GOOD PROFITS FROM STEERS
Most Remarkable Results Secured at
Iowa Station With Five Different
Lots of Animals.

At the Iowa station, during the last
season, most remarkable results were
secured with five different lots of ex-
perimental steers. The best paying
lot made a profit of $2346 per head.
This lot received 14.6 pounds per
head daily of shelled corn. three
pounds cottonseed meal and 2S.6
pounds silage. Other lots were fed
in comparison, receiving varying
amounts of the same feeds, and some
were fed clover hay in addition, but
the lot which received a ration in
which the bulky part was silage ard
the concentrates consisted of shelled
corn and cottonseed meal. was the lot
that turned off the most clean money.
No station has done as much ex-
perimental feeding with silage ration
as the Indiana station at Purdue.
Many years of continuous records are
available at this station, and in no
instance, from the standpoints of
gains and profits, does any ration COM
pare with those in which silage con-
stitutes an important feature. Last
year 20 head were fed in lots of ten
each The lot receiving silage, oats
straw and cottonseed meal during the
first 60 days, and corn, cottonseed
meal. silage and clover hay during the
remainder of the period, made the
cheapest gains, but not the greatest.
Disregarding the pork produced Incl
dentally. the lot fed on corn. cotton
seed meal and silage made a profit
of s20.96 per head.
The Illinois station has several
years of experimental data which
correspond closely to that already Civ
en-, and it is generally entirely favor
able to the use of silage in the beef
ration. Illinois also found that for a
maintenance ration for breeding beef
cows, silage is a most desirable and
economical feed. 1t cost 4.9 cents per
day per head to maintain 140 days a
lot of COWS fed on silage, clover hay
and oats straw; 4.6 cents per day
to maintain a lot fed on shock corn
clover hay and oats straw and 81
cents a day to maintain a lot fed on
corn slower. clover hay and oats

JAPANESE PLUM IS POPULAR
Many of These Varieties Arc Earliest
on Market and Sell Readily at
Good Prices.
(By c. M. SHULTZl

P1ums of the Japanese variety ara
popular with most growers, particu-
larly in the East. because they are
hardy and come on early. Many
of these varieties are the earliest In
the market, and as they are always of
good color. either cherry-reds or light
yellows, they sell readily and bring
good prices.
They will grow we'll on almost any
kind of decent soil, and do not need
to be particularly coddled, although
they should have all the care that any
good fruit tree deserves.
The Japanese plum differs from the
domestic varieties in that its leaves
are longer, thinner and smoother, and
it has a greater tendency to produce
lateral fruit buds on the annual
growth. It's fruit is mostly short
round and plump.
The Japanese plum is liable to In
jury from curculio and black-knot
than the domestic varieties.

One-half of the feed cost the first
year and one-third for the full two
years is for whole and skim milk.
By far the most expensive period
In the life of the calf is the first four
weeks, the cost being nearly double
that for any other four-week period.
This high cost is occasioned by its be-

heifer is about 40 hours during the

To this should be added the Initial
value of the calf which was estimated
to be s704 making a total cost at
the end of one year of $42.52. This
charge is justified in view of the fact
that dairy COWS are credited with this
item in determining the cost of milk
production. BY allowing SO credit for
manure, it leaves a net cost of $S9.52
at the end of the first year.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
According to investigators in the
department of agriculture the average
net cost of raising dairy heifer one
year old on Wisconsin farm is 1882
and of a two year heifer $61.41. These
figures are applicable to other dairy
districts in the North and East where
land and feed values are similar to
those in Wisconsin. They are based
on data obtained from raising III
calves from birth to the time they
enter the dairy herd. The details,
with a complete summary of the in
vestigation have recently been pub
2ished by the department of agricul-
ture in Bulletin No. 40, under the
title of THE Cost of Raising Dairy
Cow"
There are in the United States over
100000 dairy COWS. These figures
give some idea of the Importance of
this economic problem to the coun-
try as a whole, for these cows must
be replaced every few years. The
cost of the production of these heifers
is a large item in keeping down the
profits of the dairymen.
The new bulletin contains numerous
tables and several illustrations of the
Jersey calves from which the items
of cost were obtained.
The most important item was the
cost of the food, which was estimated
at market value and amounted to
nearly two-thirds of the total net cost
of the heifer, while labor formed 12h
per cent of the cost.
Figures for the average net cost
of the one-year-old heifer are as fol-
lows:
