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.-
