He evidently thought Satan wa» crawling about somewhere.” ViiY - [MONA MAOrlNEEfl WEDNESDAY A fO SATURDAY John Golden Will I-Kicni THE PLAY THAT BROKE THE WORLD'S RECORD |Important branchof American agrf- i culture, i 5 The bureau of animal Industry, United States Department of Agricul­ ture, 1ms recently issued Farmer’s Bulletin No. 1218, “Beef Production in the Corn Bolt,” which coritnins valu­ able suggestions to the cofn belt feed­ ers on the economical production of beef.. The Investigations on which the bul­ letin Is based were conducted by tire department on txp farms of .the corn belt and .every phase of the problem, from raising calves or buying feeders I to the marketing of the finished steer, j Is treated In considerable detilll. j The general tendency in the, corn *■ belt to plow up permanent pastures and produce more cultivated -crops caused a decline in beef raising, but the keeping of cows to raise calves has. continued to '-be profitable on f land too rough, too wet, or too in- ' fertile /or cultivation. The reduction Jit pasture has been compensated for to some extent by the greater use of UNover, alfalfa, and corn-silage. How­ ever, since mn there has heen some increase in feeder production in the corn belt due to the brenktng up of western ranges for dry farming and Irrigation, Tlio Investigation, which was car­ ried on for three years, showed that the. feed cost of keeping a cow was dp per cent of the entire cost of main­ tenance for a year, while 81 per cent represented interest, .’ahor, equipment and incidentals. The total number of cows on the 906 farms was 23,238, an average of 23 to the farm. The per; cent of* calves raised Was practically SJS, It wn«p tcvuaut Hint a x e tv coubt hi* reduced through .three factors—in­ creasing tUts credits from the cows, improving the herd, and economy in feeding. Early Fall Buying of Feeder-* Best. When feeders, are not raised on the farm buying and selling ability plnys an Important part. In some seasons certain weights and classes of cattle may he purchased more economically than others. Ordinarily early fail buy­ ing Is preferable, ns competition be- tween packers and feeders usually In­ creases as winter approaches. The higher the quality of the feeder steer the better use he will make of 111 * feed, though he usually eat# more of It.- But Oils consideration should not cause the buyer to loso sight of the price. Fleshy feeders can often be used to advantage on short feeds, and when there are very good prospects for higher prices. The older the ani­ mal the quicker it will fatten, ns it will use less feed for growth and more, for fat production. Mature feeders fatten in three to four months! two-year-olds,. In 5 to 7 months, yearlings in eight to tell months, and‘calves in ten to twelve months. Older cattle use roughages more advantageously, but In general young animals make more economical use of all feeds. Mature cattle re­ quire from nine to eleven pounds of digestible nutrients to make a pound of gain, whereas yearlings use six to eight pounds, and calves only four, to six pounds. 1 Feeding cattle for the market is simply one method of marketing the crops. On 28f farms in the com belt an average of 35 per cent of the 1019 crops was fed to cattle. Fully 90 per cent of the fattened cattie in this area are dry-lot fed and are marketed before July 1. The various methods of feeding nnrl the feeds used nrc fully discussed 1» the bulletin. Feed Alfalfa and Clover Hay. Alfalfa and clover hay are by far the most popular dry roughages, as they take tho place of commercial protein concentrates to , large extent. Grass hays, with the exception of timothy mixed with clover, are very little used. The use ,of Stovers and straws has a direct bearing on the economy of gains, and all such feeds should be used on the farm. The most popular protein concen­ trates in the corn belt are cottonseed meal and cake and linseed meal. Corn, oats, and barley arc the carbohydrate concentrates most used. Molasses feed and other miscellaneous con­ centrate# are In much demand in shine sections. Supplying protein is of more concern to the cattle feeder than sup- plying the other constituents of the Gras*, With. Corn as a Supplement ration because It la usually purchased. Cottonseed meal, while it is used more extensively throughout the corn belt as a whole, is no more popular than linseed meal. Most cattle feed- era prefer linseed meal, but it is not used so largely owing to its some­ what higher cost Com makes up 90 per cent of" the carbohydrate concen­ trates. Oats are frequently used in tilts latter part of the feeding period to put cattle in, better shipping condi­ tion. Barley Is used only In a small Way, although in Illinois it made ,up 10 pSr ceu*- of the grain ration, Purchase Price I* Htflf of Cost In 'fattening i steer .the combined operating expenses usually mpre than equal the original purchase price of the feeder. The factors considered In operating expenses are feed, labor, building and equipment, interest, mar­ keting, insurance anil taxes. Feed usually constitutes about 80 per cent of this expensp. All the other Items are generally balanced by the manure and porir credits. Tho preceding paragraphs are a very brief outline of the Investigation of beef' production In the com belt.

Although more expensive at the out- • set, creosoted posts are generally more economical to use than many binds of untreated, short-lived woods, be­ cause of tlielr much greater lasting qualities, the forest service of the United States Hepnftmenir o£-Agrieul- ture has determined. The exceptions would be. In remote' localities w! . cheap wood and labor, and where it would be expensive to ol latn creosote. The large saving In the replacement charges, which ordinarily mount up so high in maintaining tv fence, and the use of cheap find inferior kinds of woods In the first place, much more than offset Hie increased cost of thorough treatment with creosote. Treateil.posts ate a good Investment, and their use where lasting woods are scarce or expensive is a sign of sound judgment in farm management The best treatment Is that which results in the deepest penetration into the wood with the least absorption of creosote. The butts of the posts should be placed for One to two hours in creosote heated to a temperature of 180 degrees to 220 degrees' F, It Is Important to treat the wood to a height of a foot above tho proposed ground line. In the southern states the entire post should then be submerged Into Oil, at 80 degrees.to 100 degrees B<, for one or two hours, or for such a time ns is necessary to get good penetra­ tion; In the North, where decay is les3 rapid, the hot treatment is ap­ plied only to the butts, which are allowed to remain for iwo or three hours in the coolltig process, tho tops being treated by painting or dipping in creosote.
