STOCK
MOST ECONOMICAL OF FEEDS
Better Use Of Cheap Roushase or
Farm By-Produets Should Be
Practice Of stoekmen.

tFrom 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
dirarily on local and seasonal condi-
ticns.
In years when there is serious
shortage of corn, farmers will find 1t
necessary greatly to reduce the guam
tity of the corn that ordinarily is fed
US grain or fodder or silage. That this
can be done under many circumstances
Is evident from study of the rec
oids. They show that ration which
does not contain corn fodder either as
grain or in fodder or slage can be fed
without any detriment whatever to the
cows or their offspring. There were
149 of the farms studied feeding such
rntiOns, 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 $13.10 per COW, as against
an average of $1,000 for those using
grain, fodder, or silage, showing saw
ing of $3.50 per head due to elimlna-
tion Of corn.
The use of such a 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 r:-
tlon consists of cheap roughage. which.
unless there IS some winter pasture. is
largely composed of carbohydrates,
there should be 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 stOver, 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 n 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.
The fact that the 149 farms using
the cheaper ration were not feeding

German Atrocities Continue to
the End.

chimes.

With the British-American Armies.
German deviltry seemed to know no
bounds in the last days Of fighting on
the British front, after the linden
burg line had been shattered. They
attached grenades to the bodies of
dead Huns left behind in the German
retreat, so that when the bodies were
lifted the grenades exploded, killing
or wounding the bearers.
Near the town of lie Cateau, num-
Der of Australian stretcher bearers
were killed by these grenades in at
tempting to remove some German
dead from the field from in front
of an American machine-gun position.
Thereafter, no Australian would put
hand on dead German. In some
cases the bodies were dragged to their
burial places by means of long
rope, which allowed the stEetcher
bearers to keep out Of range Of any
exploding hand grenades.
The Americans, on the other hand,
hit upon plan of making the Ger
man prisoners bury their own dead.
In one instance, Boche prisoner was
summarily shot because he refused to
remove the body of one of his dead
companions. An examination of the
body later led to the discovery that
1t was mined. The German was aware
of this fact and refused to touch it.
In one small town evacuated by the
Germans, many Of the beds wera
found to be mined. An American off,

The lounge blew up and he was In

Another officer picked up pair of

was adjusting the focus when the
glasses exploded in his hands and
blew away part Of his face.
The Huns had become adept In the
nefariOus business of making Internal
machines, mines and time fuses, and
there was scarcely an area where tbs

OF grain. This Is particularly true Of
cattlemen who are conducting 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 1874 farms (not 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.s0 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 2 bushels Of
corn and Is pounds Of cottOnseed
neal 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
$14.6O. or 8 cents a day. In the herds
where grain constituted more than
10 per cent Of the ration. the cows re-
teived an average Of from 6 to 1s
bushels Of corn. much of which was
unnecessary. The average cost Of feed
for wintering these cows ranged from
$3.50 to more than $50 a head.

utilize corn stover to best advantage
1t should be used early in the winter,
saving other roughages until later.
Other coarse roughages may also be
used to better advantage by feeding
them to dry cows and feeder steers,
saving the more desirable roughages
for breeding animals and calves. Dry
cows and steers may be wintered large
ly on roughages alone by beginning
to feed them earlier in the winter. be-
fore they begin to lose weight. This
is particularly true of the cattle
shipped into the Southwestern states
from the drought area of the South
west. These cattle are in somewhat
thin condition and should be fed more
literally than native cattle, at least
until well started through the winter
feeding period.
