Should De in Reach Of Stock at All
Times-Hogs Without Salt

Prof. Evvard, Of Ames, Demonstrates
Condition and Proves Theory
Give All Will Eat.

That salt must be in reach of stock
at all times in order to make most
rapid growth, has been demonstrated
by the agricultural department station
at Anies under the direction of Prof
J. NJ. Evyard Several lots of hogs
were fed under the same conditions
except that different amounts of salt
were given. The animals which re-
ceived only limited amount were
much lighter and less thrifty than
those that always had salt before
them. Even the animals that received
all the salt they could eat when fed
twice week were lighter than those
which had free access to it. This ex.
pertinent also showed that even If the
same amount were given, the self-feed-
ing method gave the; best. and most
economical results. What is true
hogs is true OF other animals as we'll.
"'rhe correct amount of salt for any
animal is all lie can eat" says John

Unreasonable.

|a d H
A Scottish farmer whose farm was
on the hills to the north of Stfathmcre
had bought, while on. visit to Perth,
his stock of matches for the winter.
Possibly one. or two of the boxes may
have got damp on the way home. Any
way. when his wife took out the first
box she found that the matces would
not light. The farmer also tried them
unsuccessfully, taking samples from
several boxes.
On his next visit to Perth he took
the pile of match boxes with him and
threw them indignantly on the counter
of the tobacconist with the remark.
They Wilma licht!"
''Winna licht!' repeated the shop.
keeper. surprised. He took out one
match, drew it smartly across the side
of his trousers leg and brought It up
alight. The farmer watched him in
tently. and the shopkeeper repeated
this with number OF the matches,
each of which sputtered into flame.
What do you mean, he demanded,
"by sayin' they Wilma licht?"
Aye" said the farmer, but do you
think can come doom a the road to
Perth to hae a rub O. your breeks every
time l want licht?"

evrTEaMlLk is VALUABLE.
It is Excellent as Supplement to
Balance Corn.

ghe,farmers who have, an abundance
of butter-milk for their swine do moi
fheed to feed tankage or Other
supplements to balance the corn ra
,tion. Answering an inquiry upon this
point, the Animal Husbandry depart
ment of Iowa State college makes this
statement:
"Of all the supplements to corn the
milk supplements, skinned milk and
butter-milk are most efficient. There
is only one that is better than these
and that is whole milk; but of course,
you cannot afford to feed butter fat
to pigs when it will bring 40 cents on
the market"
Concerning the relative value OF
butter-milk and tankage. the experts
at Ames figure that when tankage
can be bought for $3.50 hundred,
butter.milk is worth approximately
25 cents a hundred pounds.

Suppose the ammunition should give

tion of those who think that the re.

that but for these supplies the war
would have to stop. Such would no
doubt, be the case II one side exhaust.

this would be ending the war not by
cutting OFF the motive power, as some
seem to figure the process, but by en-
abling one side to triumph over the
other to an extent hardly precedented
In warfare. Whichever side lacked
arms capable of competing with q
STORM of shell and shrapnel would be-
delivered over, bound and helpless. to
the enemy. Could we look for an ear
ly peace to result from shortage OF
ammunition on both sides? Some
have predicted an early end to the
war because neither side could meet
the enormous demands Of quick firing

sumption. So long as armies are ON

speetion-They Will Receive
Prompt Attention There.

There is one chance to fight the
Hessian fly in spring that Iowa wheat
growers should not neglect. This is to
plow' up any infested wheat stubble or
dead volunteer wheat left, over from
last year. Flowing should be done
just as early as possible to bury the
insect in the "flaxseed" stage before
the flies emerge.
During the winter the insect is pres
ent in this "flaxseed" stage on wheat
plants or even on old wheat stubble:
EARLY in spring, in April, adult flies
emerge from these "flaxseeds" and de-
post eggs. From these eggs hatch
the small white maggots, which cause
the damage to wheat.
Last year the Hessian fly was re.
ported from 20 counties, and indica-
tions are that it occurred in as many
