London, Oct. 1s.-The Daily Mail
condemns what it calls the failure Of
the British feet to prevent the Ger

WE MUST USE CHEAPER FEEDS

Tt is time to quit shoveling grain indis criminately into live stock. Good live stock farming demands it and the need of more food requires it. Feeding grain to meat animals with a lavish hand IS responsible for one of the greatest feed losses on the farms of this country. Hay, fodder. sIage and pasture are the cheap est feeds and will carry animals along with a minimum of grain. Keep the frames of the young animals developing on these cheap feeds Withhold the 1uii grain ration until the finishing period arrives: Breeding cattle may be win cred on the cheaper feeds
 This advice of animal husbandry spe- cialists of the United States department of agriculture to stock feeders is not emergency advice only; it is the sound logic of meat production, which Amer ican farmers must learn if they are 10 compete successfully with European meat producers in the coming genera tions These are good days to learn the lesson of feed conservation. In Farm CTS Bulletin S73, "The Utilization of Farm Wastes in Feeding Live stock specialists tell how to use these cheaper feeds in rations for cattle, sheep ana horses.
 A tremendous waste of feeding stuffs occurs annually on American farms, according to the figures presented In this publication. In 1914 about l200o0,0Vo tons of straw were produced in the United States. Of this amount 55 per cent was fed to live stock, 15 per cent was burned, per cent sold and 22 per cent plowed under or otherwise dis posed of Corn stover produced ir the United States Is estimated at 245e5S,ooo tons. of which S11h per cent is fed to cattle and other stock. No figures were obtained to show the percentage that is wasted in the feeding, but at least 50 per cent of the total amount produced represents actual waste.
 This waste of corn stover can be checked, it is said, through use of better methods of feeding fodder and stover, and it can be almost entirely stopped through the use of silos. Stray and stover are best utilized for feed when accompanied by concentrates. such as cotton seed meal. If the large amounts of cotton seed meal ordinarily used for fertilizer in the south were, instead, fed to live stock and the manure used for fertilizer, the value of the meal would be increased from 50 to 85 per cent.
 Practical experience as well as experi- mental work has taught that straw and

Potatoes Save Wheat

Americans, if they would think of the humble potato as 'breadstuff rather than merely as ''vegetable,'' would find that they could spare much bread from their diet without Inconvenience, the di- etetic specialists of the United States department of agriculture point out. The potato-Irish or sweet-differs from all most all other common vegetables in that 1t supplies important amounts of starch and starch is the chief food element we get from bread. Green vegetables. with which potatoes often are c1assed, supply little or no starch and energy, and are valuable in the diet principally for the mineral substances and acids they sup ply and for giving bulk to the diet. Po- tatoes, of course, supply valuable min eral substances useful in the building up, repair. and regulation of the body, but they have won their great place in the diet of large part of the world because they supply starch which other wise would have to be obtained from cereals.
 The more potatoes you eat the less bread you need at the same meal Po- tatoes, of course, contain larger per centage of water than does bread, so that WelgnI TOT WclSHl tHSy aiS iot equivalent to bread as a source of starch and energy As a general proposition however, one medium sized potato (six ounces) would supply about as much starch as two medium-sized slices of bread (about two ounces). Five parts of potato are equal to one part of cereal in a mixed diet. Therefore, those who make potatoes an important dish safely can cut down the amount of light or hot bread, wheat mushes, or macaroni they eat at that meal, and yet supply their bodies with this important food starch. Wherever potatoes are locally plentiful or relatively cheap, especially in the case of the early or summer crop which does not store well, housewives are urged to use them plentifully at all meals as a substitute for wheat.
 The more potatoes you eat the less bread you need at the same meal.
