The Iowa experiment station has
been conducting series of expert
ments in feeding work horses 1t has
been found that oats are too expensive
to feed in large quantities and that the
ration may be greatly cheapened by
substituting oilmeal cottonseed meal
or gluten feed. The health, spirit and
endurance of the horses were the same
when fed corn in combination with
one of these feeds as when oats We're
fed. These experiments show that oil
meal may be worth as much as $50 a
ton for horse feeding and cottonseed
meal a little more.
The horses did hard summers
work on these feeds without any con-
siderable loss in flesh. These expert
ments are of great value to farmers
everywhere, as the question of feeding
the work horses eheaply and at the

There are two important things to

GET TING RID OF
(QllJACk GRASS GRASS.
A Farmers Successful Method
Of EradiGating the Pest.


A Minnesota farmer who has had an
intimate ACQUAINTANCE with quack
grass covering Il period Of about TWEEN
IT, years rid his land, six acres. Of the
pest ia the following manner: Begin
ming in 1905. he allowed the grass to
grow Until it blossomed, but before
any seed formed he cut the patch aud
made hay of it. He then plowed the
stubble under smoothly, using the disk
harrow to work up seed bed and
aiming to disturb the sod as little as
possible.
On this he sowed German miliet the
18th Of July. The seed came up well,
but owing to dry weather following
the lhillet did not do well. He turned
steers into pasture the patch in Oc-
tober and plowed the ground the latter
part of November In the spring Of
1909 the quack grass looked sick, but
soon began to take on life. He disked
the patch about once a week until the
middle of June, when he again plowed
it, narrowed it fine and drilled in a
peck and half of fodder corn to the
acre.
Last fall lie harvested three and a
half tons of dry fodder per acre, one
third of which had produced good
sound corn. The field is at present
completely controlled. and he says that
any kind of titled crop can now
be raised without any trouble from
quack Corn with thorough cultiva-
ton, in this farmers opinion, must en-
ter largely into any rotation whose
purpose is to kill out quack grass,
while disk tools should be used so far
as possible in the tilling of the soil
