A bunch of hoga juat finishing a field of soybean*. Many farmers plant
enough to provide feed for their hoga long into the winter months. (Edge
combe Branch Experiment Station).
IJy DAN T. OKAY,
Chief, Animal Industry Division.
Farmers who have made proper use
of our Southern cheap feeda for live
stock will probably accept the title of
thla article In tho same way that the
man who visited the menagerie for
the first time accepted the reality of
the glraffo. After examining the
giraffe from the front, Hide find rear,
Hjid taking Into consideration his long
( jfE»and general ungalnlines*, he
said that he liq.d always believed that
there was "lib such animal" and he
was now. after seeing him, thoroughly
convinced that there was no auch
thing. In like manner farmers who
have never made use of our really
cheap feeds are apt to say. at the
pre«ent time, without an investiga-
Hon. that "there is no auch thing."
The doubting farmer, however, aa
well as the visitor to the menagerie,
I* mistaken, because there are cheap
live stock feeds oven at the present
time, but they are not found among
purchased grains or by-products.
There are two classes of cheap feeds
to be secured for the coming winter—
silage and pastures, especially the
latter. All kinds of live stock make
use of pasturea if the opportunity is
offered. Some kinds of live stock
make use of silage. The live stock
farmer expects to avoid an expensive
wintor'e feed bill must aupply either
allage or paature or both. If these
two feeds are to be provided the pre
liminary work must be done In
September.
There is plenty of evidence at hand
to show that our farmers are awake
to the fact that these two feeds are
our cheapest oncß. During Jung. July,
August, and September hundreds of
silos were built In the state. During
AugUßt, September and October theHe
silos will bo (Hied with various kinds
of silage crops and during thlß same
time thousands of grazing crops suit
able for fall, winter, and spring graz
ing will be sown.
The majority of farmers who keep
beef cattle and dairy cattle should
certainly provide _ a silo iand all of
them should provide some kind of
fall, winter, and spring grazing. Var
ious kinds of crops may be used for
grazing purpose*. In the flrnt place,
many of our farmers have failed to
appreciate the value of tho old corn
and cotton fields, and theae we have
with us always. As a result of this
neglect vast quantities of roughage are
wasted each year which Bhouid be
turned Into meat and milk.
farmer allowa none of theae cheap
feeds to go to waste. We should not
only not allow the feeds usuajjy pro
duced to go to waste, but Juat now an
effort should be made to create new
feed* by putting many of our Idle
acrea to work.
Under tho direction of Mr. R. 8.
Curtis, of the Animal Industry Divis
ion of tlfe N. C. Agricultural Expert
ment Station, experiments have been
under way for several years to deter-
Snilne the of T>elwnanent winter
pastures tin thb. wfsterti part of the
suite. "Mho done In
with Mr. T. L. Gwyn of
llaywood County, a prominent beef
cattle raiser of that section. Those
who know the agricultural conditions
of the western part of the state know
that ono of the greatest problems Is to
develop a syßtem of farming which
will employ Borne of tho lands lying
■idle at the present time.
In these experiment* the beef cat
tle carried through the winter upon
varlou* ration* and an accurate ac
count kept of the amount* and cost*
of feeds of each winter together with
the gain* made by the atockera. One
carload of stockers each winter was

Corn silage, corn stover, hay and
straw. A third car of stockers was
fed during tho winter months upon
corn silage, corn stover, hay and
straw, while n fourth lot wns given
no feed at all 'except that obtained
from tho winter pasture.
Mr. Gwyn made these winter pas
tureß by first clearing the mountain
sldea of tho trees. A contract was
made with the mountaineers giving
them the free use the land for two
years if they would deaden all of the

