COOKING FOOD

The old theory held by almost
everyone tor many years was that all
feed must be cooked to produce the
most gain when fed. This has been
shown to be wrong in most cases
it has been proved that there is an
actual loss of food value in cooking
for fattening purposes. An exception
to the above, should however, be no.
ted in the case of potatoes. The Ore
gon Agricultural College has shown
that when three times the weight of
cooked potatoes is fed with rolled bar
ley, very economical gain can be
had. The University of California
is conducting a correspondence course
in Swine Husbandry, everyone inter
ested in hogs should enroll, all that is
necessary to do so is to send card to
University of California, West Berk-
eley, California, Animal Husbandry
Department requesting them to enroll
you for course in Swine Husbandry
this course is free and should be
taken up by all ranchers

THINGS THAT COUNT

Here are some of the farm leaks
ickety gates and slip-shod bars; tum-
bledown fences; no shed for cows on
rainy day; and no shelter in the
field on hot one; ashes thrown in a
pile to leach; cabbage leaes left to
rot in the patch when cows are near
hog manure left to wash away for
years; old boards and big apple tree
limbs hauled away as waste instead
of putting them on the wood pile for
fuel; dishwater and soap-suds thrown
aside instead of on the garden; using
good farm papers for waste instead of
exchanging or saving to read over
wagons and plows left unsheltered +;
and turkeys allowed to roost on fences
or in trees.-C. L. Davis.

SUDAN GRASS
PARTICULARLY ADAPTED
FOR DRY LAND

Sudan grass belongs to the sorghum
family, and is considered by some au-
thorities to be the wild, original form
of the cultivated sorghums. 1t is a
tall annual grass, being somewhat like
Johnson grass in general appear
ance; but it lacks the root stalks of the
latter, and never becomes a weed.
Under favorable conditions it may at
growth is dependent to some extent
upon the moisture of the soil. If sown
broadcast it does not grow SO high as
when planted in rows which permit of
cultivation.
Sudan grass is particularly well
adapted to the dry land sections, as it
produces good yields of i:ay, and un
der average conditions should produce
two cuttings of hay in a season. 1t is
very drought-resistant and will sue
coed where it is possible to grow anv
other sorghum.
In feeding value, Sudan grass can be
compared with the millets, making a
large crop of hay during the warm
weather. Hay made from Sudan grass
is preferable to millet hay, as it can
be fed to all classes of livestock with
out injury. The stalks are fine and
can be readily cured into hay.
The crOD NAV be grown either
drilled, in cultivated rows or broad
casted. If drilled or broadcasted, from
10 to Is pounds of seed is sown per
acre, while if planted in cultivated
rows, the rows being about thirty
inches part, two or three pounds Of
seed should be used per acre-James

Station.

CAUSE OF EGG EATING HABIT

Egg eating is caused by lack Of
nests, overcoming, want of oppor-
tunty to exercise, or lack of litter to
exercise in, and nests that are loca-
ted low down in the light where the
chickens are tempted to scratch out the
eggs. Once the trick is learned, no
eggs are safe, and the birds that first
learn this bad habit communicate it
to others. To prevent, give plenty of
room in the hen house, and have a
suitable place for the chickens to
scratch in. Put the nests in seclud-
ed corner, as dark as is practicable,
and furnish enough of them Give
the chickens plenty of green food Diff
ferent cures are advocated Some say
that quantity of china eggs scat
tered over the chicken house floor will
discourage the practice; others that
bushel or less of egg shells fed liberal
ly will satisfy the hens craving for
lime, and break up the habit; others
that old plaster and plenty of grit is
a help; occasionally someone will
claim that eggs doctored with red pep
per puts stop to it, The best cure
is prevention.

CONFORMATION

A perfect hog should, when viewed
from the back, front or sides, resemble
a paallelogram as nearly as possible.
Back, belly and sides should be
straight and parallel, with ribs well
sprung head short and face dished
wide between the eyes, full jowl,
rounded at the sides, ears thin and
soft and neck short and arched. Legs
wide apart to give plenty of room for
lungs and heart. Avoid swaying
back and see that the hams are wide
as the shoulders and drop square to
the tail, well-rounded to the stihe.
Must stand we'll on toes and not down
on claws. Above all, remember that
the packer doesn't buy daylight and
the less of that seen between the
hogs belly and the ground the better
Color does not bring price, either
don't matter whether black. red or
white, conformation is what counts.

