Table Helps Feeders.

Last season the county agents in
Kentucky were furnished a,table for
the winter feeding of steers. This
unique table sent out by the Extern
sion Division of the College of Agr!-
culture, which gave the daily proper
ton of corn silage, cotton-seed meal,
shelled corn and dry roughage to be
fed 1 1000 pound steer for $50 days,
proved of great value to cattle feed
ers. At a glance 1t was possible to
know just how the feed should be
definite increases in the ration. The
value of the table was so well estab-
lished that a small circular contain
ing such information is being prepar-
ed by the Animal Husbandry Depart
ment of the College of Agriculture.
Since the table of last season was
sent to the county agents, two small
punches of cattle have been fed and
marketed at the Experiment Station.
These two punches were given exact
ly the same feed except that one pen
received sorghum silage while the 9TH
err pen got corn silage. As this was
the second year of this experiment in
the feeding of sorghum silage the
new circular will be able to say the
following about the value of sorghum
as silage:
TESTS at the Experiment Station
show that sorghum silage compares
quite favorably with corn silage in the
fattening of steers and for the pres
ent we would recommend that the
system of feeding he the same where
1t Is employed as where corn silage is
used"
The county agent hopes that every
feeder of cattle will secure this useful
circular as soon as It is available.

Sweet Potatoes.

Sweet potatoes should be handled
very carefully and stored in a warm.
dry place. AS a rule the cellar is too
moist. A cellar in which there is a
furnace is a suitable place for storing
them. but they should be kept either
in crates or in open boxes at some
distance above the floor. A shelf in
the kitchen or in any room OF the
dwelling that is kept reasonably
heated will be found satisfactory. This
crop keeps best under exactly the OPP
posite conditions from those required
for Irish potatoes.

Funk Knows Corn.

Eugene d. Funk is a seed-corn spe-
cialist. He grows seed corn on s.
600 acres each year and sells pedi-
greed seed corn all over the world.
What he says concerning the selection
and care of seed corn should be of
interest to every farmer who is select
ing and storing his seed corn this au-
tumn.
In an article on seed corn in the
October number of Farm x Fireside,
Mr.. Funk gives the rules which must
be carefully followed to insure good
seed:
l. Get only a few bushels, enough
to plant special seed-corn plot.
From this select the seed for the sue
ceeding years crop.
9. Pick seed corn in the field
when IL Is ripe-that Is. before it
freezes.
3. Pick medium-sized ear, not a
big one. Large ears mean late ma
turing plants.
4. Don't pick an ear from a hill
which has smut in or near it.
5. Don't let your seed corn freeze.
Store it in a warm. dry place where
plenty of air is circulating.
6. Don't pile up the ears. Hang
the corn so the ears do not touch.
Z. Test your seed early enough so
that If your corn does not show good
termination you will have time to
get and test new seed.
s. Change your seed corn every
few years for the same reason that a
breeder changes his bulls.
