TURNING SILAGE INTO BEEF
It Cannot Be Considered as Substi
tute for Other Necessary Materi
als in Animal’s Ration.
The word “silage'' at one time sug
gested only brimming milk pails and
big milk checks. Nowadays it is as
well a big factor in putting the fin
ishing touches on choice sirloin beef.
Silos are common in the beef feed
ing sections of Wisconsin. The main
reason for feeding silage to beef cat
tle is economy of production. It can
not be considered as a substitute for
other necessary materials in the ra
tion, according to J. L. Tormey, Col
lege of Agriculture, University of Wis
consin, who gives a few suggestions
as to the feeding of silage for beef
production under local conditions.
“Clover or alfalfa hay should be
fed along with the silage in the win
ter. If clover or alfalfa hay is not
obtainable, use timothy or mixed hay.
In addition to the corn silage and hay
allowance, about three or four pounds
of cottonseed meal for each 1,000
pounds of live weight of the animal
should be fed daily.
“Two-year-old steers weighing about
1,000 pounds may be started on about
20 to 25 pounds of silage, 6 to 8 pounds
of clover or alfalfa hay, and 5 to 6
pounds of a mixture consisting of six
parts of corn to one part cottonseed
meal by weight daily. In a period
of two weeks the cattle may be
brought up to full rations, if care
fully watched. At this time they will
eat about 15 to 20 pounds of silage,
5 to G pounds of hay and 12 to 14
pounds of grain mixture daily.
“As cottonseed meal is rather high
priced this year, wheat bran or glu
ten feed may be used instead with al
most as good results and at a saving
In cost of production."
OIL ON THE TROUBLED HOGS
Solution of Dipping Problem Solved—
Much Added to the General Health
of the Animals.
Oiling hogs when and where the
hog desires has been found to be the
proper solution of the dipping prob
lem and adds much to the general
health of the hog. We have presented
several of these devices for oiling
hogs to our readers, all of which aro

being manufactured in increasing
numbers to meet the popular demand
for something of the kind. Here is
one that works on a little different
principle than the others. As the
hog rotates the barrel of tho cylindri
cal stem tho knobs hit tho trip and a
little oil is released to run down to
the hog's hide. The slope of and angle
at which the “post” stands makes it
possible for the hog to get oil on any
part of its body—top, bottom, sides or
ends.—Farming Business.
BUILDING DOG-PROOF FENCE
Most Economically Constructed by
Setting Posts Ten Feet Apart—
Put Barbed Wire First.
A dog-proof fence can be economic
ally built in the following manner:
Posts aro set ten to twelve feet apart
and a barbed wire is first staplod to
them right on the surface of the
ground. Three inches above this is
placed a panel of close-woven wire, 36
inches high, and about this two
strands of ordinary barbed wire. Care
should bo taken to see that there are
no openings between the ground and
tho lowest barbed wire. An inclosure
made in this manner, into which sheep
may be turned at night, is inexpensive,
and dogs will not go through it. Most
of the damage by dogs is done at
night.
New Feed for Stock.
Tho stock melon, which is a cross
between citron and watermelon, is
being fed to stock In the Kansas and
Oklahoma experiment stations for ex
perimental purposes. The fruit has
somewhat the appearance of a water
melon. The flesh is solid and lacks
sweetness.
Prevention Is Cheapest.
Have little bedding in the pen a1
farrowing. Wait until the pigs gel
large enough to take care of them
selves before bedding heavily. Havt
the pen dry and clean and keep ii
thus. Make liberal uso of tho well
known disinfectants. Prevention ii
cheaper than cure.

WEALTH IN STATE
STRAWBERRY CROP
Average Yield Per Acre is
Greater Than Any Other
Crop Produced in State.
It is said that the strawberry
crop in Arkansas this year will;
bring the farmers three-quart-!
ers of a million dollars.
This is a remarkable show-j
ing when it is considered that
the strawberry crop in Arkan
sas is produced on less than 2,
500 acres of land. The only j
counties in the state in which
strawberries are grown for |
market are White, Washington,
Crawford and Benton. This
year a small beginning has been
made in Independence and
Howard counties, but the acre
age and the yield in these coun
ties will be .-mall.
The latest government re
port shows that the number of
cars of strawberries handled
commercially in the entire Unit
ed States was 14,533, making a
total of 5,821,200 crates of ber
ries distributed in the markets
of the country.During the ship
ping season the berries are
worth $2 per crate as an aver
age,and the value of the srtaw
berry business over the coun
try is $11,642,000.
More of this wealth should
be brought to Arkansas, and
there is no reason why the far
mers of Independence county
should not share in this pros
perity. The strawberry is one
|of the most dependable fruit
j crops that can be grown in this
section. It brings cash to the
grower in early summer and
distributes wealth in the com
munity among pickers and oth
er laborers.
It is estimated that 6,000 or
7,000 pickers will be required
to harvest the crop in White
county alone. The crop around
Judsonia will yield from 350
to 100 cars, and as an averag
of 400 crates are placed in each
ar, it is seen that the Judsonia
district will ship about 160,000
crates. Estimated at $1.75 per
crate for the grower,the straw
berry business will bring to
Judsonia and vicinity about
$280,000.
Government reports show
that strawberries are the most
profitable (per acre) farm pro
duct that is produced in Ark
ansas.
An instance of this produc
tiveness is shown by the fact
that during the season of 1011
iH. E. Clark of Dectaur produc
ed on an acre of old land,20117
crates of berries which he sold
for $401.50.
The farmers around Newark
are neglecting a golden oppor
tunity in not getting strawber
ry culture i?i this community.

BETTER FARMING ||
HINTS e
II - II
BY .1. II. MILLER
II
FRESH COWS
It is very important that far
mers recognize the importance
of having cows freshen at a def
inite season, and why? The
cow that is kept primarily for
milk and butter production
should freshen in September
when it is easier to keep milk
and butter, and when butter
brings a better price. Cows that
are kept primarily for raising
calves for meat and that are
not milked should freshen in
March. Calves can run with
cows or pasture duringthe sum
mer and be ready for market
by November or December.
ROOT CROPS AND
PUMPKINS
In the campaign for more
feed for stock, farmers should
not neglect the root crops and
the pumpkins. A farmer near
Warren had over 500 bushels
of turnips last year from a sin
gle acre of rich land. Every
farmer who has even one cow
should have a patch of mangel
wurzels or turnips or carrots
and he should not fail to plant
a few pumpkin seeds in his
corn or along waste patches.
A pumpkin a day may keep
the sheriff away.
INFERTILE EGGS
Reports from county agents
indicate that we are to have
next month the greatest cam
paign for infertile eggs ever
put on in any state. Dealers,
bankers, farmers and women’s
clubs are interested and work
ing because it will mean more
satisfaction to the consumer
and more money for farmers
and dealers. Separate all roost
ers from the flock on May 1
and sell all that are not to be
kept for sale for breeding pur
poses during the week begin
ning May 8, and then be able
to sell after May 10 guaranteed
infertile eggs. All farmers who
will be able to do this are asked
to list their names with the
county agricultural agent. Swat
he rooster!
