OF a ration, such as hay, stover, fod'

term concentrates embraces all
grains and mill products. In feed
stuffs there are three groups OF sub
stances. which must be considered In
formulating a ration to secure best
results. These are known as protein,
carbohydrates and fat
Protein" is the name Of group
of materials containing nitrogen. and
sometimes called the heterogeneous
group. in opposition to the carbohl.

The function OF protein is to fur.

Of those materials protein Is abso-
lutely Indispensable. II is important
to remember that no substance free
from nitrogen can be converted into
protein or be used as substitute
for protein. II is. therefore. neces
sary for an animal to receive a Ger.

Carbohydrates" are made up Of
several substances. usually divided
into two groups: namely, nitrogen,
free extracts, including sugar. starch,
gums, etc. and crude fiber Coarse
folders contain large amounts OF
crude fiber. while grain and mill
stuffs contain little fiber, but are rich
in starch and sugar
Carbohydrates are either stored up
In the body as fat or are burned in
the system to produce heat and en-.
ergy.
"Fat"-or the material dissolved
from a feeding stuff by ether, and fo-
this reason often designated as 'ether

PROPER PRUNING OF GRAPES
Principles Are Same Whether vines
Have Been Trained to Four-Arm'
Fan or Other Systems.

II allowed to go unpruned, grapes
are likely to be ill-shaped and unde'
sirable. 1t makes no difference, says
the horticultural department OF the
Nebraska university farm. whether
the grapes have been trained to the
four-arm system, the fan system, or
to any other; the principles of prun'
ing are the same. In doing this work.
It is important to remember that the
buds which produce the crop should
be chosen from the canes year Old
growing on two-year-old arms. Gen
orally from thirty to forty buds or
ewes" distributed over four or five
canes, may be saved. but this depends
upon the vigor of the vine. Never
save water sprouts or canes growing
directly from wood more than two
years old, as these do not produce
fruit. Buds for renewal may be Sc.
cured by choosing cane located at
the base of one left for bearing fruit
and cutting it back to spur OF thre'
or four buds or eyes

Many boys life on the farm is

Boys are like trees. Trained and

DAIRY cows HELP FERTILITY
Careful Attention Should Be Given
to Live Stock to Maintain Pro-
ductiveness Of Farm.

(By JAMES wITHYCOMBE, Oregon Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Dairying affords the quickest means
OF building up the farm. as there Is
practically no soil exhaustion when
butterfat constitutes the only dairy
product sold
A ton OF butterfat, worth about
500 at present market values takes
less than SO per cent Of plant food
from the farm, while ton of wheat
oats, alfalfa. or clover hay, worth
from SIS to $50, will take from the
farm plant food worth about So for
each ton sold.
Therefore, If the farmer expects to
maintain the productivity Of his farm
he should give careful attention to
livestock. especially the dairy cows

life is different from city life in that
there Is an independent sentiment ex

far as food production is concerned
each can take care Of himself better
than the town man, who Is more de-

visiting, more personal interest, more
obligation resting upon country people
than upon those who live In cities and

mendable, but cooperation should in

profits from the farm. Cooperative
selling is very essential.
There are many ways in which the
cost OF production may be reduced by
cooperation. Just as members Of the
corporations and partnership firms
must associate themselves together
and each give up certain points of in
dividuality, so should organizations
of farmers form such associations and
