WHEAT VERSUS CORN
EFOR HORSES AND HOGS
(By c. A. Wilson, Tennessee Expert
ment Station)

ihChl DtallOusJ
Wheat has very similar com posi-.
tion to that of corn, as the following
table will show:
100 pounds corn-Protein. 7.s; carbo-
hydrates. 66.7; fat, 43.
1eO pounds wheat--Protein, 11.2i
carbohydrates, 81; fat, 2.
When wheat is worth 70 cents per
Aushel, one can obtain pound OF the
nutrients in wheat at cost OF 1.6
cents per pound. When corn is worth
SO cents per bushel, pound OF these
nutrients costs 90 cents per pound.
One can readily see, then, that the
digestible nutrients in wheat at pres.
eat market priceG cost much less than
they do in corn.
Practical feeding trials show that
for hogs wheat Is a little more valu-
able than corn; thai when combined
with corn the combination is much
more efficient than when fed alone.
Corn, when fed alone, requires sc
pounds to make one pound of pork.
Wheat when fed alone, requires as
pounds to make one pound of pork.
When the two are mixed In equal pro-
portions only 81 pounds are required
to make a pound Of pork. These two
grains when combined make quite an
ideal feed for hegs. Should 1t be the
intention TO feed wheat and no corn,
we would advise that one make up .
ration for hogs of five parts wheat
and one part cottonseed meal. To neu-
tralize the detrimental results that are
sometimes caused by the feeding OF
/ cottonseed meal to hogs, we would
also advise that one make up a solu-
| ton OF copperas In the proportion OF
two pounds OF copperas to fifty pounds
of water then feed two quarts OF the
solution for every pound of cotton
seed meal fed. These two feeds are
| the cheapest that are obtainable for
hogs at the present time, emitting
from consideration. OF course, the uso
OF succulent forage crops.
/ Wheat may also be substituted for
corn in the horses ration. However.
care must be taken in its use for new
wheat is apt TO produce collie. We
would advise that the ration be cheap.
ened through the use Of wheat with
corn and cottonseed meal. A very ex-
cellent ration for horses and mules
would be equal parts OF corn and
wheat, and then mix with them one
part cottonSeed meal for every six
parts OF the mixture of equal parts Of
corn and wheat.
For feeding purposes wheat should
not be ground too fne. as 1t may then
produce too pasty and sticky mass
in the animals stomach.
4 With the low prices for wheat that
are likely to prevail this fall, this feed
may be profitably used for hogs. cattle
and horses.

rLkN NOW TO PLANT
CROPS FOR SILAGE
(By C. A. Hutton, Division Of Exten

sion, University OF Tennessee.)
Al this season OF the year farmers
generally are busy with field work
and are apt to neglect planning for
crops for filling the silo. The best
yield of sllage is made by planting the
crop on wellprepared ground at the
usual complaining time. Good Yields
are secured, however, by planting on
stubble land after a crop of wheat,
oats, rye. or barley has been harvest
ed, A good seed bed should be pre-
pared by use OF subsoil plow and
disc harrow. This should be done as
soon as possible after the winter crop
Is harvested, while the land Is still
moist and mellow.
Corn is the best crop to plant for
silage. ANY variety which makes a
good yield OF grain in the locality will
make a good variety for silage. 1t is
usually best to plant one OF the large
growing, prolific varieties, however,
owing to the large tonnage secured,
pOISHuHl VI NhuV q ioA SO JASANi
but the silage is hardly as nutritious
as corn alone. A mixture of about 9
to 8 pounds corn and to 6 pounds
sorghum per acre gives excellent re-
suits. The corn and sorghum may be
mixed and planted with an ordinary
corn drill, and cultivated as one would
cultivate corn The sorghum adds sue
culence to the silage and gives q
larger yield than corn alone.
Cow peas and soy beans may be mix
ed with corn or sorghum for silage,
, and they add palatability and protein
to the silage, but do not preserve In
the silo quite as we'll as corn or cane.
1t is usually best to plant these crops
for hay to be fed dry with silage,

TIME TO PRUNE NOW.
(By c. A. Refer, Division of Exten-

(By c. A. Refer, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Late April and early May is the best
time to prune trees in Tennessee.
Peach trees may bejpruned earlier, and
grapevines that have not yet been
pruned should have the work done
when the new growth is few inches
long, at which time the greatest care
IS necessary to avoid breaking the new
shoots; but apples and pear trees
especially are best pruned now.
II the trees are of bearing age, be-
gin pruning at the top, and remember
that the purpose Of pruning is to let
sunshine reach the fruit spurs in the
lower part of the crown. Prune heav-
Test at the top. 1t is better to cut out
many small limbs than one large one.
Do not make holes in the crown, but
endeavor to distribute the light evenly
throughout. Prune less and less as
you 20 down the tree, and at the lower
part OF the crown remove nothing but
dead wood.
Young trees should be pruned to
give them a symmetrical shape, with
strong skeleton branches so placed as
TO provide for the best distribution of
light throughout the crown when the
tree is in full bearing. The main
branches should radiate from the
trunk like spokes from a wheel hub.
Avoid cross-branching, and narrow
forking. Do not cut out the small
branches on the lower limbs-they are
needed to shade the trunk and main
branches, thus preventing sun scald.
Cut back last years shoots from one
