Hoffman and issued the last
week of December 1911, this arm
ticle will be of some value toll
every man who cares for his
stock. Letter No. Al gives the
average analysis that the feeds
named therein, should have, to
be classed as good feeds; this
letter attempts to apply the
commonplace to the terms used
in the analysis, so the feeder
may profit thereby.
The constituents required to
he guaranteed under the Arkan-
Isas Law are: Crude Protein,
Crude Fat, Carbohydrates and
Crude Fibre, and are the. most
important from a standpoint OF
nutrition.
Protein.
Protein is the constituent OF
food which forms muscle, bone,
hair, flesh, ligaments and other
like portions of the animal. 1t
lis the only food substance con-
tanning nitrogen and is abso-
llutely necessary to animal life.
lit replaces the wear and tear Of
the animal tissue and furnishes
material for additional flesh.
The term flesh in this connec
ton must not be confounded
with fat, flesh is the muscle and
tissue produced, while fat is q
stored product for future ener-
gy. With an excess of protei5
accompanied by q deficiency il
carbohydrates, it may be used
as a producer of fat, but it is 9
costly source of fat. VALUE
OF PROTEIN: Protein is the
most expensive portion of
food. With a given food, the
more protein it contains, the
better it's quality, however, the
value of a feed cannot be deter
mined, by the percentage OF
protein alone, it is necessary to-
consider the percentages of fat
and carbohydrates.
Fat.
Fat, in the case of concentrat-
ed feeding stuffs, is the oily
substance, principally in the
seeds of the grain, but in the
case of folders and hays it is
often composed to considera- i
bic extent of wakes, colorlng
matter, etc. Fat is used in the
animal body as a source of ener-
~ and when supplied in excess
IF that required, it is deposited !
in the tissues in the form OF
body fat Fat produces almost
three times the amount of heat
that protein or carbohydrates
produce. VALUE OF FAT:
Fat ranks next to protein mi
point of value in feeding
stuff. The more protein and
fat a given feed-stuff con-
tains, the better it's qualityI
as compared with other feed Of /
he same kind. Two feeds of
different kinds cannot be con
pared on the basis Of their
.ent of protein and fat.
Carbohydrates.

The man who is in the hog bust
ness should take special pains to
grow alfalfa, because in no other way
can he supply protein feed to his
brood sows so cheaply. Alfalfa pas
ture is the best hog forage that has
yet been found. but in territory where
alfalfa is new and hard to get 1t is
doubtful whether the swine raiser can
afford to pasture it. He would better
cut it and cure it carefully for winter
use, to reduce the mfll-feed bill. than
to pasture his limited area Brood

Stephen Smith was q trainer OF

that he was innocent OF the charge

The retailing Of fresh vegetables
and small fruits il much the moot

ouce goes q long way in making and
holding custom. Vegetables for the
retail trade may be allowed to be-
come fully ripe; for the wholesale
market they must be gathered when
not quite ripe. Sweet corn for re-
failing should be gathered when in

before. Keep in cool cellar. If

White or Irish potatoes, freshly dug,
are drier and have better flavor than
those that have been dug and exposed

freshly grown vegetables will readily
give an extra price for such. In re
failing make it a point to sell out
the entire load: the last Of the load
may be sold to some provision dealer,
as 1t does not pay to bring 1t back
to the farm. Farmers far from mar

and fruits that are best suited to their
soil and climate and are most wanted.
1t is best to study the market and

MAKING HEN LAY IN WINTER
Oregon Agricultural College Asks
Poultrymen Why Profits Are Not
larQer-Some Of Replies.

The Oregon Agricultural college has
been asking poultrymen why profits
are not larger and out of 1913 answers
received the following replies: 81
said the problem was. how to get
eggs in winter; so. lice and mites:
Sc. raising the chickens: "a. hawks:
6. coyotes: "a. other vermin: 4. rains
or wet weather; 20. feeding; 9. hatch
ing; So. miscellaneous difficulties.
To make the hen lay in winter is
apparently the real problem: and yet
its solution depends upon the solu-
ton of other problems. 1t is not
merely a question of caring for or
making the hens lay. The problem
goes back to the making of the hen.
II the hen were made right there
would be little trouble in making her
lay. How to make the len lay in
winter resolves itself largely into a
question of making the hen.
To get profitable egg yield under
any conditions, the flock of layers
must be frequently renewed. The old
hen doesn't pay. For commercial
purposes it seldom pays to keep her
more thai tTo years. This means
that in a few years the farmer has
raised several generations of fowls.
and any mistake in the breeding or
raising is very soon evident To be
successful a poultry raiser must be
able to maintain offspring with the
same vigor and vitality as the parent:
otherwise there would soon be no
eggs in winter because of lack Of
constitutional vigor in the stock.

Few motorists there are who know
of motoring In all its fullness. They
drive along country roads for hum
dred miles or so. through towns so
closely set that they virtually run
through one long village. and they
think they have motored. They cross
the ocean and enjoy the perfect roads
Of France and Switzerland. and Inn
agine they have experienced all there
is in life in the motor car; but no one
has ever been brought to a full reali-
zation Of what motoring really is. or
what the wonderful modern machine
of mans creative genius is really cap
able of doing. until they have sat in a
racing car side by side with an ex-
pert driver and tasted the sport as it
is under such conditions. Lord Byron
once wrote: what delightful thing
is turnpike road, such a means of
speeding the earth as scarce the eagle
in the broad air can accomplish" He
certainly spoke in prophecy Of the
motor car. and especially of the racing
machine. which defles distance and
shrinks space into the most tiny pro-
rortions.-From the Columbian.

The story related that Mr.. Smith,

provocative of antagonism in that sec.
ton, Mr.. Smith had emerged from
among the dock hands without the
hat. Nevertheless, he carried out Of
the melee so many wounds, cuts, and
bruises that he had to be sent to the
