SILAGE INCREASES
PROFITS IN LAMBS
Addition of SheIIed Corn and
Clover Hay Reduced Cost of
Gain at Purdue.

The addition of corn silage to a
ration of shelled corn and clover hay
reduced the cost Of gain on lot of
lambs fed at the Purdue station 40
cents per hundred pounds. 1t also
slightly increased the selling value of
the lambs, and increased the profit
% cents per lamb. When the corn
silage was added to the ration, it was
found that slightly less of the shelled
corn was eaten and at the same time,
the rate of gain on the lambs was
slightly decreased. The amount of
hay consumed by the lambs also was
reduced when silage was added, 121
pounds of the silage reducing the hay
consumption 072 pound daily per
lamb.
Without silage, the ration of shelled
corn and clover hay produced gain
on proportionately the same quantity
Of grain as did the same ration with
silage added. Considerable hay was
saved, however, as twas found that
1853 pounds of silage reduced the guam
tity of clover hay consumed in max
ing 100 pounds of gain by 1919 pounds.

.ENSILAGE RELISHED
BY FARM ANIMALS
Greatest Use of Feed Has Been
for the Dairy CoWS-Beef
Cattle Also Like 1t.

Ensilage is relished by most farm
animals. The greatest use made OF 1t
has been for dairy COWS, thirty to fifty
pounds being fed each cow daily at the
North Dakota experiment station. 1t
can be fed to beef cattle too, but they
should be fed about half as much as
the dairy cattle. Young stock can be
fed ensilage in proportion to their size.
Some grain and hay should be fed
with ensilage. If the hay is alfalfa,
the grain can be decreased and in
some cases omitted.
Sheep relish small amount OF en-
silage, two to three pounds day is
q good amount. Some feeders give as
high as five or six pounds.
Horses can be fed ten to fifteen
pounds of ensilage a day. 1t has a
good deal the same effect on them as
pasture. Hogs like a little ensilage
and especially so if it contains a good
deal Of corn. Ensilage is bulky food,
a good deal like pasture in it's effect
on the animal. 1t is important that it
be free from mold, as this causes
trouble. Horses should not be fed en-
silage that has been frozen, though
with other stock it seems to be all
right provided. it is thawed out be-
fore feeding.
Three silos are in use at the North
Dakota experiment station.

FEED CHILDREN
On Properly Selected Food. It Pays
Bio Dividends.

If parents will give just q little IN
telligent thought to the feeding OF
their children the difference In the
health of the little folks will pay,
many times over, for the small trouble.
A mother writes: "Our children are
nil so much better and stronger than
they ever were before we made .
change In the character OF the food.
We have quit using potatoes three
times q day with coffee and 80 much
meat.
"Now we give the little folks some
fruit, either fresh, stewed, or canned,
some Grape-Nuts with cream, occa-
sionally some soft boiled eggs, and
some Postum for breakfast and sup
per. Then for dinner they have some
meat and vegetables.
ut would be hard to fully describe
the change In the children, they have
grown so sturdy and strong, and we
attribute this change to the food ele-
inents that, understand, exist In
Grape-Nuts and Postum.
"A short time ago my baby was
teething and had q great deal OF stom-
nch and bowel trouble. Nothing
seemed to agree with him until tried
Grape Nuts softened and mixed with
rich milk and he improved rapidly and
got sturdy and well"

LITTLE THINGS FOR
SUCCESS WITH HENS
Fowls Must Be Kept in Good
Health and Well Fed for
DEVELOPMENT.

A poultryman to be successful
must
Keep his hens in good health, pro.
viding coops that are clean and well
ventilated, and allowing the chickens
the run of orchard or pasture through
the day.
Feed his hens well for growth and
development. They should go to roost
with crops well filled with wholesome
grains, after returning from the range
and plenty of skim milk and water
should be available through the day.
See that his hens have shade in
which to rest. If trees and shrubs are
not plentiful, burlap or gunny sack
shades should be put up.
Keep his broody hens in airy coops
and feed and water them we'll. They
will recover from their broodiness IN
five or ten days.
Gather his eggs daily and market
them at least twice a week.

SUPPLY DARK NESTS
FOR LAYING FOWLS
Hens Will Dig Through Hay to
Bottom of Manger Rather
Than Use One in Light.

Hens always prefer a dark nest to
one exposed to light and will dig
through hay to the bottom of the
manger rather than use ready-made
nest in light.
A good style Of nest is made in Sec
lions Of four nests, twelve inches high
and 14x14, with just room enough be-
tween the nests and the wall for the
hen to enter The top can be made all
in one piece, hinged at the inner edge
SO that It can be lifted up when eggs
are gathered, but a better way is to
lay the top on loosely so that it can
be taken off and the entire contents
Of all the nests dumped out at once.
The nests should be fumigated with
sulphur and also sprayed with kero-
sene at least once a month.
