USE CHEAPER FEEDS
Corn Fodder and Straw Make Good
Rations.
It is time to quit shoveling grain in
discriminately into live stock. Good
live-stock framing demands it and the
need of food requires it. Feeding
grain to meat animals with a lavish
hand is responsible for one of the
greatest food losses on the farms of
this country. Hay, fodder, silage, and
pasture are the cheapest feeds and
will carry animals along with a min
imum of grain. Keep the frames of
the young animals develing on these
cheap feeds. Withhold the full grain

rives. Breeding cattle may be wint
ered on the cheaper feeds.
This advice of animal-husbandry
specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture to stock
feeders is not emergency advice only;
it is the sound logic of meat pro
duction which American farmers must
learn if they are to compete success
fully with European meat producers
in the coming generations. These
are good days to learn the lesson of
feed conservation. In Farmers’ Bul
letin 873, “The Utilization of Farm
Wastes in Feeding Live Stock,” spec
ialists tell how to use these cheaper
feeds in rations for cattle, sheep, and
horses.
A tremendous waste of feeding
stuffs occur annually on American
farms, according to figures presented
in this publication. In 1914 about
120,000,000 tons of straw were pro
duced in the United States. Of this
amount 55 per cent was fed to live
stock, 15 per cent was burned, 8 per
cent was sold 22 per cent was plowed
under or otherwise disposed of. Corn
stover produced in the United States
is estimated at 245,253,000 tons, of
which 81% per cent is fed to cattle
and other stock. No figures were ob
tained to show the percentage that is
wasted in the feeding, but at least
35 per cent of the total amount pro
duced represents waste.
This waste of corn stover can be
checked it is said, through use of bet
ter methods of feeding fodder and
stover and it can be almost entirely
stopped through the use of silos.
Straw and stover are best utilized for
feed when accompanied by concen
trates, such as cottenseed meal. If
the large amounts of cottonseed meal
ordinarly used for fertilizer in the
south, instead, fed to stock and the
manure used for fertilizer, the value
of the meal would be inceased from
50 to 75 per cent.
Practical experience as well as ex
perimental work has taught that the
straw and stover can be used very
economically in the rations of almost
all kinds of live stock. They can be
used in the fattening rations of all
farm animals except hogs and should
compose the larger part of all winter
ing or keeping rations of cattle, sheep,
and horses. Breeding herds of beef
cattle or dry dairy cows can be suc
cessfully kept on rations composed
largely of these roughages. Flocks
of breeding ewes do well on such feeds
when some grains are added. Horses
doing very light work or no work at
all need very little grain if given plent
iful allowance of clean, light straw or
stover. Under certain conditions of
course, grain should be conserved as
largely as possible for human con
sumption. The bulletin mentioned
suggests various rations which are
made up principally of these waste
feeds.
