Sheen and Waste Feed.

Several years ago we had seventeen
ewes and just "a many lambs. That
year We were short as to pasture and
so we just LEI them run loose on the
roads \ little grain left in shed
brought them homo nights. Thus they
run all summer Not only did they get
all their pasture for nothing. but they
helped 70 keep the roads clean.
do not argue that You should fol-
low our example, but DO say that YOU
can turn many bad weeds into mutton
A bunch Of sheep can get great deal
If feed out of fence corners before the
fields are planted. Not only out OF the
fence rows, but out Of the fields as Well
can they get a great deal of feed. Then
as soon as the hay and grain crops are
out of the way. small bunch can
keep themselves on the average farm
If there are any children on the farm
an immense amount Of waste feed can
be secured by herding sheep on the
roads Thus small flock can be kept
during the summer for almost nothing
besides there is the advantage OF get
ting rid Of many noxious weeds. =

Steer Feeding Data.

j. H. Skinner and W. A. Cochel an
nounce results of steer feeding expert
ments at the Indiana station in 1907,
1908 and 1909 The bulletin is of de-
cided interest. Conclusions reached by
the Investigators were:
Calves. given a full feed OF grain
from November to May, will make
more rapid and cheaper gains. attain
higher finish, sell at higher price and
return a greater profit if continued IN
dry lot than if turned on pasture for
finishing.
Full fed calves when turned on grass
shrink in weight during the first ten
days and require two or three weeks 10
regain their original weight.
Steers in dry lot consume a greater
amount of concentrates than similar
cattle on pasture.
Cattle. fed on we'll balanced rations
thruout the feeding period make more
expensive and less rapid gains during
the finishing period.
A heterogeneous supplement added
during the finishing period. to ration
deficit in protein, Increases the rate
and decreases the cost of gains.
During the springs and summers of
1901 1908 and 1909 an additional pro-
fit TO that secured in regular feeding
experiments. resulted from carrying
steers to a higher degree Of finish.

Cores Ondencc Grinnell Registerl
Dear Sir:-.Along with the reference
to Mr.. j r. Hannay and sons in the
matter pertaining 10 silos for steers if
not already mentioned. please add that
during the last fva years the late Rob
ert Pice followed By his sons. Cleve-
land Rice. and brother. another fine $50
acre farm q mile east of Grinnell on the
river to-river road, have fed ensilage
TO beef steers for market with much
better gains ard greater profits than
during nineteen wears previous exper-
fence in feeding cattle for market in
the old way on dry feed, and that there
are no drawbacks whatever nor objec-
ton Of any kind to the feeding of en-
silage to all kinds of live stock. They
have fed it 70 beef steers. cows. calves,
hogs. horses and even chickens eat it.
All thrive on il and are benefited by
it. They now have over 100 head Of
cattle that were fed on ensilage all last
winter and IS head are year old Iowa
steers being fattcned for market. They
consider that the feeding value of corn
is practically doubled by making it into
ensilage. and heartily recommend it as
a practical and profitable feed for all
live stock. especially for beef steers
being fattened for market.
Mr.. ]. A. Hamor. one mile west of
Grinnel. has q 100-ton silo that cost
5000. and has fed ensilage from it to
mich COWS for several years. He says
that eilsi 90 from ten acres Of corn
will keep his cows in better condition,
keep up a better flow of milk. and go
twice as far. feed the same cows twice
the length of time as would the dry
fodder and corn from the same ten
acres. Also that he has fed ensilage
during the drought, and that ensilage
fed in the summer time will keep up a
much better flow Of milk than feeding
green corn.
Mr. and Mrs. NJ NJ. Reldon, near the
north corporation line Of GrinneN, have
fed dairy cows on ensilage in both Win
ter and summer. and pronounce 1t a
fine success. Have also fattened heifers
for prime beef on ensilage alone. They
keep their cattle on the number OF
acres in their farm We're it not for their
silo, and that in no other manner OF
feeding could they keep them so econ
omically and in such excellent cond1-
ton all the year round.
1 would especially regret omission OF
above reference to the Rice farm, as
Mrs. Rice and her family were very
hospitable to my son and me, SO kindly
add it If not already given and greatly
oblige. NJ. F. HORNE

snaI, Farms Profitable.

Small farmers are often envious Of
husbandmen who are conducting agri-
cultural operations on mammoth
scale They do not stop to consider
that perhaps they are making double
the profits on the capital invested as
compared to big farm operators.
The man who would start truck gar
dening on a large scale needs to pur-
chase land near large city. where
there is steady demand for his pro-
ducts. The invasion of suburban dis
tricts with trolley lines and telephone
communication has greatly advanced
the value of the land. and higher prices
are paid for it for residential purposes
than for agricultural use. The truck
gardener near the city limits, while he
is assured a steady market for his
products, is also exposed TO heavy
taxes for special assessor ents for side
walks, sewers, water improvements and
street paving that make enormous re-
QUESTIONS upon his income. The small
farmer farther out is exempt from all
these special expenses, while his pro-
ducts command equal prices with his
rich competitor.
The small breeder is also exempt
from the heavy expenses Of the large
livestock breeder, who IS compelled &c
employ skilled help and retain the SER
vices of veterinarian to look after the
health of his herd. The small breeder
can attend to the care of his thorough
bred animals, and while it may not pay
him to initiate his wealthy rival in adj
vertising in the agricultural press, he
has recourse to combination breeders
sales, while every animal commands a
price commensurate with its breeding
and individual excellence. What the
small farmer needs is brains and am BIZ
ton to push his operations, as, con-
Quoting as mall business, he is able to
superintend all the details of his in
vestment and avoid the big expense of
a skilled manager which every large
breeder employs. The mere saving of
a superintendent salary means so
much added to the income of the small
breeder If he possesses the necessary
intelligence and knowledge to make a
success of live stock industry. If the
small breeder has selected good in
dividuals of the most fashionable
breeding for the foundation of his herd
and sells his surplus in well advertised
and managed combination sales he will
make increased profit as compared
with the large breeder, who is under
