DRY LOT FEEDING. 159 



When corn is high and these various by-products are 

 moderate in cost, they can profitably be used; but where 

 the reverse is true, corn alone will prove most profitable. 

 This question is too extended to be taken up in full here, 

 and the student should write to the Director of the Iowa 

 Experiment Station for full reports on this matter, which 

 have been published in bulletin form. 



In conclusion, the chief points to be observed in feeding 

 steers in the dry lot are: comfort for the cattle, convenient 

 feeding facilities and water supply, quietness and regularity 

 in feeding, and a careful study of the comparative cost of 

 the feeds which it is desired to use.
