There are fewer cattle In the north
west today han there were a few
years ago, but the percentage OF short
age is not SO great here as Ii is In some
of the middle western states" said
DIR. w. j. Butler, state veterinarian,
when discussing the livestock situa-
ton. According to the 1926 livestock
census, there were 6 5000, 900 beef cattle
in the United States, which Is apprOxi-
mately 100000 less beef cattle than
was given in the previous census" said
DIR. Butler.
There are approximately lib, 000. oo(
people in the United States today. and
the population is rapidly increasing. and
unless some untoward condition arises
I firmly believe 1t will continue to In
crease. With the population increasing
and with an increasing consumption o1
beef, and with O decreasing number OF
beef cattle, the natural deduction is that
unless something unforeseen happens

Winter Feeding
Winter feeding and winter care of
our cattle is one of our big problems.
1t is our firm belief that the closer we
stay to nature the less disease and less
trouble We will have with our cattle.
Grazing is cows natural habit. They
should be permitted to Craze Just as
much as possible. II they must be fed
in a pasture. feed them as great q va
riety Of feed as 0 possibly can and
don't feed them on the same little place

Scatter the feed over the pasture. Make
your cattle move around. Excepting In
very severe weather make you cattle go

to them.

exceptionally well wherever there are
f~lat-leafed weeds and grass, but animals
cannot stay on these forest reserves all
the year around. They are driven down
out Of he hills with the coming OF the

"A sudden change of feed is no. good
for any livestock, and more particularly
does this apply to sheep. 1t is absolutely
necessary that we recognize this factor
