FOR THE FARMERS Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. (By the County Agent) Steer Feeding Trial Under Way. , The annual winter cattle feeding ex- , perll «fnt to test out rations for the fat- , tenin 8 ot cattle, is again in progress at the Purdue University Experiment ’ Station. This practice has been fol ( lowed continuously for fifteen years ! and the usual seventy head of two- , J'ear-old steers are now on feed. "Such information as will be gained ( from this work is especially timely bc- ! cause now the time when efficiency . must bo practiced if there is to be any profit from cattle feeding business,” said one of the animal bus- , I,an<l 'ynien at Purdue. “The time in I l>asl "hen inefficient!, methods will yield satisfactory returns.” Three big factors in the economy of feeding cattle are under trjal this . J ear. First, the value of mixed corn and soybean silage as compared to t corn silage. The purpose of this is ( to learn whether supplementary feeds t can b eplaced by a home-grown protein like soybeans mixed with corn for making silage. Second, the value of both corn silage and corn-soybean silage is being tested with and with- , out cottonseed mea.l. This series of tests will show whether cottonseed 3 meal is economical for feeding with corn silage and will also show whether it is as valuable when fed witd mixed corn-soybean silage as when fed with plain corn silage. The third factor is under trial is to determine the most economical quality of corn that can be fed to fattening tattle. Different quantities of corn are being fed a in four different lots of 10 each. The cattle under trial this year are [. good to choice Shorthorn cattle, weighj. ing 850 pounds per head and will be ( ; "1 for a period of approximately five months at which time the results will Q be given to the public at the annua) spring meeting of the Indiana Cattle Feeders’ association.
