THE TIME WHEN TO ACT
To Keep the Corn Crop on the Farm
10 Important in Tennessee.
(By ]. c. McAmis, Division OF Exten.
sion. University of Tennessee.)

(By ]. c. McAmis, Division OF Exten
sion, University of Tennessee.)
There is never a better time to talk
and think about what we ought ia
have than when we haven't it.
We haven't a first class pasture for
pigs now, and we ought to have it
We need 1t as much as anything else
on the farm IL We have pigs, and every
farm ought to have pigs. If by any
chance real pasture, one that has
made a good growth, thick and well
sodded over, can be found in the
neighborhood, it will be well worth
while to visit that place and congratu'
late the owner and ask him how he
got 1t, and see what you are missing
Every bushel OF corn contains TWEEN
ty-five cents worth Of nitrogen. phos'
phorous and potash. These things
are necessarily to grow corn, because
corn is made out of them. We haven't
an unlimited supply on the farm, and
that can be exhausted. 1t has been
greatly reduced on many farms already
It is just as important to make plans
for saving the plant food supply Of
the soil, as ii is to think about how
we are going TO replace 1t when It IL
gone. The best way to save It Is t.
feed the crops which it has produced,
to animals. Corn is the chief crop In
Tennessee. Hogs make better use q
corn than any other animals, provided
Il is fed on pastures which furnish a.
abundance Of green feed.
Corn cannot be fed at profit with
cut such pasture. but hogs win return
from one to one and one-half dollars
tor every bushel OF corn fed with the
pasture. Above all the hogs viii TO
turn eight dollars worth of corn fed
on the land. There are numerous
cases to be found where hogI
have returned a clear pront Of twenty
ave to thirty-fve dollars per acre
Pork has been produced on pasture
and corn. at four cents per pound, OF
syen less, and sold at eight cents.
To keep the corn crop on the farm
q important in Tennessee. To grow
pastures for hogs Is to make Il posi-
BE and profitable. To fail to grow
pastures Is to naks it Impossible Gnk

Young Cattle Should Not Go
Through Winter In the
Stalk Fields
REMEDY THE WASTEFUL HABIT
Practice Of Pasturins Stalk Fields
Will Become Less Common Every
Year-Feed Enough To Keep Cattle

Or. M. Murphy, Division of Extension,

University of Tennessee.)
Young cattle should not be forced to
go through the winter in the stalk
fields or around the straw stack with
out some additional feed. The aver,
age animal loses about one hundred
pounds in weight during this period
with such treatment, and this, at pres.
ent prices, in a herd of fifty head.
means loss of $500 to $500. Such a
wasteful practice should be remedied,
since by feeding one and one-half to
two pounds of cottonseed meal per
head a day in addition to the straw
and cornstalks, their weight may be
maintained.
Gains can be made so much more
cheaply on grass than in any other
way, that it is doubtless never profit.
able to feed more than is sufficient to
maintain their weight through the win.
ter, but they should be fed enough to
keep them in a vigorous condition.
Often animals become so run down
in condition that they cannot endure
the bad weather, and serious losses
occur.
The practice of pasturing stalk
fields will become less common every
year. because of serious loss from
corn stalk disease. The best farmers
realize that they must get the corn
crop off the land so that they can SOW
a cover crop to protect the land from
washing, and further that the tramp
ing of the fields by cattle during wet
weather is very injurious.
The most economic method OF
preserving the corn crop is by put
ting it in the silo, and this method Is
being adopted very rapidly. Where
the silo is not available, the next best
practice is to cut and shock the entire
crop so that the land may be sown to
a cover crop. II no room for storage
is available, the shocks may be left in
the field until they are needed,
and may then be drawn out and
fed on poor hillsides to good ad.
vantage. In great many communt
ties this shocked corn is now shredded
and stored away for winter USE This
reduces 1t TO a condition much more
easily handled.
The cheapest ration for winter is
twenty pounds of silage and one and
one-half pounds of cottonseed meal,
per head a day. II silage is not avail.
able, feed in its stead about twenty
pounds Of oat straw, corn stover, cot.
tonseed bulls, or rough hay, either of
which Is more than twice as expensive
as silage. II the price of cottonseed
products continues low, cottonseed
bulls may be used to much better ad.
vantage this winter than usually.

Following is a summary of the re-
suits obtained by a Tennessee feeder
last winter with a bunch of ninety
halfbred, or better, Angus and Short
horn steers, under average conditions.
These steers we're picked up through
the country during September and Oc-
tober, 1918, and weighed, October list,
total of S1,77O pounds, and cost
$40 per hundred, or S56SS per head.
They were run on good bluegrass pas.
ture until December 4th, and were then
put on ration of shocked sorghum
and about two pounds of cottoHseed
meal per head day. BY January 14th
the supply Of sorghum was exhausted
and silage was substituted, with an
increase in the amount Of cottonseed
meal to about three pounds per head
a day. During the fall and winter the
steers had access to seventy acres of
cornstalks and a wheat straw stock,
and were allowed to run on pasture
OF crimson clover and rye part of the
time On May 18th the silage was dis
continued, and they were then kept on
the rye and crimson clover, and oc-
casionally in bluegrass pasture, until
May LIST, after which time they were
kept on bluegrass until July 4th. After
July 4th they we're kept on red clover
pasture until sold, July 18th. During
the latter part of the silage-feeding
period they we're fed about 315 bush.
