BALANCED FEED
FOR LIVE STOCK
Few Farmers Understand Feed
ing and Medicinal Value of
Either Blood or Lin
seed Neal.
CBy E. c. GLITZKEO

Few farmers understand the feed
ing and medicinal value OF either
blood meal or linseed meal Perhaps
no other food contains the necessary
food element in such concentrated
form.
In order to be successful in their
use one must thoroughly understand
their composition. for the one is ex
actly opposite, both in medicinal and
food value. from the other.
Blood meal is a highly concen.
trated form of protein, that most val
liable of food elements-the part from
which animals receive their muscles.
1t is the main element that growing
stock should have in order to build UP
a strong constitution.
Where much corn is fed some blood
meal should be added in order &c
balance up the ration, for corn is very
rich in fat.
Such young stock as pigs. calves and
colts very often get the scours from
overlooking, but a few doses of blood
meal will correct the bowels at once
and carry the animal safely through
this dangerous disease.
In the case of very young stock
that follow their mother it should be
given to the dam and the young will
get the benefit of it through the milk.
In all other cases give it directly TO
the young stock in such quantities as
may be needed to suit the size of the
animal and severity of the case.
Linseed meal is exactly opposite in
all its properties. 1t has a tendency
to loosen the bowels, therefore it is
Linseed meal is very rich in fat-the
very valuable in cases of constipation
food element that gives heat and
energy to the stock.
Where any food deficient in fat is
fed to the stock quantity OF linseed
meal should be added to balance VI
the ration.
Handled calves are usually fed or
skinned milk. Now the fat of tn,
milk has been taken out by the sep
arator and therefore the protein re
mains in excess of all other elements
A small quantity of linseed meal fec
in the milk will balance up the ration
and make it practically as good as thu
whole milk.
In cases of constipation in yer,
young stock that follow their mothe
ii should be given to the dam, as thu
young will get the benefit of it through
the milk.
Where these two articles are KEEP
on hand \he farmer need have II,
fear of either constipation or scour
in his stock. for these two article
act exactly as described and no evi
results need be feared from thei
| constant use.

crude oil remains on the surface OF
the water, apd therefore does not es-
cape into thu outlet.
The wallow should be located near
the water supply, whether this con-
sists of tank or spring. If the water
is received from a tank, the wallow
may be emptied and refilled at inter
walls, the intake and outlet ordinarily
being kept closed. If the supply is
not limited the water may be allowed
to flow through the pool continuously.
Where necessary, provision should be
made for draining the outlet into the
nearest line Of tile.
The sectional view shown in figure
16 gives a good idea of the general
shape and construction of the wallow.
1t will be found convenient to make
the pool rectangular, with the rounded
corners, giving it depth of not over
IS inches. For the ordinary piggery
the pool should be Is to 20 feet long
and 100 feet wide. A concrete floor 4
feet wide should be laid around it to
prevent the hogs from burrowing OF
! carrying in mud.

sheaf oats are relished by the
horses.
DO not be in too much OF hurry
to wean the pigs.
Soft coal or charcoal is to the hog
as pie to the boy.
Cottonseed meal is not considered
good feed for swine.
An important part of hog raising is
to know just when to market.
Never go to bed without going down
to see how things are at the barn.
A hog cannot sleep comfortable in
draft of wind; he will catch cold very
easily.
1t is the gains that the lambs make
during the fall that determine the
feeders profits.
The few public tests of silage for
wintering beef COWS have given en-
phatically favorable results.
Hay troughs should be so fixed that
particles will not fall through and be-
come entangled in the fleece.
Oregon experiment station shows
that one acre of good clover for grow
ing hogs represents a value of S44.
Brood sows require a mixed diet,
and one containing plenty of protein
and not too much fattening quality.
Too many farmers kill their good
brood sows because of the temptation
to sell for the high prices. This is a
mistake.
Sheep are comfort lovers and the
man who neglects to provide them
with good, dry shelter makes a cost
ly error.
The pig, like every other young ami
NAL, loves to be alert and to be NOV
ing about with the freedom which be-
longs to such nature.
A spring pig will bring pigs the fol
lowing spring and will make better
growth and. as rule, prove more
profitable than fall pig.
While there is considerable invest
ment in the brood sows. still 1t pays
better to keep the good ones because
they will produce more uniform pigs
more of them and will raise them bet
ter.

The hog has been imposed upon
more or less by the expression "as
dirty as pig" for. if given an oppor-
tunity, no other animal about the farm
is more clearly within his abode than
is the porker. Being unable to per-
spire, the hog naturally suffers from
warm weather more than other anil
mails, and because of the lack of
cleaner place in which to cool his
body he takes to the mud.
The concrete hog wallow is an i'm
provement which every hog raiser
should consider an absolute necessity.
The hogs find great satisfaction in the
concrete wallow, lying down in the
water, excepting in quite cold weather.
The wallow proves a very practical
scheme for killing vermin when a
quantity of crude oil or other disin-
fectant is put in and the intake and
outlet stopped. This does away with
the expense of a dipping tank and
the trouble Of dipping. Many farmers
keep a small amount of oil in the wal
low at all times, which keeps the skin

cow MUST BE
KEPT COMMENTED
Dairy Animal Must be Catered
to II Best Results Are to
Be Secured Three
Essentials.

