Sim Baxter's right leg was in tem- porary retirement under a layer of arnica-soaked bandages. He regarded the injured member with a glint of rueful humor and spake thus to a neighbor who had dropped in for @ | chat with the cheerful invalid. “Bert, tell me somethin’. How cun a feller tell when a mean white muie named Anarchy is goin’ to kick? f mean, how can he tell in time to do him any good?” “Human knowledge goes no further than to say that a white mule I» at- ways goin’ to kick. Is that the an- swer? Then let me ask you a ques- tion: How do you know whether to buy your ‘feeder’ steers in the fall or im the spring? Do you make any- thing by feeding them in the winter, and will you make more if you let the other feller feed ‘em through? They cost more in the spring than in the Is there any way to be certain?” Sim admitted that the thing was past his comprehension and confessed that he sometimes did the thing one way and sometimes the other, but that he never knew just how he was com- ing out. In reality, as to the time to buy stockers or feeders, there is no hard and fast rule. The usual time is in the fall when they must leave the feeds | bave been harvested or stored for cat tle feeding. However, with a falling market, which no one can foretell with any degree of certainty, the cattle may not be worth enough more in the spring to pay for the winter feeding. Yet they have been kept largely on feed for which there is no other mar- ket. Consequently, what Sim and = his neighbor should know is how much it costs to keep stockers through the winter on various rations, how they lose or gain weight, and how they gain through the summer as a result of the way they have been wintered. Being in a better position te carry on feeding experiments to answer these | questions than the cattlemen, the bu reau of animal! industry, co-operating Virginia experiment station, conducted a series of feeding tests in Greenbrier county, West Vir- The axperiments began De- cember 22, 1914, and covered a period of four years, the results being now Turning Steers Into Beef. published in department bulletin 870, In brief, 30 yearling steers were se- lected each year and divided into three lots of ten steers each. When the lots were carefully equalized, the average weight of the animals was 663 pounds each. The steers were on winter ri- tions an average of 130 days, and on pasture an average of 158 days each year. The tests proved that an average daily ration of 19.8 pounds of sil five pounds of mixed hay, and 2¢ pounds of wheat straw during the winter would maintgin these steers without loss of weight. An average daily ration of 23.1 pounds of corn silage, 4.9 pounds of wheat straw and one pound of cotton- seed meal would give each steer an average gain of 62 pounds. A daily ration of 11.9 pounds of mixed hay and 4.1 pounds of wheat straw fed throughout the winter will not keep the animal in good condition, | This ration was responsible for a loss ; of 35 pounds per steer. Corn silage gave better results than dry rough age alone, and the steers that had silage as a part of their winter ra tion made greater total those fed on hay and straw. The cost of feed averaged through out the four years was as follows: Corn silage Mixed hay Rye hay ....... Beoy-bean hay Wheat straw Cottonseed meal ... The bulletin sone feeding tests that will be extremely valuable to the farmers of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee and the adjacent stutes, and for them it does much to answer the question that puzzled Sim and his friends.
