was figured at $3.50 per ton compared
with prairie hay and alfalfa each at
Sc per ton. The snapped corn cost
IS cents per bushel of so pounds, and
that fed on the stalk, unhusked, was
figured at 81 cents. The results were
slightly in favor of feeding as much
corn as is possible on the stalk, though
this is the first experiment covering
this particular question and other
tests should be made, as is intended,
to make it at all conclusive. Other
comparisons in the experiment, mas
much as they agree with former re-
suits, would seem to make the follow
ing deductions safe, viz, ID that
prairie hay and corn without further
supplements is an unsatisfactory COM
bination both from the viewpoint OF
gains and that of profit; (2) that al
falfa and corn are capable of giving
large gains without additional foods,
but that the substitution of corn-sto-
yer which has been cut and shocked
Immediately after the ears ripen may
be substituted for half of the alfalfa
with greater economy because of the
low market value in the corn belt OF
such roughness.-H. R. Smith, Ne

Hog Notes

Are the hogs lousy? If so get after
them as suggested for mango.
The fall pigs should be coming now.
Don't neglect them for you may need
the money next spring.
Just watch those slab-sided hogs fill
out when fall pastures revive and corn
is added to their ration.
Fall rye and winter wheat will make
pasture for hogs until snow covers
it. 1t takes quite freeze to kill
rape.
Begin rather slowly on new corn.
If the corn is fed green while the stalk
is fresh and the grain in the milk
and kept up until the corn is mature
there is little danger.
The only way there is any money
in fall pigs is to have a warm dry
place to winter them in. Then they
will grow right along and be ready
to market in May or June.
If the hogs are naked and rough
skinned look out for mango. Dip
them few times, and disinfect the
shed and burn the old bedding. Don't
harbor the disease anyother week.
Keep the fall pigs growing. A good
rich slop of ground grain and tank
age, if no skim milk is fed, once a
day and an ear of corn once day
will, with pasture, keep them on the
gain.
New corn does not give hogs chol
era 1t only throws their whole sys
tenn SO completely out Of order when
not fed with caution that disease can
not be resisted by the hogs. If chol
era germs are about they find suit

year. There is a temptation to LEI
them go and use young sows. 1t is &
bad practice. Keep sow as long az
she is any good. How many have
sows ten years old? Only a few breed
ers who know their business.

New Use for Skim Milk

Science has discovered new use
for skim milk which is likely to more
than double it's value and rob the
calves and pigs. Galaith, is the name
of the new composition discovered by
French scientists, made from the
casein of milk. Galalith is plastic
substance made by a process which
has been patented. 1t is produced
from skim milk. About Sixty-four
quarts of skim milk is required to pro-
duce 2.2O pounds of the new material.
This substance may be made in all
colors. Excellent limitations OF tortoise
shell, amber, coral ebony and horn
are produced. 1t possesses decided
advantage over celluloid, being odor-
less and absolutely non-infiammable,
as it contains no camphor nor SINH
lar ingredients. 1t resembles norm IN
hardness and can be worked IN
similar manner, taking high polish
Neither oils, ether nor benzine affects
it. Because of it's many advantages
over celluloid it is coming into favor
with manufacturers of toilet artlcles.
d To the manufacturers it is sold IN
rough. unpublished state in plates or
rods and at prices varying from 40 70
10 cents pound, according to condl-
ton and quality of the material IN
tended for various uses.
A factory has been established just
outside Paris for its manufacture, ana
the same concern has another factory
in Germany and other works In va.
rious places for the separation OF
casein from milk. The production OF
this material in connection with Amer
lean dairy products is a possibility OF

crops. The farmer sells to the Ger
man Speritus trust at AZ cents per
gallon. After the wholesale and re-
tailers' profit have been added the
Speritus trust sells at a price that
enable the consumer to purchase at
29 cents per gallon, or 13 cents below

ment pays the Speritus trust bonus
equal to the tax on ordinary alcohol.
Thus the farmer and the consumer
both profit by the government rebate.

The Cream Separator

It has become a well settled convic-
ton that a good cream separator IS
one of the essential things in profitable
dairying. This is found to be SO in
two phases of the business.
1. In the increased saving OF
cream and more butter.
2. In feeding the pure sweet skim
milk
A dairyman who began three years
ago with six cows, and has increased
the number to %, says he saves IN
the two ways named enough to buy
two separators year, and that his
separator has cost him in repairs only
$3.50 in nearly three years.

