Feeding Methods ! Help Live Stock Plan Evolved by Department of Agriculture to Help — . (Prerir.d by th. Vmted state. Department Os Agriculture ) the Lnited States Department of Agriculture announces a nation wide service to bring about improved methods of feeding live stpek In the United States. The plan Is to bring tlie knowledge of up-to-date feeding methods to the attention of every Uve-stpek feeder in tlie country; and, in co-operation with state agricultural colleges, county extension agents, and other agencies Interested In the betterment of the live stock of the nation, to offer individual assistance to farmers who have special and difficult feeding problems. Ever since the beginning of the “Better Sires —Better Stock’’ campaign, which has enrolled more than 1,200,000 head of live stock for improvement by means of better methods of breed--1 Ing. there has been u demand from stockmen over the entire country that I the government inaugurate a better--1 feeding campaign. A large proportion of inquiries on live-stock problems received by tlie department from farmers l of the country seek information on i feeding. Tlie plan which lias been ! evolved is expected to render a definite service to those who ask for feeding help, and also to bring a knowledge of better feeding methods to many who | would not make inquiries. Best Methods Not Practiced. That good feeding methods are | known and practiced by the more ex--1 perienced live stock owners in the United States is shown by the good condition and finish of a proportion of animals appearing at stock yards, and by good records in production made by some feeders. But the proportion can tie made larger with benefit to the . Individual grower and to the nation, according to tlie department live-stock specialists. A conservative estimate i based on a careful survey of American farms shows that there are 14 million head of runty animals in the country. I A majority of nearly 1,000 farmers I who commented on the situation stated i that adequate and proper feed are the ' principal means of preventing runtiness in animals. The tremendous mortality among young animals is largely attributable also to lack of proper care and feed up to and including weaning time. These, and other facts, point to the great need for more genoral pracnce of better feeding methods. They point also to tlie immense amount of benefit that can accrue to the ntHien in ,tlis!_way..4)f better live stock, more economical production, and a great saving in feedstuffs, if the general live-stock feeding practice of the nation can be made more efficient. Department Offers Wide Service. I The Department of Agriculture offers an individual feeding service that IS available to any live-stock t feeder in I the country. One of the principal seaI t tires of tliis service will be a “FeedingProblem Sheet” which farmers may obtain from their county agents, state agricultural colleges, or direct from the department at Washington. On the feeding-problem sheet the farmer outlines his problem briefly, and i describes his stock and available feeds. Tlie sheet is designed to enable the farmer to give sufficient .information in brief form to make additional correspondence unnecessary. The farmer then refers the sheet to his county agent, tvlio makes a recommendation. ‘ When the sheet reaches the*department a livestock feeding specialist | studies the problem and makes suitable reply. A great deal of the correspondence re. ceived from farmers asking informatidli on special feeding problems does not state tlie conditions surrounding tlie problem in sufficient detail to permit of a definite reply. Additional corI respondence often causes delay. Tlie I feeding-problem sheet will correct This, and make it comparatively simple for a stockman to submit his problem in a form such that it may lie correctly diagnosed. Farmers will be encouraged to consult local agencies for ' help with problems that are plainly local In character. The feeding-problem service will be of help to others besides those farmers who submit their problems for diagnosis. The department will study tlie problems confronting feeders in the different sections of the country and make public tlie results of fits study, thereby enabling tlie entire country to derive a benefit. Every stock feeder who submits ids feedt&t - problem, telling his present pracand the results being obtained, will t,e an active aid in tlie drive for better methods of live-stock feeding. Handbook Being Prepared. i a vest-pocket-size handbook entitled “A Handbook for the Better Feeding of Live Stock” is being prepared by department feeding specialists for free distribution to farmers who desire a handy-sized set of simple rules and reference tables to be followed in feeding the different classes of farm animals Requirements of animals, simple analyses of feeds, feeds to substitute for other feeds, and simple feeding instructions will enable fanners to understand the principles of better feeding, and fit their own practice to suit the conditions on their farms. The Department of Agriculture realizes that, in order to accomplish the most good, a drive for nation-wide bo’* ter feeding qf live stork must have the co-operation’of all persons interested In the subject. Summaries of the progress of the work will be published to keep those Interested informed.
