govern to a large extent the method
to be followed during the winter,
When beeves are expected to sell high
in the early summer and the steers
are to be finished for market at that
time, a heavy roughage ration with a
small amount of grain should be req
during the winter months.
Silage stands first in rank of all the
roughages for finishing cattle. For
merly, during the era of cheap corn and
other concentrates little attention was
given TO the roughage, as it was usual
Iy considered merely filler" and of
very little economic value in feeding.
No especial care was taken in select
ing any particular kind, nor was the
quality of 1t seriously considered. AS
the prices of the concentrated iced
stuffs advanced, the feeder looked
about for methods of cheapening the
cost of producing beef and soon found
this could be accomplished by using
judgment in selecting his roughage
with respect to the grain fed.
By combining it with other feeds
the efficiency of the ration is increased
to such an extent that the amount OF
the daily gains is invariably greater
and the cost of producing a pound OF
gain Is lessened. The heaviest daily
gains are usually made during the hrst
stage of the feeding period, and silage
can then be used to advantage in large
quantities with small amount OF
grain but as the feeding progresses
the amount of silage should be les
sened and the grain increased. IN
some places the price of hay and sto-
yer Is so high that the greater the pro-
portion of silage used in the ration the
more profitable is the feeding.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
There is no roughage which Is OF
more importance to the producer OF
beef cattle than silage. The value OF
silage to the beef producer varies con-
siderably and is dependent upon
large number of other factors.
rough folders are scarce or are hlgh
priced, if the grain is high priced OF
If the grain is not near a good market
when much of it can be readily solo,
silage will have a greater value thah
If the opposite conditions exist.
Silage is a great saver of grain re-
gardless of whether it is to be fed TO
stock cattle or fattening cattle. II
will lessen the grain feeding by prac-
tically the same amount as is con
tanned in the silage. The value VIII
also depend somewhat upon the KIM
of cattle to which it is to be FED. II
there is an abundance of rough TOD
ders which can not be marketed, Sill
age will not be so valuable. But in
case of this kind the silage would
prove more valuable if used for the
calves and pregnant COWS and the
coarse folders used for the other
stock.
For wintering the entire breeding
herd there is no roughage better than
silage All of the animals will relish
a ration containing it and 1t will Gre
ate good appetite for all other feeds.
Cows that are fed all of the silage
they will consume along with clover
hay will go through the winter in fine
shape and make small gains. If the
amount of silage is limited, more
economical method of wintering them
will be to reduce the silage TO half
ration, letting them have the run of
straw stack and feeding about two
pounds of cottonseed meal or oil meal
per day.
Some dry coarse fodder or straw
should always be kept before animals
getting silage, as it reduces the
amount of silage consumed and pre-
vents the bowels from becoming too

loose. The succulent feed will cause
the breeding COWS to give good flow
of milk even though the calf be born
in midwinter, and a thrifty calf will
result If the silage is free from mold
or rotten spots there will be no danger
in feeding it to breeding cows.
Silage is especially beneficial for
calves which have just been weaned.
They take to this ration quicker than
to dry feed and there is usually little
loss in weight from the weaving. The
silage should be supplemented with
some good leguminous hay as alfalfa,
cowpea, or clover, and the calves
should be given a small amount OF
Grain. A mixture of one-half corn
chop and one-half cottonseed meal is
excellent.
Each farmer will have to plan the
rations for his cattle according to the
amount of the various feeds he has on
hand. Stockers can be wintered on
silage and some good hay, fodder, or
straw, but this may not always be the
most profitable. When hay Is high
nriced and grain is reasonably cheap
or plenty of silage Is available, It may
he more economical to omit the hay
oltogether. A ration of corn silage
alone has often been profitable for thin
cattle.

SUPPLY OF TOBACCO PLANTS
open-Air Beds Are Cheapest and Give
Quicker Start-Seed Should
Be SoWn Evenly.

The successful tobacco planter must
raise his own plants; open-air BEDS
are the cheapest for the main supply
As a rule, plants raised In open ar
stand transplanting better, and usu-
ally get a quicker and better start
than those raised in a hotbed or cold
frame, covered with cheese cloth or
canvas. Choose for the plant PED
sheltered spot, protected on the north
and west sides by a belt OF trees, close
board fence or building. Have the
ground plowed and well narrowed. ii
not too near any of the buildings, dry
brush should be spread over the pea
and burnt after the soil has cooieu
harrow once or twice to mix the ashes
with the earth, then SOW the seed ana
rake it in. A bed ten feet square Will
furnish enough plants for one Acre.
The amount of seed required 10 SO"
this space is one teaspoonfuI. me
seed should be sown evenly. Sow one
half the seed lengthwise or the beo
and the other half across the bed.
Cover the seed with fine rake-or
brush. Some planters tread the seed
in. This quantity of seed, properly
sown, is sufficient to produce stout,
stocky, short-stemmed plants, with an
abundance of fbrous roots for one
acre. If ground is rather poor, SOW
one gill of fine animal bone meal to
every 3x6 space. No animal manure
should be used, as it will bring In
weeds and grass. Expert growers use
the same ground each season for
growing their plants. This same meth
cd is followed by market gardeners In
growing cabbage, cauliflower and to-
mato plants for the main crop. Bet
ter plants can be grown and at the
least cost. If the season should be
bad and the soil dry, the beds must
be watered late in the evening and
the plants busted every morning with
sifted wood ashes and SCOT to keep of
the fly.
