FOR MARKET STEERS
Compare Favorably With Cotton
seed Meal for Fattening.
Results Given Of Experiments Con-
Quoted at Government Farm
More Profitable to Feed Soaked
Beans Than to Grind Them.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Corn silage and velvet beans are
said to form satisfactory ration for
fattening steers for market. This Is
the result Of feeding experiments just
completed at the United States depart
ment Of agriculture farm at Beltsville,
Md.
Other points brought out by the tests
indicate: that velvet beans compare
fayorabIy with cottonseed meal, pro-
ducing profitable gains when the beans
are the sole concentrate of the ration;
that it is more profitable to feed
soaked beans than it is to grind them !;
and that more beans will be eaten If
soaked before they are fed than if they
are fed dry.
The objects of the experiment were
to compare velvet beans in three forms
whole, ground. and soaked with cot
tonseed meal as supplements to corn
sflage and dry roughages. and to de-
termine the most economical forms in
which velvet beans might be fed in fat
tenlng cattle for market. incidentally
1t was hoped that the tests would show
possibilities OF grain conservation in
the production Of beef as a wartime
measure.
The cattle used in the tests were
40 good tw0-year-old steers in which
sh0rt-h0rn blood predominated. They
were bought last February in the East
St Louis marie where they were Sc
lected out of shipments from Illinois
and Missouri, and were in fair stocker
condition when placed on the expert
mental feeding rations. They were
divided into four lots of ten steers
each, the lots selected SO that they
would be as nearly equal as possible
In weight. quality and condition. They
were fed for LIP days.
The average daily ration consumed
by lot was: 4.30 pounds Of cotton
seed meal, 33.72 pounds of corn silage.
and 4.S0 pounds of dry roughage. This
lot made an average daily gain Of 2.3O
pounds. at cost OF about 10 cents
pound. or $l.N hundred

Every day the great principles for
which we are fighting take fresh hold
upon our thought and purpose and
make 1t clearer what the end must be
and what we must do to achieve 1t.
We now know more certainly than
We ever knew before why free men
brought the great nation and govern

agnificance. We should make it day
Of ardent rededication to the ideals
upon which our government is founded
and by which our present heroic tasks
are inspired.
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,

America, do appoint Saturday. the 18th
DAY Of October. 1913, as Liberty day.
On that day request the citizens Of
every community Of the United States,
city, town and countryside, to cele-
brate the discovery of our country in
order to stimulate a generous response

nedghborhood under the general direc-
taon Of the secretary Of the treasury
ana the Immediate direction of the
Liberty Loan committee, in co-opera

the Fourth Liberty Loan express the
measure of their devotion to the ideals
which have guided the country from
its discovery until now, and Of their
determined purpose to defend them
and guarantee their triumph.
For the purpose Of participating in

If the best results are to be attained
in potato production. greater care must
be given to the development of high
grade seed potatoes than is the present
practice. Wherever the climatic and
soil conditions are such as to make it
possible to produce a good quality of
seed potatoes. each grower should have
his own seed plat. In the selection of
seed potatoes 1t should be borne In
mind that the hill rather than the indi-
vidual tuber is the unit. The method
which is most certain to lead to Inn
pr0vement is that Of hill selection.
There are various ways Of procedure
In the practice Of hill selection, but
the one most likely to give the best re-
suits is that OF marking the best plants
In the field or the seed plat before the
foliage begins to ripen and digging
them by hand Just before harvesting
the main crop.
Examine Each Plant.
The product Of each individual plant
should be examined separately, and
only those that show uniformity In
Size and shape and that have produced
maximum number of merchantable
tubers should be selected. Each select
ed hill should be given a number,
sacked separately, and a careful rec
ord made. The following season the
tubers of each selection should be
planted separately in order that their
behavior may be noted throughout the
growing season. It will be found that
many of them possess no superiority
over the general run of field stock, but
2 few will be decidedly good. A large
number of these progeny can be
marked for discard before they are
harvested. At harvesting time the
progeny of each promising selection

