Can we feed cattle for the market and at least set the measure for our trouble? Can we feed beeves at a profit? We are often asked thest* questions and a brief-summary of results of feeding a lot of about thirty may be of interest as by this means we can present facts and not jruess work. This lot we be^an to feed on No vember, 13 and it consisted of a mixed, bunch of steers and heifers, nearly half of fcach. By February 2C> they had gained fispfi lbs., or a srain of 21S lbs, each, averajnnjr a little more than 14A lbs. I»er head per week. This, as any feeder knows, is a very good gain and was particularly j< good in this instance, as they were a |* mixed lot of mountain cattle, ob- ; tained locally, and of a rather low h average in quality. ■ ; In this time they consumed 10f>d00 ““ lbs. silage and 211fi2A lbs. cotton seed meal, or an average of 37 lbs. | silage and 7A lbs. meal |>er head per j day. If silage is valued at $3.00 per ton and rneal at $3.00 i>er ton, then these steers cost to feed at the rate of 17A cents per day. To offset the cost of the feed we obtained the gain of 14 8-15 lbs. per week, the manure, and thd increase of value to the whole animal that comes from the added flesh. In some sections it is expected to sell the animal for at least one cent per pound more when fattened than they cost when thin. Using these figures, let us see how our account would stand. Silage consumed in the fifteen weeks, at $3.00 per ton $158 Meal for same time at $30.00 per ton $316 3 T«»tul cost of feed $473. height at start was 22850 lbs. At three and a half- cents |>er pound, the amount would be $109.75. The gain was 5896 pounds making the selling weight 28746 lbs. If sold at a vain of one cent per pound then 28746 lbs. at .041 per lb. 1293.17 From this take cost 799.75 Balance 493.42 Cost of food as above 473.00 clemson extension work.

The following papers are dabbed Selling price above all coat 20.42 Selling price is only an estimate as the above cattle were for our own use, hence not sold, but the lesson remain^just the same. Under favorable circumstances w;. • .« this indicates that cattle may be fed for beef and the manure obtained for the labor. If the cattle were fed at seasons when meal is low in price the show ing would be better. The silage too may usually be grown for less than $3.00 per ton and in that case it would be so much to the advantage of the feeder. The foregoing shows that this in dustry- may be profitable as an aid in building up the farm, but we must present the following cautions, and would suggest the desirability of fat tening only a few, say a car lot, the fira^time and let the business grow as one becomes accustomed to all conditions to be met. If cattle are brought from a dis tance, study the freight rates and see if that may prohibit the enter prise. In buying be careful they are not weighed just after receiving food and water. Learn if the market in which yon wish to sell, will take heifers, or if it pays better for steers, and act ac cordingly. . If heifers are bought get spayed ones if posrible, or if not then such as are not bred, or at least that are not far advanced in pregnancy. . Buy local cattle if poerible and save not only freight, buttheshrink- NT* caused by shipping, these often being very serious drawbacks to the enterprise. Do not, feed too long, but yet enough to satisfy the market. When fettle are nearly ftnithtd. the coat of gain is much increased.

Treasurer Jones has just com pleted his abstract of tax executions showing that executions have been issued against about 1100 delinquent tax payers. The total amount of money represented in these execu tions is $3986.66. This is taxes on valuation of real estate of $109,- 193; personal property of $99,236; making a total of $201,429. The poll tax and penalty are $648,42; dog tax and penalty $182.44; poll tax warrants to be turned over to magistrates $609. Treasurer Jones says that if one- third of the exeeutioiis handed sheriff are collected, he will consider it doing well. Very few delinquent polls arc ever paid. He explains that the cause for tills small ambunt realized is the fact that a lot of the executions rpprseentdouble entries, deceased persons snd thdse removed to other counties or states.
