tablespoon of butter or other fat and salt and peppe years have been neglected that many beet growers will make use of their tops has already been indicated adverse weather conditions throughout the early spring weeks resulted in a low yield of spring grains feed shortages and higher prices focus the economy spotlight on the beet top reduction in purchases of costly grains and elimination of the need for highcost concentrates can be brought about by the beet farmer who remembers that a combination of alfalfa hay and beet tops will pumpkin chiffon i cup sugar hi cups pump kin cooked or caned

this hunting season the most successful ever o often also an excellent source of vitamin a an essential in the ration if good fattening is to be obtained consid erable loss in vitamin a results when siloing of beet tops is delayed on the other hand if tops are siloed green they will retain their vitamin and neutrient values for a long period tops need no tramping and can le piled on the ground the settled silage weighs about 50 pounds per cubic fool a tentontot heacre crop of sugar beets should produce 2 to 3 tons of sjlage per acre in feeding the tops it is well to remember that they have definite laxative properties and therefore should be fed along with hay and grain in daily rations calves should have no more than eight pounds cows beef steers and heifers 25 pounds another eet crop byproduct of prime importance to the fanner is dried pulp results of tests con ducted at leading american experi mental stations and agricultural colleges reveal that feeding a ton of dried leet pulp along with grain and alfalfa will replace 17s2 pounds of corn and s35 pounds of alfalfa hay in producing gains on cattle or lambs when mixed with grains pulp does much to keep fattening animals on feed without setbacks this is one of the chief reasons for dried pulps high fattening value it is also worthwhile to note that a mixture of grain and pulp prevents indigestion and bloating a third beet byproduct that no good cattleman ignores is sugar beet molasses experimental stations have conducted trials show that sugar beet thoroughly and cool when mixture i begins to thicken beat egg

the ration gradual ly approximately four pounds should be fed each day to fattening cattle certainly the value of the tops from a single acre of beets should do much to convince the beet farmer of the importance of feeding j cattle in fact the combination of bee farming and cattle feeding is not only wise from the economy stand point but is part and parcel of good sound agricultural practice as e j maynard in his informative book beets and meat points out unless a farmer can affirmatively answer the question to feed or not to feed he sooner or later must answer the question to feed or not to farm this is true because farming requires manure and man ure comes from feeding unless manure is produced on the farm it must be secured elsewhere and securing manure elsewhere is un sound in the long run farming without manure means quicker turnover of tenants and deteriora tion of the productivity of the soil the whole system runs downhill but with feeding there is efficient marketing of crop- and animals plus production of manure mmmbmmeoay november 11 ttck canadian national paris auto supply ltd branch store auto wreckers at stop 9vz yonge street willowdale all kinds of new and used
