SIRES DETERMINE SUCCESS OF
ANY LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY
II Individual Operations do Not Justi-
fy Good Sire, Farmers Should
Cooperate.

THE farmers of Colorado should
look well to the sires they purchase" "
says r. W. Clark, Of the Colorado
Agricultural College. DAIRY sires
should be bought on the records of
their dams or daughters. Low-pro-
ducing cows should not be considered
at any price, and they are invariably
the result of poor sires.
"Our horse markets are flooded
with small inferior horses, the get of
poor sires. At the country sales,
common horses sell for about $50 a
head, while the heavy horse, weigh
ing 1900 pounds or above, sells for
$500 or more. Better, heavier sires
will get the better grade of horses.
"rhe range man, who is pro-
ducer of beef, appreciates good sires
and invariably has them, but the
small farmer who runs only a few
cows cannot afford a good beef sire,
and consequently uses any kind of a
sire he can get. The results are a
lot of hit-and-miss calves that bring
the lowest prices. To overcome this
condition there should be co-opera-
tion in the purchase and use of good
sires. By this arrangement every
farmer can have the use of a good
sire at a very normal cost.
THE use of boars and rams comes
in for the same consideration. 1t is
n mistake to use an untried boar or
ram once and then get rid Of him.
His value as an individual and breed
er can be determined only after he
has been developed. and the character
of his offspring determined. When
he is owned by single farmer the
cost of keep is so high and there is
so much labor required in his care
that the farmer gets rid Of him after
one season. When the sire is owned
comparatively the reverse is true.
and he can be detained as long as de-
sired at a low cost to the coopera-
tors.
Cooperative ownership of sires
is one of the big questions that con-
front the farmers. and it should have
their most careful consideration.
Better sires mean better animals
and greater profit. With high priced
feed. the best is none too good"

HIGHER FINISH CAN BE
ATTAINED WITH SILAGE
Cost of Gains is Also Reduced and
Loss by Shrinkage Is No
Greater.

Include silage in your ration for
fattening livestock, for silage cheap
ems the cost of gains and produces a
higher finished animal, according to
p. X. Heerwagen, of the Colorado Ag-
ricultural College. Mr.. Heerwagen
says:
"Silage cheapens the cost Of grains,
as shown by results Of steer feeding
experiments at the Colorado Expert
ment Station. Silage not only made
saving on hay, but steers fed silage
along with grain and hay required
less grain. one ton Of silage replac-
ing 1913 pounds of barley and 297
tons of alfalfa.
when silage is fed with a ration
of grain and hay a higher finish on
the animal results. This is due to the
fact that the silage, which is n pala-
table, succulent feed, keeps tho
digestive system in the best of condi.
ton and improves the natural thrift
of the animal.
Cattle that are fed silage do moi
shrink in transit any more than dc
those receiving dry roughage alone
Silage-fed cattle should be fed hay
alone the last two or three days pre-.
vious to shipping. as this puts then
in better shape for the trip"
