A Taper Iteail at I'latte Farmers Club, Jan.
:!il, by .1. II. Keeil.
"Shall wo feed more of our grain on
our farms?"
It is a very generally conceded fsict
that two added to eight makes ten, al
ways, but two taken from ten leaves
eight, every time, is not believed by a
good nany farmers. You look incredu
lous, but I think I can prove this to bo
a fact a deplorable fact. Let us see.
To get a good foundation for my argu
ment, we will go into the ground a little.
Our soils are made up, you know, of
two classes of materials, inorganic or
mineral, and organic or vegetable. Ages
ago tho great glaciers caino craunching
over the rocks then composing the solid
portion of tho surface of tho earth,
grinding them to dust. Then came the
action of water gathering this fine ma
terial into beds and layers. In time
this great plateau on which now aro our
farms, was slowly raised, while tho wa
ter gradually receded, cutting its way
to the seas, forming our river channels,
or remaining in lakes when tho depres
sions were too low. Tho exposed layers
of disintegrated rock, gradually became
covered with vegetablo life, first in its
simplest forms, slowly giving placo to
tho more complex, till animals appeared.
Both plants and animals wcro of short
life. They lived, flourished, died and
their remains were mingled with the
pulverized rock. Hero wo have, briefly,
tin origin of that jnirtion of tho surface
of the earth, which plant lifo depends on
for nourishment, and which wo call soil.
It's not a part of tho original ground.
I mean to say that that portion of tho
earth from which plants get their nour
ishment, was not there originally, but
has been added, and that though found
in some places less, in somo places more,
the quantity is not exhaustlcss, like tho
products of tho rocks with which it is
mingled, but always limited, and always
comparatively small. It is true, plant
lifo in its simplest form is found on tho
bare sand. Lichens are oven found on
the solid rocks themselves, but they get
their nourishment from the air, not from
the rock. It is also truo that mineral
matter is found in somo plants. You
can scratch glass with a piece of wheat
.straw, owing to tho presence of silex, a
mineral which serves tho pnrposo of
stiffening tho straw. But tho presenco
of these minerals in plants is so slight
it is not worth considering in this dis
cussion.
Now, if wo havo established this fact
that wo depend for tho growth of our
crops upon this material which has been
added to tho original material at the
surface of tho earth, forming what we
call soils, and that, though varying in
quality, is always limited, wo are ready
to go on.
For every bushel of grain grown on
our farms, a certain dciinito and consid
derablo quantity of this material, this
element of fertility, is used. It is drawn
out, is not there linger. Tho quantity
remaining is less, and if tho process of
drawing out is continued without put
ting anything back in its place, tho fer
tility of tho soil will 1h exhausted, as
surely as our bank account will be ex
hausted if wo continue to draw against
it without putting in any more funds.
But is not this just what farmers are
doing continually? Now. I claim I havo
proven my proposition that saiuo farmers
believe that two from ten leaves ten, or
within a fraction so near it's not worth
minding, and they call it ten. The fer
tility of the soil is represented by ten.
They take out two parts and claim there
arc ten left. Take out two parts again
and yet believe tho original supply is
loft all right. They continue this pro
cess till after awhile they begin to won
der what under the sun is tho reason
their wheat or corn crop is not so good
as it used to be. Now, don't say these
farmers "don't believe any such things,
they know better." Isn't it a good deal
more comfortable to think of a neigh-J

lior as at fault in knowledge or judgment,
than to leliovo he does a foolish, sui
cidal thing, knowing all tho time it is
such?
You say, well, what is to be done?
Just what we do in tho case of our bank
account. Wo draw on them but are
careful that they are kept replenished so
our drafts will always bo honored. We
should draw upon tho fertility of our
farms in the shajK) of wheat, corn, oats
and vegetables, but bo as sure to replen
ish the lessened amount as wo are to
keep funds to our credit in tho bank.
I know this is easier said than dono.
It's no trouble to draw checks, but to
keep up the funds to draw against, is
quite another matter, nowadays at least.
So it is an easy matter to raiso crops
from our rich soils before their fertility
is diminished by continued cropping.
To keep this fertility replenished is a far
more serious and difficult matter. To do
it liest requires not only observation and
study but all tho experience we can ob
tain from each other. It is onoof the
most important problems that will como
lieforo this club for discussion. It is not
to 1m solved by a single paper or a single
discussion but should come up frequent
ly and havo our lest attention.
This brings mo more definitely to the
subject assigned to mo. This will not
detain me long, for if what I have al
ready said bo true, there can lie but lit
tlo question whether wo should feed
more of our grain on our farms. Thoro
aro threo ways of keeping up the ferlili
ity of soils. First, by reducing our grain
and forrago to more concentrated pro
ducts thus making tho largest amount
of manure; second, by uso of clovers;
third, by tho uso of commercial fertiliz
ers. The last wo need not discuss. I hoiio
tho timo may not como when
it need bo used in Nebraska.
