becomes necessary for the COW to eat
more than is required of other nutr1-
ents in order to get enough of the
one in which this particular feed is
deficient. A very striking example
of this practice is shown when alfalfa
hay is fed as the exclusive roughage
with bran and shorts as the con-
centrated feeds. Both of these feeds
are rather narrow, IN. r. about 1:4),
and do not furnish sufficient starches
and fats when taken in normal guam
titles to meet the requirements of the
animal. The COW must have more
carbohydrates, and she is therefore
forced to eat considerably more pro-
tein than she needs in order to get
enough of the carbohydrates, from
which she derives her energy. The
fact that protein is capable of being
transformed into carbohydrates and
fats is made use of in such an in
lance as this; but the expulsion of
large amount of nitrogen, one of the
principle constituents of protein is
necessary under such conditions, and
this greatly taxes the cows kidneys
and thereby impairs her milk secret
ing function.
SO we must look into the compare
tive composition and digestibility of
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-05-15

carbohydrates. This added to the 40
pounds of digestible carbohydrates
given in the table makes a total OF
At. 625 We have IL pounds of digest
ible protein to At. 625 pounds of di-
gestible carbohydrates, or by reduc-
ton, dividing the 47.625 by II, we
find we have 1886 pounds of carbo-
hydrates to every pound of protein.
Therefore the N. Il. OF wheat bran is
1896, approximately Ia.
HOW THE NUTRIENTS MAY BE
SUPPLIED.
When we stop to consider how
many different feeds are available for
feeding to the dairy COW, and how ap-
parently different is the composition
of each feed, we cannot help but
wonder how the dairymen could
produce milk at profit when the old
methods of feeding are practised.
Perhaps this is partial explanation
of why so many dairymen are not
making their diaries pay today.
The fact that COW eats freely of
the feed she has been given is not
sufficient proof that it is what she
needs. Perhaps she is craving one
element, only a small amount of
which will be found in the feed that
is put before her. In such case it

holes should be two inches in diane
ter. Care must be taken to hold the
auger plumb in boring these holes
in order that the stakes shall fit
properly.
The two slabs should be held 30
inches apart by the stakes. The
stakes should taper gradually toward
the ends. There should be no shout
der at the point where the stakes en-
ter the slab. The stakes should be
fastened in place by wedges only.

AN IDEAL RATION.

The first and most important re-
quisite for an ideal ration is that 1T
shall contain all the nutrients neces-
sary to maintain the body of the cow,
and to produce the milk the COW is
capable of producing, and that these
nutrients be in the proper proper
tions. The second requisite is that
the ration should be composed large
ly of roughage. 1t should be suff1-
GENTLY bulky to fully distend the dl-
gestive organs of the cow Practical
experience has shown that proper
balance is reached when about two
thirds of the total dry matter of the
ration is in the form of roughage and
one third in the form of concentrates.
In addition to this, an ideal ration
should be palatable, so that an animal
will eat it with relish. While little
is known concerning the effect OF
palatability, it is certainly true that
of two feeds alike in all other res
poets, the one most readily eaten by
the animal will give the best results.
The last requisite of an ideal ration

inch thick may be used for the blade.
This should be attached to the front
slab, so that it will be one-half inch
below the lower edge of the slab at
the ditch end, while the end of the
iron toward the middle of the road
should be flush with the edge of the
slab. The bolts holding the blade in
place should have fat heads and the
holes to receive them should be
countersunk.
An ordinary trace chain is strong
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-05-15

planks instead of logs. The plank
should be strengthened along the
middle line by two by six inch
strip. A triangular strip may be
used under the lower edge of the
blade to give it the proper cutting
slope.
OPERATION OF THE DRAG.
The successful operation of the
drag involves two principles. which
when thorouhgly understood and in
telligently applied make road work.
ing with this implement very simple.
The first concerns the length and
position of the hitch, while the Sec
ond deals with the position of the
driver on the drag. For ordinary
purposes the snatch link or clovis
should be fastened far enough to-
ward the blade end of the chain to
force the unloaded drag to follow the
team at an angle of 45 degrees. This
will cause the earth to move along
the face of the drag smoothly and will
give comparatively light draft to the
team, provi ded the driver rides in the
line OF draft.
II small weeds are to be cut or
furrow of earth is to be moved, the
doubletree should be attached rather
close to the ditch end of the drag.
The drag will now move nearly ditch
end foremost, and the driver should
stand with one foot on the extreme
forward en-. of the front slab. This
will swing the drag back to the proper
angle and will cause the blade to
pillow. This hitch requires slow and
careful driving in order to prevent
the drag from tipping forward. Ii
the blade should pillow too deeply, the
driver should shift his weight toward
the back slab. If straw and weeds
clog the blade. they can usually be
removed it the driver shifts his
weight to point as far as possible
from the ditch or blade end.
Usually two horses are enough to
pull drag over an ordinary earth
road. When four horses are used
they should be hitched to the drag
by means of a four-horse evener.
The team should be driven with
one horse on either side of the right
hand wheel track or rut the full
length of the portion to be dragged.
and the return made over the other
half of the roadway. The object OF
this treatment is to move earth to-
ward the center of the roadway and
to raise it gradually above the sur
rounding level. While this is being
accomplished all mudholes and rut
will be filled, into which traffic will
pack the fresh earth.

