Scholarships for Farm Boys.

Boys who want an agricultural edu-
cation, but haven't the money to get it,
ought to write to Dean c. F. Curtiss
of Iowa State college. The states
great agricultural school will give
eight scholarships, worth $3.50 to $500
to the self-supporting young men who
make the the best showing in two
judging contests during the short
course at Ames, January to 10. Seven
of the scholarships, worth $3.50 each,
will be awarded to the seven who make
the best showing in the corn and live
stock judging; the eighth will be given
to the young man who stands best in
an oat judging contest. The seven
scholarships come from the Armour
fund, and were captured by the college
judging team and the college live
stock at the Internatioal Live
Stock show in Chicago. The eighth
scholarship is offered by the Interna-
tional Harvester company.

Silage for Fattening
Ewes

C. b., Keokuk county, inquiries of
the Iowa Agriculturist
rs silage a good feed for fattening
ewes? Am feeding almost thou
sand head and would like to try silage
if it is adapted to this class of stock :"
To this Prof. John NJ Evvard of the
Iowa experiment station answers:
In general, silage of good quality
makes a very satisfactory feed You
will find that it will lessen the amount
of roughage they will eat and if the
silage contains much corn, will lessen
the amount of grain. 1t is very likely
they will not take to it very kindly
at first, but at any rate feed only a
small amount per day, say less than
one-half pound per head, until they
have become accustomed to 1T, thus
preventing scours.
If your silage is of good quality you
should have no trouble after they are
once on feed. l have fed as much as
four to five pounds per day to ewes
of $50 pounds weight without any ill
effects. OF course your ewes would
not weigh this much, so you would
have to govern your feeding according
to weight.

Home Made T0nics
for Hogs

Writing to Jasper county sub
scriber Of Profitable Farming and
Breeding who wanted to know about
homemade tonics for hogs and cattle,
John M. Evvard, experimentalist in
animal husbandry at the Iowa agricul-
tural experiment station, answered as
follows:
IF you are in the habit of feed
ing a continental mixture to hogs,
you will find the following formula
very satisfactory:
Three pounds of sal soda; three
pounds of copperas or iron sulphate;
| three pounds of Glauber's salts; one
pound of sulphur. Mix all ingredients
together thoroughly and place in a
trough compartment so that the hogs
| may be allowed access to it at will.
"The above is quite an effective YER
mifuge (worm eXpeller) and you will
get good results from it.
"If your pigs are out of condition
and need immediate treatment, then
the government hog remedy may be
| used It is as follows:
i Ou0 pOuuu tWOOu CudICOdlS Ou6
pound sulphur; two pounds sodium
chloride; two pounds sodium bicar
| Donate; two pounds sodium hypo-sul-
phite; one pound sodium sulphate;
one pound anthony sulphis (black
antimony). Pulverize the ingredients
completely and mix thoroughly A
large tablespoonful once daily per
200 pounds live weight of hog is
dose. Mix the medicine we'll with
soft feed
For cattle we do not deem it ad-
visable to feed any stock food. We
allow salt at free will. If your cattle
are somewhat lacking in bone develop
ment and do not seem to be growing
to suit you, then should advice that
you secure some feeding bone flour
worth about 1925 hundred pounds.
1t may be mixed half in half with salt
and allowed before the cattle at all
times"

Meat meal and tankage of similar
chemical composition are almost equal
pound for pound as corn ration for
fattening hogs. The hogs fed meat
meal and tankage as ten per cent. Of
their ration with corn required 40
pounds of this heterogeneous concentrate
for each 100 pounds gain. A ration
composed of corn with either meat
meal or tankage produced from Is to
40 per cent. faster gains on quite ma
tuTe hogs. In every case the number
of pounds of feed required per 100
pounds gain was decidedly less with
mixed ration.
A ration of one-half corn and one
half shorts produced greater gains
with less feed per 100 pounds gain
than a ration of two-thirds corn and
one-third shorts.
A ration composed Of corn two
parts, barley one part and shorts one
part produced 100 pounds gain at fully
as low cost as the ration containing
meat meal or tankage in conjunction
with corn. Barley is therefore an
economical feed when combined with
corn and shorts when finishing hogs
for market.
The experiment showed that the ra-
ton containing much larger proper
ton Of protein to the carbohydrates
and fats than is found in corn is the
tsst; in other words, that it is not
best to feed corn alone.
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1912-01-11

Corn as fattening feed for hogs
It's value may be increased by balanc-
ing it with other feeds. For instance,
If meat meal or tankage, packing
house by-products, is fed along with
corn, the porkers will gain faster and
more economically. The same is true
if barley and shorts are added to the
corn.
These facts have been we'll estab-
lished in feeding tests made at the
Iowa agricultural experiment station.
Hogs fed corn alone produced pork at
a cost of 1885 per hundredweight
Hogs fed one part of meat meal to
nine parts of corn produced pork at a
cost of 1921 per hundredweight. Hogs
fed one part Of barley and one part of
shorts to two parts of corn made even
cheaper gains at cost of $3.15 per
hundred pounds of pork produced.
To fatten the hogs on ration of
corn and meat meal 1t took 370.3
pounds of feed for each 100 pounds Of
gain. About thirty-seven pounds of
that was meat meal.
To fatten the hogs on a ration of
corn, barley and shorts, 1t took 1919
pounds of feed for each 100 pounds of
gain. About 1919 pounds of that was
corn and the remainder barley and
shorts equally.
To fatten the hogs on corn alone
required 463.5 pounds of feed for each
100 pounds of gain.

