CORN SLOWER
FOR FEEDING
Ton for Ton Il Is About as
Good as Timothy

Farmers who find themselves short
of hay will do well to remember that
corn slower, the crop left standing
after the ears have been husked,
has good feeding values. Ton for ton.
1t contains nearly the nourishment
for cattle and horses that timothy
hay does. Experiments covering q
period of four years have shown that
moderately thin yearling steers lost
only 33 pounds each when wintered
ON whole corn slower alone. indicat-
ing that 1t will nearly furnish main
terance ration.
But corn stover must be cut
promptly after the ears have been
picked. Experiments at the Iowa ag-
ricultural station at Ames show that
there is considerable loss In feeding
value II the stalks are allowed to
stand in the field after ripening. This
loss on the Iowa station farm amount
ed to more than one-half in two
months time. Investigations show that
AZ per cent. OF the food value In
slower lies in the leaves and stalk
below the ear. and these leaves are
dried out. blown away by the wind
or beaten into the ground by rains II
the stalks are left standing too long.
Farmers who need to make up for
shortage of hay should cut corn
as soon as the ears are well dented.
and later husk 1t from the shocks,
or else cut the stalks for slower i'm
mediately after husking. AS soon az
the stalks are fairly we'll cured aud
free from outside moisture, they
should be placed under cover or
stacked and not left in the field to
lose feeding value. BY such treat

not necessary to shred corn slower.
except to make II more convenient to
handle. Utshredded slower has urac-
tically the same value In nutriment

IOWA-BRED
WHEATS AT FAIR
Agricultural Experiment Station VIII
Make Unique Display

Twelve Of the best strains OF pure
bred wheat developed on the farms OF
the Iowa agricultural experiment sta
ton will be exhibited at the Iowa
State college building at the state fair
this year. They will be shown in
every stage from the unthreshed grain
to bread. ready for spreading with but
ter and jam. There will be fine
sheaves of the wheat in the straw:
there will be the threshed grain; there
will be the finished flour and its by
products, and there will be the bread.
The process of baking will be carried
on by young women from the home
economies department OF the college.
in electric baking ovens. The college
Is proud OF these twelve strains OF
pure bred wheat. They have bee,.
thoroughly tested out for five years,
and are well established. They include
both spring and winter varieties and
have proved themselves good prodnc-
ers and well adapted to Iowa soil con-
ditions.
There will also be an extensive
showing of college strains of timothy.
They are the result of years OF expert
mentation and thousands OF paintings.
This years field plots at the college
contain 275 strains seeded for row
tests. The state fair exhibit win show
the difference Of these strains with
their variation as to their stooling
power. their LEAKAGE. their length OF
head. and so on.
Particularly interesting win be the
alfalfa exhibit. which will show con-
clusively that this crop can be grown
successfully on almost any Iowa soil
that is properly prepared for It, The
feature Of the display will be an al
falfa map. showing the alfalfa grown
in different sections of the state.
There will be complete information on
alfalfa. from seeding to harvesting.
with figures on the yields.

RAPE FOR FRESH PAsTuRAGE
One Of Cheapest Fattening Foods for
Hogs and Sheep Grown on
the Farm.

The value of rape for fresh pastur-
age for hogs. sheep and cattle should
impress itself rather deeply on Iowa
farmers who will have to contend with
this years dry weather conditions In
feeding. Where rape was sown with
the last cultivation Of corn, even. II
has generally made good growth and
will furnish excellent pasturage when
the corn is picked. or balance the RAJ
ton in lots that are "hogged down."
The Iowa experiment station demon
strated the feeding value Of rape long
ago and proved 1t to be one Of the
cheapest fattening foods for hogs and
sheep that can be grown on the farm.
Rape is naturally rugged and requires
little pampering. It may be sown any
time after the ground becomes warm
In the spring. or as late as August /.
Excellent results have been secured
by sowing rape on fall wheat stubble.
II the ground Is fairly moist when
sown In late July. rape should be
ready for pasturing early In Septem-
Der. Live stock must be limited In
feeding on rape when first turned out.
because It is very succulent and may
cause bloating.

tention to the wool. because more and
more Importance is laid on the fleece.
The ram win stamp his character on
the lambs, hence great deal OF at
tention should be paid to the selection
of the head of the flock.
Grade Flock.
In buying grade ewes one is enabled
to secure flock at very low cost. In
order to have the best results from the
standpoint of uniformity. conformation
and quality OF lambs. pure bred ram
should head the flock. preferably a
ram OF the breed which predominates
in the ewes. II Is not necessary to
buy show rams at show prices, but
one should not let few dollars
stand between him and the purchase
OF a ram low to the ground. well de-
veloped in natural flesh. well wooded
and masculine in appearance.
Western Ewes.
A great many who raise market
lambs like to buy good grade ewes
from the west carrying a predomi-
nance OF Rambouillet blood. Such
ewes can be bought very reasonably.
They make good mothers. are usually
healthy. shear good feeces and when
mated with pure bred ram of good
type OF some of our best breeds.
produce lambs that make rapid gains
and excellent market lambs.
Early Lambs.
The average farm flock would yield
more profit from the sale of lambs II
they were dropped little earlier and
forced along for an earlier market
The earliest lambs always bring an
extra high price because Of the fact
that but few appear on the market
early. Good grade ewes will produce
lambs Of the type desired in the early
lamb when bred to the right type OF
ram.

Statistics show Iowa to have about

This is very small number when
compared with statistics of many
other states with conditions similar to
those of Iowa.

err words. dollars and cents, appeal to
the farmer. The principal advantages
OF sheep are, first, they produce two
marketable products. namely wool and
mutton: when one Is low in price it is
very likely that the other Is high or
both may be high; second, they are
the farm scavengers, consuming prac-
ucally all of the weeds that grow;
third. they are very easily cared for

Fourth. the initial investment need
not be great; fifth. they are cheaply
maintained; sixth, they require mex

nance; seventh. they restore fertility

Starting the Flock.
At this time of year some may have
determined to start a flock. OF those
who are making this start some may
have had experience with sheep; some
may not have had. For those who have
not it might be well to profit by the
experience Of others and go slow at

business It is well to look up reputable
breeders and investigate their flocks.

age of usefulness. preferably from
yearlings to three-year-olds. and Of the
approved type which that breed calls
for. Be careful to select sheep that
