CHEAPER BEEF FROM sIlAeE
successful Experiment Conducted at
south Dakota Station by
Director Wilson.

load OF steers was recently mar.
Keted In Chicago by the South Dakota
experiment station which had been fed
only corn silage during a period of five
months. and brought as killers within
$3.50 as much per hundred as the best
steers sold. The steers were on the
ROAD without any feed in the car for
50 hours and shrunk only 40 pounds
per mead on rainy day. The average
gain per mead during the 148-day feed
ing period was two pounds. These
steers consumed 81 tons of silage and
made gain Of 1921 pounds, or an ay-
erage Of 296 pounds each.
This successful experiment was per-
formed under the direction Of James
w. Wilson, professor Of animal hus-
bandry and director Of the experiment
station, and explodes the theory that
corn silage should be fed sparingly and
only as part Of ration for dairy cows.
what wonderful saving it would be
for this country says Director Will
son, 'ff all yearling steers had made
an average gain last winter Of two
pounds per head, ora little more than
the same-aged steer usually makes on
grass.
THE corn plant when cured In It's
own juices seems to be an excellent
feed to produce gain-nothing better
when we consider cost. And when we
consider the hundreds Of acres where
only part of the crop is harvested
the ears-and the stalks and leaves
and husks allowed to waste, we are
not very near the maximum stage of
production

LARGEST RECORD FOR MILK
Cow High In Flesh at caIVing Time
Gives Much Richer Milk for Long
Period Than When Thin.

Missouri Investigators have shown
that a cow high in flesh at calving
time gives very much richer milk for
some time than would be the case
were she thin. This knowledge Is
now made use of by every breeder OF
dairy cattle who desires to make the
largest possible record for milk and
butter fat production.
Another interesting discovery is that
when a COW is underfed that tempo
rarily she gives richer milk rather
than thinner as might be expected.
This is of great Importance in connec-
ton with making tests of cows and q
fixture to understand this effect has
resulted in wrong conclusions from
many experiments conducted with
COWS in the past.

South Shown to Be Cattle Country.
A great aid has been found in NOV
ing pictures in the cities and in Ian
tern slides In the country. State fairs,
at which southern-grown animals. the
equals of northern-grown, were exhib-
tied, have been a great factor In the
educational campaign. Introduction OF
northern pure breeds without loss by
death, and their continuance to thrive
has gone far in destroying the old illu-
sion that the South was not cattle
country. The successful err dfcatiOn
of ticks and the rearing of pure breeds
as far south as lower Mississippi has
effectually banished the notion that
ticks cannot be eradicated in the
southern countries and that the eli
mate was unfit for cattle.
Luxuriant growths Of alfalfa. les
pedeza. cowpeas, soy beans. mellilo-
tus, johnson grass, Bermuda grass and
corn, or peas all best used as forage,
have convinced the skeptic that food
is abundant. The silO and improved
methods of curing hay have demon
strated that forage can be carried over
from season to season and that the
cattle need suffer no effect in their
growth on account Of seasonal
changes. Gradually, one by one. the
false ideas of cattle raising detrimen-
tai to Southern farm husbandry are
being corrected within and adjacent to
the new tick-free territory.

IN BOIL WEEVIL SECTIONS
Early Destruction of Stalks Destroys
Food Of Insects and Their HI
bernatinq Places.

In all cotton sections where the boil
weevil is present farmers should gath
er the cotton crop as rapidly as posi-
BILE in order that the fields may be
cleaned up and the stalks destroyed.
Early destruction of stalks serves two
purposes-it destroys the food of the
fall crop of weevils and it destroys
the alternating places. Where posi-
BILE cut the stalks after the crop is
harvested and pillow them under, max
ing sure to cover all the stalks COM
pletely If the farmer has not suffi-
cient team power to do this the safest
plan is to burn the stalks.

STORAGE FOR SOY BEAN SEED
IL Not Handled Properly They Spoil
Rather EEasily-Avoid Heating
and Moldinq.

Soy bean seed spOils rather easily
If not properly handled. and care
should be used in curing and storing.
After thrashing the beans should be
watched carefully to avoid heating and
molding. When good and dry there
is no such danger. A good plan is to
spread the. beans out on the floor Inn
mediately after thrashing and shovel
them over from time to time until
they are thoroughly dry, then they
may be safely put into sacks or bins.
The store room should be dry and
have free circulation Of air. Soy
bean seed loses vitality very rapidly
and 1t Is not safe to hold seed Tor
planting purposes for more than two
seasons.

COWS NEED SOME MINERAL s
Animals Unable to Utilize Sufficient
Amount From Ordinary Ration to
Support Body.