the early winter and spring months
furnishing considerable green feed
along with the cured graHs. During
the cold months the fourth lot of cattle
was permitted to run upon this left
over summer pasture receiving no
feed in addition to the paature except
a few days when everything was
deeply covered with snow.
Mr. Owyn has done, in making pas
tures, upon hi* farm what thousands
of others can do upon theirs and ob
tain equally satisfactory results.
In tho experiments referred to It
was found that the stockers grazing
upon the winter pasture did much bet
ter and were wintered much more
economically than those kept around
the barn and fed upon dry feeds. The
stockers which ate nothing but winter
pasture gained, during the winter,
tfrom 17 to 26 pounds each. The stock
ers which were fed upon ear corn, corn
silage and other stored feeds aU lost
In weight. On the average It cost
about SIO.OO to feed each one of the
dry-fed steerß through the winter
montha but ithe expense of getting the
pasture-fed steers through the same
length of time was Just half aa much,
even when each steer was charged
SI.OO j*- month rent for pasture.
Fanners raising hogs and poultry
should, by all means, during August
and September, take steps toward
providing cheap feeds for the winter.
The only available cheap feeds, as far
aa hoga and., poultry are concerned,
are pastures. Corn, wheat, oats and
other grain feeds and by-products are
all unusually expensive unless fed In
conjunction with pastures. Many tem
porary pastures are suitable for both
hoga and poultry. An acre of good
land planted In rape affords grazing
for five or six 100-pound fattening
pigs throughout the winter provided
a half ration of grain is employed as
a supplement. Or, one acre of good
rape should make from 300 to 500
pounds of pork. An acre of rye, oats,
barley or wheat will usually do Just
about half as well but In addition
will yield a partial crop after the
hogs are removed.
The value of pastures and range
conditions was emphasized again In
some poultry experiments conducted
at the Pender Test Farm during 1916.
One lot of Buff Plymouth Rock hens
was given the range of the farm where
many green crops were available the
year around. A second lot of hens
was confined in a dry lot and fed upon
dry and other high-priced feeds exclu
sively. During the year ttie range lot
of hens produced 2661 eggs.while the
(hens In tho dry lot produced only 314
eggs, although', 'they' Word ted about
as well as could be expected under
dry-lot conditions. The hens in the
two lots were fed exactly the same
feeds except those in the range lot

tained green feed, bugs, and tfprms.
The ratige lot of hens returned a clear
profit of, $41.02, while the flock of 32

loss of 33.66.

NORANCE CAUSE MOST
ACCIDENTB.
Statistics complied by one of the
leading life insurance companies of
America show that In the United
States during the year 1916 there were
''approximately 34,000 fatal accidents;
600,000 serious injuries, and 4,000,000
other Injuries. These figures alone are
appalling, but when It Is known that
approximately ninety per cent of these
accidents were preventable the realiza
tion begins to dawn on on* that an
awful toll of life and limb is being
paid to grim "accidents," and the time
has come when some step should be
taken toward eliminating this need
less human suffering.
Of this enormous number of acci
dents over one-half have been classi
fied as "industrial" accidents or acci
dents occurring tQ employes of the
manufacturing Industries and public
•ervtce corporation* throughout the
country.
Of the great number of Industrial
accidents possibly 50% could havs
been avoided If workmen had not been
careless. Another 26% could readily
be attributed to "thoughtlessness"
while an additional 16% was caused
by "undue hasts" and "Ignorance,"
thus leaving only about 10% due to
unavoidable and unpreventable acci
dents.
Investigation of accidents reported
during the past five months has re
vealed the fact that the greater part
cf these accidents could have been pre
vented. Disobedience of orders, wil
ful neglect, carelessness and bad prac
tices are factors in a large majority
of rases, and Inasmuch as untold suf
fering and a great economic loss are
occasioned by these factors, It might
be worth while to cite a few accidents
which bsve occurred In order to show
to whst extent care and thoughtfal
ness are needed to reduce this awful
toll which Is being exacted u the price
of carelessness and Ignorance.
The following are a few typical
cases In which the above mentioned
factors caused the aqMStoits and rep

could easily be prevented if every

Present Indications, according to
Mr. Kltchln, are that 119.000,000.000

about $7,000,000,000 for loans to the
allies, $3,000,000,000 of which already

current expenses, exclusive of war,

expenses. Included in the war estl-
mtU la 1178,000,000 for the new In
atirance bill and 91.000,000,000 for the
