BULLETIN ON STEER FEEDING
Texas Experiment Station Finds Cot
ton Seed Meal and sIlage Ration
Most Profitable.

The following Is the summary of
Bulletin No. 159, Of the Texas expert
ment station, on steer feeding, by
Prof. John G.. Burns:
1. Though all were fed proftably,
the ration Of cottonseed meal and
silage was considerably more profit
able than either the ration of cotton
seed meal and hulls or the one of
cottonseed meal, hulls and silage.
z. One and two-thirds tons of sill
age was found to be equivalent to
one ton Of cottonseed hulls in feeding
value.
3. Lot I paid $11.30 per ton for cot
tonseed hulls and lot II, $8.16 e ton
for silage.
4. Cottonseed meal at SGT per ton
was more profitable than cotton seed
at SIT per ton in supplementing sill
age to form a fattening ration.
B. The shrinkage in shipment to
market was much greater in Lots l
and III, that were fed cottonseed
bulls, especially in Lo; l, than In Lots
II and ~, that we're fed only silage
as roughage.
8. Though the dressing percent.
ages Of Lots l, II, III and w, did not
differ much, the highest yield was
in Lot |. fed meal and silage, and
kulls.
7. One hundred pounds of sorghum
hay was equivalent to los pounds of
cottonseed bulls in feeding value.
8. Though yielding a slightly larger
gain, sorghum hay at $12 a ton was
not as economical at cottonseed bulls
at 81 a ton.

The old man turned away, but he

The pig that is fed enough food to
keep it growing rapidly from the start

porker.
In some sections where there is suf.
icient waste crop to fatten the hogs.
1t may be profitable to allow the
shoats to shift for themselves.
However, usually the pigs that are
allowed to shift for themselves, and
get fat on the waste, are easy victims
Of cholera. and swine-plague.
There r quite as many hogs that
die from cholera in certain parts Of
the country as ever reach the pork
barrel. Hog-raising as a business
must be treated in a b~usiness-like
way. and II It Is conducted without

IMPROVING THE SOILS
ALFALFA Is GOOD DROUGHT-RE.
sisTiNG CROP.
Good Forage Plant SO Universally
Needed In Southern States That
Glover Should Be Given
Thorough Test

Why Ia It alfalfa Ii not more uni
versally sown than 1t is? l think It
Is simply because, being more able
to resist drought than other ~clovers.
q great many people have jumped to
the conclusion that alfalfa will do
well only on what may be called
~semfarid" land. But that Is a mis-
take, says a writer in Farm Progress.
Alfalfa has to have water as well
rs any other clover or forage crop,
but 1t does we'll on very dry soils
sometimes when other legumes AID
most other grasses fail. The reason
is not that it can get along without
moisture, but that by nature 1t can
do better in going down into the soil
after the moisture than any OF the
other clovers except, perhaps, sweet
'clovers.
By the accumulation Of the habit
of going deep to get moisture 1t may
be proper to say, not that the plant
can thrive without moisture, but that
1t has acquired the nature and the
ability to send its roots down deeper
into the ground to get moisture than
any other clover.
But having developed this habit,
which is nov fixed, not only Is 1t a
forage plant that Is the salvation OF
the semi-arid regions, but also one that
can resist the effect of temporary
drought in humid regions. And since
damaging ~droughts are apt to occur
in any part Of the country 1t should
be the rule on every farm where gen.
eral cropping is done to SOW some al
falfa and make a persistent and In
telligent effort to induce a profitable
growth.
Alfalfa has been tested by quite q
number in many Of the humid states
and been found by many to be salts
factory. l should say that where red
clover thrives alfalfa will also sue
coed IL the land is we'll drained. And
another very important point is that
the soil be not so infested with weed
seed that when the time comes for
them to terminate and grow they will
come so thick and vigorous that they
will simply smother the alfalfa to
death. And in the category of weeds
must be included grass, too.
In parts of the more northern states
II may be blue grass and in the South
is likely to be Bermuda or Johnson
grass. No matter how suitable the
soil may be, for instance. in parts Of
the Mississippi bottoms in the south
ern states, II the land is infested with
Johnson grass or Bermuda grass the
alfalfa will never be able to do any
good. / think 1t Is possible, however,
for Melilotus Alba, mostly known as
sweet clover, to do very well in rich
river bottom soil. in spite of those two
asses And since it Is said that this
clover loses Its acrid taste In the
South 1t may be found to take the
place of alfalfa to a large extent.
The importance Of a good forage
plant that Is a soil improver is so uni
-yersally needed In the South that this
clover shodld be given a very thor
.ough trial. It may possibly settle a
problem OF great Importance in that
lsection.

Many farmers think that they can
not afford to feed the pigs literally
during the summer season. The pigs
are allowed to shift for themselves In
many instances, and Of course do not
make much growth, but one may e
q pretty good profit in feeding at the
present high prices of both feed and
pork.
The hogs will just about live on the
pasture they can gather from the field.
and what grain is given them goes to
growth: and any one who has tried it
has found that only a moderate ra-
ton fed to the shoats on pasture will
make a good growth throughout the
season.
Early spring pigs Of any good breed
can be made to average a pound Of
gain a day by the time they are eight
or ten months old, and a large part Of
this can be made on pasture.
