THE WASTE OF AMERICA.


one OF the Belgian delegates to this
country whose mission was to arouse
the sympathy Of President Wilson in
benalf OF the misery inflicted by the
war. was greatly astonished at what
he saw in this country OF the reckless
use OF our opportunities. He said to a
Chicago newspaper man:
ION our ride from Montreal 10 Chi
cage We saw hundreds OF miles OF fer
tile lands lying failow. We saw or
chards and fields with ungathered pro-
ducts rotting on the ground. we saw
miles of young trees being destroyed
by fires started by engine sparks ana
left to burn unnoiiced. Everywhere the
farms and residences were divided with
wooden fences that contained enough
lumber to build the homes of an en-
pire.
The waste OF American is not con-
fined to materials. Never can Euro
pean believe the magnitude OF wasted
labor in America unless he visits the
cities Hundreds OF thousands OF men,
whose energy might be applied 10 pro-
duction remain in enforced idleness.
I'm the country, wasted lands: in the
cities wasted men. On the trees and
plants, ungathered food; In the cen
tiers OF population. hungry people. Those
are the economic elements of American
life Why do not the statesmen here
address themselves to bringing about
an adjustmnt that viii cure these evils?
III any country in Europe had such
bounteous natural wealth. such limit
less land areas fit for cultivation. and
such unused labor energy, 1t would be
quickly transformed into prosperity
beyond dreams Why. in Belgium even
our dogs work. Every city lot is cul-
tivated and most Of our garden truck
is raised on less ground than Ameri-
cans waste in unused back yards.

pounds of this mixture would bring
the ration UP to 1877 pounds Of protein
and 10000 calorles, which would
meet the requirements of cows giving
twelve to fifteen pounds of milk day,
while four pounds would bring it up
to $50 pounds Of protein and 30,2S6
calories Of heat, suitable for the cows
giving twenty to twenty-five pounds of
milk, and 30 on, Ave or six pounds Of
the grain mixture being fed to the
heavier mixers.
A ration composed of ten pounds of
shelled corn, Eve pounds of wheat
bran, two pounds Of linseed meal new
process) and ten pounds Of corn fodder
per steer would furnish protein and
energy corresponding approximately to
the requirements Of yearing steers
The exclusive feeding Of shelled corn,
as Is often practiced in the middle
west. gives a poorly balanced ration.
Admixtures OF other grains or by
products give better balanced ratIons,
and such radons have usually been
found more profitable. A common
practice In fattening steers In the south
is to feed fifteen to twenty-four pounds
OF cottonseed bulls and six to eight
pounds of cottonseed meal. This is
not well balanced ration. II could be
improved by substituting two pounds
cornmeal In place of an equal amount
Of cottonseed meal or by substituting
silage for part OF the bulls.
AS a result Of experiments made for
several years at the Massachusetts,
state station the station recommends
the following proportions of skmmIlk
and cornmeal, according to the weight
Of the pig:
Pigs Weighing 20 to 70 pounds. two
ounces Of cornmeal per quart OF skim
milk
Pigs Weighing 70 to 100 pounds. four
ounces OF cornmeal per quart OF skim
milk.
Pigs Weighing 1870 to 200 pounds, six
| ounces OF cornmeal per quart OF skim
| milk.
Pound for pound buttermilk has not
usually given quite as good results as
skimmilk.
But another important consideration
where fertilizers or manures have 10
ba relied upon Is the manurlal value OF
q feeding stun. Feeding stuffs differ
widely in this respect. wheat bran and
cottonseed meal having a high manu-,
rial value, while that OF cornmeal Is
relatively low II the manure is care

r N judging the value of a feeding
standard for animals 1t should
be borne In mind that feeding
standards are simply a concise
and approximate statement of the
amounts Of the different nutrients re.
quired by animals. as Indicated by the
results Of experiments and observa-
ton. They are intended to apply to
the average conditions The local con-
ditions will have much to do In de-
termining how closely the feeder can
afford to adhere to the standard.
The standard for a COW of 1000
pounds weight and giving sixteen and
one-half pounds about eight quarts)
of milk per day calls for two pounds of
protein, eleven pounds of cGrbohy-
drates, and four-tenths pound of fat,
which would furnish 25,S50 calories of
heat, but as the carbohydrates and fat
serve practically the same purpose in
nutrition an excess of one may make
up for a slight deficiency Of the other.
In making allowance for the differ
ence in milk yield of different cows
a uniform basal ration can be fed to al
the cows and the amount Of the rich
ef grain mixture varied to suit the de-
mands. For example, basal ration
might be made up of twenty five
pounds Of corn silage, eight pounds OF
rowen hay and three pounds each OF
cornmeal and wheat bran, which
would supply 1.43 pounds Of protein
and fuel value of 23,712 calories. Tt
this could be added richer grain mix
