Of the different lints of work be- carried on at Ciemson College likely to have Immedlc.te affect'bn^ the agriculture of the State, one of the most important is the feeding df^beef cattle. This industry has, during recent years, become one of theNupst important ir- our State, and if sufficient supply of good cattle could be ob tained there would be few industries with greater possibilities. Lc-st y^r LSS farmers in South Carolina ini ported and fed 7000 head of cattle, which is a large number compared with other Southern States, but on looking up the yield of cotton in the State last year, we fitri that these cattle could all have been fat- tened in one-half the cotton seed mer-! purchased in one county, and that 500,000 head of beef cattle could have been fr ttened on one- half the cotton seed meal produced In the State last year, leaving the other hi If available for other stock. The object of the experiment is to le»rn the most profitable methods of feeding beef cattle, having in vtiew the most economy of beef pro duction and the value of the fer tiliser. The feeds that are easily available to every farmer in the State are cotton seed meal for con centrate* and cotton seed** hulls, com stover, f-nd silage for rough age, and in order to determinlne ' which is the cheapest and most dee slderablc roughage to use. three car loads of cattle hr-ve been purchas ed. One load is be!:-? fid on cot ton seed meal and silage: one load on cotton se*ed meal and shreded corn stover, and one-load on eotton seed niti*! and hails. The cattle are of uniform siz-» and quality ai l are being fed in an open shed Every pourwpof feet* is carefully weighed each d; - and the cattle are weighed at regular in ervals. At th« close of the experiment, the results ob tained will he published in detr-il, and in addit'on. evi*ry fr-rmer who is interested will be li- ited to vis it the College and examinq the cat tle and see tor himself the results of the different rations. The fertil izer obtained will be used in crop experiments and records kept of the yield per acre In order to ler-m if possible, the amount of money a farmer may be able to lose on his cattle ard arill find it profitable to feed. Everyone interetsed in Live Stcok ia cordially invited to visit the College at r-ny time an 4 study our sywtem of feeding animals and keeping records. ' A. Smith, Animal Husbandman, 8. C.