II has been definitely proved that
cows which produce a heavy flow of
milk are not able to utilize sufficient
mineral matter from the ordinary ra-
ton TO maintain the proper quantity
of minerals in the body; in other
words, more Of these mineral ele-
mepts are given off than the COW can
obts IN from the ration, and the BODY
of the cow Is robbed Of mineral ele-
ments to supply the deficiency.
In addition to en- ordinary ration.
one ounce of common salt per cow
daily is sufficient to maintain the
proper quantity of sodium and chic
rine in a cow producing As pounds OF
milk daily. An ordinary mixed ration
supplies sufficient potassium for every
need OF a high-prOducing cow. The
element calcium or lime appears to be
deficient in all cows except those with
a very low milk production.
The deficiency of minerals in the
ration had no apparent effect on the
amount or composition Of the milk.
This fact proves that the deficiency
Is overcome, as far as. possible, BY
mineral elements taken from the body
of the cow. While the nitrogen COM
pounds from alfalfa hay were slightly
more digestible than those from clover
hay, the nitrogen from clover was
equally as valuable, because it was
more completely utilized than the al-
falfa nitrogen. The quantities Of nj
trogen utilized from clover and alfalfa
were therefore practically the same.

Preventing runts in fall filters Of

mounted. In the gulf portion of Mis-
sissippi 1t appeared from the begin
ming that the swamps. which usually
are several miles wide on both sides
of the many rivers and streams, had
raised an impossible barrier to the
tick work. In these swamps are num-
bers of small ponds or lakes. The
ridgy land between them is covered
with dense cane and pines. with
patches Of heavy timber. Hurricanes
have blown down many trees, which
are now covered with vines so thick
that solid walls are formed. Such
jungles make 1t impossible to traverse
the swampy country by any other
means than upon foot, and also often
make 1t impossible to see more than
few feet away the cattle that have
strayed into the wilderness.
Notwithstanding the hardshfps ac-

inspectors. extricated the cattle from

as possible prevented them from re-
turning until the latter part Of the dip
ping season. Another obstacle in this
section arose from the fact that the
land is only slightly higher than the
Gulf of Mexico and thus became su-
persia turated with water. 1t was nee
essary, therefore, to build many of the
dipping watts several feet above the
earth, increasing the difficulty and ex-

There can be no greater natural bar

claimed by the tick eradicatOrs there,
who believe that tick eradication can
be accomplished in any county where
the people desire it and work systemat-
ically.
The swamp obstacle was met and
likewise surmounted in Alabama. In
Baldwin county of that state more
than 10000 cattle were dipped every
two weeks, it being necessary in many
instances to transport them from the
swampy land. Practically all of the
cattle in this county were ticky when
the dipping began, but the county is
found now to be in fit condition Tor

Another kind of obstacle was met In
west Texas counties. where the work
was retarded by severe dry spell.

Though the character usually as
cribed to swine is one which gives lit
tie or no consideration to cleanliness,
still the pig is an animal which will
respond very quickly, indeed, to clean
surroundings. The building should
be so built that it's construction will
permit of cleaning and thorough dis
injecting. This means smooth walls
and floors, for if crevices exist they
are only harbors for dirt and vermin.
On account of the anatomical con-
struction of the pig, his breathing, eat
ing and drinking is done close to the
ground, and close to a thousand
sources of infection. This makes 1t
all the more necessary that his living
quarters be cleaned as often and as
thoroughly as possible.

CHOSE LOGICAL MAN

Geo. w. P. Hunt, chairman
committee federal and interstate
relations, Arizona Council of
Defense, so selected by Governor
Campbell, was the logical person
to whom the President should
appeal for aid to settle the cop
per mine troubles. In addition
to holding this position of honor
and trust, it is universally known
that former Governor Hunt has
the full confidence of those who
labor. If by peaceful means he
can assist in bringing miners and
operators together on the middle
ground Of fairness, he will have
rendered a great and lasting SER
vice to the country. If he should
fail, he will at least have the satis-
faction of knowing he has done
his duty.
The government idea seems to
secure fair wages and good con-
ditions. Where unions are al
ready recognized, operators are
asked to continue such recogni-
ton. Where the unions have
not been able to secure recogni-
tion before war was declared,
they are asked to refrain from
taking advantage of the country's
needs or of attempting to en-
force recognition at this time.
To secure this compromise there
must be a spirit of give and take
on both sides. To secure such
understanding is the mission for
which former Governor Hunt has
been selected by the President of
the United States. No one
should try to play politics at the
expense of public welfare. The
