INCREASE SHORT-FED CATTLE
To Save Feed, Department of Agricul
ture Against Too High
Finishing of Animals.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In view of the unfortunate experi
ftice lust winter of Dome feeders of
heavy cuttle, the continued high price
3t jrrnln and the uncertainty of a con
tlnuatlon of good prices which well
'ln I shed heavy carcasses now command,
the United States department of agri
culture believes that feeders should
•oncentrate their efforts 011 the produc
tion of economically short-fed cattle,
(if course, this statement does not re
fer to baby-beef production, which Is a
specialty within Itself.
There Is no question that for the
last several years cattle feeders have
been milking beef too fat; that I*.
they have put more finish upon the
(inlmnls than economy would Justify.
I'lils Idea was evidently In the mlnda
:>f the advisory committee of agri
cultural and Itvc stock producer* ap
pointed by the department of agricul
ture and the food administration when
that committee recently made the fol
lowing recommendation:
"We feel that cattle marketed at
(lie present time In class 4 (long-fed
or export and highly finished cattle),
and known ns 'exports,' owing to the
high costs of labor and feed, are not an
economical product, and their produc
tion should not be encouraged."
Not only bus the advisory commit
tee thus warned against the heavy
feeding of cattle, but It Is ulso under
stood that the government officials dl
ri-ctlng the buying policies of the gov
ernment will not consider themselves
responsible for the price* of very fat
cattle.
ltecent experiences by various state
experiment stations and the United
Htntes department of agriculture have
borne out the fuct that good beef can
be produced by using a relatively
* .-j; '' V
■»
smnll amount of gmln, or wlthAdtrof-
MIOUS concentrate* In connection with
silage and some other qtieap roughage
In the form of hay.
The principle that *houid be avoided
In future feeding operations, accord
ing to the aflvlce of the department of
agriculture, It to reduce to a minimum
the amount of hlgh-piiced fewl and to
make Judicious u*e of cheap rough
age*. In other word*. Instead of feed
ing from W) to 00 bushel* of dry corn
per steer In the long feeding period, as
was (lie custom In the prfkt, the quan
tity should he, and may be profitably,
reduced to 15 10 IS) bushel* In a short
er feeding period, or the dry corn grain
can be eliminated altogether, ai the
liberal u*o of good quality silage will
furnish an excellent ration. The use
of rotton*ced meal, linseed meat or
other protein-rich feed, even though
high in price, is to Re highly recom
mended, because the higher other feeds
are. the more profitable becomes the
use of a protein supplement. Expen
sive hay may be completely eliminated
in fbe ration by tHe use of a cheaper 1
dry roughage such as corn stovar.
coarse hay or straw.
The department believes that by
avoiding too heavy feeding and too
high finish, and by following the sug
gestions given above, feeder* should
be able to feed cattle at u profit In
spite of the high prices of feed and
labor. The recent statement of the
United State* food administrator, and
the available reports from foreign
countries. Indicate that there may be
a great increase In the demand for
beef, which is encouraging to the cattle
feeders of thl* country, and especially
those who suffered losses during tha
past feeding season.

PRACTICAL CLEAN-UP DAY
How the People of an lowa Town Im
proved the Roads Leading Into
the Place.
In Farm and Fireside a writer
says:
"Whetl the town of Mitebellvllle,
la., with n population of 900, decid
ed on a general clean-up, a woman
arose In meeting nnd promised the
help of the women In every way pos
sible. She suggested that perhaps
about all they could do would be to
cook a xilcnlc dinner. Whereupon one
man arose and gave It as his opinion
that inasmuch as lowa was in a fair
way to have equal suffrage shortly
and the Slitchellvllle women had beeft
Insistent upon It, he, for one, thought
the women ought to work alongside
the men on clean-up (Jay. And work
they did!
"Willie other towns were content,
on such occasions, to remove the un
sightly ash heaps that disfigured back
yards nnd otherwise make more pre
sentable the general municipal ap
pearance, the Mltchellvllle workers
decided there was no reason why every
able-bodied man and woman should
"not put In ten good, solid hours' work
on the roads lending Into the town.
"Roads, they argued, were a coun
try town's principal asset, as with
out them the country trade, which
kept the town prosperous, was not
forthcoming. What if there were
an ash herfp left at night, would It
not be ludter to have a few mjles
of good /indway all completed, so the
farmers could come In with produce
and go back with their wagons and
automobiles filled with aH sorts of
store goods?
" "So men nnd women alike of
Mttchellvllle woriced all day ■ long,
though the sun was hot nnd the work
wns harJ. Today the Mltchellvllle
speedway, six miles long. Is a monu
ment to the efforts of the men and
women of Mltchellvllle who decided
that a clean-up day should mean some
thing more than Just idle talk and
newspaper publicity."
ADDED TO NATION'S WEALTH
Home Gardens Have Been of Great
Benefit Both to the Country and
to Commodities.
The campaign so persistently con
ducted Inst spring and summer to en
list families In the home garden move
ment can be said to have been an ex
traordinary success. The estimate that
$850,000,000 worth of produce has been
raised in war gardens in the United
States this year anil that housewives
have cunfied at least 400,000,000 Jars
of vegetables and fruits Is Impressive.
The figures, of course,"cannot be any
where near exact, but there cnTl be no
question that the total amount of food
stuffs produced lias been enormous,
and tliey are probably not excessive.
All of It was a clear addition to the
Wealth and resources of the nation.
Thus, labor n land that had for
merly gone unused brought practi
cal benefit to the laborer and the na
tion. The Investment has paid so
well that It ought to be repeated on
a more extensive scale next year. Hun
dreds of families who never had a gar
den before have enjoyed fresl# vege
tables from their home yards this sum
mer. Many of them have learned some
thing of the art of gardening and have
become keenly Interested in it. AH
have benefited physically from inter
esting work in the open air.
These need not be advised to plan
for a bigger garden next year. But
those who, through procrastination and
Indolence, failed to realize the profits
of gardening this year should start
making plans for next spring now.
Garden Sprinkling Harmful.
Watering a plant or a garden space
by" sprinkling is usually more harmful
tlian helpful, inasmuch as It induces
the growth, lip In the moistened area,
of flue feeding rootlets that should be
deep in the ground, says Woman's
Home Companion. These, reaching In
a network near the surface for the
moisture, find themselves exposed tu.
the fierce and baking heat of midsum
mer whenever the. moisture dries out,
and dry out It Will. They are unable
to bear this scorching, being extremely
tender and dismantling cool earth
around thwn, and the result is either
dentil to the plant or so weakened and
miserable a condition that It might us
well die.
This surface watering by a hose or
hand bears no relation, of course, to
a thorough saturation as a system, of
irrigation makes lsisslble. ISut unless
such a system Is lustailed, I would
urge every gardener In the country to
pin his faith to the cultivator and his
own Industry therewith, rathe- than
to any method of watering by huiid.
Certain thlnjrs may be "watered In"
When transplanting; but otherwise,
eschew the hose and watering can.
Corpus Christ! Philosophy.

For the present season wool has

sion must be made for the guarding or
fenelng-ln of the flock, for not only are
the animals prone to stray from home
pastures, but they are favorite prey
for dogs, which annually Inflict great
losses on the industry. Winter care
must be provided for, and feed and
sheltered quarters must be available
In cold weather. Persons who desire
to raise sheep are advised to enter the
Industry with a view of staying for
several years at least. The useful life
of a sheep Is about six years.
