THE NEW FARM LIFE.

1t Is good to note that changing
conditions are fast giving the COM
forts and luxuries of city life to the
farmer. Rural life has been revolu-
tionized in the last decade.
First the farmer asked that his
mail be delivered at his door as 1t
is in the cities. Then the telephone
was extended to the country, and
communication made as easy there as
in the city. The problem of quick
travel has largely been solved for
the farmer by the automobile,
though he still needs better roads.
The latest addition to country life
is the parcel post. With as much
ease as her city sister, the farmers
wife now can order her groceries
over the telephone. Uncle Sam runs
the delivery wagon.
Today the farmer has a home
equipped with all the modern con-
veniences. With his automobile he
can reach the city almost as easily
as the suburban dweller on his
street car. On the farmers table are
those luxurious eatables only known
to country life. All told, the chang
es Of the last decade have SO added
to the comforts Of farm life as to
make It attract the people more and
more.

Heavy Loss to Crops Can B

A NEW SHAGE EXPERIMENT
Two Missouri Farmers Will Feed
Waste From Corn Canning Factory.

Two farmers in Northwest Missouri
who live near a town where large
sweet corn canning factory is located
have gone into partnership Ant
bought the waste output from the
factory, for term of ten years. The
waste consists of all the husks. cobs
immature and inferior corn, in all oi
which there is a good deal Of feeding
value.
These men have rented 10-acre lot
adjacent to the factory where beef
cattle will be fed. Here they have
erected four large silos in which the
waste products from the factory are
stored.
About 200 head Of cattle will be fed
on the silage. Grain will be fed to-
gether with the silage SO as to form
a well-balanced ration. Hogs will
follow the cattle and will be fed some
silage. The promoters expect to start
feeding about the first of February
and will continue full feed until May
or June, when the cattle will be mar
keted.
This is probably the first undertake
ing of its kind in the state and will
be watched closely by many feeders
in that section. Sweet-corn makes
a;lo0o that Ia rothor hiph in acid hut
it is thought that this will not hurt
it as a feed for beef cattle. II this
experiment proves profitable many
other such operations will probably
be carried on where sweet-corn can
ming factories are located. 1t has
proved profitable to utilize for feed
ing purposes the waste from beet
sugar factories. Why should not the
waste from sweet-corn be a profitable
feed also?

MIXED FEED IS BEST
TO FATTEM POULTRY
Tests Show That Corn Should
Be Given in Connection
With Other Foods.

The general impression is that corr
is a good fattening feed for poultry
1t is the common practice to feed the
birds corn in the fall to fatten them
And the heavy feed OF corn just be
fore they are sold to the huckster or
other buyer is not forgotten.
To determine what gains could be
made by feeding corn for fattening
purposes, a lot of farm-raised chick
ems of mixed breeding were bought
to experiment with. These birds
were divided evenly into lots Of ten
birds each, SO that one lot of birds
was just as good as another at the
beginning of the experiment. A num-
ber of different feeds were used and
the lots run in duplicate. The birds
were fed three times day for a peri
cd of three weeks. All weights were
taken twelve hours of of fed.
The rations used were as follows:
Lot 1. Shell corn and 10 per cent
meat scrap.
Lot 2. Equal parts Of corn and
wheat and 10 per cent meat scrap.
Lot 8. Corn meal plus 10 per cent
meat scrap and moistened with water.
Lot 4. Corn meal, low grade flour,
pea meal and buttermilk.
The pens fed rations No. 1 and No.
2 made gain of less than or pound
on each bird at a cost of so cents for
each pound gained. Pens fed ration
No. 3 made a gain on each bird of
0.4 pound at cost Of II cents for
each pound gained. Pens, fed ration
No. made a gain on each bird of
pound at cost of IA cents for each
pound gained.
The result shows that the feed
which made the highest gain made it
at the least cost 1t also shows that
whole grain cannot be used as fat
tening food. 1t is cheaper to have
the grain ground than to have the
birds do their own grinding. The re-
suits will be better by using more
than one kind of feed.
Corn is a good fattening food. but
it must be finely ground and fed in
connection with some other feeds If
good results are to be obtained.
A ration that gives excellent re-
suits in fattening is composed Of:
"a pounds of white bolted corn meal.
6 pounds of low grade flour, 4 pounds
of either buckwheat middlings, pea
meal or finely ground hulled oats.
For each pound of this mixture add
about two pounds Of buttermilk.

