter. The costs upon some
droves were found to vary widely from
these average figures, with the major
portion going to market the first win
ter (191S-19) carrying an expense bill
Of from $13 to $1S hundredweight,
while In 1920 the costs of most Of
the cattle were between $11 and SIT.
The facts thus far brought out by the
investigation would indicate that dur
ing the past two years, In the district
covered by the survey, cattle feeding
was precarlous venture, more likely
to be Improbable than not. There
was an average loss per head Of $317
on the cattle for which records were
obtained in 191S-19, and of $1,000 and
$14.57 on two groups for which rec
ords were obtained in $4,000.
These figures are the results Of the
first two years work Of a five-year
study of the basic factors Of the cost
Of fattening cattle, which is being con-

There are various ways In which
seed corn can be prepared for drying.
The ears may be hung on strings Of
binder Irvine or cord. Wire racks may
also be used. The farmer, howeser,
may exercise his own ingenuity as to
what method he will use, but should
be certain that the corn is stored in
a place where II will not be exposed
to damp atmosphere or rats or other
destructive pests.
