USING GROUND CORN
TO FATTEN STEERS
Missouri Experiment Station Ha,
Been Investigating This
Question for Two Years.

(By II. o. ALLISON, Missouri Experiment
Station)
Does it pay to grind corn for fatten-
ing two-year-old steers? The Missouri
experiment station has been investi.
eating this question for the last two
years. While this investigation is not
yet completed, results obtained up to
the present time indicate that more
rapid gains in live weight and quick.
eff finish may be expected by the use
of ground>grain. Cattle also feed more
uniformly on ground than on whole
corn. There is no doubt but that two.
year-old steers will much more com.
pletely digest ground grain and the
finer it is the more completely it will
be digested.
The work at the Missouri College of
Agriculture shows clerriy that when
ground corn is fed fewer hogs are
needed to follow the steers. The fig.
ures obtained indicate that from II to
% per cent of the value of the ear
corn fed to steers should be charged to
the hogs, while with finely ground
corn chop it will not be more than 3
to A per cent. The evidence concern
ing the total gain, in live weight on
cattle and hogs per bushel of corn fed
is not yet conclusive. 1t is not likely
that there will be much difference be.
tween feeding ground. or whole grain
If the hogs are properly cared for and
if the feeding is done in lots which are
reasonably free from mud.

FRENCH TONIC FOR
THE YOUNG TURKEYS
1t Is of Greatest Importance to
Begin Treatment Before Com
mencement of the Red.

A French authority, many years
ago. recommended the following tonic
for young turkeys during the critical
stage:
Take cassia bark in fine powder,
three parts; ginger, ten parts: gentian,
one part; anise seed. one part; car.
Donate of iron. five parts; mix thor
oughly by sitting.
A teaspoonful of the powder should
be mingled with the dough for 20 tur-
keys each morning and evening. 1t
is of the greatest importance to begin
the treatment fortnight before the
appearance of the red, and to continue
it two or three weeks after

ing to the report of Miss Elizabeth

LIVE STOCK RELISH
FEED when COOKED
found Quite Advantageous When
Given to Dairy Cattle During
Cold Weather of Winter.

Whenever the question as to the ad-
visibility of cooking feed in its prep
aration for stock is raised in group
of feeders, there is an argument. The
question is one that is hard to decide
Upon, because there are so many
things that enter into it that will deter
mine whether or not it is the best
thing to do. There is little doubt that
in some cases it is advisable, but valu-
able as some cooked feeds are on any
farm, there is danger that the enthu-
siasm for them will cause it to be over
done and the result may be positive
danger to the stock. The old saying
about getting too much of a good
thing may not give favorable results
if carried too far in this case.
Warming feed in cold weather for
one feed a day is a good practice, but
a hot feed three times day should
be condemned. The hot meal has its
place, but as a steady diet it will do
more harm than good. On cold days,
when stock have an opportunity to fill
on warm feed they will suffer with the
cold more than If the feed had not

is very much relished, and when fed
with other feed such as hay, fodder
and other roughage that is not cooked,
will assist the animal greatly in keep
ing in good condition. Dairy cattle
can be handled little differently. for
a little warm feed during cold weather
at each milking, fed in connection with
the other feed, will be found advan-
tageous, as the animal will respond by
giving an increased flow of milk.
The two objections to cooking feed
are that it sometimes requires too
much labor. and that some feeds are
Thde-less digestible by being cooked.
when food is cooked the protein in 1t
swill coagulate, thus causing it to be
less digestible. This is illustrated by
the fact that when an egg is cooked,
the albumen, or white. is less dieesti-
BILE than it is when 1t is raw. Some
feeds that contain little rrotein, as po-
tatoes. are greatly improved by cook
ing, and many other feeds can be made
palatable by cooking that would not
otherwise be eaten by the stock.

Make Hens Paw.

The kind of chickens you should
breed depends largely on what you
are breeding for. whether for eggs or
for market broilers. Then some like
one breed the best and some like
another. This question of breed is
best left for the breeder to decide but
whatever breed you may choose, be
sure that the strain is pure.

Best Time to Sell.

Under average conditions and with
the majority of crops and stock. the
best time to sell is when fully ready.
Holding beyond this time increases
the cost and adds to the risk of loss;
besides with grain there is always
more or less loss by shrinkage that Is
unavoidable.
