PRINCIPAL AIM IN WINTERING STOCKERS
(By ¢. I. BRAY, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
The principal object in wintering
cattle is to bring them through the
the winter in such condition that they
will make the best returns the next
season, In days of unlimited range
and cheap beef, what would now be
considered a high death loss was tak-
as a matter of course. With
high beef prices, limited range, and
with feedstuffs more readily available
in case of need, it is not considered
economical to let stock cattle lose
flesh in wintering. They will be in
better shape to take advantage of the
next season’s grass if they gain a lit-
tle through the winter. It is not ad-
visable, on the other hand, to let stock
cattle fatten much, unless they are to
be fed out for market before June, as
they are likely to lose this fat on
early spring grass, and will not make
such profitable gains through the fol-
lowing summer.
Under farm conditions, the greatest
possible use should be made of such
roughages as corn fodder, straw, or
silage, but these feeds must be
supplemented with either a little cot.
tonseed cake, linseed meal or alfalfa
hay. An advantage of cottonseed
cake is that it can be used readily
to supplement poor winter grazing, be-
ing easily transported, very concen-
trated, easy to feed, and a natural
supplement to native grasses. Alfalfa
alone fed to steers at the North Platte
station, Nebraska, made gains of three-
fourths pound per day as compared to
gains of one-fifth pound on prairie hay,
but alfalfa and prairie hay tegether
were practically equal to alfalfa alone.
Fourteen pounds of straw and one
pound of cottonseed meal have put
21 pounds gain on stockers during a
winter's feeding. The addition of one
pound cottonseed meal to a silage ra-
tion has proved more profitable than
silage alone, making total gains of 16
pounds per head.

even in such a case it might do no
harm. There is little positive informa-

Succulent feed should be given te
chickens in winter, because of its val
ue as a tonic, asserts RR. M. Sherwood,
acting head of the department of poul
try husbandry in the Kansas state ag
ricultural college.
“Beets, silage, and alfalfa may be
obtained on most farms,” said Mr
Sherwood. “Alfalfa leaves soaked in
sour milk are of great value. The
milk softens the leaves, and also fur.
nishes valuable food nutrients. It is
well for the farmer to plant winter

persons feed turnips, potatoes, and
even apples.

sirable that the sprouting be done in
the house because of the offensive
odor given off. This necessitates the
use of a special sprouter with heater,
and adds materially to the cost of the
feed.
REPAIRS FOR THE INCUBATOR
Time to Get Machine
Order—Removable Parts Should
Be Thoroughly Cleaned.
(By C. E. BROWN, Poultryman, North-
west Experiment Station)
In a few days many incubators will
be in operation. Whether the chicks
are to be hatched early in March or
not until the middle of April, it is time
to look after repairs and to get the
machine —in shape. Repairs for the
incubator may not be readily found.
If the incubator was neglected at the
close of last season, it should be thor-
oughly cleaned. Removable
should be taken out and washed and
the entire machine should be aired and
sunned. A 10 per cent solution of
zenoleum should be used as a disin-
fectant in washing the interior of the
machine.

Calves should have warm, clean,
light and well-ventilated pens. Milk
should be fed on regular amounts, at
regular times, at a temperature of |
about 80 degree F., from scrupulously |
clean pails. The foam which accum-
ulates on the milk while it is being
separated should never be fed.
The time to feed the grain ration is
immediately after the milk is fed, so
that the calves will not suck each oth-
er’s ears and thus take air into the
stomach, which causes bloat and pro-
duces scours.
It is well to have stanchions in one
side of the pen so that the calves may
be confined for a short time after be-
ing fed milk.
ROUGHAGES OF FARM
TURNED INTO MONEY
One of Chief Advantages in Keep-
ing Live Stock Is Utilizaticn
of Cheap Feeds.
(By C. A. WILLSON, Kentucky Experi-
ment Station.)
The chief advantage that would re-
sult from the keeping of live stock on
the majority of farms is that to a
large extent the returns would be ad- |
ditional to those realized when live |
stock was not kept. These returns
would be additional because live stock
would turn the roughages of the farm, |
that are now going to waste, into |
money. More than one-half the fod-
der in this state goes to waste every
year, For every head of cattle in the
state there are produced three acres
of corn, which will average one ton
of stover per acre. One and one-half
tons of stover is more than is needed
to winter one head of cattle. There is
going to waste, then, every year in
this state, 5,700,000 tons of ®rn stover,
which at a valuation of $5 per ton
means a loss to the farmers of the
state, through a lack of proper utili-
zation of feeds by cattle, of over $28,«
000,000.

also suitable for use in rations for

Marketing Dairy Cattle.
Dairy cattle can be marketed profit-
ably only in the following way—i. e.,
by vealing from thirty to forty days
old, or fed and sold as baby beef at
eighteen or twenty months old. A good
dairy cow will earn $40 or $50 more
every year than an average so-called

ken that the feathers are not soiled by

value.
After the bird is thoroughly cleaned, |
dip in cold water and allow it to re-
main two or three minutes. Leave
feathers on about half the neck next
to the head and also on the wings
above the first joint. Geese should be
marketed with the heads on and un-

a clean cloth or paper, place it on its
back and allow it to cool in that form.
Never hang a bird up by the feet or

ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest-
ment, .
Mr. Bare says that farm land at
home in Iowa is held at $150 per acre.
These lands are in a high state of cul-
tivation, with splendid improvements
in houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share ot
crop on a quarter section in Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breuking, gave him
35 per cent on the capital invested—
$25.00 an acre. The crop yield was
85 bushels per acre. This year the
same quarter-section. sown ta Red
Fife on stubble gave 3,286 bushels, His
share, 1,643 bushels of 1 Northern at
$1.56 per bushel, gave him $2,563.08,
Seed, half the twine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.00. Allow-
ing a share of the expense of his an-
nual inspection trip, charged to this
quarter-section even to $110.00, and he
has left $2,000.00, that is 50 per cent
of the original cost of the land. Any-
one can figure up that another aver-
age crop will pay, not 2 or 3 per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr. Barr says:
[ “That's no joke now.”
Mr. Barr was instrumental in bring-
ing a number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. H. Kerton, a tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought a quarter-
section of improved land at $32.00 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr. Barr asked him a
week ago: “Well, George, what shall
1 tell friends down home for you?”
The reply was: “Tell them I shall
never go back to be a tenant for any
man.” Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $18,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1¢ [5 and 1916.
Mr. Barr when at home devotes
most of his time to raising and deal-
ing in live stock. On his first visit of
inspection to Saskatchewan, he real-
ized the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. So his quarter-
sections, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm-
ers adjoining. His creed is: “Let na-
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall, take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market. There is money
in it.”—Advertisement.
