An Excellent Feed for Cattle
It is Interacting to note the
great amount of oxperimcntinK
going on in fattening cattle. In
the International Show tho other
day a yearling steer raised by J.
D. McGregor, of Brandon, Can
aka, was awarded first prise and
weighed 1,470 pounds. This
steer never had a kernel of corn,
but was fattened on alfalfa, oats
and barley.
This is what Mr. McGregor
says concerning him:
"Glenbarnock Victor II., has
never eaten a kernel of corn.
He is a triumph of economical
feeding. Barley and oats, ground
and boiled, have comprised his
fare, with some alfalfa to give
