Feeding cattle for beef during the
past two years has been fraught with
uncertainty because of unusual condi.
Hons caused by the war. high cost 0 [
feed stuffs and the foot and mouth
disease.
During the year 1914 the price 0 t
feeders was higher than during the
fall of 1915. The reasons assigned
are that there are not so many buy.
era in the field because of the price
of foodstuff. Here In Georgia and
northern Florida there were manr
western buyers during the fall 0(
1914, taking -up thousands of; cattle
but during the fall of 1915 they did
not show up. As a consequence local
cattle are bringing lees.
True, cottonseed meal Is up. but
close figuring will reveal that the say
ing In the buying price of the animal
Is greater, at least that the time this
la written, than the increased cost of
meal will amount to In a feeding p«.
riod of 90 to IOO days.
The fast that there are fewer cat
tle being fed for the market would
Indicate good prices at marketing
time. In view of these consideration*
it would appear that this wilt be a
good year to feed cattle for beef In
Georgia, providing the farmer has
some home grown feed and a silage.
Potash Prospects
W. A. Worsham, Professor Of Agri
oultura! Chemistry, Georgia State
College Of Agriculture
Many inquiries are being made as
to the prospects ot obtaining potash,
in view of the absence of the usual
supply from Germany. The indica-
cations are that the fertilizer dealers
are going to put on the market, fur
the most part, a low grade potash
Government investigations of alunite
in Utah has developed that it is
practical source of potash, and some
of the fertilizer dealers are alrea
making use of it.
Not much progress has been ma !e
in obtaining potash economically frr.m
feldspar for fertilizer purposes, nar
has there been very much oMam
ed from, kelp of the western coa'.i.
EvtSffi all these sources not enough
potash will be obtained to equal the
normal demand made upon Germany
and nothing at present, indicates that
when the war ceases this ccmntry will
not again rely upon the German mines.
As a substitute for potash, the
farmer of Georgia will find that cotton
seed meal, if obtained at reasonable
price, may be associated with acid
phosphate and give good results.
About 1% per cent oi the cottonseed
meal is potash. Considering that many
Georgia soils are not deficient In pot
ash, this combination may give as
tpuch satisfaction, generally speak
ing, as could probably be hoped fof

Savings Incident To Proper
Storing Of Farm Machine^

Before the winter sets in the
chinery of the farm should be un'
der shelter and at the first opportun
ity the farmer should obtain some
thick black train oil costing from 12
to 15 cents per gallon, and apply this
tt» all polished surfaces of the ma
chinery. This can be done with a
mop stick.
It la a known fact that the draft
of a rusty plow is twenty-five ,per
cent greater than one that has been
kept free from rust with proper oil
ing. The dirt, of course, adheres to
the rusted parts Instead of shedding
with less friction over a smooth and
shining surface.
Care should be taken to exclude
dust from the bearings of all kinds
of machinery. This can best be done
by getting the oil there first. A lib
eral application of oil should, there
fore, be made to all bearings. If, in
the spring, when the machinery is
taken out for use, it is found that the
bearings are gummy, apply an oil that
is half kerosene and half machine oil
for the first half hour of operation
and then apply the regular maouine
oil. I
Putting the machinery of the farm 1
in shape now and keeping it in shape, |
will be a great saving next spring.!
when the farmer is busiest, and when I
the troubles incident to rust and|
poorly kept machinery will show upi
worst.
