Illinois has taken step forward in
horse growing. The Legislature OF
that State passed law prohibiting
owners from standing stations for
public service without a certificate OF
soundness from some licensed veter-
marian. As like produces like, the
inhibition of unsound stations from
the breeding ranks of the horse in
dustry Of Illinois will greatly assist
breeders in improving the quality and
soundness of horses. Several other
States have stallion inspection laws
to eliminate unsound breeding ami
mails from the horse industry, and
the action Of Illinois will greatly as
sist in the movement to improve the
horses of the country.-Indiana

One OF the best methods OF man
aging the COW stable is to scatter
about a pint of phosphate every day

Hoard's Dairyman. Sprinkle a little

come In contact with the urine and
the balance on top Just before hauling
out of the stable. Sprinkle 1t also
in the calf stables. hog pens AMI poul-
try roosts. Hogs were found eagerly
eating Ii when sprinkled on their

indicate that they felt the need Of this
element in their food. Phosphate en-

Some years ago Professor James
Dryden delivered an address before
the Utah Farmers Institute, from
which this extract is worthy of re-
publication:
A short study of the composition
of wheat and of eggs will explain
why profitable egg yield cannot be
expected from wheat alone. Suppos-
ing you feed hen which weighs 3.5
pounds, 1926 ounces of wheat a day
OF course hen of that weight would
not long consume that weight of
wheat alone. Surprising, further.
that the hen uses 2.75 ounces of that
for the maintenance of the body;
that leaves half an ounce to be con-
verted into eggs. assuming that all
the food is digested, which of course
is not the case. In half an ounce Of
wheat there is about .06 Of an ounce
Of protein. So that. assuming that
the hen consumes and digests 3.35
ounces Of wheat per day, and that
she uses 2.75 ounces of that for
maintenance Of the body, there is
available each day Just one-fourth
enough protein for an egg. In other
words. it will take four days to get
the necessary amount of protein for
an egg. But the egg has other con-
stituents; so has wheat. The halt
ounce of wheat contains about one
and one-half times as much carbo-
hydrates and fat as one egg contains.
The hen fed on wheat alone has
surplus of one material and de.
iiciency of another. In other words,
she has enough carbohydrates and
fat to make an egg and half day,
but has only protein enough to make
one egg in six days. You place the
hen in an awkward position by feed
ing her wheat alone. Wheat does not
contain the egg making materials in
proportion Corn Is even worse than
wheat In tbs respect.
