COTTONsEED CAKE BETTER
BEEF PRODUCER THAN BARLEY

In order to determine whether cot
tonseed cake or barley is best to add to
beef producing ration of corn sill ;ge,
sugar beet molasses, and alfalfa, the
experiment station placed two lots of
ten steers each on feed March 6, 1918,
and fed 126 days. says T. E. Leiper
of the Colorado Agricultural college.
"Iot No. l was fed as follows:
1896 lbs. of corn silage, 2.99 lbs. cot
tonseed cake, 3.SS lbs. sugar beet mo-
lasses, ana 9.35 lbs. of alfalfa at COS.
OF $13.93 per hundred pounds gain.
The average initial weight was 1892
pounds and cost $90.2l per head. They
gained 1.93l pounds per head per day,
making final weight of l0s2.6 pounds.
$33.9l, making total cost of steer
and feed of $12i.l2. They brought
$l6.25 or $l65.39 per head and returned
a margin of $4l.27 over the cost of feed
and initial cost of steer. They shrank
in transit of 13 hours on cars SO per
cent AMI dressed 595 per cent.
"Lot No. was fed 21.O2 pounds
corn Silage, 3.20 pounds llolasses, 577
POUNDS barley and S.5l pounds of al
falfa at a cost of $l5.76 per hundred
pounds gain. The average initial
weight was s27.S pounds and cost $500
per head. A gain Of 1.S5 pounds per
head per day was made, making final
weight of 1O60.9 pounds. The average
cost of feed per head was 1854, max
ing total cost of steer and feed of
$i25.75. These were sold for $1,000
per kuncIed or $l6l.O7 per head and
returned a margin of 1854 over the
cost of feed and initial cost of steer.
They shrank in transit 81 per cent and
dressed 59.S per cent.
Tive pounds of barley was required
to give the same gain as one pound Of
cake. The addition of cottonseed cake
increased the rate of gain, cheapened
the cost per 100 pounds gain by $l.s3

unusual feat by British airplane In
the fighting zone:
"One Of our aviators was forced by
engine trouble to land ten miles inside
the Turkish line. His engine was mis-
firing, but produced sufficient power
for taking and short hops, but not
tor flights. Presumably the valves Of
two or three cylinders had broken or
stuck.
"But the pilot did not give up hope,
and succeeded In taking the whole
way to the British lines over the level
sand. On the way he crossed Turk
ish encampment. and his rnder-car-
riage brought away clothes line and
number of Turkish shirts. The pilot
was attacked by several detachments
armed with rifles and machine guns,
but they invariably fed when he
charged on them with his gun. Two or
three German airplanes dived and
