in late summer when pastures are

grades, eighteen months old. They
have been on pasture all sununer with

this winter to turn off for beef in the
spring. Had I better feed these steers
or sell them for what they will bring,
and buy something younger to feed
during' the winter?
Answer: You do not give height of
silo, therefore it is irntpossible to give
you a definite answer as to the num-
ber of cattle you can feed from it.
Heavy and Morrison say that from a
10 fac.t silo at lea,st 520 lbs, of silage
should be removed daily in order to
maintain quality; somewhat less in
corn silage has not proven of value as
a feed for hogs. It is too bulky and
ia not tasty .for hogs.
Your Holetein steers are about' the
right age to make valuable gains from.
proper winter feeding, but their
breeding is against them unless they
have a good mixture of beef blood in
them. If they are tending pretty
close towards pure bred Holsteins you
would do well to sell ihem off pasture
and buy in steers sired by Shorthorn
or some other beef breed.
J. P.: Can you advise me what ap-

barnyard manure on barley and al-

sults an application, of land plaster

Fifty years ago considerable land
plaster was used. It acted purely as
a land stimulant, and for a few years
increased certain crop yields, but the
reaction was bad since it left the soil
poorer. Land plaster carries no plant=

The duty of a Public Health Nurse
is of a different character. For the
main part her work is directed to-
wards the preservation of the health
of those who are well. She works in
a public capacity and is employed in
conamunity either by public health
authorities or by a responsible body
