Oats put gains on Calves
Stock calves gain almost a pound
per head per day during their first
winter when fed a ration of prairie
hay and two pounds of oats per head
per day, according to the three suc
cessive experiments at the Valentine
Substation of the University of Ne
braska. Similar calves on prairie hay
alone did little better than hold their
own in weight during the winter,
gaining from 26 to 38 pounds per
head in the three winters. While the
thin, stunted calves gained more rap
idly on pasture the following summer,
they never caught up with the oats fed
calves, nor did the stunted calves,
make as much Profit at the end of
their second summer.
In the same three tests, two pounds
of oats replaced from 35 to 50 pounds
of prairie hay in putting on a pound
of gain on the calves. Farmers who
have both prairie hay and oats to
feed can compare the farm value of
two pounds of oats with 35 to 50
pounds of hay and decide whether or
not it pays to feed oats to the 1931
crop of calves. Figuring prairie hay
at $5 per ton, oats at a cent a pound,
and pasture at $2.50 per head, E. M.
Brouse, superintendent at the Valen
tine Station, says they put the extra
pain on the oats fed calves during
both winter and summer for $4.62 per
hundred.
As long yearling off grass, the oats
fed calves weighed 862 pounds while
the hay fed calves weighed 771 pounds.
The feed bill for the oats fed calves
was only $4.11 more per head than
that of the hay fed group. The calves
weighed the same when started on the
test at weaning time.
From the Daily Bulletin of Col
lege Station, Texas, the following item
is taken concerning a son of Super
visor and Mrs. L. C. McKim:
The first regular meeting of the
Social Science Seminar will be held
in the Physics Lecture room Monday
evening, October 2G, at 8:00 o’clock.
Calvon McKim, assistant professor of
Agricultural Economics will give a
talk, illustrated by stereoptican views,
on northern Luzon, the largest island
of the Philippine group.
The lecture will deal with the nat
ural resources, the industries, and
the social life of the people. While
the subject matter will be scholarly,
as evidenced by its publication in the
Journal of Science of the Philippine
Islands, it will be replete with human
interest material such as one would
gather under protection of the con
stabulary in a district inhabited by
“head hunters.”

OBITUARY
Mrs. John* E. White:—The many
fiends of “Grandma White” were
grieved to hear that she had passed
away at the home of her son, H. S.
White of Amelia.
Mary Ann Hammond was born at
Mont Chuck, Luzerne county I’enn.,
March 26, 1841 and died Nov. 6, 1931
aged 90 years 7 months and 10 days.
In 1855 she, with her parents, and
other relatives emigrated from Penn,
driving through in covered wagons,
and settled in Kankakee county, 111.
She was married to John E. White
December 3, 1862. To this union were
born three son3 and one daughter. The
daughter having died in early child
hood. Her husband John E. W’hite
died January 19, 1905. Three sisters
and two brothers also preceded her in
death. She leaves to mourn her loss
three sons and their families, H. S.
and E. H. of Amelia and E. A. of
Inez, Nebraska. Five grandchildren
and two great grandchildren. Also
two sisters, Mrs. II. Y. Swan and Mrs.
E. W. Stirling of Aroma Park, 111.,
three brothers, Samuel Hammonil of
Aroma Park, 111., Frank Hammond of
Chicago and Charles Hammond of
Grand Rapids, Mich.
Mrs. White, mother, or Aunt Mary,
as we all knew her was converted to
Christ when 16 years of age and has
lived a devoted Christian life. In
1881 she, with her husband and family
settled on the farm now owned by
E. H. White and in recent years has
made her home with her three sons,
dividing the time between each. Words
are inadequate to tell of the many
Christ like traits of her character, but
even yet we can hear many an old
settler say, “In the early days she
was a mother to us all.” “For her
life has been a guidepost along lifes
weary mile, where she fed the weary
traveler and cheered him with her
smile.”
She will be greatly missed by those
w’ho have known her beautiful life
and loved her for what she was and
for what she did. But while she rests
her work and influence will continue.
Impressive funeral services were
held at the Methodist church at
Amelia, Saturday morning. Rev.
Rassmusson of Edgar, Nebraska, as
sisted by Rev. Lindsey of Amelia
officiating. The body was tenderly
laid to rest in the Chambers cemetery.
