Come and See f or Yoursel f

Mr, Cattle Fender, we can talk to
you about how Purina Steer Fatena
fits into your cattle feeding operation
how it saves you grain, steps up
gains, lays on finish, cuts your cost
per pound. We can show youfigures
on what other feeders have clone.
• BUT ALL THAT ISN'T LIKE SEEING
RESULTS FOR YOURSELF. So we've
been running a feeding test at Mel-
bourne Live Stock Exchange, near
the village of Melbourne -10 evenly
balanced feeders on each side of a
partition, oiie lot on a Steer Fatena
ration, the other on a similar ration
minus the Steer. Fateria. •
At the beginning, two unbiased
cattlemen, Douglas Forbes of Colt -
Man's and Stewart Blown, Of Iona
Station, divided the cattle and flipped
On June 15, the beginning of
the test, the two lots were as,
evenly matched as possible at
just over 650 lbs. average. On
Aug, 22 the Purina lot showed
241 lbs. gain per steer, the
others 143.5 lbs, Cost per. 1b.
gain of Purina group, 15.130.
Cost • per lb. gain on other
ration, 19,3¢.
a coin to decide which lot got Purina.
Warren Phillips, also unprejudiced,
did, the feeding, and kept track of
the feed consumed.
Come and, see the results—the cattle
and all the figures on feed and gains
and costs Will be on view. at Mel.

With wounded dignity he tells

her that he might as well live in
the barn for all the consideration
he gets from her. Then he says
he guesses he'll go to the stock
sale.
He optimistically inquires about
lunch. (What a dreamer!) She
tells him to get something but of
the refrigerator, and don't dare
touch anything sine's fixed for
the club.
After making his meager meal,
he wanders into the bathroom
and inspects his face for bristles.
His wife breathes a sigh of relief
as, he finally gets into his car,
and drives off to the sale.
After putting on her own com-
pany face, groaning into her
girdle, and slipping on her best
dress, she makes it downstairs
just as the ladies start to arrive.
Club goes along very well. The
singing is a little rusty, maybe,
but' the members compensate
with enthusiasm for what they
lack in voice. The business ses-
sion is conducted with a mini-
mum of conflict, the leaders give
the homemaking lesson to the
usual accompaniment of crying
babies, and the whisper of some
of the members having a private
discussion.
But .your hostess doesn't hear
any of this. She has had her per-
fect moment; it was when the
ladies entered her door. Each
had exclaimed with satisfactory
enthusiasm: "My, but your house
looks lovely!”
