years old, and weighed Sept. 15, on Andover scales, 3360 

 lbs. They have been worked, more or less, nearly every 

 day during the summer, having hauled 75 tons of hay, a 

 large portion from meadows, besides doing other farm 

 work. When not at work they were given the run of a 

 brush pasture near the barn, and were stabled every night, 

 and given two quarts of Indian meal each, with hay or 

 corn fodder. When doing heavy work in the spring their 

 grain ration was increased by giving them two quarts each 

 of cotton seed meal mixed with an equal quantity of shorts 

 in addition to the Indian meal. 



Yours respectfully,

 To tli e Committee on Fat Cattle: 



The cattle which T enter for premium are seven years 

 old and weigh to-day 3705 pounds. I bought them a little 

 more than a year ago. At that time they were very thin 

 in flesh and weighed only 2500 pounds. While I have 

 owned them they have done all the heavy teaming on my 

 farm. I have fed them on English and meadow hay and 

 about four quarts of meal each per day, until within about 

 a month, when I have fed sweet corn fodder instead. 



Yours, 



B. P. Richardson.