DAIRYING PAYS ON DRY FARM

Those of the dry farmers who have
been experimenting on selling cream
instead of butter, have demonstrated
the fact that couple of cows will
maintain a house and family. Feed
for the cows costs nothing during
the summer, as grass is plentiful, and
sufficient to produce good flow of
milk containing the required amount
of butter fat. This experiment has
solved the problem of how to handle
butter during the summer mnoths.
AS cream brings fully as much or
more than the butter from the same
amount of milk, leaving the separated
milk to be used sweet, as calf, hog or
chicken feed, this business supplies
the farmer with ready money each
week as regularly as he markets the
cream, and by raising his own stock
feed the cost of wintering the cows

WHAT AN EXPERT
SAYS ABOUT
RAISING TURKEYS

Inbreeding invites failure.
Turkeys thrive best on grass
range.
In dressing, turkeys shrink about
a third.
The Bronze is the giant of the tur-
key family.
The parent stock must be strong
and vigorous.
Hens are in profit until five years
of age.
Gobblers should be changed each
year.
Boston is said to be the greatest
market for dressed turkeys.
Hens must not be allowed to be-
come too fat before the breeding sea
son.
When the gobbler is in a too fat
condition infertile eggs is the general
result.
The wild breeds are known as Mex
lean, Honduras and North American.
Turkeys are of roaming DISPOSE
ton and cannot be kept in confined
place.
1t is estimated that breeding
flock of six should produce from Is
to 100 young.
Two-year- old toms to four-year-
old hens make reliable matings.
IaaanIc uphn1acn
food, freedom from lice and dry,
healthy quarters.
The domesticated breeds are the
American Mammoth Bronze, White
Holland, Narragansetts, Black, Buff
and Slate.
Turkeys are reliable for both incu-
baton and brooding.
Grass and insects are natural food
for turkeys.
An English writer declares that the
eggs from young breeding stock pro-
duce the greatest number of gobblers.
Corn should be fed only during cold
weather or when nearly ready for fat
tening for market
1t is a noted fact that if the COB
bier is present during the time of lay
ing the first clutch of eggs, the second
clutch will be fertile without his pres
ence.
Turkeys for market must be dry
picked.
In catching turkeys avoid rough
handling.
A trio of turkeys should produce
40 or more young during a season.
While mature turkeys are the most
hardy fowls, young turkey chicks are
the most tender, needing protection
and care
The Bronze variety is great favor
lite, owing to its large size, tameness,
beauty and hardness.

ADVANTAGES OF
SUMMER FALLOWING

Among the many advantages to the
lowing may be mentioned: The con-
servation of moisture, the eradication
of weeds, the preparation OF the land
for grain crops at time when no
other work is pressing, the availability
of summer fallowed land for seeding
at the earliest possible date in the
spring ard the minor advantages of
having suitable land for the growing
of pure seed, potatoes. roots and vege-
tables at the least cost and with the
greatest chance of success, and that
OF being able to secure two crops of
grain with little or no further cult
walton.
Summer following undoubtedly has
some disadvantages, but so long as
the growing of grain, and more par
ticuldrly wheat, remainssthe principal
industry of the province, it will be
necessary to store up moisture against
possible dry season, to restrain the
weeds from overrunning the land. and
on account of the short seasons, to
prepare at least portion of the land
to be cropped in the year previous to
seeding and a well-made summer fall
low is the best means to this end
Among the disadvantages are: The
liability of the soil to drift, the over
production of straw in a wet season,
causing late maturity and consequent
danger of damage by frost, and it is
claimed, the partial exhaustion of the
soil. The former two may, to great
extent, be overcome by different meth
DDS of cultivation, and if the soil can
be prevented from drifting, one of the
reasons for the latter contention will
disappear.

JUNIORS VS.. FRESHMEN

The Freshmen will try to redeem
themselves next Friday. They claim
that as the last game was their first
appearance in a real nne-inning game
played before the public, they were
little shaky, and they believe they
will make the honors even by captur-
ing this game. They will also be play
ing to redeem their lost standing in
the high school. The Juniors are con
fdent that they will carry off the the
honors easily A good game is as
sured. The last game was the first OF
the season, SO the large score record
ed can be excused on this account.
The Freshmen will have their old
lineup. The JUNIORS will be greatly
strengthened Ernest Matthews, the
heaviest hitter on the regular high
school nine, will face his brother when
he comes to his turn at bat. Ernest
has never been seen on the diamond
because he has been busy and has
had no time for practice. He holds
third base for the Juniors. The bat
teries will be- Summers and Hilbun
