In 1908 it proved to be exceedingly profitable to supple- ment the pasture with a concentrated feed. In 1909 no extra profit was made as a result of the use of the cotton-.

Cost of 100 pounds of gain $ Total profit per steer seed cake, but when cottonseed was fed along with the pas- ture the profits were greater than when pasture was used alone. The data so far collected warrant the statement that it pays to supplement our Southern pastures with a concentrated feed when cattle are being finished for the fall market. Additional experimental work will determine what concentrated feeds can be used to the greatest ad- Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama.
