on THE FEEDING OF SILAGE
Merits OF Different RatiOns Shown i'm
Agricultural Bulletins.

Hundreds of brand-new silos have
been opened in Missouri during the
last few weeks, or will be in the near
future. Many of the owners of these
new silos will get their first expert
ence with silage by feeding it to fat
tening cattle. The question in the
minds is, How can l feed silage to
beef cattle, so as to get the most eco
nOmical returns from the feed?"
The Missouri Experiment Station
has been working on this problem
since 1910. Some definite conclusions
have been reached which are publish
ed in Bulletin No. 112, entitled Corn
Silage for Fattening 2-year-old
Steers" The purpose of the expert
ment were: First, to compare corn
silage with clover hay, when each is
fed as the only roughage in fatten-
ing ration; second, to compare silage
with shock corn, for fattening cat
tie; third, to learn the value of dry
roughage, as clover hay, when fed in
addition to silage; fourth, to learn the
value of a nitrogenous concentrate.
The steers that were fed silage as
the only roughage made their gains
so much more economically than those
fed clover hay as the only roughage,
that they returned s197 greater profit
a head. 1t was found that ton of
silage as used in this experiment, was
approximately equal to half a ton of
clover hay. However. the silage-fed
cattle did not continue to do well after
80 days of feeding. The addition of
clover hay to the silage ration was
found to be decidedly profitable.
A ton of dry matter in the form of
Isilage yielded 80 per cent greater profit
than ton of dry matter in shock
corn. The Importance of a nitroge-
nous concentrate in the silage ration
was clearly shown. The steers re-
ceiving linseed oil meal returned over
So greater profit head than those
with no nitrogenous concentrate.
The group of steers receiving a ra-
tion of shelled corn, linseed oil meal,
corn silage and clover hay, made the
largest gains in weight, made the most
economical gains. were the best fin
ished and yielded the greatest profit
head. Practical cattle feeders are
urged to send for the bulletin and
study the rations fed and the results
each yielded.

WILD AND TAME PHEASANTS.

The titled English woman who re-
Gently persuaded the customs officers
in New York that the pheasant feath-
ers on her hat were not those of a
wild bird, escaped paying duty on
them. But she has caused annoyance
TO her sport-loving friends in England
who are in the midst of the pheasant
hunting season. If the pheasant is
a domestic fowl, it is hardly sports
manlike to spend so much time, ener-
gy and bravery in hunting and shoot
ing each fall.
The reply of one of the mighty hunt
ers that the pheasant can be domesti-
Gated only ii you put salt on its tail
does not seem an adequate defense OF
the spOrtsmen for killing the beautiful
birds by the thousands, or of the soci-
ETY. women for evading tariff duty
Wild or tame, is such hunting truly
sport. or is such millinery humane?

BACK TO NATURE.

Now comes a wise man in the per-
son of Henry Oldys of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
says that American birds are respon-
sible for American ragtime. Do not
conclude that Mr.. Oldys has grudge
at the birds He is bird lover and
he considers his statement a compli-
ment
Mr.. Oldys traces ragtime from the
rolicking folk songs of negroes and
Italians, who in turn got it from the
birds. He says he has actually heard
birds singing bits of ragtime, and
what is more important, he has seen
them dance. Perhaps here is solution
to some of the modern dances.
Undoubtedly nature was responsible
for the grizzly bear, the Bunny Hug
and the Boston apologies to the Hub
ites). The Turkey Trot was evolved
from the poultry yard and it was prob
ably some enthusiastic lover of worms
who gave Paris the Crawl. Now it is
beholden upon someone to go into the
woods and seek justification for the
Tango and the South American Ma

Bees are the only living things that
can be sent by parcel post. Evidently
the postal authorities have no fear of

may be sent by parcel post. Twenty
five hundred sample bricks went
through one postoffice on New Years
Day.
The manager of the Wells Fargo Ex-
press Company at Columbia says that
The express companies do not consider
themselves competitors of the United
States Government. Their province is
distinct from that of the parcel post
AS TO the merits and demerits of the
| parcel post he would not commit him
self. He is of the opinion that the

parcel post. Merchants here do not
use it extensively.
Express Official NOn.COmmittal.
He thinks that the Government, in
instituting the parcel post, has under
| taken vast business, so vast that his
| minds eye cannot take it in. 1t may
be a financial success, but it will be
two years at least, before the taxpay-
| er will know. After eighteen months
trial. statistics will be sent to the
Postmaster General and compiled into
report form.
AS to the probability of the cooper
alton of the express companies with
the parcel post, the manager would
only say that that, too, was beyond
his vision into the future. He says
that need not concern this generation
AS manager of the company, he
would not make any statement con-
| cerning the increase or decrease of the
Wells Fargo Company's business. All
| business tiuctuates. he said, and it is
not easy to say what is the cause OF
the fiuctuation.

CARRYING A NATIONS BUNDLES
Uncle Sam Picked Out Big Task When He
Undertook to Establish Parcel
Post System.

Father Time divided cartoon honors
with the parcel postman on New Years
Day. The parcel postman was on the
front page of all the metropolitan pa
pers. He was portrayed, in most in
stances, as a beast of burden with the
additional straw that broke the
camel's back.
The parcel post was established in
the United States January l. England
has had parcel post for several years
and, perhaps, the system may be said
to have been imported rather than
originated by Uncle Sam.
The first six months, this delivery
system was largely experimental. Dur
ing that time the Postotfice Depart
ment found some of its requirements
impractical. July many new orders
were issued by the Postmaster Gen
eral, and since that time the system
has been greatly improved and is now
OF real service.
The special parcel post stamp is no
longer necessary. That requirement
in particular made the parcel post in
convenient, especially for suburban
ties. 1t was not fully understood by
the people in the beginning. and the
postmen were kept busy returning
packages without parcel post stamps
The people objected to the inconven-
fence. The July orders removed the
objection.
Packages Now Sent {. 0. ID.
Not only have the objections been
removed, but some attractive features
have been added to the parcel post
system. James H. Guitar, Columbia s
postmaster, says that packages may
now be sent c. o. d.
Packages valued at 81 to $25 may
be insured for their full value for 5S
cents; from $25 to $50 for 10 cents, etc
August 10. an order TO deliver, in the
first and second zones, packages that
weigh 20 pounds went into effect
Eleven pounds is the maximum weight
of packages delivered in the other
zones.
All parcel post packages must have
return address on them, and must
be mailed at the main office or par
eel post station.
Mr.. Guitar says that the mail in the
first and second zones has increased
enormously, the farmers and mail or,
der houses using the parcel post ex-
tensively.
The postmaster expects an unpre.
cedented mail at Christmas time
Packages should be mailed not later
than December IS, to insure delivery
Christmas Day.
The location of a town in its prop.
er zone still causes the clerks some
trouble. The zone must be known be,
cause the rate of postage is based OF
