ECONOMY I'm Feeding.

Ear corn and clover hay proved to
be the most efficient ration used in
test in economy of grain, rate of gain
and profit per steer, conducted by the
Indiana station. Ear corn, shredded
slower and oat straw, supplemented
with linseed meal, proved to be more
efficient than ear corn, shredded stover
and oat straw in economy Of grain.
rate of gain and profit per steer. A
ration of ear corn, shredded stover
and oat straw was not eff
cient, economical or profitable. The
addition of some heterogeneous food
stuff, either in the form of con-
centrate or roughage, added TO the eff
cheney of the ration aud to the profit
of the feeder.
The value and Importance Of clover
hay for fattening cattle was clearly
demonstrated. Linseed meal proved to
be an efficient and profitable supple
ment when fed with ear corn, shredded
stoyer and oat straw. The steers re
ceiving ration of ear corn, shredded
SslNtI anu Odl SlIdWt supplemented
with linseed meal, were as well finish
ed as those receiving ear corn and
clover hay, although they made smaller
gains The steers receiving ration
of ear corn, shredded stoyer and oat
straw without the linseed meal were
not comparable with the other two lots
In finish, rate of gain or profit
The narrower the ration in this test
the greater was the daily consumption
OF dry matter per 1000 pounds live
weight. The total amount of dry matter
consumed daily per steer, the rate Of
gain and the cost of gain were greatest
when the cattle were ON full feed. The
hogs following the steers fed on ear
corn and clover made the greatest
gain. A comparison of the different
rations fed in the test shows that the
most rapid gains were the cheapest and
most profitable.

The details Of irrigation depend upon
the size and contour of the field to be
irrigated Many of the fields are ar
ranged so that the rows are from one
fourth to one-half mile long. If the
land slopes sufficiently and continuous
ly across the field from the supply
ditch, the problem is simple. At the
first application the water is turned
into lateral at the head OF the rows.
A canvas dam Is placed in the lateral
so as TO hold the water back and raise
IT. into the rows, says a Colorado bulle-
tin. After the water has run in these
rows sufficient length Of time to thor
oughly wet the soil, the canvas dam is
pulled out and reset further down the
lateral, and the water is stopped by
blocking the heads of the irrigated
rows with soil In large fields the wa
ter is run in alternate rows only.
The head of water let into the rows
depends upon the slope and length Of
rows. II the rows are short and the
incline steep, the head must be small
or the stream VIII reach lue IdT SIDE
so quickly that enough water will not
be used to thoroughly wet the soil. On
the other hand, II the rows are long
and the land nearly level the head of
water Is increased so as 10 force II
along the rows faster, or a transverse
ditch is cut through the middle of the
field so as to shorten the distance that

along at their top and irrigating is done
both ways from 1t. When the water
has run In the bitches till 1t seeps

cation the water Is run in the rows rot
irrigated the first time. AS the vines
become large, the irrigation becomes
more difficult, owing to the lodging OF
the vines in the bitches, till at last con-
siderable trouble is sometimes expert
enced to get the water through. On the
other hand, as the vines grow larger

skim nIiIk For Hens.

The Department Of Agriculture has
received a report from the West Vir-
ginia Experiment Station of test
made to determine the value of skim
milk as against water for wetting a
feed mash.
In the first test, which covered 122
days, twenty-five hens fed skim milk
laid 1,244 eggs, as compared with 800
eggs laid by the twenty-five hens fed
mash wet with water.
In the first period of the second test,
sixty hens fed the skim milk ration
laid $50 eggs in thirty days, as
compared with 632 eggs laid by sim
liar lot fed no skim milk. In the sec
ond period the rations were reversed,
The chickens fed skim milk laid 1,220
eggs in ifty-six days, as compared with
97S In the case of the lot fed no skim
milk. IN both experiments more eggs
were produced when skim milk was
substituted for water for moistening
the mash. Under the conditions pre-
vaillng in these experiments and with
eggs selling for 20 or % cents per dozen
the skim milk used for moistening the
mash had feeding value of from ia
to 2 cents per quart. In these trials
S02 quarts of skim milk were fed, re-
sulting in an increase In the egg pro-
duction of 702 eggs.
