Feeding silage to the Bull.

With the expection of green pasture
grasses, silage stands prominent as a
food for bulls. Like other foods. it has
it's disadvantages, but its advantages are
so great that the former are offset. For
female stock, roots may take the place
of silage and are ortentimes more ef-
ficient; but in the case of bulls, many
breeders have found through sad ex-
perience that roots are very Injurious
to the male organs of the beast Often
times silage contains such an abund-
ance of corn grains as to be too fattening
in it's nature for the breeding bull. In
this case a smaller amount, supple
ment with clover hay or ONE other food
rich portion should be fed. Immedi-
ately after large feed Of silage (like
Immediately after watering) the bull
may be slow at service, but this can
be no more than a minor objection.
The chief advantage to be gained in
feeding silage to bulls comes through
the succulence of the food There is
always an extreme contrast noticeable
between silage-fed bulls and those re-
ceiving no succulent food The bull that

BEEF PRODUCTION.
Alfalfa, Glover Hay and other Rough

1t is generally known that alfalfa ana
clover hay are superior roughages Tor
cattle. The writer is inclined to De-
lieve that the extent of this superiority
is not as generally appreciated as IL
should be. else more alfalfa and clover
and less timothy would be grown
for feeding purposes. The writer has
been unable to find any published data
concerning the relative value OF alfalfa
and clover hay when used with corn
for fattening cattle. Cattle feeders who
have had experience in feeding both
are. however. practically unanimous In
their belief that alfalfa is the better
roughage Of the two. One factor which
materially contributes to this fact is
that alfalfa contains II pounds protein
in each 100 pounds hay, while red clover
contains only 6.S pounds Another fact
to be reckoned with Is that alfalfa is
not as much damaged by storms during
the curing process as is clover. Wheat
bran contains but 1872 pounds protein
per hundred weight and as far as Its
content of protein goes is but little
more valuable for feeding purposes than
alfalfa. Timothy hay contains 20; corn
slower 1t, and oats straw but IL
pounds protein per hundred weight
Thus it will be seen that, as far as We
are able to judge from the chemical
composition of these feeds, they are
not we'll united to supplement corn
which contains 7.8 pounds protein per
hundred weight. Experience and ex-
pertinent both corroborate the chemists
claims.
In an experiment at the Illinois ex-
pertinent station some important facts
bearing directly upon this subject were

Iron Makers of the World.

- Few people stop to think how great
the supremacy of the United States
has become in ironmalSing. Last year
we made more iron than Germany,
England and France combined, and 1t
Is believed We will make this year
more than Germany, England, France
and Russia combined.
The worlds production of pig iron
last year was just about 57,500,00
tons, and we made close to 25,O00,000
tons, or 49, per cent Of the world s
total. This is an astonishing result,
and our supremacy promises to outlast
a generation to say the least. No one
can see where or when that supremacy
will be even threatened.
Grmany ranks next to the United
States. She produced last year about
10000 900 tons, and Great Britain made
about 100000 tons. Germany
widens each year the gap between her
self and England, but, Germany can
never overtake the United States. Ten
years ago Great Britain led the list,
but the United States secured in 1897
first place, and no country approaches
our total output at present. The in
dications are that we will before the
next census year make a full half of
the iron of the world. The nation that
makes that proportion of the worlds
great commercial metal must necessa-
rily become in the long run the world S
industrial leader, as we'll as the world S
richest nation.

An Extravaqant AGE.


One of the most difficult things in
the world is to reduce expenses, and
one Of the easiest is to increase them.
Times of prosperity are conducive to
habits of extravaganza which are not
readily laid aside when times of de-
preston come, and nothing Is more
assured than the alternate succession
of these periods, the first recorded in
stances of which is to be found in the
days of Joseph in Egypt.
The great and Unprecedented wave of
prosperity which is now flowing over
the United States cannot possibly con-
tinue forever. The power of consump-
ton is a measurable quantity and can
not be increased beyond a certain
amount but the power of production is
almost illimitable, especially among q
people remarkable for the invention of
ldDOl DclN llS lilutltlllCl9 III wv
trial pursuit. The laws of supply and
demand are as fixed as the laws which
rule the solar system and everything
done in violation of those laws only
serves to hasten the depression which
follows some day.
1t is no exaggeration to say that,
as a nation, the Americans of today are
the most extravagant people on earth.
There is a vast difference between
spending money and squandering 1t.
The man who spends money generously
has something to show for 1t, but the
man who squanders money has nothing
left but the ashes of the "hot time"
he had while It lasted. Even if ex-
travagance had no other fault it is
vulgar, and as a nation it would be
a greater reproach to be classed as
vulgarians than paupers.

million tons year it does better than
the best judges think it does.
1t claims to be the center of south
ern cotton mill industry, when, as all
know, either Columbia or Charlotte
can Guido it two or three to one.
It's statements, too, as to manufac-
turing plants and pay rolls are mis-
leading, because 1t uses the figures of
our circumscribed municipal Birming-
ham instead of the figures of Greater
Birmingham. A paper made up of mis-
leading figures lacks value, and there
is no use in wasting further space over
it. There is not a business man in At
lanta who does not know that the pay
rolls of Greater Birmingham far out
run the payrolls of Fulton county, Ga,
and yet-well, never mind. The sub
treasury will be located in Birming-
ham.

