corn Goes not imply that it should never
be used, for there are farms where 1t is
necessary to feed a moderate amount
OF grain. This is particularly true OF
cattlemen who are conducting a pure
bred business and who advertise their
stock by exhibiting at the various live
stock shows. The results of this study
simply indicate that care should be
taken that no unnecessary quantities
of corn are fed.
There are 154 farms tnot quite one
third of those studied) on which corn
was fed to the breeding herd for at
least part of the winter. The average
winter feed bill for these farms was
$17.10 per head. as against $14.SO for
the cows receiving no grain. There
were So of these farms where less
than 10 per cent of the ration was
composed of grain and where the cows
received an average of bushels Of
corn and 10 pounds of cottonseed
meal per head during the winter. AS
AZ per cent of this winter ration con-
sisted of cheap roughage and as the
amount of feed used was not excessive,
the cows were carried through the
winter at an average cost of
$14.60, or 8 cents day. In the herds
where grain constituted more than
10 per cent of the ration, the cows re-
teiyed an average of from to IS
bushels of corn, much of which was
unnecessary. The average cost Of feed
for wintering these cows ranged from
S17.50 to more than $50 head.

MOST ECONOMICAL OF FEEDS
Better Use Of Cheap Rouahage or
Farm By-Products Should Be
Practice of Stockmen.

F>rom the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
Stockmen should make better use of
cheap roughage or farm by-products,
such as cornstalks or straw in winter
ing beef cows, is the opinion of spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture after making a
survey of nearly 500 stock farms in
the corn belt. The records which they
obtained show that there is no fixed
rule that should govern the quality or
the kind of feeds used except that the
ration should be adequate and eco
nomical.
Whether the coarse feeds of the ra-
ton shall be composed mostly of hay,
fodder, silage, or grain. will depend or
dinarily on local and seasonal condi-
items.
In years when there is serious
shortage of corn, farmers will find it
necessary greatly to reduce the guam
tity of the corn that ordinarily is fed
ns grain or fodder or silage. That this
can be done under many circumstances
is evident from a study of the rec
, Ords. They show that a ration which
does not contain corn fodder either as
grain or in fodder or silage can be fed
without any detriment whatever to the
COWS or their offspring. There were
149 of the farms studied feeding such
rations. the majority of them in Kan
sas and Nebraska, and they produced
as good calves as the farms feeding
corn. The winter feed bill on these
farms was S13.10 per COW, as against
an average of S16.60 for those using
grain. fodder, or silage, showing a saw
ing of $3.50 per head due to elimina-
ton of corn.
The use of such grainless ration,
which on these farms consisted solely
of hay and cheap roughage. is, of
course, not always possible or practi-
cable. If this type of ration is to be
economical, there must be an abund-
ance of cheap hay to combine with the
rough feeds; or, if the bulk of the ra-
ton consists of cheap roughage, which,
unless there is some winter pasture, is
largely composed of carbohydrates,
there should be a sufficient amount of
leguminous hay, such as alfalfa or
clover. to supply the protein needs of
the animal. In localities where there
is shortage of hay but where large
quantities Of cheap roughage, such as
corn slower, straw, or damaged hay,
is available. this cheap roughage often
can be made to serve as the greater
part of the ration by supplementing it
with small amount of some concen-
trate high in protein, such as cotton
seed meal. The farmers in that por-
ton of the corn belt lying west Of
the Missouri river, where alfalfa is
grown abundantly. nearly always can
Plan an adequate ration without corn.

PRISONER:
HIS LIFE is SAVED

American Bombing Base.-Dr. Albert
NJ. Stevens of New York. medical Off
Ger at this base, owes his life to the
fact that he was taken prisoner by the
Germans, while DR.. Harry j. Dooley of
Chicago, successor to Doctor Stevens,
assistant surgeon, owes his liberty to
the fact that Doctor Stevens is a pris-
oner.
1t is one of those weird romances
of the sea and war.
Word was flashed to the bombing
base one afternoon that seaplane
was down on the surface of the water
about thirty miles off the coast. A
fast motor boat. ready for such emer-
gencies, was sent out. A surgeon al
ways accompanies such expeditions.
Doctor Dooley in ordinary circumstan-
ces would have gone. But Doctor Stew
ems was just retiring from the post,
and he thought the trip might do him
good
Il think I'll CO." he said to Doctor
Dooley. ut will be my last trip and
the journey will be something of a re-
lief"
He jumped into the boat and was
off. There were six others aboard.
They reached the stranded seaplane in
little under two hours. The flyers
men had got her into condition again
and were just ready to start off. They
left the motor boat and landed back at
the base in good time.
sheIled by Germans.
1t was dark. The surgeon, seeing
what he thought were lights of a town
near the base, headed the motor boat
in what he supposed the correct direc-
ton. They surged through the light
seas for an hour or more. They ap-
preached close to the supposed home
lights, when suddenly the scream of
a shell was heard coming straight at
them. 1t exploded directly in the back
of the boat A second shell dropped
about two hundred yards in front.
1.-THE Germans are Smelling u.s." call
ed one of the men.
"Where are we?" asked the skipper.
Hty were btiAildu

had been far off. They had been steer

ground.

the surgeon.
The men went overheard. Half
minute later shell struck in the CEN
ter of the boat. II blew great hole
in her and sank her.
A strong current was running up
the shore. Doctor Stevens and one 9TH
er man, being strong swimmers, head
ed for the nearest point of land. They
reached the beach. They were drag
ging themselves through the surf and
had just reached the shallow water
when squad of German soldiers
marched down the sands with drawn
bayonets and commanded:

territory"
Doctor Stevens and his companion

Meanwhile the other five men were
trying to make land. Two of them
