THE FEEDING OF
CATTLE ON MOLASSES
Diversification In Stock Feeding Is
Found to be n Paying Propo-
sition to Stockmen.
The Texas Experimental Sta-
tion at College Station has sent
out a pamphlet on the subject of
experiments in steer feeding. Lee
Brothers of this city have found
molasses feeding a profitable in-
vestment and the editor of the
Press knowing this has requested
Mr. Phil Leo to tell Press readers
the experience of these well
known breeders. The following
introductory and table of figures
is taken from the experiment
(station's pamphlet.
MOI.ASSKS I'Oll BTKKIl I'KKDI.NU.
It will be seen that if we com-
paro Lot 1 and Lot 2 in the ex-
periment of 100U it will afford us
tho data for determining whother
it would be advisable to add mo-
lasses to the ration of cottonseed
menl and hulls for steer feeding.
These steers wero the some age
being two-year-olds from the
same ranch and wero very evenly
divided as to weight. Tha expe-
riment like tho others conducted
extended ever 100 days. The
molases was purchased at 10 cents
per gallon and thoy rneoived one-
lifth gallon per head per day
throughout tho trial. Tho follow-
ing table presents tho results in a
way that admits of direct com-
parison :

It will be Been from this that
the lot receiving molasses as an
additiou to their ration not only
made a greater gain per head
daily but it was also made
cheaper The gain made by the
steers that were fed molasses is
exceptionally high and the cost
was reasonable all of which indi-
cates that molaBBes is an addition
to such a ration which should be
exceedingly satisfactory. It is
possible that even better results
than these might be obtained by
feeding a larger quantity of the
molasses but the determination
of this point wo reserve for
further experiment.
Leedalo March 7 1905. To
The San Angolo Press: In the
winter of 1901-1902 wo fed a car
of high grade Hereford yearling
steers and for the lost 80 days 01
the feeding period we fed them
some mollasses I don't know how
much good it did them but it kept
them woll on their feed they al-
ways had thoir trough cleaned
when feeding time came and had
a good appetite; further Borne of
our hay was rather poor quality
which made it difficult to got
steers to eat sufficient roughness
previous to using molasses but by

troublo to get Bteers to eat all we
wanted them to. These steers
finished good enough to top tho

$5.40 per 100 lbs. April 1902 and
SOOlbs. Tho year 1001M001 we
fed another car of yearling steers
which wo showed at the San An-
gelo Fair taking 1 2 and 8 pme.
We then took them to tho San
Antonio Fair and took first prizo
on them there. Wo wero quaran-
tined there six wnokB then brought
them homo and dehorned thorn
lust Novomber 1008 and fed thorn
on till first week in March 1901.
They averaged 9-10 pounds and
sold for SI. 50. Showed them at
Ft. Worth Fat Stock Show taking
2 prize on them amid strong com-
petition there being 18 entries in
class. Tho first prizo bunch was
fed somo molasses also.
Tho winter 1901-5 wo fed an-
other car of yearlings which wo
showed at San Angolo fair taking
1st 2nd and 8rd prizes on them
shipped to San Antonio fair and
took 1st prizo on them brought
them home and aro now feeding
for Ft. Worth Show. Thoy are
now woighing over 1000 pounds
and are the most smooth fleshed
car of steers I have seen in Texas.

Old Land Alurk Falling.
Tho two story stone building
in the northwestern purt of the
city known as the "old Miles
building" is crumbling to the
earth. It is one of the old laud
marks of San Angolo. Carved on
on a stone ovor the front door
is "J. Miles 1S90." In building
the masons dug down 11 feet to
get a good foundation for tin
south end and then didn't got to
very solid ground. This is proba-
bly tho main reason that thin end
of it crumbled to the ground
early iTuesday morning. During
tiio Spanish-American war tho
upper room of this building was
used as an armory and drilling
room for Company E. of the Jin I
Texas volunteer which was or-
ganized in San Angolo. Hence
tho house is known to a good
many ub "tho Armory." Jona-
than Miles of San Angolo was the
first owner but it is now owned
by It. 1$. Price of Galveston. Tho
rest of tho building will havo to
bo torn down to secure Bafety for

