The practice of pasturing stalk

realize that they must get the corn
crop off the land so that they can SOW

washing, and further that the tramp

The most economic method OF
preserving the corn crop is by put
ting it in the silo, and this method IL

the silo is not available, the next best
practice is to cut and shock the entire
crop so that the land may be sowD tt
a cover crop. If 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

Following is a summary of the re-
suits obtained by Tennessee feeder
last winter with a bunch of ninety
half-bred, or better, Angus and Short
horn steers, under average conditions.
These steers were picked up through
the country during September and DC
tober, 1913, and weighed, October 1st,
a total of S1,770 pounds, and cost
GO per hundred, or $56.3S per head
They were run on good bluegrass pas
| ture until December 4th, and were then
put on a ration of shocked sorghum
and about two pounds of cottonseed
meal per head day. BY January 14th
the supply of sorghum was exhausted
and siIage 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 wheat straw stock,
and were allowed to run on a 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 were kept on red clover
pasture until sold, July 18th. During
the latter part of the silage-feeding
period they were fed about 315 bush.

straw, and about four tons of rough
hay. On July 18th they weighed ILL.,

or a gain of 324k pounds per steer.
They were shipped to Louisville, July

road, weighed 1OS,110 pounds, or a loss

The combination of corn and soy

Finishing For Market.
Hogs that have been grown prin-
cipally on grazing crops should be fed
twenty-five or thirty days before they
are sent to market. When they come
off the pasture they are in good con-
dition to make cheap gains for short
time and their frames are not as well
covered with fat as the butcher likes
to see. Until recently 1t has
not been advisable to feed cot
ton seed meal for periods of
longer than twenty-five days, but re-
cent Investigations have developed a
method by which it can be fed without
any harmful effects. The method con-
sists of feeding in connection with the

dunn fertility. The cost and availa'
bility Of seed should largely determine
which to use. On poor land, however
rye should have the preference, and
on rich land barley will give much the
best results.
With respect to cowpeas and soy
beans, soy beans should always have
the preference, because they have a
much wider range of dates of seeding,
and of period of grazing. They are
richer in protein, more palatable, and
stand up better on the ground; hence
are easier cultivated, require much
less seed per acre, and yield heavier.
At least three different varieties of
soy beans should be used. The Ito
San is the earliest maturing, and when
planted May list, will be ready for
grazing July 10th. The Haberlandt

grazing July goth. On poor land the

The Mammoth Yellow will be ready
for grazing by Aug. 10th. This gives

day that the Germans under the

but Berlin denies this.
In the east, it's the same old

the Russians alternately hating
and being forced back.
Italians have captured Tolmino,

But he worked up through all the

And it is through this evolution
