FEEDING SILAGE TO STOCK
No Better or More Economical Feed
as Roughage for Finished
Stock for Market.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
AS roughage for finished stock
feed than silage for it produces large
daily gains and aids in keeping the
animals in healthy condition so that
they can handle other feeds more eff
fectively. An advantage in feeding
silage to beef cattle that is often over
looked, is that it enables the feeder
to carry his stock for long time so
as to pass over a period of depression
in the market.
Silage also can be- proftably used to
supplement pastures for steers during
a time Of drought, when they are be-
ing finished for market.
For many years the belief was gen.
eral, that cattle which received silage
as a major portion of the roughage
would have to be kept in warm barns
and not exposed to the cold. While
they do need protection from the cold
winds and rains and need dry place
to lie down, it has been clearly demon
strated that warm barns are not only
unnecessary, but that fattened cattle
make both larger and cheaper gains
when fed in the open sheds than when
confined in barns. -StOcker or thin cat
tie receiving silage will, Of. course,
need more protection than animals
which are being fattened.
The theory that silage-fed cattle
shrink very heavily in shipping to mar
ket is erroneous. While the actual
shrinkage during transit is sometimes
greater, the fill taken at market is
usually good, and if good judgment
is used in preparing them for shipping
the net shrinkage is no greater than
for cattle which have been fed on dry
feeds. For SO hours previous to ship
ping nice bright hay and slower should
be substituted for the silage in the
ration.
The general impression that choice
or prime carcasses cannot be made by
the use of succulent feed is equally
untrue, as the silage-fed cattle. usually
make more desirable carcasses than
cattle fed similar ration, except that
silage was replaced by one of the
coarse folders. There is no appreciate

CALVES ON SEPARATED MILK
No Fixed Rules Of Feeding Can Be
GiVen-Size and Vigor of Animal
Must Be Considered.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricu1ture.)
At least four-fifths of all dairy
calves are raised on separated milk,
grain being used to supply the fat re-
moved. Usually it pays we'll to feed
whole milk for about two weeks, at the
end of which time separated milk may
be used in part. The proportion of the
latter may be gradually increased until
at the end of the fourth week it is used
altogether. No fixed rules of feeding,
based upon age, can be given, because
the size and vigor of the calf must al
ways be considered. Calves especially
strong at birth may be put on separ-
ated milk entirely at two weeks of age,
but this should not be attempted with
weak ones. Until the calf is in vigor-
GUS and thrifty condition no attempts
should be made to change to separated
milk. This change should always be
made gradually.
For the first four days, fom eight to
twelve pounds Of milk from the dam
should be fed. After this time the
milk may be from any cow or COWS in
the herd, but preferably not from any
that are nearly dry. Milk containing
not more than 4 per cent of butterfat
is considered the best for this pur-
pose.
At the beginning of the third week
the substitution of either skim or sep
arated milk may commence at the rate
Of one pound a day. The quantity of
the daily ration may be increased two
to four pounds, depending upon the
vigor of the calf. The quantity, how
ever, should be kept we'll below the
capacity of the calf; that is, when it
does not drink eagerly what is offered
the quantity should be cut down.
At the beginning of the fourth week,
from one-half to three-quarters Of the
milk ration should be separated milk.

difference in the percentage of market
able meat that steers will dress out
which have been finished on a silage
ration and a dry ration. The meat
seems equally bright and the fat as
we'll 1ntermixed with the lean. ,
IF silage makes up the bulk Of the
roughage it will be necessary to haul
large amounts of bedding into the
sheds to keep the animals dry, as there
is no waste in silage, or else make
cement floor and cover with bedding
to absorb the urine and prevent the
animals from slipping and to give
them a warm place to lie down. When
the enormous saving in the quality and
amount of the feed is considered, this
disadvantage does not seem so hard to
overcome by the stockman who has the
capital to put up the silo and pave his
feed sheds or feed lots.

SOME SOIL TOBACCO SICK"
Disease-Resisting Varieties Being De-
VeEoped by Specialists OF Depart
ment of Agriculture.

prepared by the United States Depart
rnent of Agricultural
Because some soils in the Connecti-
cut valley have become tobacco sick"
which has resulted in heavy losses to
tobacco growers, particularly where ar
tificial shades are used for growing
wrapper leaf, specialists Of the United
States department of agriculture nave
been at work developing disease-res1st-
ant varieties.
It has also been shown that the use
of fertilizer or acid reaction will ma
terially reduce the injury caused by
the disease. Proper rotation Wher-
ever practicable also appears to be
an effective remedy. In Maryland,
where a similar or identical disease is
giving much trouble, the native varl-
cites which are susceptible have been
crossed with foreign resistant strains,
with a view to obtaining resistant
types adapted to LOCAL requirements
In Wisconsin and in the Burley Sec
ton of Kentucky progress has been
made in the control of tobacco root ROT
through the development of resistant
varieties. The disease causes heaVy
damage in these regions every year
and ordinary Burley tobacco is espe-
cia1ly susceptible. In fields where the
native Burleys have failed completely.
some of the resistant strains have
given surprisingly good results.

REDUCE DECAY IN SHIPPING
Loss of Celery and Lettuce While in
Transit Can Be Avoided by
Careful Handling.

