cars. Experienced shippers seem to
be agreed on the point that cattle.
which have been heavily fed for some
weeks, should be prepared for ship
ment by Withholding the usual grain
feed for day or two previous to ship
ping, and substituting for this grain
feed roughage in the shape of good
hay Some very good advice along
this line is given by John Clay in
Henry's Feeds and Feeding, as fol-
lows:
A day or two previous to shipping,
feed the cattle In a pen, and feed hay
only. The secret of shipping all
classes of cattle is to place them on
the cars full of food. but with as lit
tie moisture as possible
A steer full of water is apt to have
loose bowels and show up badly in
the yards properly handled, cattle
should arrive in the sale pens dry be-
hind and ready for a good fill of
water--not very thirsty, but in good
condition to drink freely. Many
shippers think that by sailing their
cattle or feeding them oats they can
fool the buyers, but 1t always goes
against them to use unnatural
amounts.
AS to feed on the road, nothing
equals good sweet hay. which excels
corn or other grains, because 1t is
easily digested and does not fever the
animal OF water in midsummer,
care must be taken to supply the ami
NAL wants, whereas in winter a steer
can go for many hours without a
drink. Cattle should arrive at the
sale yards at from to 8 a. m, ap-
pearing on the scene as near the lat
ter hour as possible, since they al
ways look better just after they have
been fed and watered.
Funkhouser advises feeding all the
hay the cattle will eat, and reducing
the grain feed at least one-half two
or three days before shipping. For
steers in transit, allow $50 pounds Of
hay and one and one-half bushels of
grain per car. Steers on pasture that
have had corn should be taken off
pasture twenty-four hours before
shipping. and allowed half feed of
corn with plenty of hay.

Beef cattle should be found on
every farm where cattle are not
handled for the exclusive production
of milk Whether or not the farm

handles beef cattle, should depend
upon the amount of labor available

the demand for milk and its products.
and the equipment for the proper
production of milk. Beef cattle will
consume a larger amount of feed than
any other class of farm animals in
proportion to the labor necessary in
handling them. They are especially
adapted to the utilization of rough
age. require a small outlay for build

Ing expense of fertilizer.
1t is not always the heaviest feed
ers who get the best results Every
animal requires certain nutrients that
enable it to perform its best work.
II these nutrients are not supplied in
the proper proportions, 1t means that
the animal must consume and adjust
larger amounts of some of the ele-
ments that 1t can use. in order to get
enough of the others. Economical
feeding requires that nutrients be
supplied to animals in the proportion
needed. AS a rule, farm feeds are
lacking in protein. If one is feeding
cornstalks or wild hay. the farm
grains will supply enough protein to
meet the animals needs for best
work. This is especially true of
dairy cows and young stock. When
this form of roughage must be fed.
some such feed as bran, middlings or
oil-meal must form a reasonable pro-
portion of the grain ration. in order
that the protein supply may be main

quently suffer quite a heavy loss on
account of the shrinkage in weight
between the time the cattle are taken
from the pasture and the time they
reach the market. The shrinkage is
usually due to the careless feeding in

KAFIR is AS GOOD
AS CORN FOR FEED
SiIage Made From 1t Is Even Bet
ter Than Ordinary Kind for
Live Stock.

Kafir is as good a feed as corn.
Because farmers are learning this.
kafir has become one of the most i'm
portant crops grown in Kansas today.
The grain is valued highly as a feed
for all classes of live stock. In feed
ing, five bushels of kafir seed are con-
sidered as being equivalent to four
bushels of shelled corn. 1t should be
ground for all classes of live stock, ex-
cepting poultry, as it is SO hard that
they do not masticate 1t thoroughly
If 1t is fed whole. 1t should never be
fed wet.
Silage made from kafir excels corn
silage as feed, as the percentage of
grain and leaf to stalk is much higher
in the kafr. The same thing is
true in regard to kafir fodder and corn
stover.
Some of the farmers over the state
cut their kafir with a corn binder.
They then cut the heads off with a
knife. similar to a tobacco cutter, only
much larger, which is attached to the
side of a wagon box. The heads are
allowed to fall into the wagon box and
are then threshed. The fodder which
is left is excellent feed. Some persons
have advocated the feeding of this
fodder to horses suffering from the
heaves. but DIR. G. w. McCampbell.
assistant professor OF animal hus-
bandry at the Kansas Agricultural
college, says that 1t has no more val
ue for this purpose than any other
similar feed.

PREVENTING GRUB
IN HEAD OF SHEEP
Noses of Animals Should Be
Tarred Often During Fly Time
to Repel Pests.

The condition known as grub in the
head is caused by the presence in the
cavities of the head between the eyes
of the larva (worm stage) of the
sheep bot fly. The trouble is confined
to sheep and occasionally goats. The
eggs are laid in the nostrils of the
sheep during the summer by yellow
ish-gray fly somewhat larger than the
house fly. The eggs hatch and work
their way up into the cavities of the
head between the eyes, according to
the Southern Agriculturist, but not in
the brain. They attach themselves
there and remain about ten months.
when they loosen their holds and are
sneezed out and burrow into the
ground There they pass through an
other stage, emerging in month or
six weeks an adult fly, and the life
cycle is begun over again.
A few grubs may not cause enough
trouble to be noticed However, IL
there are many thick. dirty, white
or yellowish discharge is caused;
coughing and sneezing tossing of the
head and weakenled gait Sometimes
death results.
A veterinarian can relieve the sheep
by trephining, but prevention of infec-
tion is better practice. In fly time
the noses of the sheep should be
tarred often. Some force their sheep
to take their salt through an auger
hole and keep 1t smeared with tar dur
ing fly time. A dark shed where the
sheep may escape from the flies is o
great help

Small Farms.

Keeping Sheep In Condition.

Doctoring sheep is expensive and
often unsatisfactory, unless the
symptoms Of the disease are clearly
understood. If sheep are not exposed
to bad weather in the late fall, and
are given proper care and feed, there
is not much show for disease, unless
brought In from other f1ocks. With
sheep an ounce of prevention is
worth considerably more than a
pound OF cure.
