IPrepared by the United States Department

Although more expensive at the out
set, creosoted posts are generally more
economical to use than many kinds
of untreated, shOrt-lived woods, be-
cause of their much greater lasting
qualities, the forest service of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has determined. The exceptions
would be in remote localities with
cheap wood and labor, and where 1t
would be expensive to obtain creosote.
The large saving in the replacement
charges, which ordinarily mount up so
high in maintaining fence, and the
use of cheap and inferior kinds of
woods in the first place, much more
than offset the increased cost of
thorough treatment with creOsOte.
Treated posts are good investment,
and their use where lasting woods are
scarce or expensive is a sign of sound
Judgment i'm farm management.
The best treatment is that which
results in the deepest penetration into
the wood with the least absorption of

FEEDING CATTLE is GOOD PLAN
FOR MARKETING VARIOUS CROPS

Although corn belt cattle feeders

more the industry has been profitable
on many farms and is a line of pro-
ducti0n which will continue to be an
important branch of American agri-
culture.
The bureau of animal industry,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, has recently issued Farmers
Bulletin No. 1918, Beef Production in
the Corn Belt" which contains valu-
able suggestions to the corn belt feed
ers on She economical production of
beef
The Investigations on which the bull
letin is based were conducted by the
department on 906 farms of the corn
belt and every phase of the problem
from raising calves or buying feeders
TO the marketing of the finished steer
is treated in considerable detail.

Feeding cattle for the market is
simply one method of marketing the
crops. On PSI farms in the corn belt
an average of 30 per cent Of the 1919
crops was fed to cattle Fully 90 per
cent of the fattened cattle in this
area are dry-lot fed and are marketed
before July l. The various methods
Of feeding and the feeds used are fully
discussed in the bulletin.
Feed Alfalfa and Clover Hay.
Alfalfa and clover hay are by far the
most popular dry roughages. as they
take the place of commercial protein
concentrates to a large extent. Grass
hays, with the exception of timothy
mixed with clover, are very little
used. The use of stoyers and straws
has direct bearing on the economy
of gains, and all such feeds should be
used on the farm.
The most popular protein cOncen-
trates in the corn belt are cottonseed
meal and cake and linseed meal. Corn,

and produce more cultivated crops
caused decline in beef raising, but
the keeping of COWS to raise calves
has continued to be profitable on
land too rough, too wet, or too in
fertile for cultivation. The reduction
of pasture has been compensated for
to some extent by the greater use of
clover, alfalfa, and corn silage. How
ever. since 1905 there has been some
increase in feeder production in the
corn belt due to the breaking up of
western ranges for dry farming and
irrigation.
The investigation, which was car
ried on for three years, showed that
the feed cost of keeping COW was
80 per cent Of the entire cost of main
tenance for a year, while 81 per cent
represented interest, labor, equipment
and incidentals. The total number of
cows on the 906 farms was 23,25S an
average of % to the farm. The per
cent of calves raised was practically
So. 1t was found that costs could be
reduced through three factors-in-
creasing the credits from the cows,
improving the herd, and economy in
feeding
Early Fall Buying of Feeders Best.
When feeders are not raised on the
farm buying and selling ability plays
an important part. In some seasons
certain weights and classes of cattle
may be purchased more economically
than others. Ordinarily early fall buy
ing is preferable. as competition be-
tween packers and feeders usually in
creases as winter approaches
The higher the quality of the feeder
steer the better use he will make of his
feed. though he usually eats more of
it. But this consideration should not
cause the buyer to lose sight of the
price. Fleshy feeders can often be
used to advantage on short feeds, and
when there are very good prospects
for higher prices. The older the ami
mai the quicker it will fatten,, as it
will use less feed for growth and
more for fat production.
Mature feeders fatten in three to
four months, two-year-olds in to Z
months, yearlings in eight to ten
months, and calves in ten to twelve
months. Older cattle use roughages
more advantageously, but in general
Young animals make more economical
use of all feeds. Mature cattle re-

