PROPERLY BALANCED RATIoNS
Report Of Results Of Tests Made by
Illinois StatIon-DIgestIble
Nutrients Saved.

(By H. r. FLINT Minnesota Experiment
station)
A balanced ration Is "one in which
each of the different food materials or
nutrients is present in just the right
proportion and amount to meet the
needs of the animals" says Bulletin
169 Of the Illinois agricultural expert
ment station. Tests indicated that
cows fed balanced rations yielded a
pound OF butter fat for each II pounds
OF total nutrients consumed, while
81 pounds were consumed to a pound
of butter fat when an unbalanced "a
ton was fed. The use OF the balanced
ration thus saved four pounds OF d.
gestible nutrients for each pound of
butter fat produced. or a pound and a
quarter OF butter fat was produced by
the same number Of pounds OF digesti
BILE nutrients In balanced rations as
was required for pound OF butter fat
when the unbalanced ration was fed.
Not only was the butter fat more
economically produced. but the cows
given a balanced ration finished the
test with better appetites and In much
better flesh and general physical con.
dition than the others. II Is not spe
cially difficult to gain the profit re
sulting from the balanced ration.

GOOD REASONING.

A certain young mans friends
thought he was dead, but he was only
in state of coma. When, in ample
time to avoid being buried he showed
signs of life, he was asked how it
seemed to be dead.
"Deadp he exclaimed. ri wasn't
dead. / knew all the time what was
going on. And l knew l wasn't
dead, too, because my feet were cold
and was hungry"
"But how did that fact make you
think you were still aliveP" asked
one of the curious.

place my feet wouldn't be cold."-

heifer calves win bring more for
breeding demands than they do now,
or will bring as feeders. AS long as
the feeder can afford to buy this class
OF cattle and make his feeding venture
profitable, or more profitable than by
using other kinds Of cattle, he viii
keep right on buying and feeding
these choice heifers. calves and year
lings. There may be little sentiment
in this business with some people, but
there are so few of this kind of per-
sons in the beef-making industry that
they are lost sight OF in the scramble
for gain Of the almighty dollar.

Thousands of young men without

that this is true not only of those

gentleman writes to the Observer
to mention that an American sur
geon, on bidding him farewell the
other day, remarked, BLOOD is
thicker than water" This statement
coming from medical man, who
ought to know, is extremely valuable.

Supplemental Cow Feed.

For green feed to supplement the
pasture during the latter part Of
summer aud early fall. one acre for
10 head Of cows should be planted.
Have one large field. and drill the
corn the long way of field. Be sure to
have the ground finely pulverized and
rolled; the field can then be quickly
planted and early cultivation given.
Corn is the best crop to grow for green

WHEAT PRICES TUMBLED
AGAIN; IN CENTS DOWN

Wheat prices took another tum-
BILE today, going down IN cents.
Cancellation of big foreign orders
the past few days are responsible.
Most of these were with Italian
firms. The plan of the Italian gov
eminent was said to be to prevent
any speculation in wheat and agents
for the big firms feared to have the
large orders filled, only to find that
their government would set a maxi
mum price on the wheat, to give the
consumers the lowest possible price
In Kansas City, wheat opened at
$1.O8%, closed at $1.O6b; corn
opened at 713s cents, closed same.
Chicago was a cent lower, open and
close, according to the Geoffroy
Grain company's quotations. -

GOOD ROADS DAYS TO
BE POSTPONED TILL FALL

After several conferences by the
good roads boosters of the city and
county it has been decided that this
county will not try to observe the
good roads day set for Wednesday
and Thursday of next week. The
recent rains have SO delayed the
farmers that they are unwilling to
give an hour of sunshine to anything
except saving their wheat. The sit
uation is SO serious that road over
seers are unable to hire men to
work on the roads. The town folks
could do little without teams and 1t
is believed best to give the farmers
a chance to save their grain at this
time. Later in the fall 1t is pro-
posed to have a county roads day.
