Z or 8 per cent and the total loss to
the country from the practice is esti-
mated at nearly $15,OO0,000 a year.
To obtain satisfactory results from
the feeding Of farm roughages such as
straw and slower, they must be COM
bined with some form of concentrated
feed. At the present time large guam
titles of such feed, in the form of cot
tonseed meal and cake, corn, molasses,
peanuts and beans are exported for
the use of European feeders. If the
straw and slower that are now wasted
were employed to feed more cattle,
these concentrates could be consumed
at home. The result would be ire
mendous saving not only In the cost
Of producing beef, but In the cost Of
enriching the soil as woll. In 1914,
for example, about 100000 tons Of
cottonseed meal-half the total pro-
duction-were applied directly to the
soil as fertilizer. II this had been fed
to cattle instead, three-quarters Of the
fertilizing value would have been re-
turned to the soil as manure. The loss
Of the other fourth would have been
far more than counterbalanced by the
profit on the meat produced economi-
cally by the meal and the necessary
roughages. Much the same thing is
true Of the other oil meals.
The value of these meals is far bet.
ter appreciated in Europe than here.
Denmark, for example, feeds annually
Ats pounds of Oil cake to each of her
mature cattle, the United States ap-
proxlmately "a pounds. Furthermore,
the European feeder is aware of the
fact that the high protein meal while
more expensive to buy, is more eco
nomical to use. Meal of this quality
is seldom sold on the domestic mar
kets because the American farmer has
not yet learned its value. Cottonseed
and hnseed are perhaps the best
known of the oil meals, but there are
others the use of which as feed could
be probably extended. Roth peanut
and soy bean meal and cake, for In
stance are In good demand In Europe.
The efficient use of these and other
feeds discussed in the report Is Of the
utmost Importance to the American
farmer, 1t is pointed out because the
day when close calculation in feeding
was not necessary is, in all probability.
past. Hereafter 1t is likely that sue
cess will depend upon ability to put to
the best use all available products. A
greater knowledge Of what these pro-
ducts are and of the why's in Which
they can be fed will result in the elm.
ination of enormous waste.

MAKE HIGH-COLORED BUTTER
Green Grass Richer in CarotIn Than
Any Other Dairy Feed-Breed
Has Influence on Color.

Green grass is probably richer in car
otin than any other dairy feed. Cows
fed on It will therefore produce the
highest colored butter. A ration Of
bleached clover hay and yellow corn
is practically devoid of yellow pigments
and the milk from cows fed upon It
will gradually lose its color. 1t is. Of
course, indisputably true that the breed
does influence the color Of the milk
fat; but vary the ration and there will
be a corresponding variation in the
color Of the milkfat in each breed.
In the cows of the Jersey and Guern-
sey breeds, the bodyfat is frequently
of such deep yellow color that some
butchers and consumers look with dis.
favor upon beef from these breeds. For
this prejudice there is absolutely no
justification. The yeliowness of the
fat springs from the same causes as
the yellowness Of the milkfat, and
there is no reason for Directing in one
case to the very thing that is priced
In the other.
