STRAW FOR FEEDING CATTLE
Indiana Experiment Station Conducted
Experiment to Test ValueVa
rious Rations Given.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In an experiment conducted at. the
Indiana experiment station to test the
feeding value of oat straw it was found
that a ration of corn silage, corn, and
cottonseed "meal was Just as valuable
Superior Beef Type.
for economy and extent of gains when
used with oat straw as when fed with
clover hay. As such a ration is exten
sively used In various parts of the
United States Its practical value can
readily be seen. Straw and stover are
especially valuable for the winterisg
of breeding herds of beef cattle, and
should form a large part of their feed.
Rations suitable for different classes
of beef cattle are as follows:
Rations .for Breeding Cows.
Ration J:
Straw, 10 pounds.
Silage, 20 pounds.
Cottonseed or linseed meal, 1 pound.
Ration 2:
Straw. 20 pounds.
Cottonseed or oil cake, 2 pounds.
Ration 3:
Strav, 10 pounds.
Shock corn, 1i pounds.
Cottonseed meal or linseed meal, 1
pound.
Ration 4:
Stover, 33 pounds.
Cottonseed or linseed oil meal, 1
pound.
Rations for Feedinq 1,000-Pound Fat.
tening teers.
Ration 1:
Straw, B pounds.
Silage, 18 pounds.
Corn, 12 pounds.
Ration 2:
Straw, 8 pounds.
Legume hay, 6 pounds.
Cottonseed cake or Unseed cake, 5
pounds.
Ration 3:
Stover, 10 pounds.
Silage, 15 pounds.
Corn, 12 pounds.
Ration 4r
Straw, 6 pounds.
Stover, 15 pounds.
Corn. 6 pounds.
Cottonseed meal, 3 pounds.
In these rations various other feeds
iy be substituted. In the rations
given for wintering breeding cows defi
nite quantities of straw and stover
are given. In actual feeding such fig
ures should be somewhat disregarded
and the cattle given as much roughage
as they will consume.
Yearlings may b fed three-fourths
the ration for breeding cows and may
be expected to come through the win
ter In fair to good condition.
For fattening animals straw should
always be within reach so that the ani
mal may eat at will. They will usually
eat from three to five pounds daily.

Examine Them Carefully Whether on
Pasture or in Barn Keep Toes
Properly Trimmed.
Look frequently at the feet of the
colts, whether on the pasture or In
the barn, and remedy things before
they get bad. Keep the toes trimmed
down to the proper length and do not
allow the heels to run over and get
round. If the feet are kept rounded
on the toe and of the proper length,
the tendency to split and crack will be
reduced to a minimum. In the stable
the feet should be frequently cleaned
and trimmed and the frog kept In Its
proper shape.
SOUND ROUGHAGE FOR SHEEP
If Carefully Fd and Pastured Alfalfa
Is Excellent for All Classes
of Live Stock.
Alfalfa, if carefully fed and pas
tured. Is one of the best roughages
for sheep. The rapid Increase In the
production of alfalfa In the United
States during recent years has resulted
In a more careful study of Its possi
bilities as a food for all classes of live
stock. Formerly It was used primarily
as a cattle feed, but now It Is used as
a feed for horse?, swine and sheep.

SIRUPS AND. HONEY BY PARCEL POST
i
v .-. .v.v.sw.v.W'N.:....
These Containers Can Carry Sirups and Honey in the Mails Long Distances,
the Bureau of Markets Learned.
LIQUID SWEETS
BY PARCEL POST
Average Distance 654 Miles in
Experimental Shipments by
Bureau of Markets.
LOSS IN THREE SHIPMENTS
Tin Containers With Screw Cap Found
Satisfactory for Sirups and Honey
Urge Only High-Grade Prod
ucts Be Shipped.
Producers and consumers may find
it to their advantage to use the parcel
post for marketing sirups and extract
ed honey, according to a statement
from the bureau of markets, United
States department of agriculture. Ex
perimental shipments of maple, cane,
sorghum sirups, and extracted honey,
made from many parts of the country
over many different mall routes, have
shown the possibilities of marketing
these products by parcel post. A total
of 394 trial shipments were made over
distances averaging 654 miles, a much
greater distance, It is pointed out, than
sirups are likely to be sent by mall.
Of these shipments only three showed
any material loss of contents because
of seepage or leakage and this was due
to unusually rough handling.
Tin Containers Used.
Two types of tin containers were
found satisfactory for parcel post ship
ments of sirups and honey. Both
types have screw caps and are pro
vided with outer cartons of corrugated
paper board. The screw caps contain
snugly fitting pieces of cork that cover
the opening In the cans when the screw
caps are properly closed. As a protec
tion to the screw caps, squares of cor
rugated paper board are placed on top
of the cans beside the screw caps.
Such packages properly wrapped and
securely tied, marked "fragile" as re
quired by the postal regulations for
packages containing liquids, will carry
without danger of leakage In the malls.
High Cost of Containers.
While the cost of containers Is high
at the present time, there are doubtless
many cases In which parcel post mar
keting would be desirable and economi
cal, as sirups and extracted honey are
good substitutes for sugar. Sugges
tions on obtaining customers and con
ducting business with them by parcel
post may be found In Farmers Bulletin
922. "E'arcel Post Business Methods."
In order to retain customers, say the
specialists, It Is necessary that only
high-grade products be shipped, as the
principal incentive to buying by parcel
post Is to obtain products of high
quality. Persons desiring further par
ticulars In regard to shipping sirups
and extracted honey by parcel post
may apply to the bureau of markets,

