LIVE STOCK RELISH
FEED WHEN COOKED
Found Quite advantageous When
Given to Dairy Cattle During
Cold Weather of Winter.

Whenever the question as to the ad-
visibility OF cooking feed in its prep
aration for stock is raised in a group
Of feeders. there is an argument The
question is one that is hard to decide
upon. because there are so many
things that enter into II that will deter
mine whether or not IL is the best
thing 70 do. There is little doubt that
in some cases II is advisable, but yalu-
able as some cooked feedf are on any
farm, there is danger that tho enthu-
siasm for them viii, cause IL to be over
done and the result may be positive
danger TO the stock. The old saying
about getting too much of a good
thing" may not give favorable results
II carried too far in this case.
Warming feed IN cold weather for
one feed day is a good practice, but
a hot feed three times a day should
be condemned The hot meal has its
place. but az a steady diet il will do
more harm than good. On cold days,
when stock have an opportunity TO I'LL
on warm feed. they will suffer with the
cold more than II the feed had not
been warm. warm feed once day
is very much relished, and when fed
with other feed such as hay, fodder
and other roughage that is not cooked
will assist the animal greatly in keep
ing in good condition. Dairy cattle
can be handled a little differently, for
a little warm feed during cold weather
at each milking. fed In connection with
the other feed. will be found advan
tageous. as the animal win respond by
giving an increased flow u milk.
The two objections to cooking feed
are that 1t sometimes requires toe
much labor. and that some feeds are
made less digestible by being cooked
When food Is cooked the protein In II
will coagulate. thus causing II 70 be
less digestible. This is illustrated By
The fact that when an egg is coosed
he albumen. or white, is less digesti
BILE than II Is when II is raw. Som'
feeds that contain little protein. as po
tatoes. are greatly improved by cook
ing. and many other feeds can be mad'
palatsble by cooking that would no
otherwise be eaten by the stock

FRENCH TONIC FOR
THE YOUNG TURKEYS
II Is Of Greatest Importance 10
Begin Treatment Before COM
mencement of the Red.

A French authority, many years
ago. recommended the following tonic
for young turkeys during the critical
stage:
Take cassia bark in fine powder,
three parts; ginger. ten parts; gentian.
one part; anise seed, one partj car.
Donate of iron, FIVE parts; mix thor.
oughly by sitting.
A teaspoonful of the powder should
be mingled with the dough for 20 tur.
keys each morning and evening. II
is of the greatest importance to begin
the treatment a fortnight before the
appearance of the red. and to continue
II two or three weeks after.

USING GROUND CORN

Missouri Experiment Station Has
Been Investigating This
Question for Two Years.

Does II pay to grind corn fer fatten-
ing two.year-old steers7 The Missouri
experiment station has been inyesti-
eating this question for the last two
years. While this investigation is not
yet completed. results obtained Up to
the present time Indicate that more
rapid gains in live weight and quick
er finish may be expected by the use
OF ground grain. Cattle also feed more
uniformly on ground than on whole
corn. There is no dou3t but that two
year-old steers will much more COM
pletely digest ground grain ami the
finer IL is the more completely il will
be digested.
The work at the Missouri College OF
Agriculture shows clearly that when
ground corn Is fed fewer hogs are
needed to follow the steers. The fig
ures obtained Indicate that from II TO
% per cent of the value OF the ear
corn fed TO steers should be charged TO
the hogs, while with finely ground
corn chop IL will not be more than 3
TO per cent. The evidence concern
ing the total gain in live weight on
cattle and hogs per bushel OF corn fed
Is not yet conclusive. II is not likely
that there will be much difference be
tween feeding ground or whole grain
II the hogs are properly cared for and
II the feeding is done in lots which are
reasonably free from mud.

Make Hens Pay.

The kind OF chickens you should
breed depends largely on what you
are breeding for. whether for eggs or
for market broilers. Then some like
one breed the best and some like
another. This question of breed Is
best left for the breeder to decide but
whatever breed you may choose, be
sure that the strain is pure.

Best Tim. 70 Sell.

Under average conditions and with
the majority OF crops and stock. the
best time to sell is when fully ready.
Holding beyond this time increases
the cost and adds to the risk Of loss;
besides with grain there is always
more or less loss by shrinkage that is
unavoidable.

Kansas and county Of Shawnee. The
state legislature made a direct appro-

haps, to bring it about than any other

Use the Money in the Wrong Way

Secretary of State Botkin has issued
circular letter relative to the the ex-
penditure by county commissioners of
the money received for automibile and
motorcycle license The letter says:
''The law governing the sale and trans
fer of automobiles is being violated in
some parts, and in some cou mites am
informed the coun ty commissioners are
using automobile and motorcycle license
fees for the building of new roads and
bridges. The attorney-general advises
me that this violation of the law and
that it is the duty of the commissioners
to use all such fess in road improve
ment. 1t is surley to the interest
of the owners of cars to have
it so used. You can aid this department
materially bXreporting all violations of
law that come to your knowledge and
by insisting that your commissioners
spend the money obtained from auto
mobile and motorcycle license fees for
the improvement of your county roads
and that they spend it judiciously and
in manner to get best results Oak

Here are a couple of experiences
from the life of Michigan medical
doctor:
"a school boy, only twelve years of
age died from excessive cigarette
smoking During his delirium he
continually asked for cigarettes and
matches, going through the motion OF
/ lighting cigarettes
lone of the saddest cases l have
known in Michigan was boy ten years
of age and still in the priafnary grade.
His father smoked cigarettes and the
little fellow had been taught to smoke
at home, when only five years of age;
and while the boy had good shaped head
his mind was so affected that he never
had been able TO learn even his letters
so that he could remember them from
one day to next. His body was so stun
ted that he was no larger than many /;
boy of five or six years, and there wa:
little hope that he would ever be abb,
