Method Of Making No. 1885.

One ought, of course. always to aim
to use as few notches as possible;
that is, in making five. for instance.
to use one notch to represent three
of the units and make but two sim
gle unit notches. Two less notches
are thus used, than II the five were
conceived as consisting of five single
units. While 1t seems a simple mat
ter to make the numbers up to the
best advantage. yet it not infreQuent-
ly proves quite a little confusing and
one ought to take a sheet of paper,
and make a drawing of each number

and increased measure of efficiency

PROTEIN FEED

No Word In A9ri1u1tura1E tymo1.
oay Ia So Often Encountered
and Most frequently Used
In Articles on Food.

By CHARLES c. WENTZLER)
No word in agricultural etymolog9
is 80 often encountered as protein.
To a person not versed in farm
chemistry the term is more or less
confusing and to many others 1t has
no meaning at all. To such people II
is just an empty, technical phrase.
The word is most frequently en-
countered in articles on feeding.
Protein is the opposite OF fat It 10
about the same as albumen.
In feeding we have two principal
| classes of foods One Is the carbon
aceous or starchy foods. These go to
fat. The other is the protein foods.
These go to make milk, eggs and
meat The protein foods are tissue
builders.
In balancing rations we have to
see, therefore, that the animal does
not get too much OF one kind OF food.
In feeding a COW, for instance, we
cannot feed her corn alone as this
goes to fat rather than to milk There
ia some protein in corn but not
enough. On the other hand 1t would
not be advisable to feed COW food
like alfalfa, whose content Is practic
ally all protein. To begin with fat Is
the principle on which an animal de
ponds for bodily heat and energy. Sc
a COW, for this reason alone, shoult
have corn or other grain or hay II
which there is starchy matter. Then
too. she needs some carbonaceou'
food for the milk as there is con
siderable fat and sugar in milk.
If, however, we feed too mucl
protein some of it is bound to go t
waste. She will use half Of 1t TO
maintenance. One quarter OF 1t goe

For Cheaper Food.

The Rhode Island conservation COM
mission reports that there are 400 un-
utilized farms and large areas which
have never been cultivated at all, al
though they are very close to the
market. Yet Rhode Island is cele-
brated as the most 'thickly settled
state in the union. The possibilities
of this country in the production OF
food have not begun to be exhausted:
the limitations are nowhere in sight,

The writer visited a pure bred flock
not long ago where the lambs were
not marked and where the owner re-
lied on his memory alone to tell him
the pedigree of each lamb. This par
ticular flock was small and the own
er's memory above the average; he
did appear to really know his lambs;
but for the most part 1t is obvious
that a written record Is a great deal
more reliable proof OF pedigree. says
writer IN the Farm, Stock and Home.
1t is a mistake for anyone handling
pure-breeds not to number his lambs
and keep a record of them. 1t Is more
businesslike. to say the least, and GER
tainly more satisfying. One would
feel much more certain Of a lamb's
pedigree II he saw 1t In black and
white in a book than II 1t were re-
lated by the glib tongue of the owner.
About the surest as well as the
simplest method Of marking is that
Of notching the ear. Metal ear tags
| for the most part have the habit OF
pulling out, in which case their eff
cheney can be valued as nil, but the
notch II made with the right sort of
instrument is there to stay. When
made with a round ear punch. the
two sides of the notch sometimes
grow together but when made with q
tug punch, the opening in which is
nearly an inch long and about quar-
ter or three-eighths of an inch wide
they are there to stay
In notching some arbitrary value
must be placed upon a notch placed
In a given position in each ear. Elk
J perience has shown that any numbe
can be most easily made when thu
following values are used:
One notch in top Of left ear ind
Gates / unit. One notch in bottom O
: left ear indicates l ten; notch Il
tip of left ear indicates l hundred;

e units; l notch in bottom of right ca
] indicates tens; l notch in tip c
; right ear indicates hundreds.
