294. Wintering stockers and feeders. — Large numbers of 
feeding cattle are purchased in fall and early winter for the special 
purpose of economically disposing of such roughage as corn stalks, 
straw stack, second-class clover hay, clover chaff after the seed 
has been removed, and the like. Wintering cattle with a view to 
fattening the following summer on pasture is a very convenient 
way of converting such feeds into cash. :
