DETERMINING FACTORS
IN BEEF PRODUCTION
Must Be Considered By Farmer Who
Expects To Raise Or To Finish
Beef Cattle
In order to make a fair margin
of profit the farmer, according to Dr.
Soule of the Slate College of Agricul
ture, should ascertain whether he has
on hand or can obtain at a reasonable
cost the type and class of cattle from
which he may expect to make a pro
fit; he must either have or be will
ing to supply himself with such
equipment as is necessary; he must
take into consideration the question
of foodstuffs, both concern rates and
roughage; and finally he must have
a market where he can easily dispose
of his cattle after he has finished
them.
Animals with a blocky conforma
tion and those general character
istics which distinguish the beef type
may be depended upon, if properly
fed and handled, to make good gains
and a protit for the owner. Anita-Us
with a dairy conformation have .no
natural covering of flesh and, though
they may make fairly good gains,
much of the fat v. i 1 be fcqnd around
the intestines rather than in the re
gion cf Ihe most valuable cuts.
We are prone to believe that with
‘our mild climate shelters are not ne
cessary, but statistics show that in j
the sou it 25 cattle out of every thou
sand die from exposure, while in the
northern states with their rigorous
winters only 3.6 cattle die to the
thousand. In Georgia last year sl,-
045,000 worth of cattle were lost
through exposure and disease and the
lota! for the fifteen southern states
runs between 75 and 100 million dol
lars annually. There need not be a
costly building but a cheap shelter
with a leanto roof and open on the
south side can easily be provided.
Experienced feeders consider a silo
as almost absolutely necessary for
the economical feeding of live stock
during the winter months. Land that
lias formerly been planted to cotton
may be devoted to oats or a mixture
of oats, crimson clover and vetch for
hay. Following this the ground should
I?i odace a sec, nd crop, cowpea hay,
and the oat land may make the corn
f r the silo. These v, ho prefer may
lire sorghum cr kafir corn for the silo
itisteai. of field corn. There should
lie an abundance of tame pastures,
such as Bermuda, burr clover, and
Japan clover. Where lime is widely
used, alfalfa can be grown, success
fully in all parts of the sou b. It is
needless to say that cotton see l ntca!
will bt '.he main concen.ia'n supple
rr.eniei with corn or ok: , v. ’ u
uecest ary.
In order to finish cattle with- any
degree cf satisfaction they should be
id from Do 10 150 days. For the 1000
round animal keep an abundance of
mixed bay in the'Y-eding rack al
all times; feed daily ,’!0 to 40 pounds
of silage, 4 to 0 pounds of cotton seed
meal, and 5 to 7 p; .nd* of shelled
corn.
THOUGHTS
■ Every misery one misses is anew
blessing.
By persuading others we convince
ourselves.
The most zealous are not always
the wisest.
Worth makes the man and want of
it the fellow.
What a man can do well is his great
est ornament.
The world is Ids who can see t .rough
its pretension.
The society of women Is the element
of good manners.
AVe may despise the world, but we
cunnot do without it,
Avery small bit of religion will
make a good-sized cloak.
WINTER COVER CROPS
SWELL FRUIT RETURNS
Prevent Washing of Land and D*
crease Fertilizer Bill
One of the most important prac
tices in orchard management is the
growing of a cover crop undgr the
trees during the winter. This cover
crop helps to cut down the nitrogen bill
if winter growing legumes are used;
adds organic matter to the soil; and
prevents washing in our hilly sec
tions, says Prof. McHatton of the
Georgia State College.
If we can do so, it will be well to have
hairy vetch as part of this cover crop.
To go along with the vetch we should
have either oats, rye or wheat. It
takes about a bushel of grain seed
and twenly pounds of hairy vetch to
sow an acre. Where used, the hairy
vetch seed should be inoculaied be
fore planting.
In North Georgia the cover crop
should be sown about the last of
September to the firgt of October. In
Central Georgia it. should be sown by
the 15th of October. In South Geor
gia it may be sown as late as the
last of October or first of November.
Where orchards are on rolling land,
it is well to sow this cover crop with
an open-furrow drill. The open fur
rows not only protect the grain, but
are a great help fn keeping the land
from washing until the young grain
can become well established. The
value of a cover crop in an orchard
cannot be estimated, as we have no
way of knowing the monetary value
of organic matter in the land. We
’ r.ow, however, it grea'ly improves
the soil and will help us to make a
crop of good fruit the following sea
son.
If the above mentioned seed cannot
be obtained for sowing the cover
crop, it would be a good plan to sow
something under the trees,—turnips,
rape, or anything that will grow
through the winter, so that when
plowing time comes in the spring
there will be something to turn
under. .
