How Farmers Can Make Money Out oI Cattle. The Be^t Food Right at Home. What milk'-* the price of beef so high? The price of anything Is high <ithei because the demand outstrips tlie sypply. or because of some combination of dealers to artificially raise the price. Hut whether a price ts naturally or ai titiciully high, the remedy is the . anie greater proiiuctlon on an independent basts. Fortunately for con. unicrs of beef, and fortunately for the southern farmer, there is no trust or combination that can prevent a most lavish production of beef, if only the way is pointed out. The breeding of cattle on a farm, at '.--aat In an unsystematic manner. Is natural and almost spontaneous. But 11 the absence of some systematic way to follow up the subject, and select the. proper animals, and care for them I Ill-oil,'!, tli.. ..I") ' .. ... .... .11111 I 1 141 1 I > |?|V|)iUf tin tn to ivmkt' fat. tender beef, there is no proper beef production on the farm. The farmer In the cotton region is surrounded with all the elements to innke beer raising successful. The eiimnte is such that there Is natural forage most of the year. It requires jusi a little forethought to provide for the few winter months. The material?cheap material?is always at hand, cotton seed meal and cotton seed hulls. The meal and hulls tire offered just as you want them by the Southern t'otton Oil company, of the Carolinas and Georgia, and may be bought at any of the local mills or from headquarters at Columbia, S. C.. Atlanta, tla., Savannah. Ga.. or Charlotte, N. c. Mixed in the proper proportion, this makes the most nutritious and acceptable feed that is now available. It is it feed, which by varying the proportions will answor equally well for a sustaining ration or for a fattening ration. It contains all the Ingredients of nutrition, namely, fat. nitrogen and carbohydrates. The cotton seed meal contains fat and nitrogen and the hull ontains carbohydrates. A good sustaining ration Is made up of 24 pounds of hulls and 4 pounds of meal per day. and a good fattening ration is 110 pounds of hulls and 5 pounds of meal. These proportions in both eases must he varied to suit Individual cases, according to the count inn and taste of the animal. In fattening cattle, the ration should begin with more hulls and less meal and tin proportion of meal gradually increased. A steer may be fattened una put in good condition for the market on ?oo pounds of cotton seed meal and me ton of hulls. At average prices, the < est of this feed In the southern tops v.ou'd lie about $0.00.
