Quite a number OF practical feeders
have adopted the silage method. One
man In particular having large stock
farm In Ohio puts up annually be-
tween $500 and 1000 tons Of corn and
cowpea silage. which he feeds to his
beef cattle. A 1.000-pound steer viii
usually consume about so pounds OF
silage nee day. When fed a ration OF
this kind. some heterogeneous food
should be added. such as oil meal, cot
fonseed meal or other concentrated
products found on the market. The
feeder from Ohio referred to feeds on
an average about pounds of cotton
seed meal per day to his steers and
about pounds OF clover hay. in addi-
tion to the 50 pounds OF silage For
Deer cattle It Is usually considered ad-
visaDie TO allow the crop to mature
before cutting. and also to plant II the |
same as one plants for grain produc- |
ton. The cattle feeder is not partlc-
uiarly anxious to obtain a large
amount OF forage, but he is more anx-
lous TO get as much corn as possible.
A crop Of corn that will produce about
% bushels per acre will make from
eight to nine tons Of siIage planted In
the usual way and harvested when
mature. 1t is stated by feeders who
are using silage. and similar reports
have come from stations. that cattle

PROFIT FOR THE SEAT HOLDERS
Merchants May Now Sell for Twice
the Amount They Paid when
the Exchange Was First
Organized.

Members Of the Omaha Grain exchange
voted to increase the price of membership
from $500 to $1,000 Tuesday afternoon
The vote was 95 to IL in favor OF the
amendment to the constitution increasing
the price Of seat
The membership is limited to 200 and the
capital stock was increased from 100000 to
$500 600 as a result OF the vote.
\ number of the merchants of the ex-
change took out membership at the time
of the organization in 1908 to boost the
proposition with no idea of reaping any
particular benefit. Now that applications
from grain firms have been received to an
extent that will make the exchange a
purely grain organization, some Of those
whose interests are not affiliated with
that branch OF commerce want to sell their
membership and realize whatever they can
on their investment ANY member of the
exchange can sell his seat for any sum
lie wishes, but when applications are made
through the exchange proper the price for
a seat will be $1,000 This indicates that
the exchange is in "a growing and health
