TIME TO PURCHASE FEEDERS
no Hard and Fast Rule for Farmer to
Go By-cattie Are Higher IN
Sprinq Than in Fall.


Sim BaNter's right leg was in tenn.
porary retirement under layer Of
arnica-sOaked bandages. He regarded
the injured member with a, CLINT OF
rueful humor and spake thus to
neighbor who had dropped in for a
chat with the cheerful invalid.
Bert, tell me somethin'. How can
q Teller tell when a mean white mule
named Anarchy is goin' to kick? l
mean, how can he tell in time to Go
him any good?"
Human knowledge goes no further
than to say that a white mule is al
ways goin' to kick. Is that the an
swer? Then let me ask you Ques-
ton: How do you know whether to
buy your feeder steers in the fall
or in the spring? Do you make any
thing by feeding them in the winter.
and will you make more If you let the
other teller feed 'em through? They
cost more in the spring than in the
fall. Is there any way to be certain!'
Sim admitted that the thing was
past his comprehension and confessed
that he sometimes did the thing one
way and sometimes the other, but that
he never knew just how he was COM
ing out.
In reality, as to the time TO buy
Stockers or feeders, there is no hard
and fast rule. The usual time is IN
the fall when they must leave the
grazing areas and go where feeds
have been harvested or stored for cat
tie feeding. However, with falling
market, which no one can foreteH with
any degree of certainty. the cattle
may not be worth enough more in the
spring to pay for the winter feeding.
Yet they have been kept largely on
feed for which there is no other mar
ket.
Consequently, what Sim and his
neighbor should know is how much it
costs to keep stocke-s through the
winter on various rations, how they
lose or gain weight, and how they
gain through the summer as result
of the way they have been wintered.
Being in a better, position to carry on
feeding experiments to answer these
questions than the cattlemen, the hu-
reau of animal industry, cooperating
with the West Virginia experiment
station, conducted a series of feeding
tests In Greenbrier county, West VIr-
ginia. The experiments began De-
cember %, 1914, and covered a period
of four years, the results being now

Area of a TrianuIe.

Where the altitude and base of a
triangle Is known, the area of the tri-
angle is found by multiplying one-half
of the base by the altitude. Where the
lengths of the three sides of the tri-
angle are known, the area of the tri-
angle can be found by the following
rule: From half the sum of the three
sides subtract each side separately.
Multiply together continually the half
sum and the three remainders and
extract the square root of the prod
uct which will be the area of the tri-
angle.

published in department bulletin Stu
In brief, 80 yearling steers were Sc
Iected each year and divided into three
lots Of ten steers each. When the lots
were carefully equalized, the average
weight of the animals was 663 pounds
each. The steers were on winter ra-
lions an average of 40 days, and on
pasture an average of 15S days each
year.
The tests proved that an average
daily ration of 1913 pounds OF silage,
five pounds of mixed hay. and 20
pounds of wheat straw during the
winter would maintain these steers
without loss Of weight.
An average daily ration of 23.1
mounds of corn silage, 40 pounds OF
wheat straw and one pound Of cotton
seed meal would give each steer an
average gain of 81 pounds.
A daily ration of 11.9 pounds of
mixed hay and IL pounds of wheat
straw fed throughout the winter will
not keep the animal in good condition.
TI.is ration was responsible for loss
of 80 pounds per steer. Corn silage
gave better results than dry rough
age alone, and the steers that had
siIage as a part Of their winter IA
ton made greater total gains than
those fed on hay and straw.

ont the four years was as follows:

While some have opened during

general opening date, and the at
tendance is expected to be large
from the start, due to the fact
that there is small prune pick

years this has had great deal to

Teachers contracts and certifi-
Gates from nearly every school in
the county have been received by

ever, are required to file them
before they can draw their first
months pay.

schools, not including Salem, is
expected to be one-third larger
than last year, one or two schools
offering high school courses which
did not do so previously.
The two schools, which are de-

being caused by ahe contraction
and improvement OF new build
,ings. Improvements and addition