oats. and barley are the carbohydrate
concentrates most used. MolasseS

centrates are in much demand in some
concern to the cattle feeder than sup.
plying the other constituents of the
ration because it is usually purchased.
CottOnseed meal, while it is used
more extensively throughout the corn
belt as a whole, is no more popular
than linseed meal. Most cattle feed
ers prefer linseed meal, but 1t is not
used so largely owing to its some
what higher cost. Corn makes up 90
per cent of the carbohydrate concen-
trates. Oats are frequently used in
the latter part of the feeding period
to put cattle in better shipping condi-
ton. Barley is used only in small
way, although in Illinois it made up
10 per cent of the grain ration.
Purchase Price is Half of Cost.
In fattening a steer the combined
operating expenses usually more than
equal the original purchase price of
the feeder. The factors considered in
operating expenses are feed, labor,
building and equipment, interest, mar
keting, insurance and taxes. Feed
usually constitutes about so per cent
of this expense. All the other items
are generally balanced by the manure
and pork credits.

very brief outline of the investigation
of beef production in the corn belt.

of the various operations and cost
figures should secure a copy of the
bulletin, which can be obtained free

CREOSOTE TREATMENT is BEST
FOR SHORT-LIVED FARM WOODS

important to treat the wood to height
of a foot above the proposed ground
line. In the southern states the entire
post should then be. submerged into
oil, at 80 degrees to 100 degrees F.,
for one or two hours, or for such a time
as is necessary to get good penetra-
ton. In the North, where decay is
less rapid, the hot treatment is ap-
piled only to the butts, which are
allowed to remain for two or three
hours in the cooling process, the tops
being treated by painting or dipping

STARTING TREE PLANTATIONS
Cottonwood and Willow Do Best With
Cuttings of II to IA Inches
Avoid Bruising.

Cottonwood and willow plantations
are most easily started with cuttings.
These are simply from II to 14-inch
sections taken from the one or two
year-old twigs of living trees. The
cuts should be made with a sharp
tool, to avoid bruising the bark. Cut
tings should be collected during early
winter and buried in moist sand in a
cool place until the time for plant
ing.

A LII Europe and in a lesser degree

all hurrying to Rome. Those from
the United States and Canada cannot
reach the Eternal city in time for the

postponed, and may be too late even

i.uwevcr, is unlikely, since the cam

L. ming so complicated that the choice

QlIrinai The Italian cardinals, who
are in the majority in the sacred col

I is matter, some supporting the poll
6ies of Plus X who favored a strong
l,urch independent of the italian
states, and some standing for Bene-
cts measures of rapprochement
lth the Italian government, leading
~ to final reconciliation. In the for

It is said Pope Benedict's dying wish
was that he be elected. The Italian

tacy Of MafEi because of his strong
rationallstic tendencies.
Though it is believed Cardinal Mer-
cier, the hero of Belgium, will receive

generally conceded that no non-Italian
can be elected. However, foreign ma

sire that relations between the Vati-

stored, fearing she would lose the ad-
vintage she now holds as the strongest
Catholic power. Belgium and Poland
will vote as does France. Some Of
the italian cardinals were quite sym
pathetic toward the central powers
during the war and there was a rumor
that they might combine with those

UNLESS Peking is unexpectedly
~ stubborn, the Shantung question
should be settled very shortly, ena-
bling the arms conference to adjourn
sine die. Through the efforts of Sec
retary Hughes and Mr.. Balfour a
compromise plan was arranged last
week and cabled to Tokyo and Peking
for acceptance. Under this proposal
Japan gives up her demand that the
railway be paid for through loan by
Japanese bankers, and in return China
agrees to the retention of Japanese

to be purchased by China with treas
ury notes payable at option five to
fifteen years hence. Japan's accept
ance of this plan was believed GER
tain, and President Harding himself
Peking to approve of the agreement.
The committee on far eastern af-
fairs concluded its consideration of
the Siberian question, and Japan is
left upon her honor to remove her
troops from that country as soon as
the re-establishment of political sta
bility makes it safe to do so. Through
Baron Shidehara she gave a virtual
pledge to do this, and it was recorded
in the minutes of the meeting. After
fully explaining the present retention
of japanese troops in Siberia, the
baron concluded:
Nothing Is further from the
thought of the Japanese government
than to take advantage of the present
helpless condition of Russia to prose
cute selfish designs.
'The military occupation of the Rus
sian province of Sakhalin is only a
temporary measure.
'In conclusion, the Japanese delega-
tion is authorized to declare that 1t is

to respect the territorial integrity of
Russia, and to observe the principle
of nonintervention in the internal af-
fairs of that country"
