~ The old man had found a
seat upon fallen tree that lay upon
sunny hillside and was carefully
smoothing and shaping a cane he had
cut near by. He held it up as he
spoke and let his eye run along its
length as if to discover its irregulari-
ties, but his gaze wandered quite be-
yond the stick to the valley and river
below, where stood the great mill. with
its tall, blackened chimneys and mass

ration may be nor how rapid gains it
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
1t is doubtful if they could be fed at
a profit. Bran produces large milk
flow when fed to cows, but silaCe and
clover hay are just as good and cost
only a fraction as much.
The question of how much a farmer
can afford to spend for concentrated
byproducts is always 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 bushel 1t 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 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 a 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 meal 4 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 a
feed is enough for 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

VI \ order that the feeds fed to stock
E may be used to the best possible
81 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 a feeding stuff is it's. digestibility.
more than 80 per cent digestible. while
in the case of the corn grain over 90
per cent is used by the animal Feeds
with a high percentage of digestibility.
like the grains, are called concentrates.
while those with a large amount of in
digestible crude fiber are called rough
feeds.
EVERY amman must nave a CERTAIN
amount of roughage; otherwise the
grain would lie in the stomach in a
heavy, sodden mass, which could hard
ly be penetrated by the digestive
juices, and indigestion would be sure
to result. The crude fiber, while in
digestible in itself, dilutes the more
concentrated feeds and greatly hastens
the process of digestion. The rumi-
nants are able to obtain a 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

RosIn AND TuRPENTINE.


Rosln and turpentine, known tech
nically as naval stores from the fac
that for many years their principa
uses we're maritime, are produced
from two species OF Southern pine
the long leaf and the Cuban, but
It is quite probable that number o.
other species will be employed within
the next twenty-five years The croI
OF naval stores. including four and
quarter million pounds Of rosin and
sixteen and a quarter million casks
Of spirits Of turpentine. has an ap-
proximate annual value to those en-.
gagged In II OF at least thirty million
dollars. For how many centuries
commercial use has been made Of the
sap Of the pine cannot be determined
with any degree Of assurance. but the
custom was general In South France
at the time Of the invasion Of Eng
land by the Spanish Armada. For
many years the industry was confined
to the south Of France and Austria,
where It still nourishes on a small
scale, and It was not until a hundred
years ago that intelligent effort was
made to establish 1t ON this continent.
For fifty years or so the Carolinas and
virginias were the chief turpentine-
States, but with the opening
up Of the pine forests OF Georgia the
scene Of operations was gradually
shifted Southwark, until before very
long Georgia. had become the cente,
Of the industry. At the present time
Florida is IN the lead, with Georgia
and Alabama a close second and third.
The depletion OF FIorida's forests,
however, Is gradually extending the
.urpentine area westward, and 1t is
lutte possible IN twenty-five years
ime Louisiana. Mississippi and Texas
viii be in the lead.
