prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The waste In he United States of
vast quantity of feed available for cat
tie is one of the important factors In
causing high meat prices, according to
Part " of comprehensive survey OF
the meat situation in this country, re-
Gently completed by the department OF
agriculture. The failure to make use
of this wasted material, says the re-
port, has diminished profits from cat
tie feeding, has unnecessarily in
creased the cost of meat production,
and has discouraged many farmers
from properly rounding out their agri-
cultural activities in carrying on cat
tie raising.
According to the report the loss in
grain straw and corn slower amounts
to more than $100,000000 annually.
Both of these products are disposed
of most economically when fed to
cattle in connection with some form
of concentrated feed. Straw is eSpe-
cially valuable in carrying the breed
ing herd through the winter, in win
tering stockerS, and as a supplement
t.lry roughage for fattening cattle.
Slower, too, is an excellent feed for
wintering cattle, especially mature
breeding cows. Nevertheless, in many
sections of the country where these
products are abundant, little attempt

value for these purposes.
OF an annual straw crop of approx
mately 120000,000 tons, it is estimated
that only two-thirds is put to its best
use-live-stock production. Of the re-
mainder little more than one-half is
sold or turned under and the reSt-15
per cent of the total crops burned.
Burning is practically an absolute
waste and although blowing under
does contribute something to soil fer
tility, the benefit to the land is less
than that which would be derived from
the use of the straw to produce ma
nure. "Of all systems of obtaining
permanent soil fertility" says the re-
port, none is so practical or as easily
available as that of feeding live stock"
The average value of all kinds of
straw is placed at about So a ton. In
many sections, of course, no such price
can be realized for it, and as a matter
of fact only about s per cent of the
crop actually is sold. The figure men
toned, however may be taken us rep
resenting the value to the farmer of
straw if he will use it properly in his
farming operations as feed or bedding.
In order to illustrate how this may be
done the report gives three sample ra-
tons for wintering a breeding herd of
beef cattle on straw combined with
silage, shock corn, and cOttonseed or
linseed meal. Any one of these ra-
tons, it is said, will prove economical.
They are as follows:

In this connection it is pointed out
also that feeding straw in the winter
will insure under certain circum-
stances the full utilization of summer
grass. In a number of western states
it frequently happens that grass goes
to waste because feeders are unwill-
ing to pay the high prices asked for
steers in the spring. With an album
dance of straw on hand to lessen the
cost of wintering, feeders can take adj
vantage of the lower prices for stocker
cattle in the fall to secure on reason
able terms at that time enough stock
to pasture all the grass the following
year.
The production of corn slower is
about twice that of grain straw,
amounting to approximately 245,OOO,-
600 tons year. A larger percentage
-S1.5-of this is fed than of the straw
but the waste is nevertheless astonish-
ing. For this, poor methods of feeding
are largely responsible. BY far the
most economical method of handling
corn is by enSiling, but as matter
of fact only 81 per cent of the acre
age was put in the silo in 1914. the
year in which these investigations
were made. About IL per cent was
cut for green feed and 81 per cent al
lowed to mature for grain. 1t is in
the last portion of the acreage that
the greatest waste occurs. Stripping
the leaves from the stalks which are
subsequently burned, removing the
stalk above the top ear only, leaving
the stalks to stand in the field until
the loss of leaves and teaching have
removed much of their fertilizing
value, are all unthrifty methods. Fur
thermore, almost per cent of the
stOVer is burned as though. instead of
being potential source of revenue, it
was merely nuisance to be got
rid of as Il preliminary to blowing In
some states the percentage of slower
that is thus thrown away is as high as
4 or S per cent and the total loss TO
the cocntry from the practice is esti-
mated at nearly S15,000000 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 neal 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 a ire

mendous saving not only in the cost
enriching the soil as well. In 1914,
for example, about 100000 tons Of
cottOnseed meal-half the total pro-
duction-were applied directly to the
soil as fertilizer. If 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
47S pounds of oil cake to each of her
mature cattle, the United States APP
prOXimately "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 linseed are perhaps the best
known of the oil meals, but there are
others the use of which as feed could
be profitably extended. Both 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, it is pointed out, because the
day when close calculation in feeding
was not necessary is, in all probability,
past. Hereafter it 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 ways in which
they can be fed will result in the elm
nation of enormous waste.

JAPAN WILL HELP CHINA
Will Float Big Loan Chinese Finan-
ciers Failed to Get in This
Country.

Japan is preparing to lend S3o00O,-
900 to China. This is the result of the
failure of China to float loan in
New York. Like ourselves, the Jap
anese have made money out of the war
and are able to extend credit to other
countries. This loan will strengthen
Japan's influence in China, but we
have no right to object. We would not
help China. Those who say Japan will
dominate China and that trade will
follow money are probably right We
can learn something from Japan.
Just as China is within Japan's
sphere of influence so is all Latin
America within our sphere of in
fluence. We have no designs on our
neighbors other than our desire to
trade with them and to have peace in
this hemisphere. Most of the Latin
American republics need money quite
as much as China does. We have more
available capital than any other coun-
try, perhaps more than all other ma
tons combined. The United States is
the only place where sufficient money
can be found at present to meet the
requirements of Latin America. If we
invest money we will secure trade just
as we expect Japan to do in China. In
stead of weeping about lost opportuni-
ties in the Orient let us improve our
own in the Americas. No complica-
tons with other Great Powers about
open doors and spheres of influence
need be feared in this hemisphere and
our exporters will find fewer difficult
ties in the languages and trade GUS
toms. Losing a chance in China is a
good reason for not losing others in
the Americas.-New York Commercial

The other would sit beside me
With my arm around her waist.
1t seems strange to me-the great
number of letters that come to me
from youths, men who have supposed
ly arrived at the years of discretion
and, indeed, men of older years, ask
ing if l think their future happiness
would be safe if they took for wife
a girl in her early teens.
The youth of One-and-twenty might
headlong into matrimOny at an early
age and with so young a mate, but the
man of thirty or over cannot afford to
juggle with his future peace of mind
AT sixteen, or Whereabouts, a girl pos
sesses the heart and inexperience of a
child. No matter how you may try TO
figure it out to the contrary, the plain
truth is that an old head cannot be put
on young shoulders.
The world would stand aghast at
the very mention of boy of sixteen
taking upon himself the cares and re-
Sponsibilities of being husband to a
mature spouse. The situation the 9th
or way is quite as incongruous. Every
girl, under the right auspices, is in
tended to make a good wife, but not
at so tender an age. The very young
girl has not the right conception of
what true love really is. No faith
should be placed in her protestations to
the contrary. She only imagines her
heart is responding to loves call. Her
ineXperience should bar her from be-
ing expected to preside well and jul
diciouSly over husbands home. While
il is true that she may have been
obliged to take the helm under her
fathers roOf-that was different.
There was but one head to that
home, and that head was-father. The
'yCuthful hOusekeeper was not allowed
to have full free rein. Father con-
scented to this expenditure or refused
that one, as his judgment dictated. The
girls powers to run the house as she
would like were wisely curtailed. AS
a wife, the restraint would be removed.
Who could expect the child would dis
play womanly ability which only years
of experience could properly develop?
Philosophers have decided that the
trueSt happiness has existed and ever
will exist where the husband is older
than the wife, but by no means should
he be double-never three times-her
age if true love should reign in their
home. Twenty or over is quite young

dolls up to that time,
