FUR ‘IZS ’JFWWWWF :"4 Long-keep steers are all the better to receive practically no meal during the first month they are in the stable. or, at the most, merelv a sprinkling of meal on their other foods, sayfi between one and two pounds perl day, Thus they become accustomed to meal, and the quantity may he‘ gradually increased unt l, by the end of the second month, they may reach1 as high as four pounds each per day. An increase in the amount of meal should he tnade gradually, and the eXtent to which it shiuld he increas- ed after the point just mentioned. will depend upon the condition of the steers. As a rule, reasonably good long keep steers can he finished for market by, feeding, on an average. about half a pound of meal per day for every 100 pounds of their live weight. That is to say, if the average live weight of a steer for the whole feeding period is 1.200 pounds. the amount of meal required to fatten him will average about 6 pounds per day. Of course. towards the close of the feeding period, it may he neecssary to increase the meal ration to nearly a pound per day ter 100 pounds of live weight. but rince the ration was extremely small at the beginning, and was very gradually increased, the average da 1y ration will not exceed, to any con-ilerable extent, the quantity stated. The feeder must ever hear in mind that meal is the expensive part of the ration, and that the pro fits depend very largely upon the skill with which this important fac- tor in fattening is handled. Light meal rations to start with, and very gradual increases. are two general guides which should never heiost sight of in fattening cattle. Roughly speaking. steers for feed- ingmay be divided into two clnsses, namely. long-keep steers. which on account of light weight or thin con dition, have to be fed five or six months before they are ready for market: and short-keep steers, which are heavier and more fleshy and can be finished in from three to four months. The methods of feeding these two classes of cattle are neces- sarily difl'erent, and therefore the suggvesrions which follow are ofiered under two diflerent heads. The question of weight must never be lost sight of in feeding meal. Many men feed entirely by measure and are inclined to form their opino ions of difierent foods by the effects produced by equal measures, instead of by equal weights. A gallon of ground oars IS a very different thing from a gallon of pea meal, and when feeding the lighter classes of meal, the bulk should be increased as com‘ pared with heavier kinds If this point is not lost sight of, the feeder will he sursrised to find, after all, how little diflerence there is in the feeding value of difierent kinds of meal. The man with good judgment will get good results from almost any meal mixture, provided it 1s palat- able. He must see to i t that it is palatable. that it is mixed in such a way as to be digestible, and that the guide as to quantity is weight, not measure.
