FEEDING CATTLE FOR PROFIT
Market Requirements for Beef Are
Much Higher Than In Former
Years-Skiil Needed.

The feeding of beef cattle for the
market has become a special line Of
work, which requires a high grade Of
skill through understanding of the
feeding values of different materials
used in the production of beef, as
well as an appreciation Of the re-
quirements Of animal nutrition and
shrewd business ability. Without these
prerequisites the feeder is doomed to
receive very small returns for his la
Dor. The market requirements for
beef at present are much higher than
in former years. II Is necessary, there
fore. In order to obtain prices which
will pay the feeder for his time and
outlay. to produce herd Of cattle as
nearly uniform as possible In appear
ance and quality. with high market
finish and symmetrical development,
particularly In those parts which yield
high-priced cuts In which the profits
lie for the butcher.
