Find Silage Profitable
as Feed for Baby Beeves

Recent feeding tests with baby
beeyes at the Minnesota experiment
station show that silage can be prof.
itably used in fattening baby beeyes.
In the tests. which were conducted by
w. H. Peters and N. X. Carnes, calves
getting sllage, plus full feed Of grain.
fed more regularly and required less
skillful and careful feeding than calves
getting heavy feed Of grain and no
silage.
The silage-fed calves gained 2s6
pounds per head per day as an average
Of 196-day feeding period. while the
calves fed without silage gained at the
rate Of 2.22 pounds per head per day.
Although the calves fed without silage
were valued at 10 cents per hundred
pounds above those which had siIage.
the sllage-fed calves showed a net
profit of s1790 per head while those
without silage made a profit of S1615
per head.
In another test barley proved prac-
tically equal to corn, pound for pound,
in making gains on fattenlng calves.
However, because Of the greater cost
Of the barley and the smaller saving
Of feed made by hogs following. the
corn-fed calves showed profit Of
$16.15 per head, while the profit on
those fed barley was but $8.91 per
head.
Pure bred heef calves hioh.orada
beef calves and common calves show
ing some traces of beef breeding made
similar gains on similar amounts Of
feed. The difference In selling price
was marked, however. the pure breds

$56.1S per head.

Rotation to Prevent
Disorders of Beans
Hand Pick Disease-Free
Pods to Use for Seeding.


Plant beans on the same land not
oftener than once In three or four
years, particularly If disease has been
prevalent. Soils which once become
thoroughly infected as a result Of con-
tinuous cropping are seldom safe to
use for the same or closely related
crops for years to come.
Wherever practical, destroy all dis
eased vines and trash by burning.
II the bean straw from diseased
vines is to be fed. do not use the
manure on a field that is to be planted
to beans.
As far as possible avoid cuitlvatlng
the beans early in the morning when
there is dew on them. or when they
are wet with rain.
Hand pick dlsesse-free pods. or II
possible. select dlsease-free plants
for seed. Use these to plant a seed
plot on land which has never raised
beans, and which is removed some
distance from the main crop.
Remember that hand picking Of seed
as It comes from the fail or thrasher
for the purpose of controlling disease
is of no value. since it Is impossible
to detect even small percentage OF
diseased seed.
Seed treatment Of beans is Of no
practical value, since any chemical
that would penetrate the seed deeply
enough to destroy the disease-produc-
ing organism would likewise be apt
to kill the seed.
Spraying with bordeaux mixture,

Champion Barrow
Has Travelled Far
oklahoma King" Has Been
Exhibited in Different
Parts of United States.

Not content with being declared the
grand champion barrow Of the world
at the 1922 international Live Stock
exposition, Oklahoma King has added
to his honors the title OF the widest
Travelled and most Inspected hog on
earth.
Instead Of being sent TO the block
after attaining supreme honors at Chi
cago last December he was purchased
by two Duroc associations and sent on
a tour Of exhibition which has carried
him to all parts Of the country. Among
the places visited were Nashville,
Tenn; Denver, Colo; Lincoln, Neb.;
Crookston, MINI. Madison and James
Vile, Wis; Fort Worth, Tex; Okla
homa City. Saltwater and Guymon,
Okla; Peoria, Urbana and Aurora, ILL.,;
Columbus, o.; Lafayette. Ind; Lex
ington, KY. and Des Moines, Ia.
His journey will continue through
out the fall months when he will be the
center of attraction at many Of the
large fairs. 1t is planned to bring him
back to Chicago the first week in De
cember for the international, this be-
ing the first time that the grand cham
pion barrow at this show has ever been
returned the following year.
Oklahoma King has stood up well
and actually gained flesh during his
travels. This is all the more remark
able in view Of the fact that he has
been shipped as any ordinary hog
would be moved about in a crate by
express. At his numerous stops, how
ever. he has been accorded royal re-
ceptions and honors have been heaped
high upon his porclne head. In one
city nothing was considered too good
for one Of his royal standing and he
was given quarters in the lobby Of the
leading hotel.
