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-
lot made profit Of s23.46 per head.
This lot received 14.6 pounds per
head daily OF shelled corn, three
pounds cottonseed meal and 1855
pounds siIage. 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 and
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-
detrimental feeding with silagc 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 10 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. siIage 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 profit
OF $2096 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 40 cents per
day per head to maintain 40 days a
lot Of cows fed on silage, clover hay
and oats straw; 46 cents per day
to maintain lot fed on shock corn,
clover hay and oats straw and 81
cents day to maintain lot fed on

Many Of These Varieties Arc Earliest
on Market and Sell Readily at
Good Prices.
(By c. M. sHULrz-,

Plums Of the Japanese variety are
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 well 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 greater tendency to produce
lateral fruit buds on the annual
growth. Its 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-haif 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-
Ing dependent almost entirely upon
whole milk.
The man labor required in raising a
heifer is about 40 hours during the
first year and 20 hours the second
wear The total cost OF man and horse
labor for the two years is close to S..
The manure produced during the two
years has been valued at So: conse-
quentiy, the cost of labor is practical
ly Offset by the value of the manure.
The item Other costs consists of
expenses usually overlooked in esti-
mating costs These are interest,
equipment, expense for bedding, mis-
cellaneous expenses, share Of the
general expenses for the entire farm
business. and charge to cover losses
by death and discarding. The total
for these forms nearly one-fifth of
the total cost Of the two-year-old
heifer.
The foregoing figures show that 1t
costs more to raise calves to maturity
than is commonly supposed, and they
support the advice which the depart
ment is continually trying to impress
upon dairy farmers, that it does not
pay to raise any but the best heifers.
Raising scrub heifers and selling them
ut SIS to $40 apiece, as many do, is
Improbable except on cheap land or
under other very favorable conditions.
But it does pay to raise the best
heifers, for in good dairy sections we'll
bred heifers are worth considerably
more than $50 when two years of age.
Furthermore, dairy farmers as rule
are obliged to raise their own stock
as it is difficult to buy productive
COWS at reasonable price. In some
sections Of the West where alfalfa is
worth only 81 or SIS a ton, or in the
Southwest where pastures furnish feed
the greater part or the year, this cost
may be great1y reduced. Even where

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
According to investigators In the
department Of agriculture the average
net cost OF raising dairy heifer one
year old on wisconsin farm is s39.52
and Of two year heifer s61.41. 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 lit
calves from birth to the time they
enter the dairy herd The details,
with complete summary of the in
vestigation, have recently been pub
lished 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
Fl 100000 dairy cows. These figures
give some idea of the Importance Of
this economic problem to the coun-
try as a whole, fer these COWS must
be replaced every few years The
cost of the production OF these heifers
is large item in keeping down the
profits Of the dairymen.

tables and several Illustrations of the

Of cost we're obtained
The most important item was the
cost of the food. which was estimated
at market value and amounted to
