ECONOMIC STOCK FEEDING

The economic feeding of live stock does not mean the putting of animal* upon a starvation ration In order to asve feed, or to make a certain supply of feed reach over a specified lime. Economy In feed means a saving of feed from loss or extravagant use. Tbe turning of stock Into meadow* and where they have access to hay stacks Is a waste of feed, and therefore a violation of system and economical methods In handling live stock. Tbe shoveling of corn out Inlo muddy yards for the hogs to gather up Is not an observance of economy. It la a waste of feed and a damage lo the health of tbe swine. All grains and feed products of all kinds that are - produced on the farm or brought onto it as commercial feeds have a feed value, snd should be turned to some account In maintaining farm stock. The economy of feed snd feed products on the farm la the* great source of profit In farming. It mailers not bow much li produced on the farm. If It U not harvested snd properly taken care of to save It from loss and damage, the farm Industry will saffei gad farming will be pronounced a fall are on such farms. Tbe economical management of what Is produced on the farm has as great a bearing on profit as the growing of tbe crop. Tbe study of live qulretnenti Is a necessity. Every farmer and handler ol should know, as nearly as tbe requirements are of the various kinds of feeds. This Instruction and practical work among tog farm animals. It Is folly of tbe worst kind to starve off during the winter months the flesh that has been put on during the grass season. Yet we see the extravagant practice going on all around us. This Is probably more in evidence In the Strictly graxlng districts, where great gains arg made during the summer months. As much as 300 pounds Is often boasted of as the gain on an animal during the graxlng season, aad this it largely lost the follosring winter by being starved off. as a result of requiring the animal to rustle tor a living on bare prairie. It matters not what plan is adopted or permitted to go Into taring of animals that results In tbe starving off of flesh. It la poor omy from a feed standpoint, declares the Twentieth Century Farmer, has been ascertained that tbe greatest profit in live stock growing Is la U# rapid development of tbe animal; the more rapidly the young thing Is pushed forward Into a fully matured beast tbe greater the profit It would be folly to attempt to disprove this In IU eapport with the decline of pasture feed In tbe fall see sop and Is now going on all over the stock raising district will mean the destroying of millions of dollars in lire stock ▼nine. If the theory of constant growth and development Is to be accepted. It U economic feeding to give nB animals liberally of such feeds as are available dnring the cold weather, whether on ranch or farm. It will be economy to eeli such stock as cannot be fully supplied with winter feed. The economic feeding otock can never be traced to starvation methods; not In a single In-
