FATTENlNG FEED FOR STEERS
Experimental Stations Recommend
Corn Silage and Concentrates as
Best for Cattle.

Corn silage and concentrates are
highly recommended as fattening feed
for steers. Experimental stations re.
port that sil6ee and oil meal or cot
tonseed meal invariably prove to be
cheaper than corn or even than hay
or corn with concentrates or silage
and hay by themselves.
It is admitted that a steer cannot
be finished for beef properly and to
the best advantage on an all-silage
diet. But the most polished steer on
the market is not always the most
profitable one. High priced feed may
surcost the high priced carcass.

OF valuable native and planted white
pine trees is the urgent recommends
ton of federal and state authorities
to pine owners in regions where the
destructive white pine blister rust
has appeared OR is likely to appear.
This action is urged as a result
of reports made when representatives
Of the northeastern and middle west
ern white pine states, the Canadian
government and the United States

Garden Notes
For January

The following crops should be
planted this month: Cabbage, eau
linower, Iale, mustard, onion sets,
parsnips, English peas and radish.
In south Georgia the following
crops should also be planted; As
paragus, lettuce, Irish potatoes and
spinach.
Sow the cabbage, lettuce, Tadish,
beet, onion seed in cold frames for
early planting.
The hot bed in north Georgia and
middle Georgia should be started
now if it has not already been
done.
For artificial heat use nothing but
fresh horse manure.
Now is the time to prepare for a
prices of food stuffs. A large sur
plus should be produced because a
ready market can be found for good
vegetables. When manure is used
it should be well rotted.
Be sure and have garden tools,
spray material and spray apparatus
in readiness for early crops of vege-
tables. The compressed air spray
ers are recommended. They are
from 3 to IL gallons capacity.
Get brass tanks, as these will out
last three to six of the galvanized
tanks and cost few dollars more.
For controlling the cabbage worm
use one pound of arsenate of lead

Orchard Notes
For January

The orchard should be pruned and
wormed if it has not already been
done. After the orchard has been
pruned all of the twigs, limbs and
trash should be gathered UP and
burned. This is a good way to keep
down insects and fungus diseases.
Spraying should be we'll under way
for controlling the San Jose scale.
The better the pump used the more
pressure is obtained and the less ma
terial is wasted. Be sure and have
the pump in good working order be-
fore trying to spray. The concen-
trated lime-Sulphur solution that is
used for spraying for the scale can
be bought from the following: j. w.

Cheaper Diet
Increased Beef Profits

Less gains in weight, but greater
profits, resulted from feeding a herd
of cattle in a velvet bean field, COM
pared with another herd fed in
similar field for only a short time
and then given more costly feed, in
seed meal. These two feeding tests
were conducted on private farms in
Florida in cooperation with the bu-
reau of animal industry, United
States department. of agriculture.
In one case 220 native steers, 3 to
5 years old and averaging 582 pounds
per head, were turned into an SO-acre
field of velvet beans early in NoVem-
Der. After % days the animals av-
eraged $50 pounds and the feed was
changed to sorghum silage. velvet
beans in pod, and cottonseed meal.
On the t1fty-siXth day the weight was
$50 pounds. On the eighty-fourth
day when the test ended it was 644
pounds. The average daily gain per
head was approximately three
fourths of a pound. The ration was
NOT the typical 1attenlng ration used
heretofore but was one used to Sc
cure a comparable degree of finish.
Had grain been fed in addition, prob
ably greater gain would have been
secured. There was 50 margin and
profit of $4.02 per head
In the second experiment 116 ma
tive steers similar to the first herd
were pastured on an 85-acre field of
velvet beans for 70 days, beginning
at about the same time of year. They
lost considerable in weight for a part
of the second month, but there was

and the profit $685. per head. The

You evidently desire to secure
some information relative to what
may be termed the principle of In
and-in- breeding"
A good deal of the Improvement
registered in live stock and il plants
as well has been brought about
through close "In-breeding." There
are two types of policy which may
be followed. One is the association
together of closely related animals.
The other is termed "Iine-breeding"
which means that the ancestors of
all the animals bred together belong
to the same general family type
though the individual concerned may
not enjoy specially close blood re-
lationship.
The general practice of "In-and-in-
breeding" on the average farm is to
be avoided; but for certain purposes
and in a case such as you have in
dicated, there is no real, sound obpec-
ton to be urged against the prac-
tice "In-and-in- breeding, however,
only succeeds in the hands of skilfnl
men and where the individual ami
mails so used are Of superior type
and constitution. In such a case,
close breeding is often justified be-
cause of the essential need of IN
tensifying especially valuable quail
ties and transmitting them to sue
ceeding generations.

fine IGrCnGrOn mare eight years Olu
which in good condition until yes
terday when her bowels became very
loose. l have been feeding her cane and
soy bean hay along with corn fodder,
corn and oats, and wheat bran. l let
heg a rye patch yesterday. Please
give me remedy and oblige.
The first thing we would do in
reference to treating the Percheron
mare about which you write is as
follows:
Give her a dose of epson salts.
One and one-half pounds would be
about the right amount to use. The
salts should be diluted in lukewarm
water and should be given as a
drench. 1t is very important that
the head of the horse be held high
during this operation.
1t is quite evident that there is
some disturbance of the digestive
tract due probably to the ration used
not being sufficiently varied or prob
ably on account of the animals hav-
ing been accustomed to eating dry
food for a long period Of time ana
then turned out on a rye pasture.
L would be sure that the feed used
is free from dust and mold. This
animal should be allowed on the rye
pasture only about five minutes the
first day and the time gradually
heightened until she becomes aGcus-
toned to this kind of food Other
wise, there is danger of developing
hoven, or bloat. Musty or moldy
hay is a dangerous food for horses
at any time. While corn may con-
stitute a considerable part of the
ration, it is better to combine corn
and bran or corn, bran and oats ir
equal parts for all animals such as
you desC S't1 You should feed lib
eral an3T n of. this ration, but of
course over feeding is to be avoided.
The use of too much legume hay is
also an undesirable practice. I would
suggest that you substitute for the
cane and soy bean hay, some good
mixed hay or pulled fodder. A COOL
crop to grow, cure out as hay and
feed work stock in Georgia is oats
and Vetch.
[ suggest that you secure the fol-
lowing materials, mix together very
thoroughly and give a heaping tea
spoonful three times day in the

