GETTING PROFITS IN
FEEDING LIVE STOCK
Two Tests Conducted on Private
Farms in Florida.
Herd of Native Steers Turned on Field
of Velvet Beans Gave Better Re-
suits Than Those Fed on
More Expensive Feeds.

Less gains In weight but greater
profits resulted from feeding herd of
cattle in a velvet bean field, compared
with another herd fed in similar field
for only a short time and then given
more costly feed, including sorghum
silage and cottonseed meal. These two
feeding tests were conducted on pri-
vate farms in Florida in cooperation
with the bureau of animal industry.
United States department of agricul-
ture.
In one case 220 native steers, three
to five years old and averaging $50
pounds per head, were turned into
an S0-acre field OF velvet beans early
In November. After % days the ami
mails averaged 500 pounds and the feed
was changed to sorghum silage. velvet
beans in pod and cottOnseed meal. On
the flfty-sixth day the weight was 5So
pounds. On the eighty-fourth day.
when the test ended. it was GA pounds.
The average daily grain per head was
approximately three-fourths Of a
pound. The ration was not the typical
fattening ration used heretofore but
was one used TO secure a comparable
degree of finish. Had grain been fed
In addition probably a greater gain
would have been secured. There was
a 81 margin and profit of S4.02 per
head.
In the second experiment 116 native
steers similar to the first herd were
pastured on an S5-acre field of velvet
beans for p days. beginning at about
the same time of year. The lost
considerable in weight for a part of
the second month. but there was a
daily average gain for the whole pc
riOd Of q little more than one-fourth
pound per steer. The pasture charge
in this case was SO per acre. and the
profit $685. per head The margin was
s., as in the other case.

Red clover seed is selling at approx

wholly an inexpensive operation.
There is but one factor in crop pro-

ably, he can control culture, but too

beyond his power. But, no matter
what happens. the farmer can he sure
that he is planting good seed-the
kind of seed that, given a fair chance,
will produce a full crop. He cannot
afford to handicap himself at the out
set by planting adulterated or dead
seed-the kind of seed that can

required to make certain statements

state commerce. In order to meet this
difficulty so far as possible, the Secre-
tary of agriculture, in 1917, asked rep
resentatives of the seed trade to meet
in Washington and secured the con-

that seed men label all farm seeds

ROAD TESTS IN CALIFORNIA
Over Adobe Land Concrete Is Laid on
Sides With Macadam in Middle
Surface Topped.

An experiment in road construction
over adobe land is being made in a
section of the county highway between
Bay Point and Pittsburg, in Cali
fOrnia.
Experience has shown that concrete
roads built over adobe land results in
the cracking and disintegratin1 of the
road in a few seasons and in an effort
to overcome this trouble County
Surveyor Arnold is having the link of
the county highway constructed in a
manner tried in several eastern states
and proved successful.
The concrete is laid in two separate
sections, each eight feet wide with a
two-fOot strip through the center. In
this strip is placed oil macadam which
is rolled level to the surface of the
concrete and the entire surface Is
faced with a topping.
