A lack of ash is the chief fault that
can be found with the corn byprod-
ucts, such as germ oil meal and gluten
feed. For this reason these feeds are
not so valuable for milk cows and
young stock, although they are all
right for fattening animals. Oil and
cottonseed meals contain more ash
than the corn products, but not so
much as tankage. They are usually
a cheap source Of protein. Oilmeal is
especially valuable for keeping the
system in tone, the bowels loose and
the coat sleek and glossy. Cottonseed
meal should never be fed to hogs, as
they often die from eating it.
There is nothing better than clover
pasture to balance the ration of fat
ten1ng swine. Glover pasture, with
perhaps a small allowance Of grain, is
nm ideal feed for milk cows, calves
and colts. The little pigs win learn to
eat It also, but will need considerable
grain and skimmilk in addition If
they are to make rapid gains. Clover
hay and corn is ration for fattening
cattle and sheep that cannot be beat
an. Glover hay and silage with lit
tie corn and oilmeal added is a first
class winter feed for dairy cattle.
Even for horses clover hay, If not
dusty, is the best Of roughage. It's
liberal use for all classes of stock
will reduce the cost of feeding and
add to the profits. So It Is evident that
the wise farmer will not neglect to
provide clover pasture that Is ample

n N order that the feeds fed to stock
may be used to the best possible
advantage it is necessary that
they should be Of the proper
kinds and fed in the proper amounts.
One of the important things to take
Into account in determining the value
OF feeding stuff is it's digestibility.
Some feeds, such as oat straw, are not
more than 80 per cent digestible, while
In the case of the corn grain over 80
per cent is used by the animal. Feeds
with high percentage of digestibility,
Ike the grains, are called concentrates,
While those with large amount of in
d1gestible crude fiber are called rough
feeds.
Every animal must have a certain
Amount of roughage; otherwise the
grain would lie in the stomach in a
heavy, sodden mass, which could hard
~ be penetrated by the digestive
juices, and indigestion would be sure
to result. The crude fiber, while in
d1gestible in itself, dilutes the more
concentrated feeds and greatly hastens
the process Of digestion. The rumi-
nants are able to obtain large share
OF their feed from roughage. Horses
use considerable, though owing to
their smaller stomach they cannot use
as large quantities as cattle do. Swine
are usually regarded as grain eating
animals, yet they, too, do better for
having some roughage. Mature hogs
will maintain themselves on a good
rape or clover pasture without any
grain at all, and fattening swine will
make greater gain if fed on pasture.

FIG. XXVII-THERE IS NO FOOD BETTER
THAN MILK FOR YOUNG ANIMALS.
In winter, when pasture Is not availa-
bic, hogs will eat considera BILE amounts
Of clover or alfalfa hay If they can
get it and will be healthier and make
better gains for having it.
Another important quality in a feed
stuff is it's palatability. Stock will
make greater gains on feeds that they
like, even though they contain no
more nutritive material than those
that are not so palatable. Closely re-
lated to palata bility is succulence or
juciness. Cows give large flow Of
milk on pasture not so much because
of it's high feeding value, but because
of its succulence and palatability.
Stock Of any kind will not make the
best use Of their feed if given moth
ing but dry hay and grain
The most satisfactory means Of pro-
viding succulent and palatable feed
during the winter is by the use Of the
silo. Silage has high feeding value
and is cheap, since from eight to
twelve tons can be raised on an acre.
It finds it's greatest use as feed for
dairy COWS, but also makes profita-
BILE addition to the ration of nearly
all classes Of stock.
The most important point to consid-
er in preparing a ration is the rela-
tive proportion Of the different con-
stituents. Fats and carbohydrates
are interchangeable and can be con-
sidered together, since they both go
to furnish heat and energy or to build
up animal fat. Neither Of these sub
of protein, since neither of them con-
tains nitrogen. To build up the mus
cles, organs and other parts of the
body which require this element con-
siderable protein must be fed The
ordinary feeds found on the farm
contain too little protein in proportion
to the other substances. To secure
that is, one in which the amount Of
protein is in the proper proportion to
the amounts Of fats and carbohy-
drates-must be fed.
1t can readily be seen that what is a
balanced ration for one class of stock
may not be for another. Young calves,
colts and pigs require more protein
and ash in their food than do mature
animals. A work horse needs large
amounts of fat and carbohydrates to
supply him with energy, but he also
needs considerable protein to repair
his muscles, which wear out very
rapidly. A fattening steer needs only
a minimum amount Of protein, since
he is neither growing nor using his
muscles. A milk COW needs great
deal Of protein and ash to use in max
ing milk, together with liberal
amount Of the other constituents, to
supply energy and to make into but
ter fat A pregnant animal is in espe-
cial need of protein and ash to use in
building up the bones and flesh Of its
offspring. All animals need larger
quantities Of the heat forming ele-
ments in the winter In order to keep
the body warm.
Another Important point, one that
must not be lost sight Of in preparing
rations for any class of stock, is the
cost. It makes no difference how d.
kestible, palatable or well balanced a
Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1909-04-29

