232 PRINCIPLES OF FARM PRACTICE 



discussion and illustrations should be reviewed at this point. 

 It is a common practice of the farmers of the Corn Belt to 

 buy range cattle at the large cattle markets, for use as feeders. 

 When such cattle are bought they are full grown but thin. 

 After a few months of feeding on hay and grain they are ready 

 for the market. There are many systems of feeding, but they 

 all make an application of the principles of feeding presented 

 in Chapter XX.
