Silage Is Ideal Ration
for Cows During Winter

While it is not practical to SEND
the cows south for the winter, very
close substitute for such a trip /,
found In corn silage. Every farmer
knows that green grass is the ideal
ration. Silage closely resembles grass
In that 1t Is succulent or juicy and
runs high "a food nutrients, especially
carbohydrates.
Cows getting good silage are better
off, in fact, than those on poor grass.
Their coats are glossy and their gen.
eral appearance is that Of cows on
luxurlant grass.
An additional advantage In feeding
silage has been found. MIX from ST.
lage-fed cows is richer in vitamine @
than from cows on dry feed. Silo
filing time is soon here. The man
who will have herd of cows to feed
next winter cannot afford to have a
sllo stand empty.

He was too tired to eat. Soon he

Prosper smiled a queer smile that

Prosper's smile disappeared; he

vanished with an Increase of speed and

Some Ways of Using
Big Sweet Potatoes
Methods for Converting
Them Into Useful Products.

prepared By the United States Department
of AEriculture.)
Methods of using diversified sweet
potatoes. or Jumbo" sweet potatoes,
which are produced In large number
when the growing season has been I'M
usually good constitute one of the
problems with which the United
States Department of Agriculture IL
concerned. The small or standard
market sizes of sweet potatoes, U. s.
grade No. and q. s. grade No. 2, find
more ready sale because they are suit
able for storing. canning, and shipping
to distant markets.
When good growing conditions pre-
vail up to harvest time. oftentimes as
much as 40 per cent Of the crop Is
composed of overgrown potatoes, and
the development of profitable methods
for converting them into useful prod
ucts is therefore of great Importance.
Sweet potatoes rank second in impor-
lance Of all vegetables grown In the
United States and are richer In car
bohydrates, especially starch, than any
other vegetable commonly grown. For
this reason they are possible source
OF many products containing or de
rived from starch, such as potato flour
dehydrated potatoes, starch, strip, al.
cohol, vinegar, breakfast foods, and
various kinds of feeds. All of these
products have been prepared but at
present no sweet-potato by-products in
dustry on commercial scale exists In
this country.
A method for the commercial manu-
facture Of sweet-potato sirup, based |
on laboratory and plant experimental |
work, has been developed by the bu-
reau Of chemistry Of the United States |
Department Of Agriculture While
this work has shown that the use of
this strip. IS limited by It's cost of
as compared with that of
other commonly used sirups, in any
when the price of sugar
and strip Is greatly increased, 1t might
be possible to manufacture this strip
profitably and to the benefit of Amer
can agriculture. If a method for
manufacturing 1t more cheaply could

Wisconsin Herd of Cows
Make Profit for Owner

A return Of $241 for each dollars
worth Of feed consumed is what Wis
consin herd Of IL grade and pure bred
Holstein cows made for its owner,
William Fl. Jaehnig of Fredonia, ac-
cording to A. ]. Cramer of the Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture. In one
year this herd produced an average
Of 14,248 pounds of milk, containing
504.3 pounds of butterfat, equivalent
to 1904 pounds Of butter. This pro-
duction netted a profit of s1,671.23
over cost of feed, or an average of
S153.93 for each COW in the herd.
The average production of this herd
was the highest of the 1000 herds
made up of over $4,000 cows in Wis
consin's 151 cow-testing associations.
Mr.. Jaehpig attributes his success to
the experiences he has gained in cow
testing association work and to the
influence of good pure bred Holstein
bulls.
The herd was MIXED three times a
day for four winter months and twice
daily during the rest Of the year. Very
little grain was fed during the sum-
mer as most of the cows freshened in
the fall and early winter and were
not, therefore, producing heavily dur
ng the summer months. The grain
'ation used throughout the barn-feed-
ng season consisted of the following
mixture: 300 pounds Of corn and cob
neal, 200 pounds Of ground oats. 200
POUNDS Of wheat bran, 100 pounds of
'luten feed and 100 pounds of oil meal. |

Based on digestible nutrients, wheat
and corn are practically equal pound
for pound, according to officials of the
department. But corn and corn prod
ucts alone make better feed for cat
tie than wheat and wheat products
alone. 1t Is pointed out, too, that 1t
is not necessary to grind corn as a
hog feed, while wheat should be coarse
ly ground or crushed. Wheat, accord
ing to experiments made in Nebraska,
has proved per cent more efficient
than corn for fattening steers when
fed with alfalfa hay, little prairie
hay. and straw, bran, and linseed meal.
Wheat Is Good Feed.
With wheat at its present price, 1t
Is declared to be a desirable feed for
poultry, both as a whole grain In
scratch mixtures and in ground form
mixed with mash. Fed alone, however.
IL does not give the best results, but
should be mixed with corn. Wheat
may take the place of corn In rations
for dairy cows. 1t is figured that a
bushel Of wheat Is about equal In feed
ing value to a bushel of corn, so that
In cases where the farm value of corn
Is only slightly less than that of wheat
and where the farmer has surplus
wheat but does not have corn 1t may pay
him to feed wheat, since he will save

Profitable Feed
for Farm Stock
Secretary Pugsley Sees Way
for Two Glasses of Farm
ers to Help Each Other.

prepared hy the United States Department
of Agrtculture.)
Distress calls have been coming Il
the United States Department Of Agri
culture from two large classes Of
farmers-from the wheat growers. who
find their market extremely bad. and
from live stock feeders In the corr
belt proper who have used up the corn
In their own neighborhoods and are
finding difficulty getting 1t at rea-
sonable price from outside. In view
Of these facts says acting Secretary of
Agriculture @. w. Pugsley. these two
classes may find 1t possible to assist
each other. He calls attention to the
fact that wheat is good feed for
I've stock and that when certain ra-
tios exist between the prices Of corn
and wheat the latter can be fed with
as good results as are obtained by feed
Ing corn If proper methods are fol-
lowed.
Supply Of Corn Low.
The visible supply of corn on the
drst of July Of this year was extreme
=
than ten years, and compared with the
same time In 1922 the supply Is very
short indeed. Department figures show
that on July first the visible supply Of
corn was 3.1670 900 bushels, compared
with 29,337 900 last year. The average
visible supply on that date from 1915
to 1921, inclusive, was S,5O0,OOO
bushels, and for the period from 1910
to 1914 was just about 100000
bushels.
There Is possibility that In many
places wheat may now be fed to stock,
the lower grades which
have about the same farm feeding
value as the better grades. However,
1t should be remembered that more |
labor Is necessary In feeding wheat
than in feeding corn because of the adj
of grinding or crushing 1t.
The bureau of animal industry has
studied the relative values of wheat |
and corn and the methods of feeding
wheat to the different domestic ami
mails. Price ratios have been deter
mined so the farmer may make up his
mind from this information when the
'elation of prices of these two grains
makes 1t comparatively profitable to
eed wheat to stock. Thus. for example,
Is figured that when corn is rs cents
! bushel on the farm, 80 cent wheat
AN be fed profitably to all animals
Including poultry; "a cent wheat to
attic and hogs but not for sheep and
poultry; while 90 cent wheat Is
roftable for beef cattle only. How
yer, 1t must be kept In mind that the
ost of grinding or crushing has not )
