Cattle Feed May Be Outlet For Licorice Waste Licorice Is being fed to rtittle at The Pennsylvania State University. It's not that the cows have developed a “sweet tooth.” but Penn State animal nu tritionists have found that the licorice root contains wlvo'csoine nourishment. And what else can you do with used licorice root'.’ Thousands of tons of raw licoiice root are imported to Amenca each year for the few pounds of flavoring which can he extracted It comes trom Mediterranean countries, wheie the tail, colorful licor ice herb is cultivated for 'ts sweet loot Licorice extract is used primarily to flavor tobacco in cigars and cigar ettes but a Parge quantity finds ts waj into confection aries and medicines One of America’s largest producers of licorice eirtract has been trying to figure wiiat to do with the tons of root which are a by-product of the extraction process. Thirty tons of dry root Stock are spent each day by the company S'miall amounts have been packaged for mul'ch and mushroom bedding, some used in the manufacture of papei board, but much is dis carded The company turned to Dr, Theodore A Long Jr, an an nua! nutritionist in the Col lege ot Agriculture at Penn State, toi the Solution Long analyzed the licorice root and decided it might make a good mix for cattle feed After sneral months of testing a licorice diet on Uni- versity animals, Long found th'at licorice-supplemented feed is equal to regular feed. Control animals and hconce fed steers appeared to gam the same weight, and no ad verse effects were noted Licorice root has at least ;the same value as timothy hay, according to Long. Mix ed with other essentials in cattle feed, it makes a fine additional source of nutri ents for the food chain ot the expanding human popula tion, he Said Although preliminary re sults are encouraging, fur ther testing will be necessary to determine the long-term toxicity effects, if any, of the licorice root, Long said. A two-year study ot young cows fed heavily on licorice root is planned Ist LOCOMOTIVES The first two locomotives in the United States were purchased in 1829 by the Delaware and Hudson Coal Company They were replace ments for the mules who had originally drawn mal cars from the mines to the canal.