I licliove the timo already here, when
tho clovers may bo used for the purpose
to great advantage, but lest in connec
tion with grain feeding. We will speak
only of tho first. Every ncro of corn
should produce nearly or quite two tons
of solid grain. This amount we seo at
onco must stand for a very considerable
percentage of tho fertility of tho soil on
which it is grown. If the two tons of
corn aro sent to market and nothing in
tho way of feed or fertilizers brought
back, the soil is impoverished to tho ex
tent of all tho material that went from
the soil into that two tons of grain. On
tho other hand, if it is converted into
beef, pork or milk, 500 or (MO pounds aro
carried from the farm in place of 4 NX).
The difference Iieing returned to tho
soil and tho loss to fertility vastly less.
But tho question comes up at once,
can we get as much for corn that way?
Tho dimo held near the eye is always
bigger and brighter than the dollar a
little distance away. Fiteen cents cash
for corn from tho crib seems more than
fifteen cents a few months further on,
from tho corn product in tho shape of
beef or iork, with an increased value of
the land equal to several cents a bushel
for all the corn so used, added. Besides
there is no doubt at nil in my mind, that
oven at present prices thoro is from
twenty-five- to 100 per cent more receiv
ed for corn, judiciously fed to the right
kind of stock, than if sold for cash. Even
to our western four years old steers. I
shall be quite disappointed if we do not
get twenty-five cents cash for the corn
fed them and Fin sure if wo had had
good, high grade Short Horn two years
old, to feed in place of them they would
have made us almost ten cents more a
bushel. I know it is more difficult to
show this in cold figures, than it is to
establish tho principle that to feed our
grain on tho-farm is necessary to retain
fertility. First becanse the process is
more complex, and hence the exact re
sult more difficult to arrive at; second,
becanse any body with physical strength
and ordinary sense can raise, harvest
and market a crop of corn and count
what little money he gets for it.
But to convert this simpler product
into our more concentrated, requires
more or less of special knowledge, skill
and care. As these equipments vary
in farmers, the result of their work will
vary. But there are some general facts
and principles that should help us to de
cide this matter. For instance, the
great bulk of our corn crop goes to make
pork or beef, in this country, either here
or further east Only about ten per
cent of the eastern crop goes abroad. A
much smaller per cent of it is used for
human food, and for working animals.
So that its use for producing flesh for
food is so much the most important that
its value for that purpose determines
largely the price. I think you will all
agree with me in this. Now let us see.
On the 30th of December at Omaha, fair
to good beef cattle sold for $3.70 to $4
a hundred; average price $3.85. The
same grade of cattle on the same day
sold in New York at $4.25 to $4.40; aver
age price $L325, a difference in price
between Omaha and New York, of 47
cents a hundred or 12? per cent in favor

of New York. Tho difference in price of
hogs alKiut tho same, 12.j per cent. On
tho same day corn sold in New York for
forty cents, hero it brought fifteen cents,
a difference of twenty-five cents a bush
el or KiG-;, ier cent in favor of Now
York. Now, tho point I wish to make is
that if corn costing ono and a half times
as much as it brings here can bo turned
into iork and beef in tho osist with a
margin of profit, wo certainly can afford
to reduce our corn to meat on our farms
when we obtain as much for tho product
within 12'; per cent as they get there.
Of course, I understand that the grain is
not fed in Now York. Much of it is dis
tributed from there, much of it is dis
tributed all along tho way between here
and thoro. I tako tho New York prices
lecauso I think them a fair basis for the
calculation.
Two years ago last spring I spent
some time in Ohio and having opportuni
ty gavo this matter special study. I
found that all through tho state, many
farmers mado it a regular practice of
feeding a little bunch of steers every
year. Somo of them feeding their own
corn but most of them buying more or
less western corn. Ono man sold his
steers while I was there, receiving $4.2i
a hundred, exactly what we had received
for ours two or three weeks before. Ho
told mo that ho had been offered sixty
cents for his corn but ho preferred to uso
it in fatting his steers which he had rais
ed for market, and was accustomed to do
each year. Ho said present prices re
quired careful and economical feeding
but he considered it better than to send
the grain off tho farm.
In view of tho fact that many havo
lost money in lato years feeding here, it
may seem to somo of you that I have
over-drawn this matter, but I feel sure
I have not. My observation in other
countries its well as in tho older parts of
our own, with careful study of the mat
ter hero fully.convinces mo that we have
very much yet to learn in tho way of
economical feeding, and that the ques
tion is no longer Ought we to feed our
grain on the farm? but How shall wo
feed it most economically?
