Not long ago the price of live stock

was so low that tl farmer might bo forgiven for just “ wintering" his _vouug cattle, fwhiclt m.ea`l1t trying to bring -titeln through alive) but now times anti prices have greatly chang- ed and little dxcnsc can be offered for itttcplllg live stock in at semi-starved condition. it' a young animal goes back or merely holtis it weight its feed is about wasted, that might be tllrrted intoprofltable gain at very lit- tle cittra tcost. lilvr.-ry successful stoclrman knows tllat-he`ilas got to keep his young stuff continuously gaining il' hc expects litem to pay for feed colistlmetl.
