All the neighbors lend a holding hand and take their turn YOUNGSTER The. fact that the United States Gov ernment will discontinue inspection ol exported meats on March 1 , has caused great cousternation among the packing houses through-out the country. At the International Live Stock Ex position held in Chicago last week the steers fed at the University Experiment Station were awarded 1st and 2nd prizes These animals were fed in accordance with principles of feeding laid down by the Department of Animal Husbandry of the University. A practical course in the feeding of live stock is given by the gentlemen who have charge of the above named department in the wmtei course in agriculture which begins Dec ember 31st , 1901. Nothing can be moi-e valuable to the sons of stockmec than this course A card addressed tc the principal of the School of Agricul ture University of Nebraskawill' elicit full information , and we advise oni readers not only to apply for informa tion , but also to make arrangements tc take the course. The Department of Animal Husband ry , University of Nebraska , 13 making a special effort to give a high gtade in struction to the students who enter the Winter Course in Agriculture whicli begins December 31 , 1901. The lead ing beef breeds are Be'represented as tc show the best types , of beef cattle. These animals will be made use of foi class room instruction. The fact that the steer winning the second prize in the grade Hereford two-year-old class at the Fat Stock Show recently held in Chicago was bred and fed at the .Neb raska Experiment Station , shows that cattle of high order are used f3r class room work in the School of Agricult ure , and also demonstrates that intelli gent methods of feeding are practised by The Department of Animal Hus bandry. The ring in which this steer took the second premium contained torty animals. These animals were produced by the best breeders of beef cattle in the United Statesind Cana da , yet Nebraska succeeded in winning the second place. Ihis victory for the University of Nebraska School of Agri culture speaks for itself. TEe instruct ion in the department of animal lius bandry seeks to teach the student how to select animals for the feed lot and how to feed them to the great est possible profit. Instruction is also given in the breeding and feeding of sheep and swine. On November 22 a small lot of grade lambs raised on the university farm were sold in Omaha. They averaged 98 pounds and brought $4.20 net. They had been fed grain only twentj days. Last year the pigs used for experimentalpurposes were sold when they were , seven months old. They weighed 215 pounds each and were on the market before winter weather set in , thus showing that it is possible to produce and feedjswine for the market without haying to carry them through the most severe season of the year. These are but a few illus trations of some of the practical exper iments being carried on ac the univers ity farm. Students in the school of agriculture become thoroughly familiar with the methods of feeding used in the experiments above named. Exper iments are now being carried on to de termine the relative value of wheat and corn as food stuffs for cattle and hogs , and in a short time there will be one for the purpose of finding out how small a gram ration can b used in fattening steers for the market. It is confidently expected that a method of x saving a considerable amount of grain will be devised as a result of this last experiment. Never in the history of the school of agficuHure have such op portunities Been offered for the instruc tion of farmers' sons as are being . off.- * \ ered this year.Much good will result to the state if a large number of'youpg men should " avail themselves of the ad- vantages , of 11.
