The Value of Different Forms OF
Rouqhness for Beef Making

During the past winter an inter-
esting experime mt with 60 head OF
beef cattle was conducted at the
Experiment Station. The 20 cat.
tie fed silage made an average gain
of 146 pound per head per day; the
20 cattle fed timothy hay, Ito
pound per head per dav; and the 20
cattle fed shredded corn stover, ~
pound per head per day. There
was thus a difference Of ] to !
pound of gain per head per day in
favor of the silage fed cattle. The
silage fed cattle finished off the
best and showed more quality than
the others, and in any discriminate
ing market would have brought a
considerably higher price. The
strong prejudice against using sill.
age for the winter feeding Of beef
cattle is hard to understand, for it
has been fully demonstrated that
silage fed cattle will kill out quite
as we'll as the dry fed cattle. and
the meat is, generally speaking, OF
superior quality. Whereas, the
silage was all eaten up, l3.5 OF the
stoyer and 4.16 per cent OF the nay
was wasted. The gains show that
the cattle fed were not Of a salts
factory quality. In previous ex-
periments pound of gain has been
made for a consumption OF 3 to 4
pounds of grain. The silage fed
cattle in this test consumed 6.54
pounds Of grain for a pound OF
gain; the slower fed cattle 11.1e
pounds, or about twice as much
and the hay fed cattle, 500 pounds,
or 2.45 pounds more per head than
the silage fed cattle. With better
bred animals fed in previous exper.,
iments, the average gain per head
per day has often been 2.1S pounds
throughout the six months feeding
period, which again testifies to the
unsatisfactory quality of the ami
mails fed in this test.
