COMBINATION OF CORN
PLANT AND ALFALFA
Largest and Most Profitable
Gains Made on Cattle Tested
at Nebraska Station.

A combination of alfalfa hay and
corn plant gave the largest and most
profitable gains on cattle tested at
the University of Nebraska. Corn was
fed both in the form Of silage and sto-
yer, and Of these, silage was superior.
The cattle were fed in groups Of
eight steer calves, each for 20 weeks.
Each animal Of one group received
TX pounds Of corn, four pounds al
falfa and 3h pounds shredded corn
slower daily. The other group were
fed six pounds corn, 3k pounds alfalfa
and Is pounds silage.
The silage-fed calves averaged 1.9
pounds gain daily per head, or about
One-third Of a pound more than the
stOver-fed steers. They required only
3.4 pounds grain per 100 pounds Of
gain made instead Of five pounds, as
in the case Of the stover-fed animals.
Valuing corr at As cents a bushel,
alfalfa at So a ton, shredded slower
and silage at So a ton each, the silage
ration made 100 pounds gain at a cost
Of $4.66, the profit per steer during the
20 weeks being $3.50. With the sto-
yer ration, 100 pounds gain cost $5.4S,
the profit being only $1.31 per steer.

DESTROY WEEDS WITHOUT COST TO FARMER

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Sheep will pay for their keep as
weed ~destroyers alone, says the United
States department of agriculture,
which just u the result of a
study lately completed In New Eng
land,
One Of the fields of the Morgan
Horse farm In Vermont, maintained
by the bureau of animal industry of
the department, largely for the pur-
pose Of keeping up a supply of good
horses for the army, was infested with
the weed known as %paintbrush, or dew
lis paintbrush. This weed has recent
ly come into northern Vermont, and 1t
is said that some farms have been ru-
ined by it. It is now common through
out the Northeast. It throws up a
tall, slender stalk, but the damage Is
done by the leaves, which are spread
from the crown and form a dense mat
on the surface Of the ground, eventu-
ally killing out oil other vegetation.
Devour Paintbrush.
On the Morgan horse farm an area
of about two acres was fenced off. This
area had some bad patches of paint
brush. The grass and weeds were,

Enclosure the first week in July. In
two weeks time the sheep had eaten
almost every leaf Of paintbrush in
sight. They seemed to prefer the paint.
brush leaves to anything else; at any
rate, they would search out isolated
plants in the grass, and the patches
which were covered with paintbrush
are now almost bare. The cleanest
field in the Morgan horse farm Is the
n which has been used as a sheep
pasture for several years, and which,
when the farm was bought, was as
badly infested with weeds as any.
Pay for Their Keep.
This experience indicates that even
If wool and meat only meet expenses,
a flock of sheep can be kept for the
labor saved in keeping the farm clear
Of weeds. 1t is doubtful, says the de-
partment, whether any other farm ami
NAL has Sc wide a field Of usefulness
as the sheep when intelligently
handled. Sheep produce meat ut a
less cost Of grain than any other ami
NAL. They pay their way with the
wool they yield and they exterminate
hoxious weeds practically without cost.

Define CHRISTIAN EFFlCIENc
II 10 In Thinking and Doing az Christ
Would Have Us Think
and Do.

Sometimes a word becomes so over
worked that the idea back of the word
suffers because Of the place that the
word comes to hold as one to be
rather avoided. Efficiency. as a word,
has been so freely used that 1t is not
strange that n should seek to avoid
1t in his vocabulary II he can think of
anything else in its place. But the
chief trouble Is in losing track Of the
idea, while we are trying to find q
substitute for the word. Christian ef-
fency is not cold-blooded calculating
mechanism. 1t is simply thinking and
doing as Christ would have us think
and do. That idea no word ought ever
to obscure. The most efficient Chris
tan Is one through whom Christ can
work with the least friction and the
least change of Christ's plans. II we
like slipshod ways, 1t may bring us
to our senses to realize that they are

BRIGHT FUTURE FOR
IFIRST.CLASS STOCK
Majority of All Breeders Now Use
Purebred Sires, Says Kan
sas Authority.

A bright future for purebred live
stock is predicted by Edward N
Wentworth, professor Of ANNA,
breeding in the Kansas State Agricul
tural college.
'The S Of grade sires is gradually
decreasing" said Professor Went
worth. "Seventy per cent of the horse
breeders, 65 per cent of the sheep
breeders, 60 per cent of the cattle
breeders, and so per CEN of the swine
breeders use purebred sires.
"From 8 to 10 per cen of the hogs
are purebred, approximately 2h per
cent each of beef and dairy cattle, 9
per cent of draft horses, 3 per cent of
light horses, and from IN to 2 per cent
Of sheep.
"These proportions may be those
actually required to furnish the bulk
Of breeders with purebred sires, al
though /: is probable that there should
be from 6 to 8 per cent of purebreds
In order to supply one purebred for
every 80 grade females, to maintain
purebred herds, and to permit a rigid
selection of breeding animals.
"The present proportion of pure
breds seems to be sufficient in order to
supply the present users of %purebreds,
but not SO rigid a selection can be
practiced as might be desired. The
fact that probably all breeders will
ultimately use purebred sires will
allow a doubling in the percentage Of
purebred cattle, an increase Of two
thirds in the number of hogs, slightly
more than one-half in sheep, and one
third in the number of horses, without
increasing the severity Of selection.
"Such an expansion will afford a
prosperous future for %purebred live
stock even though the standards Of
selection are not raised. Since, how
ever, standards Of selection are being
continually raised, an ever higher per-
centage Of purebreds may be e1-
npctpd."

EARLY FALL FLOWING
BEST IN NORTHWEST
Result in Productive Soils Is Ac-
emulation of Plant Food
for Next Season.

(By A. c. Army. University Farm, st.
Paul, MIMI
The chief reason for blowing is to
put the soil in shape to produce good
crops. For the best results the plOw-
ing must be done at the right time.
Grain crops in particular need gener-
Gus supplies Of readily available plant
food early in the season. Therefore,
in the Northwest early fall blowing
for grain crops is to be preferred.
This allows the needed changes that
take place in loosened soil to get
started early and to continue until the
ground Is frozen. The result In pro-
ductive soils is the accumulation
throughout the cool fall months Of
plant food and this is easily taken up
by the grain plants the following
spring.
For corn, black loan soils should
be plowed In the fall. On the heavier
clay soils spring blowing for corn is
often preferable.
Good blowing means more than
making the field appear black. 1t
means more than making straight fur
rows. However, a good plowman
usually makes straight burrows. In
a well-plowed field the soil is stirred
