SUCCULENT FOOD FOR STOCK
Little Added Expense in Providing An
ImaIs With Roots or siIage-Store
Under Feed Alley.
By r. G. wEATHERsTONE9

CBy r. G. WEATHERSTONE0
Just as one enjoys eating an apple
ocasionally-espe during the
winter, when less fruit and vegetables
are used than during the summer
just so the live stock in the winter,
when their rations consist largely Of
dry feed, need and appreciate some
form Of succulent food There is very
little added expense in supplying ami
mails with a reasonable amount of
succulent food, either in the form OF
roots or silage. For a herd Of II or
more COWS, this succulent food is most
cheaply supplied by the use of silage;
but for the smaller herd, or for man
without silo, roots afford an excel
lent substitute for silage.
By care in preparing the soil and
growing the crop, from Is to % tons
of roots, like mangles, rutabagas or
stock carrots, can be grown per acre
They can be stored under the feeding
alley, or in pit outside of the barn
at very little expense. Twenty tons
of roots will supply 10 cows 20 pounds
per day each for 200 days, and can
be grown and harvested at a cost Of
less than $40. The nutrients contain
ed in 20 tons of roots are worth $50
when bran is worth $40 per ton; so
the feeding value of the roots is suf-
ficient to pay for the cost of pro-
duction, besides the additional advan-
tage of their supplying the succulence
needed by the animal.

GOOD SIRE MOST ECONOMICAL
Pure-sred Bull Is CHEAPEST Invest.
ment Farmer Can Make In Build
Ing Up Standard Of Herd.

(By RAY P. SPEER. Minnesota College
Of Agriculture
It has been demonstrated again and
again that the cheapest investment
that can be made by a farmer who Is
trying to build up the standard Of a
herd Of cattle lies in the purchase of
q good pure-bred bull. 1t is not neces-
sary to buy several high-priced fe-
males as a basis for the average herd,
nor is it economical The most eco
nomical results can be obtained by
buying a bull with masculinity enough
behind his good breeding to stamp his
likeness upon the calves secured.
A striking proof Of this has been
shown on the cattle show circuit at
various state fairs this fall One of
many instances viii suffice. Recently
a prominent state fair judge had to
choose between two cows with the
same dam, but sired by different
bulls, for the female championship OF
the breed. So strikingIy similar in
type was each of them to its own sire,
though the dam was the same, that
there was no trouble in distinguish
ing between the two. The one that
had been produced by the more out
standing sire was so superior to the
one that had been produced by the
less superior bull that there was no
trouble about the selection.
The principle illustrated is prac-
teal value to the farmer who is
thinking of beginning a herd with
limited capital, or who has a very
common herd that he desires to grade
up. An average group of calves will
be far superior to their commonly
bred mothers If good pure-bred bull
is used. Such a bull can be pur-
chased very reasonably if proper care
is taken by the purchaser.

The Need of Fresh Air.

Let the breeding hogs stay out

get a good part of their living from
pasture crops. They will be thriftier
and more prolific. As the manager Of

else and fresh air just like a man
