would be tremendous saving not
only in the cost of producing beef but
in the cost Of enriching the soil as
well. In 1914, for example. about l.
100000 tons of cottonseed meal-half
the total production-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 returned 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 economically 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 annual
ly 47S pounds Of oil cake to each Of
her mature cattle, the United States
approximately "a pounds. Further
more. the European feeder is aware
OF the fact that the high-protein meal,
while more expensive to buy, is more
economical to use. Meal Of this quail
ity is seldom sold on the domestic
markets because the American farmer
has not yet learned its value. Cotton
seed and llnseed 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 Eur
ope.
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 probable
ity, past. Hereafter it is likely that
success will depend upon ability to put
to the best use all available products.
A greater knowledge of what these
products are and of the ways in which
they can be fed will result in the
elimination of enormous waste.

Rations for Wintering Breeding Cows

In this connection it is pointed out
also that feeding straw in the winter
will insure under certain circum-
stances the full utilization of sum-
mer grass. In a number of western
states it frequently happens that grass
goes to waste because feeders are I'M
willing to pay the high prices asked
for steers In the spring. With an
abundance of straw OF hand to lessen
the cost of wintering, feeders can take
advantage of the lower prices for
stocker cattle in the fall to secure
ON reasonable 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,-
700 tons year. A larger percentage
tS1.5) of this is fed than of the straw,
but the waste is nevertheless aston
ishing. 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 ST. per cent of the
acreage was put in the silo in 1914
the year in which these investigations
were made. About II per cent was
cut for greenfield and 81 per cent
allowed 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.
Furthermore, almost 4 per cent of the
stoTer is burned, as though. instead of
being potential source of revenue,
IL was merely nuisance to be gotten
rid of as percentage of slower that
Is thus thrown away is as high as or
per cent and the total loss to the
country from the practice is estimated
at nearly S15.000.000 a year.
To obtain satisfactory results from
the feeding of farm roughages, such
as straw and slower, they must be
combined with some form of concen-
trated feed. At the present time large
| quantities of such feed. in the form
OF eottonseed meal and cake, corn,
molasses, peanuts. and beans are ex-
ported for the use of European feed
ers. If the straw and slower that are
now wasted were employed to feed
more cattle. these concentrates could
be consumed at home. The result
