equilibrium In the early trading to-

Feeding Meat Animals
Profitable Side Line

In several counties in New Yorl
state, especially those within 50-mile
radius of Buffalo, the feeding of west
ern-raised lambs and steers during the
winter is proving a profitable side
line, 1t has the big advantage of
distributing labor more evenly through
out the year. uses up coarse roughage
and provides manure for farms which
do not MAINTAIN dairy.
1t Is a somewhat hazardous enter
prise, however, subject to wide marke'
fluctuations and to losses as a resul,
of improper feeding, and even to oc
casional heavy losses from disease
Disease and parasites, according to
the New York State College of Agri
culture, are. especially troublesome
with respect to sheep.
The COLLEGE has given some study tC
these problems and Is prepared to
offer practical advice to farmers this
winter through farmers Institutes anf
other meetings held in each county I'm
der the auspices of local farm bureaus
