Fairview Feeder Tour
Three excellent tour stops have
been arranged for the Fairview
Feeder Tour held December /.
Two lamb stops and one cattle
stop will be the featured at
fractions this year.
John Hardy is feeding around
a 1000 head of Suffolk white
face cross. At the present time
they average about 80 pounds.
These lambs are an excellent
example of good feeders. They
are a thrifty, hardy bunch that
will lay on fat rather easily.
The next lamb stop will be the
Henry Bowman farm. Mr.. Bow
man has 1900 lambs on feed.
These range from light weight
to heavy lambs. Mr.. Bowman's
feeding methods will undoubt-
ably interest many advocates of
this trade. He has fed out lambs
that have averaged around half
a pound of gain a day in past
years, which is par excellence.
And last, Henry Paschke has
obtained 400 Hereford calves, that
are a uniform herd. They were
just started in the feedlot within
the last two weeks. Henry's set
up for taking care of this big
herd, will be of interest as well
as his feeding practices.
The date again is December /.
Other added attractions will be
an educational program in the
afternoon and a banquet and
dance to round out the evenings
entertainment.

Good Mineral Mixtures

Recently several rancherS nave
inquired on a good mineral mix
ture for livestock.
Frankly the best mineral mix
ture to use is one that supplies
an animal with the deficient min
erals in this area and yet is rea-
sonably cheap.
We definitely know that Rich
land county is deficient in phos-
phorus and iodine. So, the best
rule to follow is to buy a min
eral containing a high percent
of phosphorus. Iodized salt fur
nishes the iodine and an adj
dition to mono-sodium phosphate
will fill the phosphorus require
ments. This should be mixed 2/3
salt and 1/3 mono : sodium
phosphate. Now some of
you may have choosy cows that
will turn up their noses at this
mixture. Wen try a l/3 salt,
1/3 bone meal and 1/3 mono-so-
dunn phosphate. These mineral
mixtures fill the bill for the ami
NAL and yet are economical.
INOW We lldNC ilAdxiJ (OlAlliiCA
cial mixtures available on the
market. But one important point
to remember is that the phos-
phorus content should not be
less than 1919. If it is it doesn't
fill the animals needs.
You don't feed screenings as a
fattening ration and the same
goes for a mineral mixture, feed
what they need. If they need
some other feedstuff, then some
other source will have to supply
them. An animal can eat just SO
much salt and mineral mixture
which is far from enough TO
supply anything else.
Management Does 1t
What makes the difference be-
tween a good business man or a
poor one? And what makes the
difference between a good farmer
and one who is on the verge of
losing his farm? Is it because
the successful farmer has more
livestock, more land or a rich
father-in-law? No, that doesn't
answer the question. Manage
ment makes the difference.
You often hear the phrase "If
you buy them right, feed them
right and sell them right, you
money" How many times
can you sell them right? So
there's only two things left. Buy
them right and feed them right.
Now management doesn't APP
ply only to cattle or lamb feed
ing. 1t comes in every phase of
farming.
: With the year coming to a close
and income tax payments just
around the corner now is a
good time to figure just how
profitable the year has been.
1t doesn't take an elaborate set
of books, just good common
If vol feel that you have
Mt made the profit you figure
you should have, what are the
reasons? If you were a business
you could find the reasons
in the ledger, or maybe a sales
clerk. On a farming enterprise
It may be a little more diff
,uit.
However, there r many
methods of increasing your cap
tai gains. A thorough COW herd
selection or eve selection. Con-
weeds, using fertilizer,
bulk materials. These are
lust a few but take a look at
own set = up. Somewhere
can be cut or more eff
iicient production may be utilized.
This is management. With the
price spread becoming less each
management will tell the
difference between a successful
enterprise and a losing one. =
