Show The value of beet pulp should be H known by everybody engaged in feed- H ing cattle. There is, of course, much H to be learned about it. When the pulp H is fed to cattle that arc being fattene'd pot mor.c than twenty or twenty-five B pounds should be given at first to H each animal daily as more than that H would probably disturb digestion too H much. This amount may be increased until fifty pounds a day arc fed. Col- H oncl Lockhart of Otero County has fl decided on sixty pound's as the maxi- nium. When eighty or ninety pound? arc fed the results arc not altogether satisfactory as the consumption of grain is too much reduced and more B or less laxity pf the bowels is induced. I After about a hundred days of feed- I ing the amount of pulp should be M gradually reduced and the grain in- I encased to firm the meat sufficiently. In other words, for several weeks be- I fore shipping the stock, the animals .should have less pulp and more grain I to ripen the meat .properly. |
