SiIage as Winter Ration.

! Investigations at the Missouri
. experiment station show conclu-
! sively that cattle can be win
!. tered economically on a ration
! made up largely of silage, ac-
cording to F. B Mumford, dean
of the college Of agriculture,
University of Missouri.
In one experiment a ration of
. corn silage and clover hay with
out grain fed to yearling cattle
. for $50 days resulted in a gain
of 200 pounds for the feeding
: period of $50 days, at a total
cost of S11.60, or a cost of So
: cents pound of gain, as COM
. pared with total cost of $15.-
: rs, and 7.8 cents a pound, when
. similar lot of cattle was fed
on six pounds of shelled corn
. per head per day and clover
hay.
These results have been con-
firmed in other experiments,
: which all point to the conclu-
sion that when silage consti-
: tutes the major portion of the
ration fed to wintering stock
: cattle the cost of wintering is
much reduced.

Despite official denials that Russia
and Germany recently discussed a

some sort of a conference did take
place.
At present, however, there is lit
