Corn Silage Better Than Sorghum
Experiments Show

experiments pIfOW
Corn silage is slightly better for
beef production than sorghum silage
when the crops are considered on an
acre basis from the standpoint of
economy, according to results of
tests conducted by the Kentucky Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station which
have just been published in bulletin
form for distribution to interested
farmers. The publication gives the
five-year results of growing corn
and sorghum for silage under both
field and plot conditions and the
three-year averages of feeding trials
to determine the efficiency of these
two feeds as beef producers. Twenty
head of steers were divided into lots
of ten each and fed each winter one
lot receiving corn silage and supple
mentary feeds and the other sor-
ghum silage ond the same kinds of
supplementary feeds. The bulletin
points out that the chief advantages
to be derived from substituting sor-
ghum for corn silage are that sor-
ghum will stand a drouth better
than corn and is not as easily hurt
by frost.
Taking into account the larger
yield of sorghum an acre. the higher
cost of producing sorghum silage.

that received sorghum slage, the
greater gains made by steers receiv-
ing corn silage, and the larger
amount of sorghum silage and sup
Elementary feeds required with sor-
ghum silage to produce 100 pounds
of gain, sorghum silage is 92.2 per
for beef production, the bulletin
states. One acre of sorghum silage
and supplementary feeds produced
36.4 per cent more beef than did one
acre of corn silage and supplement
tary feeds but it cost an average of
S24.55 to produce 100 pounds of
beer with the sorghum silage and
s21.s4 with the corn silage when
the two were charged at the same
price. Steers receiving corn silage
made an average OF "a pounds more
gain each day than those receiving

Hens For Breeding Best Selected
Now


Now
With the culling season almost ov-
er and the loafer hens removed from
the flock the next important thing
for poultry raisers of the State to do
in order to increase the profits from
their focks is to select the hens that
are to be kept for breeders, poultry
specialists say. This is the logical
time of the year to select the breed
ers, according to j. r. Smyth, field
agent in poultry from the College of
Agriculture, since it is possible to
distinguish them now by following
the culling method wrereas in the
spring all birds in the flock will
look alike. The hens that are lay
ing now are the ones to keep as
breeders because experience has
shown that they are the heavy lay
ers, the specialists say.
1t is important that the hens to be
used as breeders have large capacity
which is indicated by broad back
and deep body together with high
vitality which is indicated by the
conformation of the birds. The back
of the desirable breeder should car
ny it's width back to the tail while
the depth of the body measured be-
tween the ends of the breast and
pelvic bones should be at least the
width Of four fingers when the hen
is in laying condition.
General indications of high vatal;-
ty in hens are broad, deep head f;
bright, prominent eye, long, deep
body; strong, parallel legs; stylish
carrige and an active disposition
These are the points to look for in
picking out the birds that are to be
kept for breeders, the specialists
say. Details of the culling method
which also may be used in picking
on the birds that are to be eliminat-
ed from the breeding flock are con-
tanned in Circular No. 101 which
may be obtained free by writing the

Campbell Dairying Makes Rapid
Growth

Campbell county's dairying indus
try has advanced rapidly during the
past year partly as a result of the
work done by the cow testing asso-
citation organized among farmers of
that district, according to report
made by County Agent Fl. F. Link
following the organization of the
association for another year. Be-
fore the association was formed the
purebred dairy cattle in the county
did not number more than dozen
while at the present time there are
more than 80 purebred cows and
heifers in the county bull associa-
ton, the organization Of which
marked another step in the ad-
vancement Of the industry. With a
cooperative testing association and
a similar association whose members
use purebred sires Campbell county
stands out as one of the most pro-
gressive dairy counties in the state.

Soda In Water Keeps Pots And Pans
Bright

Washing pots and pans after each
time they are used In hot, soapy
water containing a small amount Of
washing soda is perhaps the best
means OF keeping these kitchen
utensils clean and slightly, home
economies specialists at the College
of Agriculture say. One pound of
washing soda to four quarts Of water
makes a solution of the right
strength to add to the wash water.
Where it is necessary to scour the
metal of the utensils to keep them
in good condition 1t is said that
whiting gives satisfactory results
with the least wear on the metal.
The acids of such common foods as
rhubarb, tomatoes. lemons or
oranges will often remove discolora-
tions. Rinsing the utensils with
boiling water and drying them
thoroughly before trey are put away
also is helpful in keeping them clean
and bright, the specialists say.
Whiting moiste. 4 with any food
acid such as those mentioned is good
for aluminium. Washing soda
shoaId not be used on utensils made
OF this material since the alkali
which :. contains darkens the metal.
A weak soda solution often will re-
move grease from brass while whit
ing and a. dilute acid will remove
tarnish. Brass may be polished
with rotten stone and sweet oil and
dried with soft cloth. Copper may
be cleaned in the same way.
Kerosene will remove rust and
grease from iron. Boiling utensils
OF this kind in strong solution of
washing soda also will remove rust.
In some cases a strong abrasive such
rs emery may be necessary In order
70 remove all the rust. Too much
scrubbing with harsh substances

Many Farmers Plan For Winter
Reading


Many Kentucky farmers are max
ing plans to follow helpful reading
courses during the coming winter
months il the interest shown by
thousands who have had their names
placed on the newly revised mailing
lists being prepared by the College
of Agriculture at Lexington is taken
as an indication. During the past
few months more than 5000 farmers
of the State have expressed their de-
sire to receive free circulars and
bulletins on timely agricultural
problems from the institution while
as many as ESQ farmers have written
to the college in one day to have
their names entered. During a per-
iod of three weeks an average of
200 names were received each day.
Poultry and livestock feeding and
poultry housing are the most
popular subjects with the farmers,
who already have had their names
placed on the lists.
