How Farmers Can MaKe Money Out of Cattle. The Best Food Right at Home. 3 What makes the price of beef so high? The price of anything Is high , either because the dsmund outstrips the supply, or because uX some combl* nation of dealers to rtltlclally raise the price. Hut whether a price ts naturally or I artificially high, the remedy is the same?greater production on an inde* pendent basis. Fortunately for consumers of beef, and fortunately for the ! southern farmer, there is no trust or combination that can prevent a most 1 lavish production of beef, it only the way is pointed out. t The breeding of cattle on a farm, at . least in an unsystematic manner. Is t natural and almost spontaneous. But ^ in the absence of some systematic wey to follow up the subject, and select the . proper animals, and enre for them through the winter, and finally prepare I them to make fat. tender beef, there is no proper beef production on the farm. The farmer in the cotton region is surrounded with all the elements tar ) jnake beef raising successful. The' . "climate is such that there is natural forage most of the year. It requires just u little forethought to provide for 1 the few winter months Th? mate. rial?cheap material?is always at hand, cotton seed meal and cotton seed . hulls. The meal and hulls are offered Just as you want them by the Southern Cotton 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, Ga? Savannah. Ha., or Charlotte, N. tj. Mixed In the proper proportion, ' this makes the most nutritious and acceptable feed that is now available. It is a feed, which by varying the propor. tions will answer 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 uti or 24 pounds of hulls and 4 pounds of meal pot- day. and a good fattening ration is 20 pounds of hulls and 5 pounds of meal. These proportions In both cases must be varied to suit individual cases, according to the condition and taste of the animal. In . fattening cattle, the ration should begin with more hulls and less meal and the proportion of meal gradually increased. A steer may be fattened and ' put in good condition for the market on 400 pounds of cotton seed meal and one ton of hulls. At average prices, the cost of this feed In the southern States would be about $0.00. There is great profit in fattening beef for the market, even at ordinary prices, but at present the industry should prove unusuully attractive. Tho following estimate of the profit that ' can easily he made In this business Is taken from a book which has been carefully prepared on this subject, "Cotton and Cotton Oil." by D. A. Tompkins.
