DoY-to-DaY Operations
OF q DoirYmon-Feed
BY ALBERT KING

FARM TOURS ARE a fine thing and
1 try to attend them every time l have
a chance and whenever one is held in
this area. A good farm tour provides
an opportunity for us to get off our
own place and to see what other fellows
who are carrying on the same kind of
farming enterprises are doing.
January seems to be the most popular
time of year in which to hold livestock
tours. The reason for this is that we
are not as busy with field work and
other jobs during January and it's
easier to get away for day.
Our county Extension agents and Ex-
tension livestock specialists are the
boys who put the spark into a farm
tour. Their careful planning and the
organization of reliable information
which they get from the Experiment
Station makes worthwhile contribu-
ton to the program We learn new
ways of doing things and are brought
up to date on latest scientific develop
mentS.
NeighbOrly Visits
I think, however, that one of the most
important benefits that comes from
a farm tour is the opportunity it pro-
vides for visiting with our friends and
neighbors and getting acquainted with
the business men from town. The
Chamber of Commerce usually sponsors
free lunch which always makes a
hit and shows that they are interested
in the farmers problems and want to
help develop the agricultural resources
of the community.
The last farm tour we had was a
feeder tour We visited the various feed
lots where cattle are being fattened
for market. We saw cattle being fed
in small, compact areas, well bedded
with straw and well supplied with fresh,
warm water.
We also saw some lots that were
large and spacious. Some feeders
thought they were too large but the
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1956-02-01

men doing the feeding thought they
were just right and claimed number
of advantages over the smaller ones.
Feed RatiOns
We were told about various feed
rations. Some farmers are using steam
rolled barley containing a mixture of
oats and wheat with alfalfa hay and
silage as the roughage. We were told
that using dried beet pulp in the ration
was just as good as grain when not
more than half of the concentrated
ration was made up of pulp. We also
found out that using pulp reduces dam
ger of bloat, which is usually the cause
for the greatest loss in a feeding opera
ton.
Some feeders are mixing straw with
their alfalfa hay on about a $3.50 basis
to prevent bloat and this seems to
work very well. The men who are
feeding cattle this year seem to think
the margin of profit will be small, as
the spread between feeders and fin
iShed cattle is narrow and the price
of feed is not low enough to permit
very big profit.
Quick Turnover
1t was also agreed by those on the
livestock tour that volume is one of
the most important factors contributing
to the success or failure of the enter
prise. Those who are doing the best
job have their feed lots so arranged
that they can be filled and emptied
several times during the season. This
quick turnover provides a large vol
ume even in a small lot.
Feeding to grade is also important
and the Extension specialists pointed
out that there is not much profit in
feeding cattle beyond good or choice
grades. because consumer demand is
for meat of this quality.
Most feeders are using the new mir
acle feed supplement, stilbestrol. This
material increases the appetite of cat
tie and increases the daily gain to such
an extent that a profit is oftentimes
made possible by the use of this feed
where loss would be sustained other
wise. Science is being put to practical
use in feed lots and the farmers we
visited are doing an excellent job OF
converting home grown feeds into
steaks and roasts.

1t depends lot on the quality of your

State Agricultural Colleges agree that
seed treated with liquid PANoGEN will
usually come up sooner, give bettef

In 1854 North Dakota trials, for ex-

Keep Laying House
Well Ventilated
By BOYD ELLIS

". L AM fhEF ARMY my laying
house for the winter months. have
cleared the house and put in new litter.
The front of the house is open. Should
cover all of this open area with glass
substitute material?-P RS, Wyoming.
A: 1t is good idea to prepare the
house and birds for the winter months
before cold weather comes. Most of us
are inclined to wait until the last min
ute to prepare our flock for cold
weather. So, we usually get caught by
an unexpected blizzard which could af-
feet the birds all winter
You have gotten a good start in get
ting your flock ready for cold weather.
A clean house and good litter are i'm
portant However, there are few
other things which should be checked.
How about lice and mites? Did you
check for them? They remain active
all winter and could cause poor pro-
duction. Feed and water are two very
important items in the care of laying
flock during cold weather. Be sure the
birds are getting enough feed to main
tain body weight and produce eggs. A
good source of clean, fresh water is just
as important as a good feeding pro-
gram. Check the drinking founts and
warmers to be sure they are working
properly before freeze comes.
Your question on covering the front
of the house is one that gives us a lot
of trouble. Most of the poultrymen in
this part of the country make the mis-
take of closing the house up too tight
during cold weather. All windows are
closed to keep the birds warm This is
a serious mistake A hundred hens will
eliminate between three to four gallons
of water from the lungs and in the
droppingS each day. It's easy to figure
what the condition of the floor litter
would be if some of this moisture was
not removed from the house. The only
way to get this excess moisture out Of
the house is to let the air take it out
This means that we have to have freSl
air moving through the house at al
times. Our laying house at the Univer
sity Farm here at Laramie has con
tinuous windows in the front All o
these windows are left open from fou
to six inches at the top at all times
They are never closed even in coldes
weather. The litter in this house stay
fairly dry and production remains good
In your particular case I would sug
gest you use the glass substitute o
frames, similar to window screens
These frames should be used on tn
inside of the house. Hinge them at tn
bottom so they can be opened at tn
top. If this method is used you ca
ventilate the house without danger {
floor drafts.

New Tomato Varieties
Displayed At Field Day

Like TO try out a new tomato
variety in your garden or CONNER
cial planting next year? One that
doesn't give up on wilt-infested
soils and doesn't tend to show
cracks in the fruit?
Such variety was on display
recently at the annual Field Day
at the University of Delaware's
Georgetown agricultural research
station. according 10 county agent
William II. Henderson.
Seventy five new varieties are
on test at the Georgetown research
station TO see if they can outdo the
commercial varieties most widely
grown in Delaware at present.
Some of the tests are made on
soils infested with fusariaum wilt,
a plant disease that plays hob with
most tomato varieties. Some of the
new varieties, including one called
Wiltmaster, aren't affected by the
wilt. In the tests, Wiltmaster and
the other wilt-resistant kinds
showed no damage, while right
alongside, plants of the we'll
known Rutgers variety and the
equally well-known Garden State
variety were either severely dam
aged or completely killed.
A new variety called Delaware
33 looks especially good. It's a
cross between Wiltmaster and an
experin. entail variety produced by
the New York experiment station.
Not only does this cross resist
wilt but ii also cuts down on the
tendency of some of our tomatoes
TO crack.