When the stakes have been placed in
position and tightly wedged, brace
two inches thick and four inchs wide
should be placed diagonally to them
at the ditch end. The brace should
be dropped on the front slab, so that
it's lower edge shall lie within an inch
of the ground. while the other end
should rest in the angle beween the
slab and the end stake.
A strip of iron about three and
one-half feet long, three or four
inches wide, and one-fourth of an

There are over 2,000,0 900 miles of
earth roads in the country, and the
split-log drag is of great service in
keeping them in economical repair.
The drag is used IN many states and
in foreign countries. 1t is used with
two, three or four horses, and is
easily constructed.
The two-slab log and plank drags
have proven the most satisfactory.
Double drags for working both sides
of the roadway simultaneously have
been tried with only limited success.
The reason for this is that both sides
of an earth road are never exactly
alike. This causes the two parts OF
the drag to work unevenly and to in
terfere with each other.
HOW TO BUILD A LOG DRAG.
1t is a mistake to construct heavy
drag. A dry red cedar log is the
best material for drag. Red elm
and walnut when thoroughly dried
are excellent, and box elder, soft
maple, or even willow are preferable
to oak, hickory, or ash.
The log should be seven or eight
feet long and from 10 to Il inches in
diameter and carefully split down the
middle. The heaviest and best slabs
should be selected for the front At
a point on the front slab four inches
from the end that is to be at the mid
die of the road locate the center or
the hole to receive a cross stake, and
% inches from the other end Of the
front slab locate the center for another
cross stake. The hole for the middle
stake will lie on a line connecting
and half way between the other two.
The back slab should then be placed
in a position behind the other

road measure 20 inches for the center

from the other end locate the center

of the middle hole as before. When
these holes are brought opposite each
other, one end OF the back slab will

then passed over the front slab.
Raising the chain at this end of the
slab allows the earth to drift past the

the chain should be passed through
the hole in the end of the slab. One

From the Investigations Of the
amounts of protein and carbohydrates
required by COWS made at various
stations, we learn that on the average
a COW can economically use from five
to seven and one half pounds of d1-
gestible carbohydrates to each pound
of protein. This proportion or ra-
ton of protein to non protein sub
stances is what is known as the
nutritive ration. 1t is designated
"N. r." To make this term more
comprehensive let us figure the nutri-
tive ratio IN. r. of one OF our COM
mon feeds-wheat bran.
NUTRITIVE RATIO EXPLAINED.
The table of digestible nutrients
tell us that 100 pounds of bran con-
tain II pounds of digestible protein {;
AZ pounds of digestible carbohydrates
and % pounds of digestible fat.
The first step is to reduce the fat to
terms Of carbohydrates. This we do
by multiplying the 2.5 pounds of fat
by two and one fourth, because each
mound of fat contains as much energy
as two and one fourth pounds OF car
bohydrates. This gives us 5.625

The poorest and the righest were given an opportunity to ex- press their sentiments. Out of 800 replies seven gems wee se- lected as follows:
 Home A world of strife shut out; world of love shut in.
 Home The place where the small are great and the great are small.
 Home-The fathers kingdom; the mothers world, and the chil- dren's paradise.
 Home The place where we grumble most and are treated best.

Increased Appropriation for farm Work.

There has been a gratifying in crease this year in the appropria- tions made by the various quorum courts of the state at the recent annual meeting. Last year the quorum courts of thirty counties in Arkansas appropriated $25. .525 5Z to aid in the employing of local agents in Demonstration Wo k. This year the quorum court of for two counties have appropriated $45, ,45O GO. There are about ten or twelve other counties that are now engaged in raising funds by local subscription which indicates that the total amount contributed by the people of Arkansas for the support of demonstration work will be at least one-half greater than it was last year. This result is very gratifying and indicates that dem onstration work is rapidly growing in favor with the farmer.
