F. K.
Q.-Does a beef steer fed ration
without corn need to be housed more
carefully than one being fed plenty OF
corn during cold weather?
Alt is a well-known fact that cat
tie on full feed with corn forming
most of the ration do better the less
closely housed they are. Corn is one
of the greatest energizing feeds we
have for live stock, due to the high
amount of carbohydrate and fat ma
terial it contains, and 1t is generally
conceded that ration OF corn fur
nishes the cattle a great amount OF
heat. However, | cannot state wheth-
er cattle fed a ration high in corn
need less shelter than those fed less
corn or not. Cattle fed rations high
in water content such as corn silage
or wet beet pulp need somewhat bet
ter shelter in cold weather. Cattle
not on full feed need better shelter
than those on full feed, and corn is
still the cheapest feed to form the
bulk of the concentrate ration for cat
tie on full feed.
Q.-Is it lack of economy to feed
,, poor corn to cattle?
Aft corn is mouIdy or otherwise
damaged so that it lacks palpatibility,
and cattle will not eat much of it, 1t
is poor policy and false economy to
attempt to feed it. Corn in that con-
dition may prove worse than useless,
and cause sickness or other disturb
ances. 1t often happens that a great
deal of corn fails to properly mature
due to unfavorable weather condi-
tions, as great deal did this year in
certain sections of the corn belt. This
corn is not desirable to market and
can be more probably fed to cattle
than sold at a sacrifice on the market

This is the finale OF a long legal

Gregg, of Pennsylvania, in an
argument in the House in favor
of parcels post, said recently:
1t is true that for years the ex-
press companies have been prey
ing upon the people of the coun-
try who have had occasion and
necessity to ship packages and
parcels over their routs. 1t is al
so true that these express COM
paines have made fabulous sums
from their business. The revela-
tions made in the Interstate Com
merce Commission investigation
into the conduct of the express
business are astounding. For in
stance, it was discovered that
the earnings of one company
from the time of its formation to
the time of the hearings had been
$598, 15S, $50, and in that time il
had distributed dividends
amounting to $43, 500, 1000, yet it
practically began business with
outa cent of actually invested
capital. The interstate Com.
merce Commission. in its second
annual report on the statistics OF
express companies in the United
States for the year ended June
30, 1910, shows that the net oper.
ating revenue of the 13 com
paines covered by its report in,
