On practically every farm in
this county are some cattle to be
carried through the winter. Feed
Of all kinds will be high. That
there is an enormous difference
in the value of different feeds,
even for carrying cattle through
the winter,is etrikingly shown by
the results of eight years feed
tests of this sort conducted at the
Missouri Experiment Station, at
Columbia. The results of these
experiments with corn fodder,
whole, shredded, and sliced, as
compared with timothy hay,
clover hay, cowpea hay, alfalfa,
millet, sorghum, and wheat straw,
are all carefully set forth in Bull
letin 70, by Dean H. j. Waters,
which has just been issued. This
bulletin also shows the profits of
feeding roughness alone as COM
pared with giving the animals a
liberal grain ration in addition to
the roughness. The results of
some interesting experiments are
also reported as to the effect of
different methods of wintsring
cattle upon their capacity to
make gains the following sum-
mer on grass. Missouri is still
one of the leading cattle states OF
the Union. With the increase
in the price of land, it will be
necessary for our farmers to i'm
prove their methods Of wintering
cattle to make this class of their
business profitable. Every far
mer in the county should write
to the Experiment Station al
Columbia for a copy of this bull
letin, and also for a copy of two
recent bulletins, one on cowpeas,
the other on alfalfa growing, and
should at the same time request
that his name be placed on the
permanent mailing list Of the
Station. These bulletins are free
for the asking.-[Special News