REVEALS FOES DIRE STRAITS

Morale of Enemy.

poster recently issued by the inn
perial German government in an effort
to belittle the participation of America
in the war and thus strengthen the
morale Of her people form the text of
one Of the most striking pieces of litera-
ture that the bureau of publicity Of
the war loan organization has prepared
for use in the Forthcoming Fourth Lib
erty loan.
The center of the poster is devoted
70 a drawing showing New York city
pn one side of the Atlantic and ire
aendous explosion on the other side,
probably somewhere In France, Two
sinking vessels are shown in the lane
pf travel between New York and
France, while in the ofting are two
U-boats securely afioat. Opportunity
for the German U-boats!'' is the catch
line for this section Of the poster.
The lane Of travel In which the boats
are sinking bears this inscription:
America Europe. Distance 200 times
greater than from England to France
mainland. In corner of this Sec
ton Of the poster are shown the names
pf Serbia, Montenegro, Italy. Rou-
mania, Russia and Belgium. They are
lined up in the order named under an
other exploding figure representative
Of the European war, and the names
Of all the countries except Italy are
crossed out, indicating that they have
been eliminated from the struggle by
the Huns.
The title Of the poster is "Can
Americas Entry Make decision of the
War;" Integral sections Of it attempt
TO convince the reader that Americas
army cannot take the place of Rus
sia's withdrawn forces; that the Unit
ed States cannot build enough ships
to have any effect on the result of the
war. and that the U-boats will destroy
virtually all the ships that America
can build when those ships at
tempt to cross the ocean.
Two millions Of the booklets have
been printed and will be distributed
In various parts Of the country, par
ticularly in theaters where Liberty
Loan speakers take the book as their
text.
Every effort Is made in the wording
and the illustrations Of the poster to
minimize and ridicule the efforts of the
United States in the war A striking
example Of this is found in the figure
Of Uncle Sam, who is pictured as a
cadaverous individual who wears an
American flag with nine stars and FIVE
stripes around his plug hat and smokes
a long-stemmed cob pipe. He also ap-
pears to be wearing spats or dancing
pumps.
The enormous figure of Russian
soldier is the first object on the poster
to strike the eye. He stands with
hands In his overcoat pockets. indica-
tive Of the fact that he is through
fighting. Beside him stands Uncle Sam
holding small figure, designed to
represent the United States army, In

should again be studied carefully and
only those which seem to possess SUI
periOr merits retained. If it is possible
to reduce these to one or two, 1t is de-
sirable to do so. Further progress
along this line consists in increasing
the progeny of the selection or selec-
lions as rapidly as possible. At the
end Of the third season sufficient
quantity should be available to plant
the field crop. It is desirable to main.
tain a seed plat each year and to con.
tinue the process Of hill selection and
the development Of pure strains. In
order to practice potato selection In
telligently 1t is necessary to have a
true conception of the type Of the
variety or varieties being used.
Immature Seed.
Relatively few growers In the United
States really maintain seed plat,
and still fewer practice planting the
seed plat at considerably later date
than the main crop in order to secure
small to medium-sized immature tu-
bers, as is the custom with many Eng
lish and Scotch seedsmen. In planting
the seed plat designed for the pro-
duction Of seed for the main crop the
following season, 1t is desirable to-
plant two or three-ounce whole tubers.
The use Of whole tubers insures per-
feet stand and minimum percentage
of diseased plants. At the same time,
as result of late planting and the
heavy set produced by whole seed. the
tubers do not attain large size and
are thus ideal for seed purposes. The
date of planting the seed plat should
be governed by the locality in which
the potatoes are to be grown. In gem
eral, it might be said that the seed
plat should be planted as late as it is
possible to insure a good tuber devel-
opment before the plants are killed by
the frost in the autumn.
