‘ \ DECEMBER 1 Feed Shortage In United States There Ls a. feed shortage in the United States due to the effects of p... recent drought. A recnt sur- vgy shows that‘ the total feed and lorage supply is sufficient to pro- vide only a little more than a sub- nsrence ration for livestock in m; drought areas and rations be- low normal in other States if the present reduced‘ numbers of ani- mail are maintained, according to the Agricultural Department of the Canadian National Railways.

Man- ure. for example, will provide not only available plant food as potash. but also bacteria and material such as the crude fibre of the feed which will decay to form humus. When such materials are mixed in suitable proportions and allow- ed to stand through one season, a very valuable fertilizer is obtained. The difference in the effect of various materials is shown by the following: ' One hundred pounds of peat will hold 000 pounds of water and 1.1 pounds of ammonia. while the same am ‘ of sawdust will hold 435 pouifds of water and practically no ammonia.

Horses and carts were ready, with food. bedding and extra clothing, to take the women, bairns and old and sick folk west- ward, when it was known that the invaders was marching into the country; and old men and young lads that could not carry a musket was appointed to drive the carts and look after the horses.

Economical -‘ Feeding 0i Stock On account of the serious short- age of hay and straw in some sec- tions of the Province, and the small quantity that is available for sale even if those who are very scarce had the money with which to buy hay. The price of hay and straw is now high and will be higher before spring. This requires very careful feeding. and my object for writing this article is tn pass my qwn ex- perience on to any and many who do not use my method of feeding. I do not profess to be an expert along the lines suggested. It is my opinion the/t a great many farmers feed entirely toe much ruffage in the shape of hay or straw to their stock. The old system of feeding hay or straw too horses and cattle three to four times a day. especial- ly in the short days of winter fromi Nov. till March, is a very wasteful rule for the benefit received in 19-‘ turn. Having driven teams in the lumberwoods of Maine. U. S. A.,' thirty five years ago, where those‘ heavy large horses. fourteen to sev-, enteen hundred pounds would just be given a fist full of hay. so wi of hay at night and for noon feed four quarts oats and two quarts cracked corn at each meal, and were in harness from early morn- ing till night each and every day. stormy and fine for at least seven months of the year. FTOm this I conceived the idea that if those horses could do so well on this feed- ing why could not curs. Since then I feed to horses and cattle two feeds roughage hay in the morn- ing. hay or straw at night. and at noon a. feed of oats and raw pota- tocs to horses. and to cows. potatoes or turnips with crushed oats and some oil cake meal, and my cows al-, ways are healthy and come out in the spring sleek and in good order. I also feed sulphur freely to cowsJ this cleans their skin and keeps‘ away vennin. As potatoes this winter are plen- tiful and cheap. if young stock were fed one feed roughage and two feeds boiled potatoes they should come out- good on this feed. As the Iced problem no doubt will be ser- ious for a. great many before spring on the Mainland this year, the farmers are feeding their stock the unthreashed grain. knowing that it will be much easier to purchase seed oats next spring than hay, I believe that the same applies to us here on P.E.I. no doubt oats can be obtained in the spring for seed at a reasonable price, while hay may not be obtainable at any price and the price for cattle so low that in many cases it would not pay to buy for them. I would suggest and 1st bat- comipant- one . artist." haven't twenty a bank ' said the a day or in other the moon to put an recommend to any one using the 01d Biieiern of feeding straw or hay to cattle three to four times daily during the short days ol winter months to try this method cf feed- ing as suggested.