CARE OF FARM HORSES.
Tho CntiRr I're onllon nntl Cure of
91 ml Pvtrr.
Mid fever Is a product of the autumn
n ml winter months. It Is likely to bo
extremely prevalent among horses
Borne seasons unless precautions nro
mlopted to prevent Its occurrence snys
nn English correspondent of American
Agriculturist.
Innumerable coses of mud fever are
due to the practice of washing fie
bodies and legq of horses when they
come la from work. The wisest thing
to do Is to Kcrape olT as much of the
mud as possible and leave the remain
der to be brushed olT when It becomes
dry and powdery. Tho sheath and
dock however may be sponged and
dried as uxtuil for tho cause of mud
fever rooiiii to be the nppllcntlon of
water to tho hair of the body and
limbo.
The symptoms of mud fever aro it
heat nml tenderness of the skin and n
sort of plainly eruption undernenth the
cent. Tho latter will not lie down and
la severe cases coined off In patches
while the eruption Increases until sore
places appear. The directed animal
will often to lame and may not be lit
to worlt for somo time if It Is a bad
case and not taken In time.
The lirst thing to do when It becomes
clear that It Is a ease of mud fever
Is to give the horse a (hue of cooling
physic and to cut off his supply of
corn by placing lili on a diet of
mashes and soft food. If no Improve-
ment Is perceptible professional r.d-
vice should be sought.
Slicci" nit l'linlllrc ItiiiiriMcr.
From a bulletin Issued by the South
Dakota experiment station wo tuUo
tho following: "V aro convinced that
tho addition of live or slK head of
sheep for each cow will tend to In-
crease the productiveness of n very
weedy pasture nearly If not (ulto to
tho extent of the amount consumed by
the sheep. After a few years when
tho weeds 'iave been exterminated the
relative lo'iuber of cowh may bo In-
creased hut of course tho proportion
of cows to sheep as well as tho total
amount of stock that can be prolltably
kept upon a given area will depend
upon the nature of the soil and the
vegetation tho locality tho climatic
conditions etc."
Corn Tor Slirrii.
It Is likely that at no very remote
date corn will bo rated among the
sheep's best auxiliary rations. At pres-
ent it is considered of too heating and
fattening a nature for stock sheep but
our experiment stations will likely give
us a kind that will be higher In protein
nnd contain less carbohydrates and fat
and consequently n much better bal-
anced ration for growing animals than
what It Is at present. American Sheep

