(Prepared by th United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) No firming people have ever been able economically to maintain the fer tility of their soils without the use of live stock. Farming without the use of manures Is a waste of energy and results in the exhaustion of soils. The neglect In preserving and Increasing the quantity of farm manures has been a great drain on the natural re iources of the American farm, espe cially in the southern portion of the United States. The lack of intelligent care of the waste products and the convenient form of commercial fertil izers hate Jointly been responsible tor the almost general neglect of larm manures. Value of Fertilizers. Commercial fertilizers hare played and will continue to play a great part In the farm economy of the country. Their full value, however, cannot be obtained by their exclusive use. A much greater value can be had from them when used wisely in connection with manure and green crops. One of the principal reasons for the. small value sometimes realized from manure of any kind is that It has not been properly handled and through expo sure and neglect has lost a large per centage of its plant food. The chief difference between barnyard manure and other vegetable matter is that the nroeess of Dasslne through the animal has rendered the fertilizing elements nf th former more available for nb- r,nn in innt trrowth. The best authorities tell us that from 75 to 90 per cent of the fertilizing value of a CAREFULLY LOOK OVER SEED Corn Should B Graded Before It Is Shelled to Secure Uniformity In 8lz and Shape. (Prepared ky th United States Depart nent ( Agriculture.) Shelled corn is not easily graded and all seed corn should therefore be looked over carefully before the ears are shelled. The grading is done to secure uniiormuj oi oio In each lot of kernels, so that they will be dropped evenly from the corn-planter when it Is set for special lots of If the seed ears vary as to size of kernel they should be separated into two or three grades, according to the type of grain they bear. These grades should be shelled separately always by hand and not by a mechanical shell er and then tested In the corn plant 0 AftPr flndlne the numbers on the planter plates which dropr the kernels ini.tnlw ench lot should be numbered with corresponding figures. All this should be done when work Is slaek In the winter and before the spring rush begins. Be sure there is enough for two years' planting. Tou may need It your self If the first planting is urunu out; and there never was a time when there was not a demand for seed corn known to be good. imnortance to protect the manure eup' ni from leachlne by rains or from " other sources of loss. Loss by Leaching. The Cornell University experiment station found that as much as 50 per cent of the plantfood constituents in manure was lost by leaching and un necessary fermentation. The problem is how best and most economically to prevent this loss. The best plan where it Is practicable Is to haul eut tne raa nure regularly, spread it upon the land, and plow It under. The best results are usually obtained by turning under shallow. The next best plan Is to keep the stock under sheds or In stables with sufficient litter to absorb all liq uids. This treatment will not only take up moisture but the continual trampling of the animal will exclude all air, so that the accumulation may bo on without injury to Its quality un til a convenient time to remove and spread It on the land. The litter or waste matter used for bedding not only serves its purpose In helping to preserve the manure, but adds consid erably to It. When neither of these plans can be advantageously used, a cheap shed conveniently located may be subsist ed and all manure carried to it as re moved. Care must be taken to prevent heating, which Is especially liable to happen when horse manure predoml nates. This can be remedied by add ing water when needed. FEEDING SILAGE TO STOCK No Better or More Economical Feed as Roughage for Finished Stock for Market. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) As a roughage for finished stock there is no better or more economical feed than silage for It produces largo dally gains and aids in keeping the animals in a healthy condition so tnai they can handle other feeds more ef fectively. An advantage in feeding silage to beef cattle that Is often over looked, is that it enables the feeder to carry his stock for a long time so as to pass over a period of depression in the market. Silase also can be profitably used to supplement pastures for steers during a time of drought, when they are be ing finished for market For many years the belief was gen eral that cattle which received silage ns a major portion of the roughage would have to be kept in warm barns and not exposed to the cold. While they do need protection from the cold winds and rains and need a dry place to lie down, it has been clearly demon strated that warm barns are not only unnecessary, but that fattened cattle make both larger and cheaper gains when fed In the open sheds tnan when confined In barns. Stocker or thin cat tle receiving silage will, of course, need more protection than animals which are being fattened. The theory that sllage-fed cattle shrink very heavily In shipping to mar ket is erroneous. While the actual shrinkage during transit Is sometimes greater, the fill taken at market is usually good, and if good judgment is used in preparing them for shipping the net ehrinkage is no greater than for cattle which have been fed on dry feeds. For SO hours previous to ship ping nice bright hay and stover should be substituted for the silage In the ration. The general Impression that choice or prime carcasses cannot be made by the use of succulent feed Is equally untrue, as the sllage-fed cattle usually make more desirable carcasses than cattle fed a similar ration, except that silage was replaced by one of the coarse fodders.

Work to develop cheese manufac ture in the Western states, begun in July, 1916, has resulted in 12 new cheese factories, says the annual re nort of the Bureau of Animal Indus try. United States department of agri culture. Improvement of the milk sup ply produced a better quality of cheese and greater yields. One factory re ported that the improvement of the milk supply alone increased the net income of cheese at least ?3,U0W a year. Possibilities for expansion of cheese work In the West are said to De al most limitless, but no effort is being made to encourage the establishment of factories where there are not cows enough or where other circumstances prevent successful operations.

DON'T DISTURB LAYING HENS Undus Excitement In Poultry House Is Bound to Reduce Egg Yield of Young Fowls. It pays to be quiet and careful In the houses containing laying hens, es pecially If they are pullets from the range which have Just commenced to lay. Strangers that visit poultry plants should realize that undue excitement is bound to reduce the egg yield and make every effort not to frighten the birds by sudden movements. A strange child running through a poultry house will frighten the hens and serlonsly reduje the laylflgJ!or that day. Superior Beef Type. difference in the percentage of market able meat that steers will dress out which have been finished on a silage ration and a dry ration. The meat seems equally bright and the fat as well Intermixed with the lean. If silage makes up the bulk of the roughage it will be necessary to haul large amounts of bedding into the sheds to keep the animals dry, as there is no waste In silage, or else make a cement floor and cover with bedding to absorb the urine and prevent the animals from slipping and to give them a warm place to lie down. When the enormous saving In the quality and amount of the feed Is considered, this disadvantage does not seem so hard to overcome by the stockman who has tne capital to put up the silo and pave his feed sheds or feed lots. FEED WORK HORSES ALFALFA Bad Practice to Fill Manger Morning, Noon and Night and Let Animals , Eat All They Want. j The method practiced by a majority of those who have been feeding alfalfa to work horses has been to fill the manger morning, noon and night, allowing the horse to eat all he wishes. Prairie hay has been fed In this way without any serious results, but not so In the case of alfalfa hay.j Alfalfa hay is very palatable and, horses eat . very large amounts.
