FEEDING SlLAGE TO HORSES
When Corn Was Cut at Very Imma.
ture Age u Resulted in Collie and

CBy c. G. PALMER, Assistant Ycterinar-
ian. University Farm. St Paul. Mimi
Silage has been fed to horses in dif.
ferent sections OF the country with
varying degrees OF success When It
first came into general use for feeding
dairy cattle, the corn was cut ut a very
immature stage. This kind OF silage,
when fed to horses. resulted the same
as Feeding green corn. producing collie,
scours. and other digestive disorders.
In recent years silage has been fed
successfully by many farmers, al
though In isolated cases II results dis
astrously. probably due to one Of sew
eral causes: Cd The silage may have
been made from immature crops, re-
sulting In n very acid or sour silage;
CD they may have been too mature at
the time OF filling the silo. resulting In
moldy silage because of failure to set
tie and exclude the air: CD poor pres
ervation. due either to the method of
hlling or to the silo not being air
tight: t4 carelessness in feeding.
permitting decomposition to start
IN the silo; or 90 failure on
the part OF the feeder to use a suffi-
cient amount OF time In getting horses
accustomed to sufficient feed after
having been fed continuously on dry
feed for n considerable length of time.
Great care and judgment should there
fore be used in feeding silage to horses
and 1t would not be safe feed in the
hands OF one who is in any way care

DEVELOPING THE DAIRY CALF
Keep the Heifer Growing. Feed Her
Literally, But Do Not Fatten Her
What Feed to Give.

CRy T. X. PARKINSON, Copyright, l9ii)
The development of dairy calf
should begin in the sire and dam back
several generations. To illustrate. IL
there is land enough to keep a COW
and money being distinctly an object
II is decided to buy a heifer calf and
raise II. With this end in view the
milkman or butcher Is interviewed.
and. being an obliging chap. he finds a
pretty little bossy. drops $40 into his
pocket and the prospective milker Is
Installed. For two years the beast is
fed. petted and watched over. and at
last the eventful day arrives when.
with new milk pail in hand. the fam
lily gather in the barn to watch the
milking-the result. about eight quarts
daily. At first that sounds very well.
but wait a moment. The Massachu-
sets Agricultural college has found the
keep OF a COW Qeed, insurance. taxes,
depreciation, etc.) costs $146.04 per
year, so let us do some figuring: Eight
quarts for 300 days (the COW being
dry two months yearly gives 2.400
quarts, which il sold at six cents per
quart would return s1i4, loss of S2.0i
not quite what we had reckoned on.
Is Il?
Therefore a future dairy COW should
come from line Of good milkers-at
least. on the sire's side-and will cost
as calf about SIS, but the money is
well expended. and. the calf once
purchased. the Importance of spending
thought as well as feed in its develop
ment should not he forgotten. espe-
cially during the first six months.
Feed new milk the first two or three
weeks, four to six quarts daily d.
vided into three feeds, then gradually
substitute ckirn Gni''c aud continue so
to feed rnti, six n.enshs old. Sk.m
milk and well cured hay. alfalfa or
clover. fed three times daily, should
make the bulky part Of the ration.
Silage may take the place of one feed
OF hay when three months old. and
may be fed twice daily after six
months. In addition to bulky feed.
the calf requires grain to furnish nu-
triment and stimulate growth. Feed
little at first. about half a pound a
day in a clean wooden box. and gradu-
ally increase until two pounds are
given. A good mixture consists Of
cornmeal, ground oats and wheat bran
in equal parts and a half part Of lin.
seed meal. Feed the spring calf In
the barn the first summer. and when
year old turn her into a good pas
ture. when no other food will be re-
quired. Fall calves should not be
obliged to depend entirely on pasture
until eighteen months old. Keep the
heifer growing. feed her well. but do
not fatten her.

FEED BUTTERMILK TO SWINE
Expert Of the Iowa Agricultural Col.
Ieoe Gives Some Excellent sus.
gestions on Feeding Hogs.

(By PROF. W. II. PEW. Iowa Agricul-
tural College.)
Buttermilk when free from water.
used for washing the butter. makes
excellent feed for hogs. The great
trouble as we find 1t coming from
the creameries Is that 1t is hard to
determine how much excess water is
contained in It, At the present price
for feeds, l think you will be safe In
paying 20 cents per 100 pounds for
buttermilk that is free from excess Of
water.
For sows that are nursing young
pigs. It should be fed in very small
quantities, IL at all, and | would sug-
gest diluting it. Better results would
be had II the buttermilk is not put
into the ration until the pigs are at
least four or Ave weeks old. 1t Is
particularly good for growing pigs. rs
well as fattening hogs. The show far
rows at this college are always fed
and finished on corn and buttermilk.
A good ration for sows that are
nursing pigs of an age when no
trouble will be had from securing,
would be as follows; Cornmeal. one
part; bran, two parts, with buttermilk,
three to four pounds for each pound
OF grain mixture.
Corn and buttermilk afford a very
good ration for fattening hogs. For
growing pigs 1t might be of advan-
tage to make slop OF shorts and
buttermilk, and feed corn on the ear

CULLING THE POULTRY FLOCK

The poultry flock should be culled

advantage OF the comparatively good
prices that prevail then. Hens over
two or three years old. the small
hens, the badly shaped ones with
crow heads or crooked breasts. over
fat hens, and hens known to be poor
layers, should be sold. Not only will
the price be lower later in the season.
but the presence of these undesirable
hens will reduce the efficiency OF the
entire flock. Then, after the flock has
been culled, all the remaining hens
should be given leg bands or other
wise marked so that they may later
be distinguished from the pullets.

GOVERNMENT AID FOR ROADS

Bourne. Oregon (the father of the

every likelihood of report being sub

ject. The main subject under inves-

lation. their area or the mileage OF
their highways. In a recent magazine
article Senator Bourne expressed him.

shall combine all three OF these ele-
ments, inasmuch as IL would not be
fair to grant more aid to Rhode Island,
for instance. than to Iowa. although
the population of the former state is
much larger than that of the latter;
or more aid TO Nevada, for instance.
than to Nebraska. although the former
state is much larger in area than the
latter: or to some state which has
already solved the good roads prob
lem by thousands of miles of good
roads. leaving a state with impossible
highways suffering because of lack of
the necessary aid.
With federal and and state aid both
imminent, an impetus is being given
to road building greater than ever
before. The statement Is made that
100000 a day is being spent for good
roads in this country. but the general
consensus OF opinion is that until
within the last year or two results
commensurate with this immense ex-
penditure have not been secured.
There is a feeling all over the country

road building. hence The movement
for a state highway commission with
plenary powers and scientific super
vision by expert engineers. Congress
has already appropriated 100000. to
be distributed $4,000 to each state,
for improvement of stretches of road
over which rural free deliveries
operate regularly. The results of
this appropriation will go a long way
to show whether or not the federal
government will be justified in max
ing still greater appropriations and in
going still more extensively into this
important subject The secretary of
agriculture and the postmaster-gen-
eral have both been ordered to loan
their influence to the investigation. to
the end that actual facts may be Sc
