ATTRACTIVE SUBJECTS TAUGHT
At AMEs SUMNER ScHHOL.

Everybody is becoming interested
in agriculture and domestic science

Advantage Of Canned Corn for Steer
Feeding Shown by Experiments

Just concluded feeding experiment
with silage for steers. The results
show that this feed can be used to
very good advantage in steer feeding.
The advantage of feeding silage was
more marked during the first three
months of the test. During the first
three months the silage fed steers
produced beef at a saving of $1.31 a
hundred under the other lots.

"Dairying and home building go
.ogether," said w. w. Marsh of Wat
erloo in talk to the agricultural
students at Ames. mo country has
ever developed great breed of cat.
tie that had not home building as a
dominant characteristic" He told
the story Of certain family on the
island of Guernsey who mad lived in
the same house since 1640 and who
absolutely refused to sell certain OF
their COWS because they descended
from certain blood lines that had
been owned by the family for many
years and had been noted producers
Of show animals. Mr.. Marsh pointed
out the fact that our present system
of farming tends to mine the soil as
was done in the eastern part of this
country during the last century. He
believes that the fertility of the land
cannot or will not be properly main
tanned until the people build better
homes and live on the same land for
a longer time, taking greater interest
III the cultivation Of the crops and
the maintenance Of soil fertility. He
said also that there were nearly 100
men in his factory whose fathers
owned land In the county, and good
land at that, land that would be worth
SIPS an acre at the present time.
Nothing but days wages" he said,
remains between these men and
privation.' Along with this Mr..
Marsh said he could only think of
Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1911-07-11

two or three farms in his whole coun-
ty that are now owned by members
of the same family that owned them
when he was boy.
All this indicates that people do not
appreciate the value of farm life and
the possibility of getting good living
from farm work. Mr.. Marsh then
proceeded to bring out some of the
Inconsistencies in modern farm oper-
atoms. He said that one COW like
Rough I'd of Brickfield would produce
six times as much food in year as
a two year old steer. He then drew
a comparison between the fertility re.
moved from the farm by selling the
grain and by feeding it to dairy cows.
He said that $4,000 worth of butter
removed exactly as much fertilizing
material as does SIG worth of corn.
1t shows poor management he thinks,
for farmer to sell his grain and ship
away the strength of his land when
he could just as well keep 1t on his
farm and at greater profit.
Smaller farms and better farm
Ing" is Mr.. Marsh's hobby. He be-
lieves that Iowa farmers should take
some pointers from the farmers in
the Guernsey island where they think
that ten or fifteen acres we'll titled
is great big job for great big
man" Mr.. Marsh is enthusiastic over
the chances for young men who are
taking up farming as a permanent &C.

Speaking of carp, Mr.. Bullymore
