FIRST BREAK IN CADIZ'
Inspector Quarles, of Hop
kinsville, Breaks A Hhds.

Never before in the History of
Cadiz was the breaking and samp-
ling of a hogshead of tobacco wit
messed here until Tuesday afternoon,
when Mr.. Frank M. Quarles, of
HOpkinsville, an official Inspector of
the Dark Tobacco Association, was
sent here to break and take SAMPLES
from forty-four hogsheads of to-
bacco in the Cadiz storage house
Mr.. j. w. Hancock, the manager
of the storage house here. was noti-
fed by the Association authorities
to have certain hogsheads-fortv-
four in number-opened and ready
for inspection Tuesday afternoon
Mr.. Hancock at once put a crew of
hands to work opening up the hogs
heads as ordered. Mr.. Quarles ar
rived here on the noon train Tues
day and at once began the work of
sampling these hogsheads. The in.
spection was completed and Mr.,
Quarles returned that night to Hop
kinsville.
This being something altogether
new for Cadiz, the proceedings were
watched by quite a crowd of citizens
many Of whom had never before
seen tobacco on the breaks. Record

averaging more that 200 eggs to the
hen, four were White Leghorns, one
Golden Wyandottes, one Silver Wy
andottes and one Imperials.
The No. 2 competition of so pens
conducted by Mr.. ]. M'Intosh at
Rockdale was arranged in order to
provide for breeders who were un-
successful in their applications for
pens at the Hawkesbury College, and
who were anxious to have their hens
tested. In this smaller fest even
better results were secured and the
winning pens total and the average
egg-yield constitute worlds record.
There were so pens in this contest,
and 18 ran over 1886, or 2O6 eggs to
the hen. The first pen, Black Or
pingtons, had 1,4O1, or 2433 eggs
each, breaking the worlds best rec
ord. White Leghorns came second
with 1443, and Minorcas third with
1925 three pens beating the best
in the other contest. OF the 18 200
egg pens 7 were White Leghorns,
one Brown Leghorns, 2 Silver Wy
andottes, 5 Black Orpingtons, one
Black Hamburgs,, one Langshans
and one Minorcas. The lowest pen
was 800, Silver Wyandottes.
The weather conditions were in
the main unusually favorable, and in
this respect presented marked con-
trast to the previous years exper-
ience. The two competitions were
controlled by separate committees of
management.
Both competitions were not carried
out in all respects under exactly
similar conditions. and in the points
in which they differed poultry-keep-
ers will probably be able to make
comparisons useful to themselves.
In the first place, the climatic con-
ditions and locality were all in favor
of Rockdale. as the sustained bleak,
cutting winds in winter and the fierce
heat in summer were much more
severe at the Hawkesbury. The
houses at Rockdale, too, were the
more warmly constructed. In the
matter Of the pens, the experiences
at the two headquarters open up a
question which will provide food for
thought for the practical commercial
poultry farmer which were more
conclusive to good results, the bare
sand pens, loft. 4Oft., at Rockdale,
or the lift. x 87ft. well-grassed pens
at the College? The first impulse
would be to unhesitatingly pronounce
the latter infinitely superior. But
it is question of vast Importance,
and upon it we prefer to reserve our
judgment with an open mind for
more conclusive evidence. Some
will say that the grassed pen is the

In mating up your breeding pens,
select your birds with the aid of the
standard, the book which you
should have by heart, as far as your
speciality is concerned. Great care
is necessary in selecting your Male
bird, as he is half your breeding pen.
First see that the blood lines are
good. When you are compelled to
select Male with some defects,
try to balance this in your females.
See that each individual specimen
placed in your breeding pen not only
contains no glaring defects, but
good in all points. 1t pays better to
breed from four or five hens that
are extra choice than to breed from
ten or fifteen that contain a few
choice hens and some ordinary
specimens. With pens well mated,
we have had good start toward |
success but we cannot succeed with |
out our stock from the chick to Ex-
hibition hall the hest of care.
AS to winter layers, we think they |
have no equal the year round. To i
get eggs in winter, you need a tight |
house with plenty of sunlight. We
all agree that it takes summer con-
ditions Ito produce eggs in quantity] !

ditions with the curtain front

feed never can have, regardless c

feed never can have, regardless OF
land values.
The silo should be as common on
the farms of the great stockraising
and dairy states as corn-cribs are now.
The annual job of filing the silo
should be as much factor of farming
as the periodical return of the fresh
ing machine
Silage is better for COWS than hay.
1t is better for steers than dry fodder.
1t is excellent for sheep, horses and
hogs 1t is more economical than
shredded fodder.
Before fall comes, we hope many of
our readers will determine to build
a silo. Begin early to investigate this
matter and be sure you know what
you are about before you build. Get
the valuable experience of others and
avoid mistakes. The silo is not a
cure-all. 1t has been doomed in an
extravagant manner by some of it's en-
thusiasts. Do not expect too much
Of it. The silo is good thing in
the possession of sensible man. The
small per cent of gains due to the
feeding of silage is worth considering.
Prosperity doesn't come so much from
great profits as from saving the little
losses, stopping the little leaks, and
using the small helps. The silo is no
marvel or wonder. It is as sensible
building as the corncrib or granary.
1t is even more economical.

GROUND AND CUT ALFALFA

The Colorado experiment station has
completed an experiment in which a
comparison between alfalfa cut in
lengths of half an inch and alfalfa
ground was made in the fattening of
pigs. It required ATT pounds of corn
and alfalfa, mixed at the rate of three
pounds of corn to one of alfalfa to
produce one pound of grain, while 4.S1
pounds of corn and ground alfalfa
mixed in proportion of three parts of
corn to one of alfalfa were eaten for
one pound of grain, not counting la
Dor. With cut alfalfa costing So a ton
and ground alfalfa at SIC ton, the
cost of producing 100 pounds of gain
with the former was 1882, and with
the ground alfalfa $3.12. With corn
and cut alfalfa fed in equal parts by
weight, the cost Of producing 100
pounds of gain was $2.72 With corn
aud ground alfalfa fed III equal parts
by weight, the cost was $500 These
results go to show, says the report

THE sILo

The wonder is that so few stockmen
use silage when it is well established
that 1t is the cheapest form of rough
age grown under almost all condi-
tons. The time was when land was
SO cheap that roughage was cheaply
produced. But in most sections that
has passed. The farmers must begin
to consider a cheaper feed than hay
The value of silage is not alone in
the cheaDness of the fodder it con-
tains but it has value that dry

tells us to give the horse grass, in
any part of his daily ration. Nature
tells that the only real and proper
feed of the horse is the things that he
gets in fields and pastures, and while
We can not depend upon grass as a
feed to give strength to do great work
on, we can depend upon it to give tone
and strength to the digestive system
and to purify and get the blood in can
d1tion and bear the heat of the hot
season.
Grass is better than condition pow
ders and cheaper than stock food and
fully as nutritious. OF course you
should be careful when a horse has
been on dry feed for six months to not
let him have too much the first few
days, and he should as much as pos.
sible be grassed before feeding him
grain.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-07-12

Of the experiment, that at the prices
quoted cut alfalfa is more economical
to feed than ground alfalfa, and that
a ration consisting of three-fourths
corn and one-fourth alfalfa is cheaper
than one consisting of half corn and
half cut alfalfa for fattening pigs.
Grinding alfalfa is an expensive pro-
cess, and it is doubtful If machinery
can be improvised which will grind
it as cheaply as 1t can be ground by
animals.
