Discusses Feed and Feeding
Editor Highland Recorder:

The growing of legumes should
be the aim of every Highland farm
err and stockman. From expert
ments made, not only here, but
elsewhere, and from our own OBJ
servations, young stock does not
make but very little if any growth
during the feeding season. This is
due not altogether on account OF
being on dry feed and going thru
the winter, but to a lack of pro
tein in the feeds, both grain and
hay.
Good clover hay, alfalfa, sweet
clover, vetch and Canada field peas
furnish very much more protein
than timothy, red top, orchard
grass, tall oat grass, and bluegrass
hay. These latter varieties OF hay
are low in protein and can be used
more proftably i'll feeding to ma
ture or almost mature stock. The
same is true of corn and oats. A
high proportion OF legume hay
grown with some of the latter
grasses make fine quality of hay.
One of the best and heaviest hay
cro,s we have made here so far
was mixture of medium red clover,
Alsike clever and timothy. Our
sixteen claves have shown q Won
derful improvement since feeding
the above mixture with some alfalfa
hay regularly for past three weeks
without ensilage. The calves get
mixture of bran, oats and corn,
This mixture does not contain
enough protein to feed with ensll'
age or hay not containing any
clover.
The calves we wintered 1914 and
1915 got feeds low in protein, as
ensilage, timothy and other now
Ieguminous hays. They kept in
good flesh and were as plump in
the spring of 1915 as they we're in
the fall of 1914, "they held their
own" But that did not pay The
winter of 1915 and 1916, we made
marked improvement in winter
ing our calves. They were fed
leeds higher in protein and made
good growth all through the feed
season. This winter they are max
ing more gains than last winter
We are looking forward to the time
when we can winter our calves on
variety of legumes without grain
and gain six months in the growth
of our CALVES over those fed The
| winter of 19l4-15. The same will
hold good for yearlings.
Canada field peas and oats grown
together, threshed out. and ground
| make a fine grain ration for calves
and sheep as the peas are almost
equal to cotton-seed meal. We
have a quantity of oats and peas
and will determine the proportion
of each, and feed some ground
to two or more calves and give you
comparative results later. Mllch
COWS also require feeds high in pro-
TEN.
Some time later we will tell you
something concerning our observa-
tons and experiments with the
greatest sub-soiling plant grown
and the sofa bean. -,
None of US are perfect or ever will
be as farmers and stockmen. but
our aim is improvement each wear.
[ am,
Yours for more legumes,

The Most Wonderful
Cooper Mine in the World

In the March American Magazine
is an account of what is perhaps
the most wonderful copper mine in
the world because it appeared so
poor that it was abandoned by
experts, while to-day its stock has
scared above the most sangulne
hopes. This mine is at Bingham,
Utah. 1t is mountain of low
grade porphyry and was developed
BY Daniel c. Jackling who has
doubled the worlds copper output.
BE abandoned the old system
mining by tunnels and stops,
bought steam shovels and set them
to work stripping the mountain
until they reached the ore. At
times his steam shovels moved as
much yardage as Goethals did at
Panama. He built a gigantic
mill with capacity CT six thous-
and tons of ore a day. He built a
power plant with capacity OF
twsrre thousand horse power, Lifted
the output to three millloni pounds
of copper a month, and reduced
the costs to eight cents a pound.
And still his plans expanded
He increased the milling capacity
to twenty thousand tons day.
When the railroad could not
guarantee cars and locomotives
enough to handle the traffic, he
built a railroad that cost, in some
stretches, more than three hun
dred thousand dollars q mile
built it for the sole purpose of in
suring a continuous, adequate sup
ply of ore for the mill. The stock
of his mine rose from three, four
and FIVE dollars share to twenty,
forty, seventy, a hundred dollars a
share, scared far above the highest
corresponding quotation even OF
the famous Calumet & Hecla. As
l write this: it stands at 1917.
And the time the copper content
of the ore he mined was decreasing
steady. even while the output and
the profits grew"
