ELF-FEEDERS SAVE HAY
AND CONSIDERABLE LABOR
According Tests r1ade Colorado Experiment Station
Fully 20 Per Cent. of Feed Is Vast by
Old Method of Feeding

tically 20 per cent in favor of tie
selffeeder racks. 1t makes a differ
ence of ~ cents in the cost securing
each 100 pounds Of grain. These re-
suits were secured on alfalfa valued
at S. per ton. With higher price
the difference would be corresponding
ly greater.
These self-feeding racks cost 81 per
running foot completed. They had the
ordinary capacity of four lambs per
running foot, two on each side, not so
much space being required at self
feeder as at an ordinary rack, since
all the lambs will not eat at one time.
AS already stated, the saving in this
one experiment amounted to 40 cents
per 100 pounds of gain. This is equal
to about IA cents on each lamb. Count
ing four lambs per running foot, this
would make q saving on one seasons

Self-feeder racks for supplying
roughage to sheep or cattle are not
only the means of saving considerable
labor, but, according to tests made at
tie Colorado experiment station, are
the means of saving a great deal of
hay. One lot of lambs at this station
were fed whole hay in a self-feeder
rack and another lot whole hay in
racks on the ground such as are in
common use in many sections of the
country. The average gain of these
two lots was practically the same
the lot feeding from the self-feeder
averaging only one pound heavier
than the others, says he American
Agriculturist. Also, the grain con-
sumed varied but little, being only
nine pounds more for a 1OO-pound
gain in the first lot than in the see
ond. The great saving came in the
cost of roughage.
The lot eating from TIE selffeeder
consumed 601 pounds Of hay for each

The family with young children that is
without sickness in the house now ana
then is rare, and SO 1t is important that
the head Of the house should know what
to do in the little emergencies that arise.
A child with a serious ai!ment needs a
doctor, it is true, but in the majority Of
instances, as any doctor knows. the child
suffers from some intestinal trouble,
usually constipation.
There IS no sense in giving It a pill or
a remedy containing an opate. nor IS

fore the doors were opened visitors
thronged the streets and crowded ev-
cry part Of the building, making one
of the largest assemblies ever seen
here. When the hour arrived for the
exercises in the auditorium the place
was packed and numbers eager to
hear the interesting programme were
turned away. Essays, declarations
and readings by pupils from the diff
feI ent schools of the county furnished
feast for those fortunate enough to
be on the inside. 1t would have been
well if every person on the ground
could have listened to the address of
State School Commissioner M. L..

in which he is engaged is broad. His
suggestions indicated a close study
of the needs of the town and country
schools and a deep interest in the
cooperative plan for lifting the
standard to what it should and must
be before the best results can be OBJ
tanned in the vital matters concern
ing the education of the children. AT
the conclusion of the address County
