FEEDING CATTLE FROM CARS
Beet Pulp Given to Animals While
They Are Still on the Tracks,
to Save Fodder.

The desert cattle ranchers o. Ari-
iona and New Mexico have learned,
says the Popular Science Monthly,
that to raise cattle is one business,
and to fatten them is another. For
this reason, they ship their cattle to
California, where sugar beet pulp is
obtained in abundance. One factory
is located near the fields where the
beets are grown. The cattle are
turned into this field after the beets
are harvested.
! Under the fence is placed trough
which projects outside Of the fence
Just enough to allow the beet pulp to
be thrown into it from the cars. The
cars run on tracks from the factory
to the field and followethe fences
around the corral. More space is
thus obtained for the beef cattle to
feed, and there is but little waste of
fodder. In these war days the cat
tlemen are learning to conserve
stock food, as the cattle themselves
are conserved for our use.

Potato Storage
Pays Dividends,

Community sweet potato storage
houses offer one of the finest
opportunities for farm business
cooperation we know of at this
time. It's a shame that our folks
in the South, having a monopoly Of
this wonderful crop, have not made
half the profits out of it that good
management would have brought
us. 1t seems to be only another
Illustration of DR.. Knapps saying
that Southerners have "a weakness
for letting money slip through their
fingers" 1t is impossible to say
how many millions of dollars have
been lost by the freezing of pota-
toes in the old-fashioned hills or
banks or how many more millions
our farmers might have produced
and sold if better methods of keep
ing the crop had been practiced.
When the writer was in Georgia a
few weeks ago Prof. M. C. Gay of
the state marketing work expressed
the opinion that even during the
recent unprecedent winter, not 5
per cent of the potatoes in storage
houses were injured, and practically
all this 5 per cent loss was due to
ineXperience. We have 10000
bushels here, stored at a cost of Is
cents a bushel," one farmer said,
and whether it pays or not you
can judge by the fact that even the
portion of potatoes in banks that
did last through the freeze are
bringing only 81 a bushel, whereas

SEED CORN MEET.
ing MONDAY.

mAs was mentioned in last issue of the
paper there are only about $50 bushels
of seed corn in the hands of the deal
era of Garrard County. All of the
good seed corn either of the 1916 or
1917 crop which was in the hands of
the farmers has been gold and yet not
of the farmers of the county are
supplied with seed which is fit to plant.
1t is a patriotic duty which every far
mer owes his country to plant only
good, strong seed corn. In Germany
the Kaiser would allow no man to plant
poor seed corn during the war, but in a
great democracy we can only appeal to
a mans patriotism and common sense.

will be made against poor seed corn.
He will speak at the Court House at
1880 p. NJ. An effort will be made at
this meeting to order a car load Of corn
from Western Ky.
In Western Kentucky there is an
abundance of good seed corn and the
farmers of that section are eager to
sell It at price of 81 or IS per bushe.
They will not sell however in small lots
so IL the farmers of this county wish
to buy from them they will have TO 90

local firm have signifed their willing
ness to pay the freight on this corn,
handle it and attend to such little de-
tails for 81 per bushel; which is mighty
reasonable. The seed corn would cost
the Garrard County farmer $500 per
bushel which is about as cheap as he
can hope to get IL.
Mr.. Tom Collins. District Agent, u.
S. Department. has recently made u
trip to Western Ky. to investigate
their seed corn and TO see that II is
properly tested. Mr.. Collins while
there purchased car load of seed corn

All the farmers in the county are urg-
ed to come and make known their
wants as to seed corn 30 that there will
be no shortage at planting time.
Farmers should remember that all
