SiIaoe a Beef Food.

There is no roughnge 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 Il
large number of other factors. If
rough folders are scarce or are high
priced. If the grain is high priced or if
the grain is so near Il good market that
much Of it can be readily sold. silage
will have a greater value than If the
opposite conditions exist. 1t is Il great
saver Of grain regardless Of whether
it is to be fed to stock cattle or fatten-
ing cattle. 1t will lessen the grain
feeding by practically the samea amount
as is contained in the silage.

on tie job if he would save a large
percentage Of his lamb crop. 1t is
sometimes desirable to have the lambs
come on the pasture, since they will
require much less attention at this
time.
1t is usually customary to turn the
ram in with the flock at the time it is
desired to begin breeding and let him
remain with them throughout the win
ter. Some t1Ockmasters make a prac-
tice OF locking the ram up and turn
ing him with the lock at night only.
IS n rule. it is not desirable to have
the rams running with the t]ocks dur
inS the summer season, especially
where the lambs were dropped early.
This practice might result in inbreed-
ing, and the young lambs so bred
would not grow out and develop prop
erly.
Ewes which are to produce lambs
should not be allowed to run down and
become thin and emaciated during the
winter season. In the desire to econo-
mize In feed there might be a tendency
In this direction. and. owing to the fact
that the heavy fleece makes it difficult
to observe how thin the sheep may be,
the ewes might become badly run
down before the owner was aware OF
the fact. The ewes must come to
lambing time in good. thrifty condition
or there will be practically no secretion
of milk. and the ewes oftentimes will
refuse to WI their lambs. On the
other hand, breeding ewes should not
be pampered and kept confined closely.
On every bright. clear day of the win
ter they should be turned out to range
over the pastures and fields. If they
do lot have abundant opportunity to
exercise and range about over the
fields the lambs will almost invariably
be born weak and puny.
1t is the usual practice to shear
sheep in the spring. II warm quar-
tiers are not available the fleece should
not be removed until the weather be-
comes warn enough sc that the sheep
will not suffer from the cold. Where
the lambs come early the ewes are
usually not sheared until the lambing
season is over. If sheared before
lambing time the ewes must be han
died carefully.

BRAN AND SCREENINGS.
Government Says Mixings Must Be
Sold For What They Are.

The federal department. looking att
er the purity Of feeding stutfs, has de-
cided that the mixing Of screenings
and bran is not brs II and must be sold
as bran and screenings. The millers
Of the country in their interstate COM
merce transactions have made u siren
uous effort to change this ruling. They
desire the privilege of mixing wheat
screenings with wheat bran and label
ing the mixture bran" Feeders will
not deny that screenings have feed
value, but since screenings contain the
weed seeds, chaff and straw in the
wheat when originally shipped the
mixing of bran with screenings reduces
the feeding value very materially, and
from no standpoint can it be consid-
cred the equal Of pure bran. Farmers
should buy pure bran and not a mix
ture Of bran and screenings at the
price of bran.