Poultry Notes

The buggy shed isn't just the place
for a hen roost. If the hen house is
so filthy and nit infested that they
prefer to roost on buggy wheel then
the house needs cleaning up a bit
1t is questionable if the waste the
chickens pick UP around the hangers
is greater than the waste they create
by befouling the hangers so stock will
not eat their feed.
Begin to teach the young poultry
to roost in the house Be sure the
house is a fit place or they will not
take kindly to it. They prefer a
breezy tree top to poor steers. You
get paid for the kind you sell.

periments carried on at that station
during the past winter.
The experiment entitled, Rough
ness supplementary to corn for two
year-old steers" is a continuation of
the series begun three years ago to
compare the efficiency Of three forms
of noughness common in Nebraska,
viz, alfalfa, prairettttttetaoshrdlueta
viz, alfalfa, prairie hay, corn-stover,
when each is fed in connection with
corn. The last winters experiment
deviates slightly from former tests
in certain particulars; the corn was
all fed as snapped corn rather than
shelled and the period of feeding was
but tree months instead of six, dur
ing which time grain was used spar
ingly and roughness literally, the cat
tie being finished in a second expert
ment in which heavy grain rations
were used.
In the experiment with snapped corn
Gears in the shuck, or husk) the
roughness in each lot was as follows:
Lot 1, prairie hay; lot 2, prairie and
alfalfa hay; lot g. alfalfa; lot 4, corn
slower (stalks without ears); lot 5,
corn-stover and alfalfa; and lot 6.
corn-fodder (stalks with ears attach
ed) and alfalfa. AS in the two for
mer tests, ten steers were fed in each
lot and these were selected to make
the several lots as uniform as pos
sible The steers were two year old
grade Shorthorns and Herefords.
The steeds fed snapped corn and
alfalfa hay made the largest gains,
amounting to 2.06 pounds per day,
average for the three months, while
those on snapped corn, alfalfa and
prairie hay gained 2.01 pounds per
day; those on snapped corn, alfalfa
and slower, 1876 pounds; those on corn
fodder and alfalfa, 1S1 pounds. while
the steers fed snapped corn and
prairie hay gained but LIZ pounds per
day and those fed snapped corn and
slower 1.02 pounds per day. 1t will
thus be seen that in each case where
alfalfa formed part or all of the
rougness the gains were materially in
creased This accords with former
experiments and emphasizes further
the Importance of supplying in the
ration all the nutrients needed. AL
falfa, being high in protein, supplies

only were larger gains made in the
lots fed alfalfa, but much less corr

But the vital thing for the consid

Preparing Ducks for Market

The best success in marketing ducks
is to market them when they are
about two months old. They should
be pushed rapidly on feed from the.
time they are Matched until they are
sent to market. Do not allow them
to have water to battle in, but they
should have plenty of water for drink
ing and an abundance of dry feed.
When dressing ducks and geese they
should be scalded in the same temper
AZURE of water as for other kinds of
poultry, but it will require longer
time for the water to penetrate and
loosen thief Gathers, especially with
old ducks. Do not SINCE the body to
remove the down or the hair. If this
| is done the flame will give them an
oily and unsightly appearance. After
| the feathers are picked clean they
should be held in scalding water for
| ten seconds so as to make them plump,
then rinse off in cold water.

DISAGREEMENT LIKELY.
Congress Cannot Get Together cl
Meat inspection Amendment.

washington, June 27.-The meat in
al bill probably will be returned to the
senate and house in disagreement.
The cOnferees twice had it under dis
cussion Thursday and indications are
that the differences in regard to the
payment for inspection by the pack
ers Or by the government, or whether
the date of inspection must be placed
on cans of meat are irreconciliable
Another effort to get together will be
made. complete agreement was
reached on all other matters in the
bill.
Practically all the important amend
ments concerning the usual features
of the agricultural bill were accepted
by the house conferees. These amend
ments include appropriations of $780,.
600 for the establishment at points of
export, laboratories to examine and
report upon the nature, quality and
condition of seed or grain, to serve as
basis for the fixing of definite
grades, and $4,000 for investigating
the insect known as the white fly"
which affects orange growers.
Amendments were retained proyd-
ing that 10 per cent of all money re-
ceived from each forest reserve each
year shall be paid to the state or ter
ritories in which the reserves are
situated to be expended for the bene-
fit Of the public schools and roads:
also the amendment for an investiga-
tion of the effect of cold storage upon
the healthfulness of foods. The
amendment providing for an investi-
cation of the feet of selling undrawn
fowls was struck out, as was also the
appropriation of $4,000 for nutrition
Investigations, on the grounds that
these matters are covered by the pure
food bill. Another amendment elimi-
mated was that which provided for an
investigation of crops best adapted to
irrigated districts. The house pro-
vision to originate improved varieties
OF tobacco and change in the meth
DDS of supplying tobacco to foreign
countries was struck out by the SEN
ate and to this the house conferees

THE packers will welcome any
good inspection law and any sugges-
ton for Improvement. The better the
laws, the better they will suit the
packers. All the talk about discredit-
ing the packing business of this coun-
try was unnecessary and above all I'M
true. The packers have tried every
year to improve their facilities and
make advances generally"

ment in which he said one of the
largest American industries has been
attacked and attacked without a rea-
son, in a way that has discredited
American goods Of all description All

only a slight trace of lameness and
looked the picture of health.

lated here that our daughter had not
improved under Professor Lorenz's
treatment. Anyone who looks at the
child today will see that they are un-
true"
