Now that It is in process of building

The project for having a rural

Tobacco n d Canvas.

The Continental Tobacco Com
pany has arranged to grow a lot of
white Burley tobacco under canvass
in several counties in Kentucky this
a to test the question as to the
superiority of such tobacco over that
grown in the open air. Two acres
of this tobacco will be raised on the
Hon. James E. CahiU's farm, near
Lewisburg. The company will fur
nish all the canvas and other mate
rial for covering, the ground. The
canvas is heavier than the ordinary
canvas, and will be supported on a
frame work of scantling at a height
of nine feet. There will be entrances
to admit the teams and hands en-
gagged in the cultivation Of the crop.
It is said the covering alone will cost
$3.50 an acre. Mr.. Cahill is to look
after the cultivation of the crop, and
the Continental has an option On
the output at ten cents a pound

carbohydrates and fat in order to
make it a desirable food.
We can keep up the animal heat
with albuminoids, or protein, but we
cannot do it at a profit, nor can we
risk the health of the animal in so
doing. Disease usually follows. We
can keep UP the heat by using albu-
minous foods but we cannot make
muscle out of the compounds of car
bon and water, or carbohydrates, IN
the various foods used on the farm.
We are glad to receive letters of
this character because it enables us
to shoot straight and discover on
what point the farmers need help and
give it. While the subject of bal
anced rations is regarded as an in
tricate one, and while 1T is difficult
also to secure the proper ration, the
reasons underlying are really simple.
Bear in mind that the animals must
have bone-making material to make
bone. This is found in the ash and
in the albuminoids. It must have
matchmaking material to make
muscle. This also is found in the al
buminoids. 1t must have some cheap
fuel to burn to keep warm, and as a
source of energy, and these are
found in the carbohydrates and fats.
Bear in mind that all foods have all
these elements but in different pro-
portions, and that the theory of bal
anced rations is in getting the pro
portions just right for each particu-
lar class of animals at different ages
and for the work they are doing at
this particular time.-Dr. Henry
Wallace in Wallace's Farmer.

State Veterinarian TAFT Butler is
right in advocating the teaching of
agriculture in the public schools. He
loks for it to be done in a few years.
It is, he contends, the true way to
fix the right principles in the minds
of the children. Grass is trying to
grow=an over the State and the farm
ers are trying to kill it, often to raise
a miserable crop of cotton or corn;
whereas the grass cut and cured as
hay would bring thrice the money
and also feed cattle. Hay can be
sold as hay or it can, better still, be
turned into beef. DR.. Butler while
out driving with the writer, pointed
to fine meadow land rank with bushes

tooding experiment at Odebolt last
I'll oombats in a measure some of
4bo theories that he has been taught
:, rarard to balanced rations. The
host results were, as he says, obtained
from gluten meal in connection with
corn. and as gluten meal is a by
nroduct of corn it seems to him that
this upsets the theories that have
been taught on this subject. He asks
rs to define carbohydrates, and wish
es a personal letter inasmuch as this
subject is to come up at a club meet
ING in a day or two.
This letter indicates that even
mons we'll informed farmers there
IS a good deal of confusion of
thought on this subject of the bal
anced ration. Beginning with the
specific question of the letter, "What
are carbohydrates 2" we will attempt
to clarity the ideas of readers whose
minds are not clear on this subject.
Carbohydrates, as the word indicates,
are various compounds of carbon and
water. and are used in the animal
system to maintain heat and energy,
the excess over and above the animal
requirement. being stored in the sys-
TEN in the form of fat. Fats are the
oils of food which have about two
and onc-fourth times the fuel value
and energy of carbohydrates; hence,
to get the ratio we should multiply
the fats by two and one-fourth, add
that to the carbohydrates, and divide
by the albuminoids. This gives the
nUtritivc ratio. The bones of the
animal contain a large amount of the
ash Of the food, that which remains
after burning. The muscles and the
hair and the blood-are largely album
nous. No amount of fat or carbo-
hydrates can by any possible means
create or make an ounce of muscle
or bone. They do not contain the
stuff III of which muscle is made;
hence, the necessity of a proper pro-
portion between the ash, the alubu-
mm"idS. and the carbohydrates and
tat~. This is what is called a bal
an""d ration, feeding the animal
with what it needs at this or that
particular period of growth.
1t will be seen at once that the
Young animal requires a much lar
ger proportion of bone and muscle

