time, but they are not found among
purchaHed grains or by-products.
There are two classes of cheap feed;;
to be secured for the coming winter-
silage and pastures, especially the
latter. All kinds of live stock make
use of pastures if the opportunity is
offered. Some kinds of live stock
make use of silage. The live stock
farmer expects to avoid an expensive
winter's feed bill must supply either
silage or pasture 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 ones. During June, July,
August, and September hundreds of
ilos were built in the state. During
August. September and October these
silos will be filled with various kinds
of silage crops and during this samn
time thousands of grazing crops stt
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 and all of
them should provide some kind of
fall, winter, and spring grazing. Var
ious kinds of crops may be used for
KTazing purposes. In the first place,
many of our farmers have failed t.o
appreciate the value of the old corn
and cotton fields, and these we have
with us always. As a result of this
neglect vast quantities of roughage are
wasted each year which should be
turned into meat and milk. The good
farmer allows none of these cheap
feeds to go to waste. We should not
only not allow the feeds usually pro
duced to go to waste, but just now an
effort Should be made to create new
feeds by putting many of our Idle
seres to work.
Under the direction of Mr. It. S.
Curtis, of the Animal Industry Divis
ion of the N. C. Agricultural Experi
ment Station, experiments have been
under way for several years to deter
mine the value of permanent winter
pastures in the western part of the
state. The "work has "been done in
co-operation with Mr. T. L. Gwyn of
Haywood County, a - prominent beet
aula raiser of that' section. Those
who know the agricultural conditions
of the western part of the state know
that one of the greatest problems is to
develop a system of farming which
will employ some of the lands lying
idle at the present time.
In these experiments the beef cat
tle carried through the winter upon
various rations and an accurate ac
count kept of the amounts and costs
of feeds of each winter together with
the gains made by the stockers. One
carload of stockers each winter was
fed upon ear corn, corn stover, hay
nd straw. A second Jot was fed upon
corn silage, corn stover, hay and
straw. A third car. of stockers was
fed during the winter months upoo
corn silage, corn stover, hay and
utraw, while a fourth lot was given
no feed at all except that obtained
from the winter pasture.
Mr. Gwyn made these winter pas
tures by first clearing the mountain
sides of the trees. A contract was
made with the mountaineers giving
them the free use of the land for two
years If they would deaden all of the
large trees, clear out the small brush,
and put the land ln cultivation, plant
ing corn each year. The second year
at the last cultivation of the corn a
mixture of 15 pounds of orchard grass,
4 pounds of blue grass, and 7 pounds
of timothy and clover were seeded
broadcast through the corn. The1
gras was permitted to grow through
the following summer without being
rraxed. It, of course, grew up and j
fell oyer thus protecting the roots:
during the cold months. V-vin?
tladea continued to come out ?--'ns
about $10.00 to feed each one of tho
dry-fed steers through the winter
months but the expense of getting the
pasture-fed steers through the same
length of time was just half as much,
even when each steer was charged
$1.00 a month rent for pasture.
Farmers 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
as hogs and poultry are concerned,
are pastures. Corn, wheat, oats and
other grain feeds and by-products are
nil unusually expensive unless fed in
conjunction with pastures. Many tern-1
porary pastures are suitable for both
hogs 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 the range lot
of hens produced 2651 eggs while the
hens in the dry lot produced only 314
eggs, although, they were fed 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
had the freedom of the farm and ob
tained green feed, bugs, and worms.
The range lot of hens returned a clear
profit of $41.02, while the flock of 32
hens in the dry lot suffered a total
loss of $33.66.
TEN POULTRY CLUB HINTS
"THAT STAND FOR SUCCESS
CLUB MEMBERS WHO FOLLOW
CLOSELY THEgE TEN RULES
SHOW GOOD REPORTS. ' v
1. Dust your hens just before set
ting and three days before they hatch.
2. xDo not feed chicks until they are
forty-eight hours old.
3. The first food for chicks should
be grit or sand; this will start their
grinding mill.
4. Later on, feed hard boiled eggs
and oatmeal, mixed together, or well
baked Johnnie cake or cornbread for
the first week.
6, Then feed a mixture of two parts
of cracked wheat, two parts of oat
flakes', and two parts of cracked corn,
or a good commercial chick feed
6. Keep clean water or milk before
the chlcks'at all times.
7. Clean the brood coops once a
week and examine the chicks careful
ly for lice.
8. Give the chicks the- best of car
and keep them growing.
9. Hatch early, rr-tnenfbering "that
the early bird gets the worm."
10. Under no circumstances sell the
early pullets; get rid of the early
cockerels.
