THE FEEDING OF BEEF CATTLE
(By Prof c. A. wilson, University OF Tennessee)

University OF Tennessee.)
when fed with silage. High meal ant
hulls were not, however, as efficient
as medium meal and hulls, or medium
meal and silage.
6. Silage proved much more efficient
than hulls. The average gain with
silage and cottonseed-meal was 154.s
pounds; with hulls and cottonseed
meal, 144.1 pounds; and with combi
nation of silage, hulls and cottonseed
meal, I'LL pounds.
7. Silage made 7.3 per cent more
gain than hulls, at 27.7 per cent less
cost than cottonseed hulls.
s. The average cost of pound gain
where cottonseed hulls were fed was
11.3 cents, and where silage was fed
80 cents.
8. Where silage may be had, only a
small amount of hulls should be fed.
10. Allowing that the manure offsets
the cost of labor, and that the steers
are fed on $1.50 margin and sell for
$500 per hundredweight, silage was
worth $765 per ton and cottonseed
bulls were worth $13.7S per ton. Had
there been but a dollar margin be-
tween the purchase and selling prices
of steers only 1857 would have been
obtained for each ton of bulls fed.
II. The average profit for steers re-
ceiving hulls was SIPS and for steers
receiving silage, SLIPS. A much wider
margin is needed when bulls are fed
than when silage Is fed.
IL. In 1912, steers that were the re.
suit of one or more crosses of beef
bred made 1872 pounds more gain than
steers in which dairy blood FREEDOM
mated. Beef-bred steers made 41.0
pounds more gain than scrub steers.
10. The average gain of steers of the
best beef type, for two years, was 1873
pounds higher than that of steers of
the poorest type.

is this way is valuable crop, but il
should be sown only on land well sup
piled with lime, and soil incubation
is necessary at the outset, the same
as for alfalfa. Also mention should be
made of the fact that according to oul
trials fall seeding has not given good
results.
Crimson clover is very valuable
green manure crop, which may be
sown in early fall and be turned under
previous to the planting of either corn
or cotton. This crop is not so sensi.
tive to a deficiency of lime as either
sweet or red clover, but is generally
benefited by lining. Unfortunately,
a stand is not apt to be obtained when
the seed is sown. at the last working

Burr clover may be used in much
the same way as crimson clover, but
requires good supply of lime, and
incubation may be necessary, at least
if the clean seed be used.
Hairy yetch seed is expensive, but
may be sown in cotton and sown later
than crimson clover. 1t does not, how
ever, make much growth during the
fall or winter, and to get full benefit
from it, it must be turned under sew
eral weeks later than crimson clover
In this connection the great value
of Japan clover, both for pasture and
green manure, should not be over
looked, and though it comes in natu-
rally in the course Of time, it may be
highly profitable to SOW seed in order
to hasten full stand over the field.

Numerous experiments have been
made by the Tennessee Station to de.
termine the effects both of legumes,
such as cowpeas and crimson clover,
and of non-legumes, such as corn,
sorghum and rye, when turned under
for green manure. on the yield of the
Immediately following crops of corn
and wheat. The results may be
summed up as follows:
Corn, sorghum and millet are not
suitable crops to be grown for green
manure. The yield of corn imme-
diately following them was consider
ably reduced. Rye is advised, how
ever, as a winter cover crop, but
should be turned under early, when
about one foot high or less.
The legumes can be advised as
green-manure crops, but cowpeas and
soy beans, when used for this purpose,
are not apt to be profitable for the
first few years. If turned under each
year and followed with wheat or other
small grain, as can be done success
fully in the southern and western parts
OF the state, the effect is cumulative;
that is, the soil where the cowpeas
are turned under gradually increases
In productivenesS while the area
where either the peas are removed for
hay or no cowpeas are grown grad
ually becomes poorer until the differ
enee between them is very marked.
In the last two years of a fve-year
trial there were obtained to bush
els per acre more of wheat on the area
where the cowpeas were turned under
than where either none were grown or
the crop was removed for hay.
Sweet clover sown April IL, 1912,
was cut once that year for hay and
was turned under May 10, 1918, and
followed with corn, which made a
yield of 5S.S bushels per acre. On an

Experiments in the feeding of beef

the past four years, and bulletin has
been issued giving in detail the meth
DDS employed. The bulletin can be had
free of postage on application to the
Agricultural Experiment Station,

1O4. A summary of the conclusions
reached in the bulletin follows:
/. Medium cottonseed-meal rations,
in amounts increasing from to Z
pounds per head per day, are equally
as efficient as high cottonseed-meal
rations, in amounts increasing from
to pounds, from the standpoint of
gains. The same rate of gain was OBJ
tanned at much less cost.
2. The average daily gain where
steers were fed in amounts increasing
from 8 to pounds of cottonseed-meal
per head per day was 1.52 pounds;
where steers were fed in amounts in
creasing from to pounds the daily
gain was It's pounds and where they
were fed in amounts increasing from
z to pounds the daily gain was 1.72
pounds.
8. The average cost OF pound gain
with lots receiving amounts increas-
Ing from 3 to pounds of cottonseed-
meal per head per day was S.5 cents;
with lots receiving amounts increas-
ing from 5 to 7 pounds, S.5 cents; and
with lots receiving amounts. increas-
ing from I to 9 pounds, 12.1 cents.
4. Feeders are not warranted in the
use of cottonseed-meal to the extent
of to 9 pounds per head per day ex-
cept for short feeding periods of 80 to
80 days.
