Judging by the honors won at the

this country the daddies have made
a great record both In the show

The Angus steer shown Is line
specimen of this popular breed.
this Is true with the dairy cow and with
the sheep. Whoever has watched the
cattle eagerly searching a bundle of

which the would lie thrifty farmer has
overlooked must he Impressed with
the folly of husking the corn for steer
feeding. It Is true tust wlw- f1 )a
mis way some corn passes through the
faille uudlgested, but If the hogs are
permitted to follow the. CO; there
will be 00 loss.
Suppose, for example, you are feed

may begin Just as soon ss the corn Is

busks turn brown and while some
leaves still remain green. Do not feed
Immature corn, as It will be laxative
and cause the cattle to shrink, tin the

to begin to feed, and In Ave or alx
months two-year-old ateera will be

fall the weather la moat favorable, and
when It gets too bad to leave the cattle
exposed they msy be confined In yarda
or pena and the feeding continued.
It is now conceded thst stall feeding
Is the least profitable for the ordlusry
feeder aud that grinding the corn does
not pay, especially when hogs are per
mitted to follow the cattle. One bog to
each steer la about the right number to
consume all the waste corn.
At first each steer should have about
three pounds of corn and the amount
be gradually Increased until he la get
ting all he will eat The waste of eto

extra husked or sjsejjpsi com. Three