ration may be nor how rapid gains 1t
will produce. if those gains are put on
at too great an expense the feeding
operations will result in loss. For the
last two years. for instance, bran and
shorts have been so high in price that
it is doubtful if they could be fed at
profit. Fran produces large milk
flow when fed to COWS, but silage and
clover hay are just as good and cost
only fraction as much.
The question Of how much a farmer
can afford to spend for concentrated
byproducts is always a perplexing
one. Something is needed to balance
the corn, which is the principal feed
on most farms. If nothing else is fed
with corn it will not be thoroughly
digested and much of the nutriment
which it contains will be wasted.
When corn is cheap this does not mat
ter so much, but when the price goes
up to so or 60 cents a bushel it be-
comes an important consideration.
This applies not only to corn, but to
other grains as well, since all contain
an excess of carbohydrates and fat.
Oats come the nearest to being a bal
anced ration Of any farm grain, but
they are usually too expensive to be
fed exclusively. Mixing oats with corn
does not make balanced ration, since
the oats have scarcely enough protein
to balance their own carbohydrates
and fats. Another factor which must
be taken into consideration is the
health Of the animals This will surely
suffer If they are compelled to live
long on single kind Of feed, especial
ly one that is as low in protein as corn
Is.
When grain is high in price the saw
ing effected by the purchase of some
supplementary feed rich in protein
will usually much more than pay the
cost. In buying feed to balance corn
or other grain the chief consideration
should be the amount of digestible
protein which it contains. Ash is also
important, especially if it is to be fed
with corn, which is low in ash. By
dividing the price per ton Of feed by
the number of pounds of digestible
protein in ton the price per pound
Of protein is easily determined. Thus
the comparative cost of protein in the
different byproducts can be figured
out and the one used which will fur
nish It in the cheapest form.
For hogs there is probably no better
or cheaper source of protein than tank
age or meat NEAL A ration Of one
part Of this to ten parts Of corn is an
ideal .one for fattening hogs. For
growing pigs the amount of tankage
should be doubled and some skimmilk
added if It can be obtained Milk is
an almost perfect food for all young
stock, and the farmer who has large
supply of it has big part of his feed
ing problem solved.
Another feed that is Invaluable for
young pigs and calves is dried blood
or blood -four. Nothing else will stop
scours so quickly nor do so much to-
ward starting along an unthrifty pig
or calf. A heaping teaspoonful to
feed is enough for a young calf, with
proportionate amounts for the pigs.
The reason that these packing house
byproducts are especially valuable for
young animals is because of the large
amount of ash which they contain.
The use of such feeds insures strong
bones and healthy, vigorous animals

ALMOST ENGAGE ENGINEER
Decide at Meeting to Begin at Once
Collection of Money Subscribed
for Survey.

While no engineer was engaged 1T
the meeting of the farmers interurban
committee at Buffalo Prairie last night,
the terms of A. c. Harrington of IN
dianapolis were practically accepted.
Mr.. Harrington. who was present, was
assured that if inquiries that have
been made in regard 70 his standing
were satisfactorily answered he would
be given the contract
1t was voted to begin at once the
collection of about $4,000, which has
been subscribed to pay for the survey
between this city and Muscatine,
through the rich farming territory Of
the lower end of this county. Mr.
Harrington, if engaged will proceed
at once with the work. and will proba-
bly, have his data ready before spring.
Accept Invitation from Here.
The letter from the Rock Island
special inteTurban committee inviting
the Buffalo Prairie men to meet with
the local body and expressing the in
terest felt here in the project was
read and it was voted to come to this
city for a conference next Tuesday
evening. if that date is satisfactory.
So far as is known the date meets
with approval here.

$4,000 IN TRUST
Money Of People Who Left No

in the County.
IS HELD BY THE TREASURER
Most OF 1t Has Been in Keeping by
That Office 40 Years-May
Make Use OF It.

In going over the county treasurer's
books the auditing committee of the
board of supervisors has discovered
that there are $4,000 in Rock Island
banks that is in the custody of Rock
Island county. While the various
county treasurers have been aware
that this sum was on deposit, mem
bers of the board of supervisors did
not know of its existence.
This money is what is known as a
trust fund.-" and consists Of money
left by people who have died and lett
deposit was made in 1860. The bulk
of the aggregate amount has been on
deposit for nearly 40 years, though
there have been small additions in re-
cent years. AS this was q trust fund,
the county treasurers are not required
to account for it before the super
vtsors, and it was only by chance that
the deposit was discovered by board
members. ;-tH
County May Use Funds.
The money Is held in trust by the
county, and II at any time heirs ap-
pear on the scene they can claim what
is due them. The money has been ac-
cumulating for AZ years and no claims
have been entered. The supervisors
have taken steps to learn If the money
can be usd by the county.
The matter has been referred TO the
states attorneys office to look up the
law governing the deposit The super
vtsors would like to know If they can
use any part OF the principal or the in
terest- They would also like to know
II there is any time limit as to how
long this money shall be held, and for
what purpose it is to be used if no
claimants appear.

The month of November was the
warmest known since the establish
ment of the local weather station at
Davenport, and that was in 1871. 1t
averaged Al degrees, which is degrees
above the normal in 3S years. This
gives an accumulated excess in temper
AZURE since Jan. l of 336 degrees,
which reminds us that there must be
some pretty cool days this month if
1909 is to go down in history as an av-
erage year in the matter of tempera-
ture.
The highest temperature last month
was 70 on the 18th and the lowest Il
on the 18th. The greatest daily range
was 35 degrees on the 14th and the
least was on the 10Th.
wettest since 1879.
Not only was November warm, but it
broke all records in the amount of
precipitation since 1879. The total
rainfall was 1872 inches, an excess of
2.04 above the average in 80 years. In
1879 the precipitation was 40. Last