AtIanta's Misleading Statistics.

The Atlanta Georgian dies hard. 1t
snubs Birmingham and attempts to
ridicule Columbia, claiming that the
former handed the latter a gold brick.
And all this is done simply because the
two cities did not vote to locate the
subtreasury in Atlanta.
Both the Georgian and the Journal
extoll the figures prepared by Atlanta
for Atlanta, but when those figures APP
pear in black and white they lose their
significance. They are chiefly remark
able for missing links and things not
Included.
For example, those figures are as
silent as the grave in the respect of
population. The population of Greater
Atlanta (Fulton county, is not given
and the reader may be sure the popu-
lation of Greater Birmingham (Jeffer-
son county, is omitted The former
was left out in the reckoning because
the latter was not presentable-by At
lanta. The truth is, Greater Atlanta
was distanced in the last census year
by Greater Birmingham, and in the
tables of the approaching census year
the former will not even be in the run
ming.
Nor is word said about tonnage in
the two cities, and tonnage means
business and the use of currency. Bir-
mingham moves annually thirty-odd
million tons. and if Atlanta moves three

BEAT A HASTY RETREAT.
Soldier Walked Into Y. w. c. A. and

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
About Z o'clock one evening a soldier
and two comrades in civilian clothes
sauntered forth from the Illinois Central
depot very thirsty Tongues cleaving to
the roofs OF their mouth, they cast about
them for barroom. The lights from the
Y. w. C. A. beamed forth in welcome. So
they dropped in, thinking it was hotel.
Followed by the rear guard in plain
clothes, the man of gold letters and but
tons pushed his way through the pha-
lanx of girls in the entrance hall, who
had just finished dinner They got to the
end of the corridor only to be confronted

so forth. The mystery deepened There
was nothing that looked like barroom.
After a hurried consultation the United
States brave walked up to the office win

He was given red ticket, for which
he paid % cents.

GINNING Up to January |.

The census bureau reports that H.
750,944 bales were ginned up to Janu-
airy 1, as against 9,725,426 bales in the
similar period of 1905. Last years
crop was 11,919,S6O bales, and possibly
this years crop will be 100000 bales
or the largest crop ever grown except
that of 1904, which proved to be 49,
556,S41 bales.
Although the ginnings are 2,025,000
bales in excess of those of the pre-
vious year. yet it by no means follows
that the final outturn will be that much
greater, especially in spinnable cotton.
The crop is, however, pretty large,
and even spot cotton shows tendency
to fall in price below ten cents.
The 1928 gins in operation in Ala
bama had turned out up to New Years
day 1,199,740 bales. Possibly 100000
more bales will be added, thus bring
ing the, state crop up to 100000 bales.
But in 1905 there was ginned in this
state 1,3S9,000 bales, and in 1904 the
record crop of Alabama was made,
1,470,000 bales. A new record will not
be made from the crop grown in this
state last year.

Scarcity of Labor.

81 am in town looking for men," said
a railroad contractor last night. Il have
work for two hundred more men and 1
can't get a man. and yet there are plenty
Of idle men In the city,
when I say idle men I mean men that
don't want to work. The fact is the bet
ter wages negroes are paid the less time
they work, because they can make as
much in three or four days as will keep
them, without work, for week or more.
I don't remember when wages were as
high as at present, and yet 1t is almost
impossible to secure labor
when negroes are working on railroad
construction they have no opportunity to
spend their money playing pool or In
saloons and If they would be content to
remain on the work for six or eight
months they could save up nice sum of
money, but that is the last thing in the
world they think Of. They want to be
about the town where they can live upon
a couple of dollars a week supplemented
by the earnings of the laundresses and
cooks who support half these idlers.
Il hope the movement to get immi-
grants will succeed, as something must
be done very soon to relieev this labor
situation If work is to go on

Sheffield GROWING.

Sheffield is growing to be large and
important city," said Hugh NJ. McNutt
the well known expert accountant who
has just returned from that thriving
place.
Il spent several months in Sheffield and
was more and more impressed with Its
fine opportunities. Besides its blast fur
naces the Sheffield Cast Iron Pipe and
Foundry company has a large and we'll
equipped plant and several smaller in
dustries are flourishing there.
Shifted is a good agricultural section
and that fact should stimulate general
trade. Much of the best land Is yet I'M
cultivated, and If the business men of
Sheffield would make a concerted effort
to induce immigration the farm products
will be greatly increased. There is no
reason why Sheffield should not double
its population in the next ten or fifteen
years"
