Sugar Beet Pulp as Feed.

Bulletin 1913, of the Michigan sta
ton, says: The establishment Of beet
sugar factories In Michigan has fur
nished farmers a new stock food In
the shape Of beet pulp. This pulp Is
clean In appearance, almost odorless,
very wet and heavy, but really eaten
by all kinds of live stock. AS the pulp
leaves the factory, It passes through a
press which removes some Of the wa
ter. but leaves from SO to SO pounds OF
water to each hundred pounds of pulp.
In Germany pres have been intro
duced which reduce the per cent OF
water to 80. Where each hundred
pounds Of pulp is m de up of 80 pounds
of water and 10 pounds of dry matter
1t is evident that ton Of 1t will have
but 200 pounds of dry matter. II by
the use Of improved presses pulp
can be produced by the fac ories one
hundred pounds of which shall con-
tain but 80 pounds Of water, with 20
pounds of dry matter, it is evident that
a ton Of 1t will contain 400 pounds
OF dry matter. In other words, re-
garding the water as of no value,
ton Of the pressed pulp is worth, as
far as content of dry matter is con-
cerned, twice as much as a ton Of the
pulp as found In the piles of the mate
rial at the factories In Michigan. Ex-
periments In this country and abroad
have shown conclusively that while
the addition of a succulent food TO
a ration otherwise made up of dry
feeds, prodI :es results indicating a
value to the succulent food out of all
proportion to Its content OIL dry mat
ter, forcing an animal to consume an
undue amount of water results In
positive loss. 1t Is, therefore, to be
hoped that ere long the factories, upon
finding a demand for the pulp as
stock food, will SO prepare it as to
leave in it no greater per cent Of wa
ter than 80.
Many of the Michigan factories han
die as high. as 600 tons of beets per
day, turning out fully 300 tons of pulp.
The average campaign is not less than
80 days. 1t Is safe II estimate the
annual output OF beet pulp In this state
with the present IL factories, as fully
100000 tons. The economical utliza-
ton of this vast amount of material is
therefore a question of considerable
moment. At nearly all the factories
the great bulk of the pulp is left to
decay where it is dumped by the con-
veyor.

In Selecting FEEDER

Quality.-We may well distinguish
between what might be called (a) gen.
eral quality and (b) handling quality.
(a) General quality. By general quail
ity is meant general refinement OF ex-
ternal conformation as seen In the
head. horn, bone. compactness ana
smoothness OF outline. General quail
ity Is affected by nothing 30 much a.
breeding; in fact the two are very
closely associated. We seldom ind
good quality in a plainly bred steer
and we generally find 1t in the we'll
bred, high grade animal The desir-
ability OF general quality can not b.
too strongly emphasized. While 1t -
a characteristic that involves many
points and is difficult to describe. It's
presence or absence is quickly dis
cerned by the trained eye OF the In
telligent buyer. 1t is this characters
tic in the stockers and feeders more
than any other we depend upon as In
dicating that the animal has within 1t
the possibility OF making a market
topper or at any rate prime steer.
The ability to select stockers and
feeders having within them the posi-
bility of making prime steers Is one
OF the first and most important lessons
for the stockman to learn. Profits In
steer feeding come not so much from
skill in feeding and management as
from intelligent buying and selling.
The profit resulting from an increase
during the fattening period. OF the
value per pound of the total weight
of the animal is as important as that
resulting from the method employed
in the feeding and management 1t II
seldom possible to produce at profit
gains which do not increase the value
per pound of the total weight Of the
animal. Hence the importance of IN
telligent buying. or the selection of
feeders and stockers of good quality.
(b) Handling quality. Good han
ding quality indicates that the pos
SCISSOR is a good feeder. 1t shows that
the animal is in good health or thrift
and capable Of beginning to gain as
soon as an abundance of food is sup
pied. We speak of cattle as possess
ing good handling quality when the
skin Is mellow and loose. A thick.
messy coat Of hair Of medium nneness
and a moderately thick skin are also
desirable.-Prof Herbert W. Num-
ford.

Injurious Inbreedlna.

A practice that has been extensive
ly tried in the past is that of in-and-in
breeding-mating near relations, as
sire and offspring, etc. The history Of
the greatest breeders the world has
ever known has shown 1t to be an I'M
desirable practice, resulting in lack of
constitution, infertility, and weakness.
Blackwell, Booth, the Collingses, and
even Cruickshank, in a measure, re-
sorted to in-and-in breeding, with the
hope that 1t would produce the ideal
animals they desired. Yet in every
case they found 1t necessary to intro
duce fresh blood into their herds In
order to save them from ruin. The
close inbreeding practiced by Thomas
Bates resulted in placing stain on the
name of Bates cattle that it has taken
generations to overcome, notwith-
standing that Bates was, perhaps, the
most wonderful breeder of the nine
teenth century. We must have fresh
blood In our herds; otherwise there
will result Observation-Disclosures Of
stamina, size, and general quality. II
one wishes to breed within certain
family lines, then 1t is wiser to prac-
tice line breeding, keeping as far from
inbreeding as possible, and yet using
the blood relationship of animals
within the same general family.

A Hoo House.

My pig house is 200 feet long by
thirty-two feet wide, with eight foot
driveway through the middle. That
leaves an eight-foot pen on each side.
These pens are used for sows to far
row in and for finishing up fat hogs.
/ put from four to- six in each pen,
according to size, so they cannot pile
up. We drive through the center to
clean up and put in bedding. l have
no floors of any kind in this house.
Cement is too cold: stone is too hard
to lie on; wooden floors will swell and
retain urine, which will freeze. and
this also makes it cold. l fill up
with sandy soil, so that water cannot
run In from the outside. 1t is the
warmest floor that l know of. This
house is so situated that stock can
go to their different pastures, and
also come into 1t for shade In hot
weather. To the center of the build
ing l have attached an addition, six
teen by thirty-two feet, in which |
keep ground feed, water tank, feed
tank, cob bin and q steamer. We
scald feed in very cold weather, and
take the chill from the water. Wa
ter is forced into the tank by wind

Notes from the Range Country.

ranges in this county are In fine con-
dition and stock of all kinds are TAX
ing on flesh fast There were very
few cattle shipped out from here last
season on account Of the large amount.
of cattle that were rushed into the
markets from the corn producing
states, so the shipments of cattle from
this part of the country will be large
as soon as they are in shape for the
market. There are thousands of head
of cattle on the ranges In this part Of
the state that will be ready for mar
keting by the middle and latter part
of June. There will also be large
shipments Of horses and sheep. Our
county is overstocked now. and large
numbers are being brought in every
month from other states. The pros
poets for large crops of small grain
were never better at this time of year
than they are now. Frequent showers
have put the ground in fine condition
so we will not have to irrigate the
grain this year.-Geo. g. Vanderveer.

Improving the Land Through Feedin

ifnprOHin9 INC Idnu inFOugn Fceoin9.
On many of the European farms the
owners plan to feed their animals
rich food for the purpose of indirect
ly benefting the land on which the
droppings are to go. Immense guam
titles of cotton seed meal and linseed
cake are yearly fed to cattle and the
high-priced land thus improved. What
is good thing for the European farm
ers should be better thing for farm
ers on this side of the water, because
we are at the base of supplies. The
Europeans have to buy these rich
feeds very largely from the United
States. They pay the cost of trans
porting across the water and over
railroads, and for handling several
times, besides the toll to the various
middlemen under whose charge it
comes at various times. We should
take into consideration the manurial
value of the things we buy for our
cattle and other stock, with the OBJ
ject of obtaining manure as rich as
possible in fertility most needed ON
the land.
