KEEP ALL STRAW
FOR STOCK FEED
With Silage, Roots or Grain 1t
Makes Good Ration-Also
Valuable Fertilizer.

Many farmers do not realize to
what extent straw Is valuable, or
how to make the best use of 1t. Large
quantities of straw have been burned.
in the past. as the easiest method of
disposal. but from now on 1t will be
used to a great extent with silage.
roots, grains and the like. In using
1t with silage 1t serves a double pur-
pose-it helps keep certain kinds OF
silage from spelling in the silo. and
1t is a good filler for stock feeding.
Straw is especially poor In crude
protein and fat, and rich In cellulose.
or woody fiber. This makes 1t par
ticularly useful in the winter time for
horses and cattle. as 1t requires a
great deal of energy to masticate. d.
gest. and pass 1t through the body.

straw is being used at the Hays ex-
pertinent station at the present time,
are eating quite a large amount Of
this straw and have gained in weight.
Oats straw Is far more nutritious than
wheat straw and ts much preferred by
stock.
After stock have been allowed to
run to a straw pile, the straw will soon
decay and contain considerable
amount of droppings from the animals.
which makes it valuable as a fertil-
izer. Wheat straw makes excellent
bedding material, as 1t does not break
up badly, and will absorb more mois-
ture than either oats or rye straw.

also used in the paper industry. II a
farmer has large amount of straw
and has good shipping facilities, he
may be able to dispose of 1t at profit.

BUILDING A RACK

Use Two Pieces of Very Strong
Wood and Have Blacksmith

Take two 4 by 8 pieces Of very
strong wood not less than eleven feet
long and not more than twelve and cut
a notch 80 as to fit down over hind
bolster Of wagon to prevent rack from
slipping backward or forward. Use
four or six standards on each side and
the same number OF CROSS pieces and
at the same places make sure that the
standard In going down through the
standard socket catches and prizes

make standard sockets from old
wagon tires to admit standard one

ALFALFA PASTURE
FOR LIVE STOCK
Has Higher Feeding Value When
Cut at an Early Stage-Bet-
ter to Feed Than Sell.

Alfalfa Is Invaluable as a pasture
for live stock. For hog pasture II
is especially SO. Ten pounds Of green
alfalfa produces one pound of pork.
Figuring on this basis, an acre OF
green alfalfa, Weighing 10000 pounds.
viii make 1000 pounds OF pork which.
at FIVE cents pound. is worth 500.
This estimate ia true when corn and
alfalfa are fed together.
Alfalfa has a higher feeding value
when cut at an early stage of maturity.
about one-tenth In bloom, than when
out In full bloom. 1t contains more
nutrient value, pound for pound. than
any other forage crop, being almost
equal to wheat bran In digestible nu-
trients. Alfalfa compares favorably
with cottonseed meal, soy beans and
wheat bran In amount OF digestible
protein. Since the price OF these con-
centrates is higher than the price OF
alfalfa, 1t is cheaper and more proflta-
BILE to feed alfalfa.
The best way for the farmer to
market alfalfa hay is in the form of
horses. hogs, beef. mutton or dairy
products. Such products are easily
taken to the market. and the ma
nure, which may be returned to the
soil. is almost equal in value to the
hay itself. Under all conditions, II
is better to feed alfalfa to live stock
than to sell It as a marketable prod
uct 1t Is advisable for the farmer to
sell his hay only when he has more
than enough to feed his live stock.

For many years have followed the
method Of allowing my pigs to run
with the sows as long as the sows
will permit them. My theory is that
sows are made for that purpose, and
l see no reason why young pigs should
be taken away from their mother as
long as she has milk for them. The
more milk the pigs get. the better 1t fs
for them.
l use matured sows for breeding,
and try to have them In very good
flesh at farrowing time, but not fat.
They do not get too thin from suck
ling. and very often come in season in
time to breed for fall litters, before
pigs are weaned.
Another thing: feed my pigs near
ly all the corn they will eat, although
! know this practice is condemned by
many hog raisers. When they are
very young. give them little slop
made of shorts, water and bit of oil
meal.
l feed the pigs in an inclosure by
themselves, and never give more at
one time than they will clean up.
feed them little slop all through the
summer, and give them a free run Of

have all the sweet grass they can eat,

Good Rule to Follow.

Half of the fun of anything is look.

of 1t keep coming back to bless and

third Of them are duplicates.

Yale, Harvard and Princeton
have joined the rebellion of the
college athletes against the
archaic rules governing their anna
teurism.
The rebellion of college play
ers and their determination to
play baseball in summer means
that, within few years, the best
university men will be blaying
with major or minor league base
ball clubs for money and openly.
Either the university athletic
authorities must surrender and
permit students to earn money
playing ball in vacation or the
students will play anyhow and
forfeit the right to play for their
schools. {
Captain Dana J. Wingate Of the
Harvard team, Captain Barnard
Rhodes of Princeton and Captain
Porter of Johns Hopkins and Cap
tain Walden of the Navy recently
have openly advocated summer
baseball. Further it is proposed
that Yale, Harvard and Prince
ton enter into an agreement to
permit summer baseball playing
and thus stamp their approval
upon ito encouraged other
schools to follow.
Even those students who be-
lieve in pure, amaeturism have
surrendered. Western COLLEGE
leaders have for years urged the
release of students, arguing that
student skilled in playing has
as much right to use his talents
earning money in vacation as has
one to earn money tutoring.
George Huff of Illinois, author of
the definition, Amateur rules
don't make amateurs; they make
liars" has been the leader.
A year ago a movement was
started to organize a subsidiary
majer league composed entirely
of college men under college
coaches, to play on major league
grounds while the major league
teams were away. The response
to this was amazing. More than
800 college baseball players ap-
piled to me for chances to play
In that league. l had letters
from some Of the biggest college
athletes of the past, praising the
plan, and scores of them frankly
admitted that they had played for
money, in spite of rules, during
