In Selecting Feeders

Quality.-We may we'll 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 e1-
ternal conformation as seen In the
head. horn, bone. compactness and
smoothness OF outline. General quail
ity is affected by nothing so much as
breeding: in fact the two are very
closely associated. We seldom md
good quality in a plainly bred steer
and we generally find it in the we'll
bred. high grade animal. The desir-
ability Of general quality can not be
too strongly emphasized. While it Is
a characteristic that involves many
points and is difficult to describe, its
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 market
topper or at any rate a 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 is
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 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
piled. We speak of cattle as possess
ing good handling quality when the
skin Is mellow and loose A thick.
mossy coat OF hair of medium nneness
and moderately thick skin are also
desirable.-Prof. Herbert w. Num-
ford.

swee. Clover as Soil Ameliorant.

Bulletin 223, Ohio Station, Those
who have carefully observed the hab-
its of the wild sweet clover (other-
wise known as Bokhara clover or mel
iloO have noticed that Its volunteer
growth is practically confined to road
sides where the surface soil has been
scraped away or where the ground has
been puddled by trampling. and to SIM
liar locations elsewhere, such as the
places in pasture fields where the soil
has been trampled while wet, or hill
sides from which the surface soil has
been washed away. 1t is practically
never found invading pastures or
other lands which have been kept in
good condition. At the Ohio Expert
ment Station the seeus Of this plant
which were merely thin, but not
washed or puddled. but invariably
without success. The only case In
which 1t has been induced to grow
was where 1t was sown on the bottom
OF an old brickyard at Columbus in
1883. Here full stand and vigorous
growth was obtained. and the crop
was allowed to stand and re-seed itself
until the fall OF 1891. when it was
plowed under and the land sown to
wheat The result was yield of 26.9
bushels OF wheat per acre on the land
where me!ilot had grown. against a
yield OF 1876 bushels on similar land
alongside, which had been cropped
with corn and oats the two seasons
previously.

Sugar Bee, Pulp as Feed.

Bulletin 1913. Of the Michigan sta
tion, says: The establishment OF beet
sugar factories in Michigan has fur
nished farmers q new stock food in
the shape Of beet pulp. This pulp Is
clean in appearance, almost odorless,
very wet and heavy. but readily eaten
by all kinds Of live stock. As the pulp
leaves the factor. it passes through
press which removes some Of the wa
ter. but leaves from SO to SO pounds OK
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 II ade up of 80 pounds
OF water and 10 pounds of dry matter
1t is evident that ton of it 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 so 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, q
ton Of the pressei 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 factoriss in Michigan. Ex-
periments in this country and abroad
have shown conC.usively that while
the addition of succulent food 10
ration otherwise made up of dry
feeds, prod' ces results indicating a
value to the sucsulent food out of all
proportion to its content OF dry mat
ter, forcing an animal to consume an
undue amount of water results in a
positive loss. 1t is, therefore, to be
hoped that ere long the factories, upon
finding a demand Cor the pulp as d
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 - estimate the
annual output OF beet pulp in this state
with the present l3 factories, as fully
100000 tons. The economical utliiza.
tion 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 tc
decay where it is dumped by the con
veyor.

The Battle Of Grass and Weeds.

The dominant vegetation existing
in any section of country. II left to It
self, usually repels invaders. The rea-
son that certain kinds of plants only
are found growing predominantly any
where is because, for the time being,
they are best fitted to survive under
local conditions. Those less well ft-
ted are crowded out, and perish. In
an old plant region, as forest OF a
prairie. vegetation of particular sort
has established itself as the result OF
centuries of competition with other
plants contesting for the same space.
Seeds of invading species. however.
may lie dormant for some time in the
soil, awaiting the clearing of the land
TO germinate and grow. Notice the
new plants that appear where land is
cleared of trees or sod and left to it.
self. So long as the conditions in ma
ture surrounding the wild prairie
grass remain the same, they will con-
tinue to grow in about the same pro-
portions and to about the same extent.
Man, however. changes natural condi-
tons violently. By breaking sod and
putting in crops he opens places
which afford room for strange plants,
weeds, the seeds OF which are carried
thence to neighboring grazing land.
Even then they will not drive out the
wild grasses If the latter are left to
themselves. On the contrary, II
farm is abandoned, weeds may riot for
few years in the broken land, but the
sod retakes the soil eventually in the
prairie regions, and the weeds are
crowded out.-H. +. Roberts.

Developing the Rice Industry.

The work Of introducing new plants
into this country Is proving exceed
ingly beneficial from a commercial
standpoint. The introduction of rice
from Japan a few years ago illus
trates this. Secretary Wilson in q
recent report said: In my last report
attention was called to the fact that
the introduction OF Japanese rice re-
suited in an increased production,
amounting to at least $4,000 of
this commodity In Louisiana, and fur.
thermore. that the impetus given to
the work in Louisiana and Texas led
to the investment of not less than
$20,000.000 in the industry. In 1870
about 100000 pounds more rice were
produced than in 1899, and this year
$1,000. 900 pounds more were produced
than in 1900. With the rapid in
crease in our own production the i'm.
portation of rice from foreign coun.
tries is falling OF, as shown by the
fact that In three years the imports
have decreased from $4,000, 900
pounds to 73.00o.e 900 pounds. All the
increase in home production can not,
Of course. be ascribed to the depart

Injurious Inbreedjna.

A practice that has been extensive
ly tried in the past is that of in-and-in

desirable practice, resulting in lack OF

Bakewell. 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 it 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 1t 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 deterioriation-lack 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.
