COOPERATIVE EXPERIMENTS
Iowa State College Department to
Delye into Special Problems.

AMES, IOWA.-G. I. Christie of the
department Of agronomy at the Iowa
State college and secretary Of the
Iowa Agricultural union has issued an
outline of cooperative experiments
to be carried out by the members Of
the association at the college and
over the state. 49,. ~. E.E~.
One Of the most striking expert
ments that is to be carried out is a
fence post test by the horticultural de-
partment. The supply Of timber for
fence purposes in Iowa is becoming
scarce and the softer timbers rapidly
decay. 1t is believed these timbers
can be SO treated that they will be
made much more durable. A treat
ing tank is to be set up at the COL
lege and posts will be furnished by
farmers who will cooperate In the
work. The department will be fur
nished data from the results Of these
experiments as needed.
Some practical work is being car
| ried on in the department Of animal
| husbandry, in animal feeding. These
are to determine the best method of
changing cattle from dry feed lots to
pasture.

Sheep and cattle are dying by the hum.
dreds, owing to the scarcity Of hay and
water. The cattle will eat snow all,

AS soon as one sheep dies the rest
Of the flock pounce upon him and
eat all his wool. This wool rolls up
in their stomachs and adds to the
death rate. Persons are paying as
high as $40 a ton for hay, laid down
at their ranches. It is either this or.
lose their stock.
One reason for this condition was.
the poor range Of last season, much
stock which would otherwise have
been shipped being kept another year..
If northern. Montana was an open

rivers fenced in on both sides, stock
would fare all right. When cattle and
sheep can secure sufficient water they
can subsist long time without food:
