TO PINTO BEAN GROWERS.

Many growers of Pinto beans are
under the impression that the Food
Administration will handle the 1918
crop of "Pintos" as they did the 1917
crop. This impression is wrong.
The U. S. Food Administration will
not handle the 1918 crop of Pintos. No
contracts for any part of this years
crop have been made. No price has
been guaranteed
1t is up to the growers and shippers
of Pinto beans to market the 1918 crop.
This will be big task, and requires
the best cooperation of all interested
in the Pinto bean industry.
The Pinot bean received great
boost last season. 1t was introduced
into many new markets throughout
the north and east. The Pinto bean
has proven satisfactory wherever it
has been tried. Consumers who used
the Pinto bean for the first time were
pleased. Much praise has been given
the fine eating qualities of the pinto"

BENEFITS OF SILAGE FEEDING

Silage is much relished by stock,
especially by cattle and sheep. 1t is
palatable, cheap and succulent, thins
and cools the blood, improves the han
dlling qualities of skin and hair, tones
up the digestive system, and improves
the health generally. Breeding fe-
males are put in good condition for
producing healthy offspring, and af-
ter parturition are better able to give
plenty of milk than when on a totally
dry ration. To a large extent is a
preventative to digestive troubles,
and yith dairy COWS, it lessons consid-
erably the chances of milk fever and
garget. Silage fed steers bring from
20 to so cents per hundred more than
steers fed dry roughage, owing to the
better finish and quality.
Silage while first class feed should
be considered only as roughage con-
tanning relatively small amount of
dry matter. The real value of silage
lies in the low cost at which it can be
produced rather than in any high
feeding value per ton. Many think
when slage has considerable grain in
it that no concentrate feeds are neces-
sary when silage is fed. This is a
mistake, as stock are better able to
make use of grain feed when getting
silage than when fed dry roughage.
While silage may be fed without any
roughage in addition, it is usually
better for winter feeding to let stock
have some dry fodder. such as hay
straw or fodder corn in addition to sill.
