Show CATTLE THRIVE ON SUGAR PULP By-products Widely Used by Farmers and Feeding Companies Importance of the by-products of the great L'tah and Idaho sugar factories fac-tories Is scarcely realized by those not in close touch with the sugai and livestock affairs, yet the business of sugar making and that of livestock fattening are.very closely interlinked now as to progressive development. Many hundreds of tons of sugar beet pulp, coming from the filters and the presses of the sugar factories are utilised by the farmer of the two states for the feeding of their own livestock each geason, while in more recont years the livestock feeding by special companies has also developed. In this connection, at both Ogden and Logan, feeding companies have Installed In-stalled mills which handle molasses from the sugar factories and prepare this for feeuii. e'"U.le by mixing with other products! Thvls i ho two chief by-products of t e sugar factories are now being utilized In the livestock business. TH R 1 I III I Cattle and sheep, as well as hogs and poultry, find beet pulp and beet molasses excellent feed. and they thrive on the output of the Utah factories. fac-tories.