PREPARED by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Careful handling and the preceding
of lettuce and celery before making
shipments will greatly reduce the
losses that are often sustained while
these perishables are in transit. This
information, which specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture gathered in a recent investigation
conducted in Florida, should be of in
terest to all truck growers, but par
ticularly to growers and shippers Of
celery and lettuce in the Gulf states.
Decay in lettuce in transit is due
largely to lettuce drop" the special
lists found, a disease which appears to
enter the head mainly through the low
er leaves Carefully removing the dis
eased leaves before shipment and pre-
cooling the lettuce in cars at the ship
ping point to a temperature of about
10 degrees F., enables the lettuce to

vertical or horizontal, is fastened to

the tank or on a platform at the hind
end Of the wagon. A suction hose exA
tends into the spray tank. A barrel
or 1OO-gallon hogshead may be used,
however, and placed at one end Of
the wagon bed or platform, thus leav-
ing plenty of room for the pump and
operator. When properly used these

zles They furnish an outfit interme-

>ment of Agriculture.)
For spraying a few plants or very
small trees hand atomizers may be
used. These are made of brass, cop
per, heavy tin, or other material, and
usually have a capacity of one quart.
Bucket Pumps.
Bucket pumps are fairly convenient
and satisfactory for spraying small
gardens and shrubs or small trees.
They should be of brass or other non
corrosive metal and preferably should
be equipped with an agitatOr. In some
pumps agitation is provided by means
of a small jet of the liquid which
Squirts from the bottom of the pump
into the liquid as the pump is oper-
ated For convenience in spraying,
these pumps may be clamped to the
bucket, or used free in tub or other
vessel containing the spray material.
They should be supplied with spray
rod, and sufficient hose to spray con-
veniently the plants TO be treated.
Knapsack Pumps.
A knapsack pump may be used for
small spraying operations. These
pumps have a capacity Of about four
gallons and are provided with an air
chamber to insure pressure and
steady spray. They are carried on the
back Of the operator and pumped by
one hand, while the other is used to
hold the spray rod.
Small Compressed-Air Pumps.
Compressed air pumps are FREQUENT
1y used in small fruit gardens, and are
preferred to the bucket or knapsack
pumps by those who do not wish to
pump while applying the spray. These
pumps are usually made of brass Or
galvanized sheet steel and have a ca
pacity of three to four gallons. They
are carried by means Of a shoulder
strap. In the better types, agitation
is provided, usually by the entrance
of the air at the bottom of the tank.
Barrel Pumps.
The barrel hand-pump outfit has
capacity Of about SO gallons, and has
come into extensive use for the home
orchard or fruit garden. With a good
barrel pump considerable spraying may
be done in satisfactory manner. The
working parts of the pump should be
of bronze, brass, or other nOncOrrOslve
material, and the valves and plung-
ers should be readily accessible, and
easily repaired. The pump should be
provided with an efficient agitator,
either of. the paddle or rotary type. To
insure q good pressure and uniform
discharge of the spray material the
pump should be provided with an ade-'
quate air chamber to which press
ure gauge may be attached If desired.
The pump may be mounted either on
the head or side of the barrel, and the
whole outfit placed on skids or on a
wagon. On billy land it is preferable
to have the barrel in horizontal po-
sition.

condition and to hold up much better
on the market than lettuce handled in
the usual way.
Preceded celery, with initial icing
only, the tests showed, arrived on the
market in a uniformly fresh condition,
with the leaves on the top tier near
ly as green as those on the bottom.
Celery that was not preceded shipped
under standard or full refrigeration
showed very yellow leaves on the top
tier, which greatly discounted the
value of the entire shipment. The
cost of preceding and of the first
icing of a car of celery was less than
the usual charge for full refrigeration.
Celery often is injured in transit, the
specialists say, because with tight
loads it is impossible to secure suf1
cient free air, circulation and rapid
cooling. Smaller crates properly
spaced and braced with provision Of
floor racks to facilitate air circulation
would help to insure more uniform
and rapid cooling.

During the week the change should be
continued until by the end of the week
onlv separated milk is fed. With espe'
cially vigorous calves the change to
separated milk may be made about
week earlier.
After this time separated milk may
be fed entirely unless the calf is very
delicate. The quantity fed can be
gradually increased until IL to ~
pounds a day are given. It is usually
not economical to feed more than this
unless milk is very plentiful.
The time that milk should be discon'
tinued depends upon it's cost in rela"
tiOn to the value of the calf, it's breed,
size. vigor, etc. The season in which
it reaches the age of six months ana
the other feeds available at that time
must also be taken into consideration.
Six months is probably a good average
age at which to wean calves from milk.
When the best of hay, silage, and a
good variety of grains are available:
the calf may, be weaned earlier than
when such feeds are lacking. The sea-
son of good, succulent pasturage pre-
sents the best possible condition Tor
weaving a calf; and when this exists
the calf can be weaned earlier than
when it is lacking.
When the calf is two months old,
and if it is carefully watched, sour
milk. whether whole, skim, or butter
milk NAV be fed without harmful re-
Suits. provided the change from sweet
milk is made gradually. It is not Well
however, to alternate between sweet
and sour.
