FEED CROPS TO LIVE STOCK
Feeding Steers on Surplus Corn
and Roughage.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
That the southern farmer who raises
can market them at a handsome price
through steers of good quality, when
properly purchased, and can retain
fertiliZing elements of the feeds on
his farm, is clearly shown in recent
Investigations by the United States
department of agriculture.
Three lots of native steers, grade
animals two to three years old, of
medium good quality, and averaging
about S25 pounds at the beginning of
five months on full feed. The ami
mails in lot / received a daily allow
ance of 39.1 pounds of corn silage, 81
pounds of cottonseed meal, 40 pounds
of oat straw; those of lot 2, 37.4
pounds of corn silage, 7.6 pounds of
ear corn, pounds of cottonseed meal,
and % pounds of oat straw; and the
steers of lot 5, 3S.5 pounds of corn
silage, 6 pounds shelled corn, 8 pounds
cottonseed meal, and 3.5 pounds of
Oat straw.
At marketing time these groups of
animals averaged, respectively, 1,044,
l,059, and 1,066 pounds an animal, the
beeves of lot 1'haying accomplished
daily gain of 1.56 pounds, those of lot
., 166 pounds, and the animals of
group 3, 1t pounds during the feed
ing period.
When the pork made is credited to
the steers of lots 2 and 3, they paid
for corn at 20 cents bushel. and
then made over $14 head profit, or
almost as much income as resulted
from the cOttonseed meal-fed steers.
Without hogs following the steers the
feeding of corn would have been con-
siderably less profitable than feeding
cottonseed meal alone. 1t cost 1888
to make 100 pounds of gain in the
case of lot 1, $10.S2 for lot 2. and $10.75
for lot 3, where no pork credit is given
the steers. Each steer In lots 1, 2 and
made net profit of $15.19, $11.S7,
and $11.4S, respectively, when no
credit is given the steers of lots
and 8 for the pork produced. This
pork credit probably amounted to
about SO steer.

SUMMER FoRAGEs FOR cows
Plan Recommended by Missouri Col
Ieoe Expert Calls for Seeding
OF Sudan Grass.

A good general plan recommended
by Prof. SWEET, of Missouri Agricul-
tural college, for providing late pas
ture for cows is to plant Sudan grass
about June i, at the rate Of sixteen
pounds to the acre. This should yield
ten to fifteen tons to the acre and
should be ready for feeding from about
July Is to August 1. An early mafnr-
ing variety of soy beans planted at the
rate OF thirty pounds to the acre May
80 win be available for feeding from
about August 1 to 20. A good north
ern variety Of corn planted about the
middle Of May at the rate of six
quarts to the acre win become avail
able about August 10 and can be fed
whenever needed. The second crop Of
Sudan grass will be ready to cut about
August IS to September 1. Cow peas
planted at the rate Of i've pecks per
acre about July ! may be fed from
about August % to September TO-
After this time field corn may be used
at any time. Sorghum crops give good
results during the late summer.