Picking Out Good Cockerels

1t is high time to get rid of all male
birds in the poultry yard that are not
to be kept for breeding or other spe-
cial purposes. The job of wedding out
the undesirables ought to have intel
lligent attention, because it will settle
the quality of your young chicks next
spring and determine your profit in
the business.
= In selecting the breeding cockerel,
pick for the wide, thick-feshed breast,
strong, broad back carried evenly to-
ward the tail. Choose birds with
short, thick thighs, short, clean yellow
legs, for this indicates meaty,

With corn and roughage at present
prices. Iowa farmers may increase the
efficiency of their steer feeding by the
use of supplemental feeds. Expert
ments conducted by the Iowa agricul-
tural experiment station leave no
doubt about that After an investiga-
ton covering two or three years and
various lots of beef animals, this state
ment was made: The use of supple
mental feed stuffs in fattening cattle
results In an increased rate of gain,
higher bloom. and In some cases, in
lower cost per pound of gain, and
higher prices for the finished cattle"
In these experiments the station
used gluten feed, oil meal, cotton seed
meal and dried blood as supplements
to corn. The first three named prov
ed very satisfactory and were especi-
ally valuable in balancing a ration
when the roughage used was rather
inferior, such as straw, and that is
the situation in most feed yards in
satisfactory, because 1t produced only
a slight increased gain, which was
wholly disproportionate to its cost
The extent to which these supple
mental feeds may be used profitably
depends largely on prices. In it's bull
letin on this experiment the Iowa
station makes the statement that
when corn is only IS cents per bushel
or Whereabouts, and with supplemental
feeds as high as s26 per ton. there is

healthy bird. Birds with long, rough,
off-colored legs are not worth while
The head gives indication of the
health and strength of the cockerel.
There is direct relation between the
shape Of the head and the shape of the
body. A long, narrow head, with a
long, narrow beak is always accom-
panied by long legs, a marrow back
and hollow chest. A full face, bright
red in color, and large prominent
eye are always found in the largest,
strongest birds.
The accompanying picture of one of
the cockerels from the Iowa State col
lege poultry yards illustrates the
points of good bird.

no profit in using the supplements.
But with corn selling at 80 cents per
bushel or more and cotton seed meal
at $26 per ton, the bulletin says
there can be no question as to the
profit in using some of these supple
mental feeds"
Corn is more than SO cents bushel
this winter. So that part of the condi-
lions for profitable use of supple
mental feeds Is fulfilled But cotton
seed meal is more than $26 ton; It
Is about $50. However, this difference
| Is more than Offset by the lack Of
good roughage in the average feeding
lot The steer must have protein to
| go with Its corn and make balanced
ration; 1t cannot get enough OF 1t
from the roughage, because the farm
er is short on good roughage. SO
the steer must get it from such feeds
as cotton seed meal, which are rich
in protein, and the use of such feeds
| is generally recognized as profitable
this year.
In the Iowa station experiment the
steers were given cotton seed meal IN
their ration gradually. They were
first fed about one-eighth pound per
head per day. This was increased
one-twenty pound per day until
the total feed was about IA pounds
per day. Then the increase was NOR"
gradual and at longer intervals,
an allowance of about four pol
t per steer Per day was reached

Five practical winter rations for the
mich COW are given by Bert Hyzer
of Iowa State college in an interesting
discussion of winter feeding in the
Iowa Agriculturist. In selecting them
he says he has kept in mind the de-

namely, economy, palatability and in
f1uence on the digestive system. Com
puted on the basis of COWS weighing
thousand pounds, the five rations
are as follows:
Ration No. 1.
For COW giving % pounds of milk
daily.
Wheat bran, 2 pounds.
Ground oats, 2 pounds.
Gluten feed, pound.

COMMISSION T

When Fargo defeated the commits
sion form of government the adverse
vote was not so much due to the OPP
position to the commission plan itself
as to the crudity of the North Da-
kota law. Then the idiocy, intoler-
ance and bigotry Of some Of the adj
vocates of the system contributed
somewhat to It's defeat.
The last legislature changed some
features of the law. Amendments
were made which have removed a few
Of the objections raised by the oppo-
nents Of the plan. A movement has
already been inaugurated by friends
Of the law to either add more amend
ments-or to enact a better general
commission law at the next session Of
the legislature.
If this is done-the plan may be
adopted in Fargo the next time it is
proposed. Many former opponents of
the idea regard the amended law with
less antagonism than the original
measure and in time a newer and bet
ter law may actually win their en-
dorsement.

q A ELECTIONS.

North Dakotans are having a chance
today to exercise their rights as free
born American citizens. They can
vote early ana often-if they don't get
caught at it.
The results are not going to please
every one. There are many people
who will be disappointed over the
presidential primaries. Some Of the
candidates for national committeeman
will not win. About half the republic
can candidates for electors and dele
gates will fail to be on the winning
side.
In Fargo only Of the candidates
for the mayoraIty can be successful.
In the wards where there are alder
manic contests it will be the private
life for SOM of the ambitious ones.
But whatever the results-as they
AFFECT the nation, state or city-why
not accept them? The individual with
out the manhood to accept defeat
should refrain from mixing into a
fight.
Fargo, North Dakota, the United
States will all continue to exist after
today-just as substantially as they
did yesterday. Why not preserve your
equanimity-even if the returns should
not be OF the nature you preferred?