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR.. ANDREW M. SOULE

The owner should not forget, how
ever, that hogs so handled will make
a better use of the grain than If
confined to pens, and that the COM
bination of the forage crops with
the grain will reduce the amount of
concentrates necessary to use and so
lessen the cost of finishing the ami
mails quite materially.
Hog-Grazing System
When the establishment of a per-
manent system of nog grazing Is
under consideration it is well to re-
member that at least one acre of
permanent pasture and as much of
a temporary character should be
provided for each brood SOW kept on
the plantation. In fact, [ would go
further and say that there shcIlG
be at least two acres of temporary
pasture for each acre of permanent
pasture. The reason for this lies in
the fact that the brood SOW will
likely have at least one litter of
pigs to carry through the summer,
when the temporary pastures will be
found most valuable.
In combining hogs various methods
VI PROCEDURE Inlay D6 lOllOWeu. AlIGI
the permanent lots have been laid
out they should be fenced in thor
oughly up-to-date manner. Heavy,
stout posts of a permanent type
should be planted deeply in the
ground and a strong woven wire
fence strung around the lot. AS there
will be more or less land subject to
Temporary use, however, other types
of fencing might be employed. Our
experience indicates that the best
temporary fence is one prepared as
follows: Use wire, say 38 to 4S
inches high. We much prefer the
latter Staple this wire to a good,
stout post with a sharpened end
Allow u feet between the posts.
This wire may be rolled up and
transported from place to place
without much difficulty. We have
recently concluded that a steel post
might be about as economical and as
desirable as the wood post. We be-
lieve this provides the best tenn
porary fence which can be used I'M
der existing circumstances.
There are so many questions to be
considered in the discussion of a
topic Of this character that it is
difficult to know just where to be-
gin. Soil and climatic conditions
will influence the nature and char
acter of the crops to be utilized, the
time of planting, the rate of seed
ing, and the best season for graz
ing. In general way the best
grasses to use for permanent pas
lures in the south are Bermuda, Dali
las grass or carpet grass. Of the
clovers, alfalfa can be grown quite
extensively, certainly throughout all
the Piedmont section and in a part
of the coastal plain region as well.
Black medic ard hop clover will
grow in certain sections with con-
siderable advantage. We cannot rec
ommend these clovers, however, for
general or extensive use. Crimson
clover can be grown in practically
all of the southeastern territory with
success. 1t should be seeded as early
in the fall as practicable and not
grazed until it has attained consid-
cradle growth. 1t should not be
grazed after the seed heads begin to
form.

Maintenance Methods

The method of maintenance which
will best insure health is that re-
quiring animals to take a maximum
amount of exercise out in the open
air and sunshine. To this end the
raising of hogs on pasture crops
has proven to be the most profitable
and desirable practice to tollow, not
only in the sunny south but in other
sections of the country as well. Here
in the south we are particularly for
tunate in our situation because we
have a maximum of sunshine, an
unusually long growing season, and
a succession of crops at our COM
mand which will provide hogs with
part of the food they need at al
most any season of the year. The
question of pasture crops for hogs,
therefore, is live issue with every
progressive farmer. Of course, if
one can make pastures permanent
or semi-permanent it is an advan-
tage. as they do not have to be re-
newed so frequently.
There are some grasses and some
clovers which we can use in this
manner with considerable advantage.
These crops can be supplemented
satisfactorily by the employment of
heavy-yielding, temporary forage
crops. OF course, it must be re-
membered that green forage is little
better than a maintenance ration
and hence if hogs are expected to
make rapid gains they must be given
a liberal allowance of grain as well.

Pa sturing Hogs

Keeping the hog healthy is a mat
ter of great concern to the stOckman.
AS long as his animals are in a Wig
OrouS condition they grow and thrive,
and if his herd is not reduced by
disease and he feeds them with any
degree of skill they will return him
a large profit If disease attacks
the herd, however, and 10 to 20 per
cent of the animals are lost his
profit has vanished into thin air.
Hence the matter of keeping hogs
healthy is one of universal concern
because it gives the owner an in
centive to maintain and increase his
operations, and it thus helps pro-
vide consuming populations with a
necessary part of their diet.
What can we do to help keep hogs
in a healthy condition? First OF all
they should be provided with q ra-
ton suited to their needs. Such a
ration must contain a proper pro-
portion of those constituents which
develop bone, muscle and fat The
constituents concerned are mineral,
protein and carbohydrates. These
are found in nearly all foodStutf3,
but they are seldom in proper pro-
portion. The owner must therefore
proceed to balance these constituents
mp if he would preserve the health
of his animals. 1t is an old eXpe-
rience with hog raisers to find ami
mails which are confined to iloored
pens and fed on corn breaking down
in the hind quarters. This is due
primarily to the lack of protein. and
especially mineral matter in corn.
If the hogs are given their liberty
and the ration is varied they regain
their normal condition. Hence con-
fining hogs in small, illyentilated
and insanitary pens is to be avoided