Does That Collar Ftp

There are numerous reasons in
some cases why horses do not work
satisfactorily. In some instances
they are placed in difficult positions
where to do their part goes against
the grain very severely. Again the
draft is sidewise, making the tongue
of the implement to interfere with
the animals locomotion. Then again
there may be some physical ailment
not noticeable by the driver which
makes the horse fretful, Indifferent
or INDECENT. But in a very large
number of cases the whole trouble
may be traced to the ill-ftting collar.
Nothing gives a horse more discom-
fort than a tight or too loose collar.
And even if it fit well, it may not be
comfortable for it may be made of
such hard, horny leather that it viii
hurt the skin with which it is in con
tact.
Every farmer of any experience
knows that not n collar in one hun
dred in daily use is a perfect fit
many will do, but a large majority of
them are too wide for the neck and
not adapted to the shoulders. Every
horse should have his own collar to
be able to do his work with comfort,
and every collar should be fitted to
the horse that is expected to wear it.
If the collar is too small it should
be cut off at the top; but if too wide
and not adapted to the shoulders of
the horse, don't think you must get
a pad to fill in the space. Pads to
the horses shoulders in summer are
about what overshoes would be to
our feet-makes them tender and
soft instead of firm and tough.
Select the style and length of col
lar best adapted to the work to be
performed, and whether a new or old
collar, soak it in water over night
before fitting it to the horse. When
ready to put it on wipe off the sur
plus water from the collar, put it on
and adjust the names at top and bot
tom so as to bring the collar to the
neck snugly its entire width. Don't
have it wide at the top and close at
the bottom, or vice versa; but a close
fit to the sides of the neck, so hat
the collar will sit firmly and not slide
from side to side over the shoulders,
but as nearly immovable as possible
sidewise. When the collar is. soaked
thoroughly it can be brought to the
sides of the horses neck perfectly;
but when the collar is dry and stiff
this cannot be done with any degree
of satisfaction. When the wet collar
has been fitted to the horses neck,
with the hame tugs draught at the
proper place (neither too high nor
too low, then work the horse in this
wet collar at moderate draught until
the collar is dry, and a perfect fit can
be obtained. There is no other way
in which it can be done perfectly,
and we should never be satisfied with
anything short of an absolute fit of
the collar to both the sides of the
neck and the form of the shoulders

n the use to which it is put.
Scientists are not altogether agreed
as to what the exact proportion is.
The German scientists figure out a
ratio for the milk COW of one of al
buminoids to 81 of carbohydrates
and fat, but the more practical x
periments being made at various x
pertinent stations under American
conditions indicate that a wider ra-
ton is required and the tendency of
opinion is a ratio of one to sever.
The horse at work requires a diff
ferent ration from the horse at rest
in the stall. The horse at work is
using muscle, hence wasting muscle,
and it must be supplied with a mus
cle-making food such as oats. At
the same time he is putting forth a
great deal of energy and oats may,
therefore, be balanced with corn. Or
a ration may be made of corn and
clover hay, or alfalfa, the two last
furnishing the albuminoids or the
matchmaking element. Horses and
cattle in cold weather take more corn
than In hot weather for the a
that more is required to furnish heat
for the body. All grain consumed is
really burned and the heat of the
result of this burning. It will be
seen, therefore, that the conclusions
of the scientists agree with the con-
illusions of practical farmers on this
and almost all other questions.
The more nearly we balance the ra-
ton, that is, the more nearly we sup
ply the food in the proportion hat
the animal requires, the better it will
thrive and the healthier it will be-
We "a not cheat nature in this re-
spect. Her laws are i~nexorable and
if we break them we must take the
consequences. For example, if we
feed a pig all corn from birth to ma
turity it will be deficient in muscle
and bone, for while corn contains
both muscle and bone-making ele-
ments it does not have enough of
them. The bones of the pig will be
weaker, it will be deficient in blood,
hence in vitality, and this is the pen
atty we pay for violating the plain
laws of nature.
Nearly all our grains contain albu-
minoids, carbohydrates, and fat, but
no one of them contains them in the
proportions required by every animal
on the farm. Oats as a horse feed
with mixed hay probably comes near
er than anything else, and yet this
would not provide the. proper feed
for the horse under all conditions and
at all seasons of the year. Farmers,
therefore, are absolutely compelled
to study the balanced ration. The
fact that the animals in the Brook
mont experiment that we're fed glu-
ten feed and gluten meal did better
than the others does not at all combat
the theories outlined. While gluten
feed is a by-product of corn, it con-
tains the fesh-forming elements of
corn, and hence, pound for pound, is
of more va1ue to the farmer who

The St. Louis Republic., 1903-05-31

The United States Marine Corps will be
| represented at the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
| position by battalion of $50 men. This is
| distinct innovation from the representa-
tion made at previous expositfons. At Chi
cago there was detachment of fifty men,
while at Buffalo sixty-five men represented
that branch of the service.
Captain Lloyd G. Harris of ST. Louis. who
was at one time an officer in the Marine
Corps. suggested to Major General Charles
Haywood. commandant of the corps, the
advisability Of sending battalion 10 the
Worlds Fair instead of a small detach-
ment.
Upon his visit to st. Louis, at the time
Of the dedication ceremonies, General Hey
wood conferred with Captain Harris about
the matter. and he has since given TIA as
surance that visitors to the Fair win be
able to see full battalion of marines.
The battalion will be encamped upon the
Exposition grounds and will give an exhibi-
tion drill daily. The Marine Corps is con-
sidered the best drilled army of the service.
and it is expected that the battalion as
signed to the Exposition will contain the
pick Of the corps.

cussing the matter, believe that the pres

sition will be distinct educational feature.
Many people in the Middle West have
vague IDEAS concerning the duties of ma
r.nes. Many believe that they are sailors,
and even those who do not entertain this
notion have only an indefinite idea of the
functions of the corps.
For this reason. and also, because from