CunpprnliiK (lie Mule.
Tho mule has advantages over the
horse which havo come to be recognized
by men who work the two side by side.
In the llrst place ho pays tho breeder
better because ho can he put on the
market a year sooner. He Is not as ex-
pensive to raise as the horse because
he is In condition to do good work long
before the horse can be broken to har-
ness. At two years old the mule can be
put In the field and kept there until old
nge ovoi takes lilni
PROFITABLE FEEDING
In (iormany meat scraps and meat
meal have been fed with good results
to dairy cows steers and sheep as
high as three pounds dally being fed to
steers. In Trance horses are some
times fed with this product and It has
been found most effective when boiled
and mixed with hay and straw. Hecf
scraps nnd meat meal sell at about $30
per ton.-L. D. Hall of Illinois Kxperl-
mont Station.
Cottoimpcil Menl.
Ill feeding Bteers for market begin
with about three pounds of cottonseed
meal pur day mixed with about fifteen
pounds of hulls and gradually Increase
until a maximum of about ten pounds
per day Is readied mixed with twen
ty-two pounds of hulls says a corre-
spondent of Farm nnd Hunch. On an
average eight pounds per day aro sulll-
clcnt for tho average steer mixed with
about twenty-two pounds of hulls
making a total of thirty pounds per
day to each steer.
Ilrcu tn' UrnliiM For IIorNex.
Tho following tation tins been used
at tho Now Jersey experiment statlun
and was found very satisfactory when
fed to stieet car horses says American
Agriculturist: Hay fclx pounds; wheat
bran two pounds; whole corn four
pounds; dry brewers' grain eight
pounds. Tho veterinarian In charge of
tho horses stated that tho brewers'
grain produced no 111 effects and that
tho horses wero healthy and active. Ho
found that one pound of brewers' grain
was about equal to one pound of oats.
i Oil Cnlic Tor I'Ikn.
To young pigs after weaning I would
mix oil cako with roots shorts and
clover hay then stenm or cook says
an Ontario farmer In American Culti-
vator. Where milk or whey Is scarce
ollmeal In this way may bo fed to
tako tho placo of skim milk. To older
pigs it may bo mixed with tho grain
in tho ordinary way of feeding. The
amount must he regulated to tho size
of tho pigs and tho Inlluenco It may
havo on tho bowels.
liny find Out" Fur IlnriPN.
The principal feeds for horses In Dng:
land consist of liny and oats. Of tho
two liny Is considered tho most essen-
tial when unusual exercise Is not de-
manded. Horses can llvo altogether
on hay provided they aro not called up-
on to do much work. If muscular ox-
erclso is required somo kind of grain
food must bo used.
Reusing Horses
On the Fa.rm
Farmers well situated should ralso a
good colt every year to bo disposal of
nt three years old or under snys J. W.
Ingham In National Stockman. The
oats and hay which It would consume
will bring more when the colt Is sold
than If they had been sent to market
and the manure retained on the farm
would pay for all the trouble of han-
dling the colt. Hay anil grain sold to
likely farm stock aro sold In the best
market and the market Is right at
home.
The kind of horses for farmers to
raise Is the kind there Is the most de-
mand for In the region where they live.
The wants for different kinds of busi-
ness In different localities differ nnd It
Is to the Interest of producers to en-
deavor to supply the article tho mar-
ket requires.
Where great loads aro to bo moved
nnd speed Is not required where the
roads are smooth and good tho large
breeds of horses will always bo popu-
lar but where the roads aro rough
muddy full of stumps and stones
where brush logs and rocks must lie
driven over smaller horses being more
nimble and sure footed will accom-
plish more In a day with less fatigue
to themselves less danger of falling
down less liability of gelling lamed
and moro comfort to their drivers than
large horses.
I.argo horses requite more feed Just
as largo engines tequlro more fuel
whether worked up to their full capac-
ity or not. Tho strength of largo horses
Is not so great In proportion to their
size as smaller ones. The reason 1s
that the smaller horses like the small-
or men nro composed of better "tim-
ber" and nature's moro refined work-
manship. Their muscles are more firm-
ly knit their sinews more tense and
tough and their bodies and brains full-
er of nervous power and energy than
the larger species.
The Pri-ncli Conrh llorar.
A carriage horse which combines
style and substance alwayH finds a
inaiket at good prices. For this rea
son breeders of the French coach horse
have nover been able to keep up with
the demand even during the years
when other horses wero In oversupply.
The trade icqulrcs animals of good
disposition large handsome high
headed high stepping and able to
draw a heavy canlage at a good speed
without tiring. The qualities aro so
uniformly combined In the Fieuch
coaches that line pairs aro eagerly
bought at hluh llgures.
I'm. of Crnilc IIiiIIn
The rock on which tho growing of
market cattlo Is likely to founder Is the
grade bull says A. CI. I.ucas In Review.
.Many are good lookers but for breed-
ers' purposes are worse than useless.
I do not underrate the value of good
Individuality. Hvery bull that does not
possess It should be steered regardless
of how blue his blood miiy be. Hut on
the other hand there Is no greater
fallacy In cattle growing than that
which places a value for breeding pur-
poses on individuality that la without
breeding behind it to Insure Its per-
petuation In tho progeny. A grade
hull no matter how lino a steer he
might have made will not do this.
The use of good pure bred bulls on
common stock will make a herd of cat-
tle that grows hotter with every gen-
eration provided the environment Is
made fairly good but the use of grade
sires Is about as short a cut to the
production of scrubs us one can take.
llaliy Href I'rmlnc tltm.
This method of production cannot bo
universally adopted for while thero Is
a strong demand fur baby beef on the
homo markets It Is not suited to ac-
company tho great surplus of nearly
100000 of live cattlo into tho export
trade. Tci-hups a more potout reason
why baby beef production cannot bo-
come unlvcisal Is found In tho fact
that none but the skilled breeder and
feeder who Is willing to devoto his
most painstaking energies to tho woik
can make a success of it. It is without
question a Hue of production requiring
experience and the exercise of good
Judgment In feeding and tho careful
performance of all detail work In order
to lnsuro success. I'rofessor Shaw of
Michigan Agricultural College.
I SIi(mi Qualify I'uyn
Quality and condition are Inseparable
requisites to real success in breeding
bheep. A well bred sheep out of condi-
tion is unprofitable and n mongrel
sheep Is never In good condition. Qunl-
Ity Is secured through breeding nnd
condition is secured through proper
enro nnd attention. Strive for both.
Keep thti Youinratern GravvlnR.
