Profit to Owners
of Purebred Bulls
Cattlemen of McCurtnin county. Ok
lahoma, us a result of the eradication
of the cattle tick, expect to receive
through the use of purebred hulls
more than double their usual returns
on the sale of spring calves, according
to Shawnee ttrown. county agrlcul
tural agent. On two different occa
?dons since lirjs when this county was
freed of the ticks, the cattlemen vis
I ted sections where purebred beef
cattle were raised and purchased a
total o( 40 purebred bulls.
The Introduction of these valuable
purebreds would not have been prac
j lical wiiiie the fai-fiit> weiv In
, fested with ticks In August. 1931. the
I county contained more than 2.tM10
calves sired by the purebred bulls
that had been bred to native and
j grade cows.
The increased value of these grade
calves as compared to calves sired by
scrub hulls Is shown hv the prlres re
reived b\ two neighboring slockmcn
One had scrub calves for which be re
? celved SHI'.H :i head while the other
! bad urade calves which brought an
average of *"o to ftoth" lots of calves
i were from scrub rows As those crude i
calves wore typical of the 2.000 snrlnp J
calves In the county, it is estimated
that they jire worth close to $IO.(hki j
, more to their owners than if scrub
bulls had been usod Instead of pure
j hreds. This is more than double the |
| returns ordinarily received from the J
| same number of calves sired by scrub j

M (Curtain county has its own live
stock association which aims, during |
the next five years, to continue to In j
j crease the quality of all the beef cat 1
j tie in the county through the further
, us?' of purebred sires.
Wheat's Value as Feed
Many live stock feeders can make
the best of a bad situation this year
by feeding cheap wheat. As one cat- !
tleoinn has put it. "No matter how low !
grain prices go. wheat Is always worth j
40 rents a bushel as feed."
Wheat as a feed for In gs equals or I
slightly excels com. pound for pound,
says Wallace's Farmer. It is 00 to 100
per cent as valuable as corn for cattle
and lambs. It is not quite as palat
able as corn for cattle and lambs, hut
hops eat it very willingly In order to |
provide variety. It Is wise to feed |
wheat in combination with other
grain s.
The one Important thing to keep In
mind Is that wheat must be coarsely
ground for best results, except in the
case of lambs. Fine grinding produces
n floury mass that sticks in the ani
mals' teeth. Unsatisfactory results
from feeding this grain usually have
been due to poor quality wheat or to
Improper methods of feeding.

Proof of Value of
Good Sires.
Silage Needs Water
It is essential in filling a trench silo
to add plenty of water throughout the
process says G. E. Martin of the Mis
souri College of Agriculture. Wetting
the edges is of special importance It
the silage is put against dry earth,
since the earth will absorb some ol
the juices from the silage and molding
will result If there is not enough
water present. A good plan to insure
plenty of wr.ter is to add water to all
the silage as it is being placed, then
l brow generous quantities along the
edges at Intervals. If the excess ot
water is used, it will he absorbed ny
the dry earth and leave the silage

This Pit Saves Manure
No manure goes to waste on the C.
E. Jarnes farm. Piatt county. Illinois.
Years ago Mr. James concreted his
barn lots and an open shed that is
used as shelter for young stock. In
one corner of the lot toward which
the remainder of the yards sloped he
built :i basin 8 inches deep with ^.op
ing sides as a manure pit. This saves
all liquids as well as solids Mr. James
believes the liquid manure may often
contain fertility elements that are Just
as important as the solids. The yards
may be cleaned by taking a team and
scraper and pulling the manure into
the pit. ? Capper's Farmer.
Bees Sold in Packages
"Packages" of live and very active
bees are being sold for use by or
rhadists. sometimes being shipped long
distances by express or mail, accord
ing to the Department of Agriculture.
It seems the natural supply of bees
and insects is Insufficient In some
places to care for the necessary polli
nation and "packaged" bees have
been developed for this purpose. Pees
are placed in small boxes by bee
keepers and the orchards has only
to set the package in the oi.uard and
pull the cork from the box. The bees
do the rest