HOW HE SAVES STORAGE
W. T. FlOurnOy Uses the Ventilated
System in Keeping Apples.

/
System in Keeping Apples.
Several successful orchard men il
South Missouri are cutting down the:r
cold storage bills on the apple CROP
this year by using ventilated storage,
according to Ashleigh P. Boles. Sec
retary of the State Board Of Horti-
culture. Mr. Boles was speaking OF
his recent ten days inspection tour
Of the southern part of the state.
"W. T. Flournoy of Marionville, an
experienced apple grower" said Mr..
Boles, declares that he has saved a
thousand dollars on his storage bill
SO far this year, by using the venti-
lated method. A number of years ago
Mr.. Flournoy built a cold storage
plant on his own farm, using the
ammonia system Of cold storage
This method proved expensive and he
began a series of experiments to find
a more efficient and less expensive
way to store fruit.
"He finally worked out a plan by
which the cold night air was forced
in among the apples when the tenn
perature was lower than that in the
storage room. A hole was cut above
the floor line, in the side Of the wall,
and suction fan was installed. This
fan draws the stale air out of the
room and cold fresh air is brought in
through an opening on the north side
of the building"
The house was originally built for
cold storage plant and the walls
and floors were we'll insulated. When
the vent holes are closed, the temper
ature is held at a low point for a
considerable length of time before
it begins to rise. A false floor is
built from to inches above the
concrete floor and the fruit is stored
in bins arranged upon the false floor
The fruit is piled from 8 to 4 feet
high. A good circulation of cold air
to all parts of the bin is essential.
"The efficiency of the system was
put to test by storing bin of Gull
apples, picked up from the ground"
Mr.. Boles continued. after two
months Of storage, these culls looked
to be in almost as good condition as
when they were put in storage.
"The State Board of Horticulture
is very much interested in ventilated
storage and IL further experiments
prove that it Is successful, bulletin
will be issued, giving the details Of
the system"

Advice From q Washington Expert
ment station Bulletin.


For Missouri conditions it is ad-
vised that the cherry tree be prunel
to an open head. Cherries cannot
stand severe pruning, however, and
one should be judicious in the use ol
the saw. Cut of limbs close to the
larger limbs and cut back limbs to
healthy, fairly large outer branch
of the limb cut back.
The Washington State Experiment
Station, in Bulletin 80, recommends
the following method of handling l.
year-old trees as they are planted in
the orchard:
All lateral branches should be cut
of close and the top headed back
to from "a to 36 inches from the
ground. The young tree will require
no further pruning until the begin
ming of the third year, except per-
haps to remove water sprouts which
may spring from the foot.
At the beginning of the third years
growth three or four main limbs
should be left, and headed back about
one-third of their original length, cut
ting to outer buds or twigs always.
The remaining limbs should be cut
OF.
The pruning for the fourth and fifth
years growth should be much the
same as for the third, using care to
thin the top and cut back in such a
manner as to spread the top.

The Size of Chicken to Market.

The size of chicken that makes the
best gain and commands the highest
market price averages from IN to
pounds. The demand for this size
chicken is so great that it enables the
farmer to receive a good price for his
birds. In the last ten years there has
been an approximate increase in the
selling price Of poultry of 50 per
cent.

FEW FROZEN
ORANGES SAY
BIG DEALERS

Declaring that very few frozen
oranges have been received in
Tacoma and that Miss Arizona
Wimrle, city pure food inspector,
is not especially qualified to de-
termine whether oranges have
been frozen or not, a delegation
of commission men called at the
Times office yesterday afternoon
and complained against the indls-
criminate condemnation of or
anges in Tacoma.
Alarming yarns about frozen
oranges were sent north by the
California growers this year soon
after the big storms in the
SOUTH" said the commission men.
This was subtle trick to boost
the price of the fruit.
"As matter of fact only three
or four boxes of frozen oranges
have shown up so far and we
have thrown these out.