Among the factors that the country
man who feeds animals, whether for
growth or for product, finds OF basic
importance, are the following:
Individual preference on the part OF
the animal must be catered to If the
best returns are secured. The animals
must be satisfied. and their likes and
dislikes are almost as pronounced as
in the human family. Early stockmen,
and particularly those handling large
numbers OF animals, ignored this rae
tor; but, under modern high pressure
conditions, it is profitable practice to
take the question of individuality into
consideration. In the successful dairy
each COW must be fed according TO
her individual needs and humor, be-
cause only a contented. satisfied AMI
NAL gives the maximum milk flow.
The second fundamental is palatabil-
ity. Experiments have conclusively
proved that feed the animal likes will
do it the most good. There must be
variety to the ration to keep up the
appetite and to stimulate digestive pro-
cesses. This is where corn ensilage
has its great merit. AS salad with
a pungent odor and characteristic
sharp flavor. it is especially an appe-
tier and keeps the digestive processes
in vigorous working order
In the third place. the feed must be
ample in every particular. deficit in
one of the essentials for growth or pro
duction. whether protein. carbohy
drates, fats or ash, is a weak link in
the chain which may make the entire
feeding system ineffective.
Nothing is doing more to improve
the methods of feeding than the In
creasing cost of feedstuffs. The stock
man must get larger returns from the
feeds he uses, and this will compe
him to study the science of ANNA
feeding and put his practice upon the
right basis.-Saturday Evening Post.

MUCH LOSS OF PLANT FOOD
Leachlng of the Soil by Irrigated Water
Should Be Avoided as Much as
Possible.

By c. w. COLvER. Utah University Ex-
pertinent Station)
A certain amount of plant FOOD Is
removed from the land by irrigation
water which should be restored to all
cultivated soils. If as much is returned
to a productive soil as is taken
away, such a soil will never become
exhausted. Therefore an especial
consideration should be given to all
phases of the subject that deals with
the conservation of the plant food ele-
ments that are already in the soil.
In Idaho's irrigated districts the
largest part of the plant food taken
from the soil is removed by the grow
ing crops, but the amount of valua-
BILE plant forming elements that are
lost in waste and drainage water may
not be inappreciable.
The results of some experiments.
conducted at one OF our leading ex-
pertinent stations, located in a non
irrigated district, show that the drain
age water carries away an average of
37.6 pounds of nitrogen per acre a
year from the top twenty inches of
soil. Although potash. phosphoric
acid and lime are not dissolved from
/ the SOILS as readily as nitrogen, II HdS
been clearly shown that the amount
of those elements in the drainage wa
tiers is not small.
If the mineral plant foods are SO
easily detected in the drainage from
lands watered only by rain. the loss
on an irrigated farm, unless the wa
ter is carefully applied, will be con
siderably greater. If large stream
OF water is allowed to run all night
through short rows of vegetables and
berries and for days over grain and
alfalfa fields these elements that are
assimilated by the growing plants will
either be carried below the range Of
plant roots and lost in the under
ground drainage, or will be carried of
in the waste ditch to enrich some farm
further down the canal
To reduce this teaching of the sol
by the irrigated water to a minimum
as far as possible excessive flooding
resulting in large streams of vast,
water, should be avoided.

Rape ranks next to clover as for
age plant for swine. although they
differ in their nutritive value. When
both can be raised and swine allowed
to pasture on both il makes matters
well-nigh ideal. Rape can in no way
be detrimental to pregnant sows I'M
less they are compelled to subsist
wholly upon it. which would not be
wise. 1t would not be wise for the
breeder to depend wholly upon any
one food for growing pigs or pregnant
sows.

although this was their maiden
effort, not break or balk was
made in the whole performance.
Gretchen Magee as "Topsy Turvy"
could not be excelled. Jose Garcia
as Ned, the negro, never failed to
win applause, He couples thought
and action with his natural ability.
Louie Braiden made an excellent
"Cousin Frank" Edward Weddle
as deacon Jones" and Fac Smith
as Miss Spriggs' had excellent
parts and played them to perfec-
ton. Orien Fletcher is a sober,
thoughtful boy and those charac-
teristics made him an ideal Lord
Clarence. Grace Kingsbury as
as Mrs Clarendon" and Frances
White as May Golden won nu-
merous compliments for the able
manner in which they rendered
their parts. In fact there was not
weak part or character in the
whole play and everyone went
