1 FAMOUS 
SPR 
DERS 
T HE real cost of a spreader is not 
its first price. It is the cost per 
load of manure handled through¬ 
out the life of the spreader. 
On that basis the Famous OHIO will 
probably cost you less today than the 
spreader you bought a few years ago. 
The wood beaters and distributors 
of the old style spreader have been 
replaced in the OHIO by heavy steel 
parts that will not split or rot. 
The body of the Famous OHIO is 
reinforced top and bottom with heavy 
sills. The back end where the great 
strain comes is held rigid by steel side 
frames and steel arch. 
You cannot afford to use an old 
spreader when the Famous OHIO 
costs so little per load. 
Compare it with your old spreader 
and you can see why it should last 
twice as long.

Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Fattening Steers 
Will you tell the proportion of 43 per 
cent cottonseed meal to cornmeal to fat¬ 
ten steers, using silage and clover hay as 
roughage? P. l. p. 
Where steers are on full feed of grain 
and are give all of the silage and rough- 
age that they will consume, one should 
allow 1% lbs. of cottonseed meal per day 
for each 1,000 lbs. of live weight. At 
Purdue University extensive research was 
conducted as to whether 1 or 2 lbs. 
should he fed per day, and the results 
would seem to indicate that nothing is 
to be gained by feeding the additional 
half pound of this protein concentrate. 
You realize of course that when steers 
are on full feed of grain and silage they 
will consume a very small amount of 
roughage. If the roughage fed is of good 
quality, perchance clover or Alfalfa, then 
it is desirable to reduce the amount of 
cottonseed meal to one pound per day for 
each 1.000 lbs. of live weight. Mani¬ 
festly the advantage of including cotton¬ 
seed meal in rations for fattening steers 
centers around the thought that not only 
will the steers “shed off” somewhat earlier 
in the Spring, which gives the animals 
the appearance of greatly improved condi¬ 
tion, but the cottonseed meal also makes 
it possible for the corn and silage to 
function more efficiently. 
Feeding Carcasses; Improving Land 
1. Would it pay to buy old, worn-out 
horses and feed them to brood sows and 
fattening pigs? If so, how much would 
an 1.100-lb. horse be worth for hog feed? 
IIow would you advise to use them—raw 
or cooked? Would feeding horsemeat to 
hogs give them an appetite for catching 
chickens?- 2. I grow around 20 acres of 
corn a year, and having no dairy, haven’t 
any use for the fodder. IIow much do 
you suppose an acre of fodder is worth to 
roll it down and plow under? c. b. t. 
1. While a given amount of animal 
protein is necessary for swine feeding, 
there is a distinct disadvantage in feeding 
excessively of this produce, even though 
it may be obtained at a relatively low 
cost. Of course you realize that it is dif¬ 
ficult to preserve an animal carcass for 
live stock feeding purposes. It is possible 
to do this during the Winter when the 
weather stays cold and it is feasible ro 
freeze the carcass, yet it is a job that 
very few people are able to do success¬ 
fully. That is why digester tankage and 
meat scrap and fish meal have been 
placed upon the market to provide an ap¬ 
propriate supplement for corn and other 
carbohydrate feeds. True, they are rela¬ 
tively expensive, but they need be fed 
j in only limited quantity. Not more than 
10 per cent of digester tankage need be 
! incorporated in a mixture of corn and 
oats. The feeding of horsemeat to hogs 
! would not give the animals an appetiiie 
for catching chickens. This latter vice 
results partly from under-nourishment 
and partly from improper feeding. When 
carcasses are fed to hogs, unless great 
care is exercised the animals will over¬ 
eat. It seems almost impossible for them 
to .satisfy their craving for flesh products 
of this sort, and gains under these condi¬ 
tions would be very expensive. The use 
of products of this character is not rec¬ 
ommended. 
2. The fertility value of cornstalks is 
not very high, based upon the actual 
amount of phosphoric acid and potash 
that the material contains. However they 
do add considerable humus and some 
potash. Certainly it is worth while to 
work these refuse materials under with 
the plow. You are reminded that in the 
corn belt territory it was good practice 
a number of years ago to go through the 
stalk fields with a so-called stalk breaker 
early in the Spring, then rake the stalks 
together and burn 'them. Observant 
farmers soon realized that this was a 
wasteful practice, and now either the 
stalk cutter or the harrow is run over 
the stalk fields previous to plowing, thus 
making it easier to plow under the corn¬ 
stalks. Where it is desired to follow a 
crop of corn with corn there will usually 
be some inconvenience in cultivating the 
ground for the first time, for the stalks 
will pull the hills out of liue.
