POWER SITES WITHDRAWN.
Large Tracts in California Are Turned
Back for Settlement.

In aid of the proposed legislation at
fecting water power sites on the pub
lie domain, the secretary of the interior
has withdrawn all forms of disposition
the following lands:
Along the Mellala river in Oregon,
3,179 acres, and along the Mckenzie riv-
er in Oregon, sos acres.
Secretary Ballinger also restored to
the public domain 37s,456 acres of land
in Califoria, This action was taken as
IA result of information furnished the
interior department by the geological
survey, the land having been withdrawn
as probably valuable as oil lands. The
area of lands still withdrawn is thought
to contain oil fields aggregating 3,242,.
060 acres.

Feeding siIaee.

Quite a number of practical feeders
have adopted the silage method One
man In particular having a large stock
farm in Ohio puts up annually be-
tween $500 and 5000 tons of corn and
cowpea silage. which he feeds to his
beef cattle. A 1.000-pound steer will
usually consume about so pounds Of
silage per day. When fed ration Of
this kind, some heterogeneous food
should be added, such as oil meal, cot
tonseed meal or other concentrated
products found on the market. The
feeder from Ohio referred to feeds on
an average about 8 pounds of cotton
seed meal per day to his steers and
about pounds of clover hay, in addi-
ton to the so pounds Of silage. For
beef cattle It is usually considered ad-
visable to allow the crop to mature
before cutting, and also to plant 1t the
same as one plants for grain produc-
tion. The cattle feeder is not partic-
ularly anxious to obtain a large
amount of forage. but he is more anx-
ious to get as much corn as possible.
A crop Of corn that will produce about
so bushels per acre will make from
eight to nine tons of silage 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
fed on this nroduce scour 1asa tha N
when fed on corn and dry roughage.
