STOCK FEEDERS
GATHER IN FORCE
AT STATE FARM
Nearly 250 Discuss Possible
Substitutes For Corn and
How to Meet Unusual
Demand For Pork.
Lincoln, Neb., 27. Approximately
250 farmers and stockmen were in at
tendance at the annual stock feeders'
day at the state farm. It was essen
tially a feeders' get-together meeting
with short talks,, general discussion of
the merits of different rations, and an
inspection of test stock. Unusual
importance attended many of the dis
cussions because of the high cost of
corn this veat and the necessity of
finding as far as possible economical
teeds.
Dean E. A. Burnett of the college
of agriculture urged that farmers
cc;? to the assistance of the govern
ment in raising as many hogs as pos
sible in view of the demand for pork
in the army. E. Z. Russell of Omaha
explained that if every farmer will
raise an extra litter of pigs Nebraska
will accomplish its part in1 the hog
campaign.
Considerable discussion -centered on
methods of making usewsf the large
quantities of soft corn which are re
ported in the state. Dr. J. H. Gain of
the department of animal pathology
warned against feeding moldy corn
; to horses, although it can be fed to
pigs and cattle. Soft corn, not tnoldy,
however, can be fed with perfect
"safety. Prof. H. J. Gramlich and
i Prof. E. L. Jenkins outlined the
t various feeding experiments that the
university is carrying on.

ASKS STATE'S AID
IN CONSERVING MEAT
Drouth -Stricken Texas Cannot
Handle Cattle There Be
cause of Drouth and
Feed Shortage.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 27. (Special.)
Drouth-stricken Texas is calling
upon Nebraska to take part of the
southwest's cattle in an effort to con
serve the future meat supply of the
country. This information is con
veyed in telegrams and letters to C.
W. Tugsley, director of the extension
service of the College of Agricultufe.
"If consistent with your judgment
please have county agents urge farm
ers and stockmen to purchase stocker
cows and heifers either from drouth
area or on various markets at once,"
said one telegram. "Excellent cattle
young at very cheap prices. We
must preserve the breeding cattle o'f
the country."
Because of the serious situation
thousands of cattle on the southwest
ranges will either have to be sacri
ficed to the packers or will have to
be shipped elsewhere. Government
officials now in Texas are making ef
fort to save the cattle for the country
by selling it to farmers and stock
raisers in the north.
Cattle Well Bred.
The predominating breed of cattle
in the southwest is Hereford, but
there are some Angus and shorthorn
cows and heifers available. The
Texas cattle are well bred and al
though thin at present will make ex
cellent breeding stock. Yearling
heifers are selling at $35 to $45, 2-
year-old heifers at $40 and $50 and
young cows at $50 and up. T. Pryse
Metcalfe, agent in animal husbandry
at Amarillo, Tex., has the following
to say about the method to secure
these cattle:
Cattle Are Thin.
"Of course the most of these cat
tle are thin and many of them are too
thin and weak to think 'of trying to
ship anywhere, in fact many of them
could not be driven to the shipping
station, but while this is true there
are thousands of cattle where the
range has been better or small show
ers have fallen or where the owners
had not stocked heavily that are
in good condition and strong enough
to ship anywhere and I feel that if
taken to your section and given
plenty of good roughness with some
cotton seed or oil cake and some pro
tection should do well. I know that
cattle are wintered there and if taken
care of properly I believe they will
do well.
"There is one thing that should be
emphasized and that is that it will
not pay the man who" only wants
one car of cattle to come all this way
for them alone. There are two rea
sons for that: Firsts the expense
for the purchaser would eat up all his
expected profits and, secondly, the
most of our cattle are owned in more
or less large herds and they can not
afford to take their outfit and round
up the cattle for uch small orders.
Buy On Markets.
"Men wanting cattle in less than"!
lots of 100 should do one of two
things: either go or send to the Kan
sas City or other western markets
where thousands of drouth-stricken
cattle are going and thece-buy in any
desired size bunches they want, or
several of them go together, bunch
their orders and send one man down
to purchase all the cattle desired, in
one lot, then divide them out after
reaching home.
' "By doing this they can get better
cattle and for less money and the
expense will be greatly reduced. I
believe the better way is the last, as
the best cattle are being retained
at home rather than sacrifice on the
market as canners, but they will sell
if anything like a decent price can
be obtained. If the county agents or
some other agency could be put to
work getting these small orders and
consolidating them and sending
to the range for the cattle in large
lots much more could be done and
I am certain the result would be
more - satisfactory all around."
Smallpox Scare Creates

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 27. (Special.)

dents have been vaccinated since last

nent Jefferson county farmers have

be exceedingly strong with the people
