EXPERIMENT IN
STEER FEEDING,
Station at Prosser Gives
Comparative Fioures in
FEEDING for Market

Beef cattle feeding experiments at
the Irrigation Branch Experiment
station were closed On March 18th.
The number of men who visited the
feed lots during the winter, and again
this month to secure the final records,
indicates a growing interest in winter
feeding and in the many allied ques-
tions of production and marketing.
Cattle were received at the station
in November. Thirty five two-year-
old Shorthorn and Hereford steers
grading as prime feeders were start
ed in the experiments on December
10th. Two lots of 10 steers each were
used to continue the study of the
proportion of corn silage and alfalfa
hay for fatening steers. Ten steers
in a third lot were fed alfalfa hay
only. A fourth lot of five steers was
fed only waste hay from the other
three. lots to determine the value OF
waste hay for wintering stock cattle.
The steers were to be fed from 80 to
100 days, or until those in lots 1, 2.
and 8, were ready for market.
Feeding steers for market on "a
ton of alfalfa hay alone was a sue
cessful practice during pioneer years
when cattle, hay and land were cheap
and transportation was not available
for shipping farm produce to conven-
lent markets. "Straight hay feeding
is now important only in years OF
very cheap hay or in isolated dis
tricts of limited crop production
where farm produce must walk to
market. Five years Of feeding by the
Union Experiment station in Oregon
and two years work at the Irrigation
station indicate that straight hay"
feeding is a slow and expensive way
Of fattening steers for market.
Steers in the hay Lot averaged 914
lbs. on December 10 and 1O23.9 lbs.
on March 10. The average gain per
steer was 1895 lbs. or 1.22 lbs. daily.
Buyers agreed that seven head were
ready for market and that three head
were not prime.
Excellent first cutting alfalfa was
fed three times daily in rooted man
gers. An average of 41.1 lbs of hay
per steer was offered daily of which
Id, lbs. returned as waste. On this
basis 3377.6 lbs. of hay were offered,
24421 lbs. actually consumed, and
935.5 lbs. wasted for each 100 lbs.
actually consumed and $3.50 per ton
is fair price for the hay, the gain
in weight by steers cost SPILL per
cwt. If the waste hay is worth $500
per ton for wintering horses or stock
er cattle, deduction of 1924 from
the SILL is permissible.
"A discussion. of the results of hay
and silage feeding, of the value of
waste hay, and of the opportunities
in feeding beef cattle on irrigated
farms, will appear in following issues
Of this paper.

THE FINISHED TEMPLE

In tempted halls where Wisdom sits,
A gracious queen upon her throne,
Men dedicate to life's ideals,
A something more than scriptured
stone.
Not regnant there is wealth or birth,
Nor pride in earthly conquests won,
But love of what the mind achieves,
And joy in duties well begun.
And there, as low the censor swings,
The timid feet may safely stray,
And heart will answer unto heart,
The far-off call of yesterday.
But meaningless were stately piles,
If raised to glorify desire,
For gone are all our yesterdays,
AS gone are Ninevah and Tyre.
But those who bAild the altar shrines,
And those who toll, and plan, and SOW
That light may come from out the
dark
Have builded better than they know;
For stones may crumble into dust,
And turn to primal earth again,
But wisdom mounts on angel wings,
And sings unto the souls of men.