Care Makes Bees Efficient.
Because of lack of attention fully
half the bees now kept In the United
States are virtually useless to their
owners and consequently beekeeping Is
often condemned as unprofitable. Prob
ably In an average season for the
United States as a whole the surplus
honey obtained by good beekeepers
scarcely will exceed 50 pounds to the
colony. Assuming that 400 pwunds Is
the average needed bv a hive to main
tain its existence during the year, this
50-pound surplus represents then only
one-ninth af the nectar gathered by the
bees. In such an average season an
apiary of 100 colonies may gather nec
tar equivalent to 22 tons of honey
where the "honey crop" or surplus
honey will be only 2 tons. That 100
colonies of bees can find nectar suffi
cient to make 22 tons of honey with
in a range of about two miles gives
some Idea of the amount of sugar avail
able In the form of nectar. This
amount doubtless Is much below the
actual sugar at hand, for when nectar
Is flowing freely bees do not get It nil.
Furthermore, In many places more
than 50 pounds of surplus are obtained
and often more than 100 colonies can
be kept profitably In one place.
In the face of these facts It Is regret
table to find so many beekeepers who
fall to get even the small percentage
which belongs to the beekeeper. There
are parts of the United States where
90 per cent of all colonies of bees are
In hollow logs or plain square boxes
In which combs of bees cannot be
handled. There are few parts of the
country where the box hive Is not
found and probably one-third of all the
bees In the country are so housed. In
this case both equipment and manage
ment are poor and the energy of the
bees is misdirected. Even of those
who keep their bees in modern hives
of movable frames the vast majority
do not get the full crop. By falling
to control swarming by providing In
sufficient room for storage or by lack
of proper care In winter their crop
Is often reduced one-half or more.
HOW MANY FARMERS
ARE CO-OPERATING
Farmers' co-operative purchas
ing and marketing associations
now number about 14,000 with
about two million members and
do an annual business estimated
at one and one-ihalf billion dol
lars. On the basis of the value
c of products handled the elevator
t associations lead, followed in or-
der by fruit and produce organl-
js zatlons. and creameries and
$j cheese factories.
Community Kitchens Canned.
Community kitchens, where surplus
vegetables and fruits are canned un
der co-operative arrangements, were
operated last year In Ohio, Pleasants.
Kenawha, Jefferson, and, to some ex
tent, in other counties of West Vir
ginia. The kitchens were supervised
by the home demonstration agents of
the extension division of the stat
university.
In the city of Charleston, where a
kitchen was opened In July, the num
ber who brought products to be can
ned Increased from 56 women during
the second week to several times thai
number In a short time.
Supplementing the work of the
Charleston kitchen are about 15 vol
unteer women who, under the super
vision of the home demonstration
agent of Kanawaha county, established
temporary field kitchens In the ru,-nl
communities, to which the worn on
bring their surplus vegetables and
fruits.
As a result of this effort, large quan
tities of food were conserved, much of
which would otherwise have been
wasted.

A Business Should be
as Big as Its Job
If bigness is of benefit to the
public it should be commended.
The size of a business depends upon the
needs which that business is called upon to
serve. A business should be as big as its
job. You do not drive tacks with a pile
driver or piles with a tack-hammer.
Swift & Company's growth has been
the natural and inevitable result of na
tional and international needs.
Large-scale production and distribution
are necessary to convert the live stock of
the West into meat and by-products, and
to distribute them over long distances to
the consuming centers of the East and
abroad.
Only an organization like that of Swift &
Company, with its many packing plants, hun
dreds of distributing houses, and thousands
of refrigerator cars, would have been able to
handle the varying seasonal supplies of live
stock and meet the present war emergency
by supplying, without interruption:
First The U. S. soldiers and the Allies
in Europe by shipping as much as 800 car
loads of meat products in a single week!
Second The cantonments in the United
States.
Third The retailers upon whom the
American public depends for its daily
supply of meat.
But many people ask Do producers and
consumers pay too much for the complex
service rendered?
Everyone, we believe, concedes the effi
ciency of the Swift Ac Company organization
in performing a big job in a big way at a
minimum of expense.
Swift & Company's total profit in 1917 was
less than 4 cents on each dollar of sales of
meat and by-products. Elimination of this
profit would have had practically no effect on
live stock and meat prices.
Do you believe that this service can be
rendered for less by any other conceivable
method of organization or operation?
