weather favored the 1920 fair. On &C
count of the season being an expen-
sive one to hold fairs the profits
were not large. He was in favor Of

it cost. He urged the stock men to
meet and discuss the premium list

fed his steers corn silage, cottonseed
meal and straw has made money or
at least has lost the least.
A long time ago the Blue Grass
region thought that II you fed cattle
on silage during the winter It would
not craze good during the summer.
Where you feed cottonseed meal IN
the winter, II takes a little while
longer to get the steer to gain on
grass. A test was made with one
bunch feeding with shelled corn, straw
and cottonsed meal which gained as
much as those fed with silage and the
cattle went on grass weighing about
the same. The silage fed steer put on
gain six or seven times cheaper than
those that did not get It. Two out Of
three years the steer. that did not get
silage gained getter on grass than
those that did. In one year those that
got silage made better profit than
the others. We tried feeding one
bunch on cottonseed meal and silage
and turned another bunch on grass
then brought them back and finished
with the previous ration. The little
fellows that were we'll bred were
ready for the second fall market and
those that were not had to be taken
back and fed another five months to
be ready. If a man has well bred
calf he ought to get market In eigh-
teen to twenty-four months. 1t no
where pays to breed anything that is
not good. This state needs to feed
cattle. Western Kentucky needs to
feed cattle. Western Kentucky has
whipped its soil to meet expenses
The western cattle are all straight
and pure bred sires are the cause OF
this. 1t Is is not the big raw bone steer
that counts, it is the low down, deer
compact steer and the kind we can
get for q very little money. The pure
bred will increase two grades over the
scrub on each grade is worth 80 cents
per hundredweight or 60 cents on the
two grades. The average bull will
get forty calves per year which would
pay for itself the first year. ! think
this movement the best ever started in
Kentucky and believe we are going to
follow it up and get rid of the scrub
altogether. We want to feed to a
profit and with pure bred stock eKn-

New York. - The massed array of

very good musical comedy of the sort
where no expense is spared in the
chorus effects. Simple Indians and
pioneers from the Canadian forests

nautical division from the good ship

There's terrible shock awaiting
any visitor to the city from far away
who goes down to see the excitement
in the stock exchange these days.
We've grown so accustomed to think
ing of ID as place Of hectic clamor-
ings and chaos in which coats and
collars are torn asunder that 1t is
sort of like stepping into the hush of
a library to go into the exchange these
days. The brokers have taken to
checkers to keep awake, some of them,
while others spend the time compar-
ing golf records. Some livelier souls
discovered that dice are helpful In
willing away the silent hours, but the
governors reminded them that gamb-
ling is prohibited - Of course = with

Thersl nothing else to do. The fren-
zied upblic refused to become frenzied
rightskpw about stocks. SO do the
brokers. The only excitement the
floor has seen in several days - or
pretty nearly weeks - took place the
other morning when one Of the youth
full members conceived a happy
thought of livening up new ticker
arrangement. 1t is transparent globe
Of water, with the ticker running back
Of it, the numerals being so magnified
by the water that they can be read
twenty feet away. 1t looked so much
like a goldfish bowl that the lightsome
one dropped some pretty little fishes

just about like the U. s. Senate during

PROPER CARE Is
NECESSARY TO PROFIT
IN STOCK BREEDING
State Experiment Expert Addresses
Cattle Men On Proper Care
And Feeding Of Live
Stock.

How farmers Of the state may save
from $5,000,000 to $10,00O,O0O annual
ly through the proper care of stover
and feeding livestock was discussed
by Professor e. S. Good, assistant d.
rector of the State Experiment Sta
ton, Kentucky University College Of
Agriculture in an address to farmers
and breeders at the Bourbon Stock
Yards. Prof. Goods talk was given
in connection with the Farmers Bet
ter Sire Sale, June end, to be con-
Quoted by The Kentucky Pure Bred
Livestock association and the Louis
vile Livestock Exchange, at which 200
pure bred registered bulsl will be sold
at auction.
The address of Prof. Good follows:
81 am one of those who believe
Kentucky should have more cattle, a
larger number of head Of livestock
have been in this game quite num-
Der of years and 4 can remember the
time when the bullock went to the
market weighing 1900 pounds, then
after q few years, came down to 400
pounds. No one thought of putting a
steer on the market weighing less
than 1400 pounds, no we are getting
them to a much smaller weight, de-
veloping quality and in order to do it,
must have better sires. In olden times
in Illinois, we always fattened cattle
with sixty bushels of corn and ton
of clover hay, but a man feeding that
way today would go broke. If we are
going to be successful in feeding
steers, we must learn how to cut the
cost A man who feeds an unlimited
amount of corn is going to come out
of the little end of the horn. | want
, to say to you that Kentucky loses an
nualiy q great deal in livestock by moi
conserving the roughs. The losses by
not taking proper care of stover is
estimated anywhere from five million
to ten millions or in other words, one
fourth of the stover in Kentucky Is
lost. If you leave it out on the fields
the rain causes a loss, and If you wal
untilspring to feed it you get yer!
little out Of 1t. If 1t is cut with thu
corn and put into the silo, the steer
eats all of it and thus it is conserved
If we are going to feed, we must have
ration. The old method of feeding cat
tie was full feeding of silage, full
feeding of corn, of cotton seed meat
and etc. The next thing was tina
clover hay mas not necessary whel
feeding heterogeneous feeds as cotton
seed meal. and with this, it can b
eliminated. If you have a SECOND
growth, II Is all right to include this
but 1t is not necessary to give clover
hay to the steer if you are feeding cat
tonseed meal, save the clover for thu
Young. Next thing in feeding silage II
to determine whether or not it Il
profitable. Whether to begin with corr
at the beginning or to eliminate corr
from the first feeding period. 1t II
more profitable to eliminate corn en-
tirely, especial If corn is high ant
there are a number of steers on thu
market. The man this year who hal
