J. M. Hughens is selling out

It is gratifying to see die growing
interest developing in die winter
feeding of beef cattle in the south
This much neglected industry is be
ing stimulate somewhat by the
proposed establishment of packing
plants in various of our larger cities.
For the information of the public it
should be said that cold storage
plants, ov/nerl in some instances by
municipalities where the population
is not in excess of fifteen or twenty
thousand, have proven profitable
investments. It is needless to say
that the establishment of such
center! means to stimulate the
winter feeding of beef cattle in the
vicinity of our towns and cities, and
thus give a new impulse to agricul
tural industry and convert a part of
the enormous sum of money now
annually sent out of the southern
states for the purchase of.the neces
sities of life into a permanent asset
and available working capital for
the further endowment and expan
sion of home industries,
The failure to develop the beef
industry more rapidly up to this
time is largely due to a lack of ap
preciation of die true feeding value
of cotton seed meal and hulls and
other forms of roughness which may
be used advantageously for this
purpose in the south. It has often
happened also that many who have
attempted to feed cattle have not
selected the animals witli care as
to breeding and desirable qualities,
kept them free of ticks or feed them
under rational conditions. There
is a right way to do everything, and
the more nearly it is done in accord
witli the dicatates of nature the
greater the returns to the farmer.
In the feeding of beef cattle on
meal and hulls one should first erect
some type of cheap shelter to pro
tect the feeding troughs and the
animals during winter. We are in
clined to conclude that because our
winters are not severe like those of
the north no shelter is needed. Our
cold, wet rains, however, produce as
much discomfort to animals as the
more severe winter of northern
climates. Therefore, some protect
against the damp, raw winds and
heavy rainfall is essential. For the
feeding of a few cattle, such as
should be kept on every plantation,
the erection of a suitable shelter
may be accomplished at a trilling
cost. Some posts cut from the
woods and sunk into the ground,
boarded up on the north and west
sides and covered with some of the
special roofiug mateiialsnow on the
market will afford adequate protect
ion to stock. To turn cattle loose in
in 0 ■' - n 11 where the ground be-w -
come [wet and the mud several in
ches deep is a mistake. They will
tail to tnrive under those conditions,
and probably some one will say that
the trouble is due to the feeding of
meal and nulls which produce sick-
no's and blindness. It is possible to
t. k ■ corn and kill an animal: it is
equally possible to take cotton seed
meal and hulls and accomplish the
same resuit. In either instancy the
foodstuff would be used irrationally,
and when mt sickness or blindness
occurs, it is a distinct evidenee
of mismanagement. In some
instances the writer thinks this inis
been due to feeding the meals and
hull.; in open feeding troughs, and
failing to clean those out. As a re
sult. there is an accumulation of
material which has fermented more
or less and become unnalatable be
cause of being slobbered over by ,
the animals eating from the trough * /
No wonder the cattle got off fe°ecf
and to make satisfactory results'
The human being would resent
such treatment, and one shouIdVii.
forget that animals are naturally
clean and quite as sensitive to dis-
tasteful and unfavorable surround
ings as people.

I he side of the trough need not ■

The meals and hulls should be
mixed by weight and put in the
trough every morning and evening.
1 he rate ol feeding vvill depend on
the condition of the animals and
die length of the feeding period.
Start with a small ration of meal
and hulls and increase it steadily
throughout the feeding period. If
one contemplates feeding Jour
months, and this as a rule wm be
necessary in order to put a sufficient
finish on the grade of cattle avaB-
able, combine the meal and hullsV
in the ratio of one pound of the *
former to six to eight of the .latter,
la otlier^words, lor the first two
weeks do not teed over two or three
pounds of meal with as much hulls
as the animals will eat up clean.
Towards tlie end of the feeding
period one will probably he givin :1
to seven pounds of meal per
1.0U0 lbs of live weight. As lAch
as eight pounds have been fed with
satisfaction. There will be a ten
dency for the consumption of hllli
to decrease, and if some form of
roughness, such as clean, bright
