Fourth Fall Meeting of the Indiana Cattle Feeders’ Association.

The fourth regular fall, meeting of the Indiana Cattle Feeders’ association has been called by President DePuy to meet on the 19th of November at Lafayette. On account of the increased interest being taken in the most recent knowledge on cattle feeding and the great success of the former meetings held, this meeting promises to be the most largely attended of any fall session yet held. The Purdue experiment station has cn grass 80 choice fleshy feeders that will be placent on feed with different rations.' These cattle will be finished for the annual spring meeting of the convention, thus giving the members of the association the opportunity to see the cattle when placed on feed and when finished by different methods of fattening. No better object lesson could be found than this practical demonstration of the variation in the rate and cost of gains and the finish secured-from different feeds. The program will consist not only of the valuation of the cattle and a talk on .the markets by commission men, but also addresses by one or more men. prominent In the meat producing circles of the country. The cattle feediig at the station will be reviewed and the plans for the feeding experiments this winter discussed. It is also hoped that a plan will be adopted whereby the members of the association will make annual reports on their feeding operations, thus giving each member the benefit of the experience of the other members. Every cattle feeder or person otherwise interested in the subject is cordially invited to attend. L. A. Hopkins, of Markle, Ind., has been visiting his daughter, Mrs. Will Yeiter, for several days.
