QUESTION FOR LAMB FEEDER
Must Find Most Economical concen.
trate to Be Used In Fattening
His Young Animals.

(By j. B. M'NULTY, Colorado Agriculture
al College. Fort Collins. Colo.)
The question which the man who
would be a successful lamb breeder
must solve is that of the most econom-
ical concentrate to .9e used in fatten-
ing his lambs The fact that most
feeders are using alfalfa for rough
age simplifies tn problem consider
ably. Alfalfa supplies the protein, and
when fed with fattening concentrate
such as corn or barley, reduces to the
minimum the amount of feed required
for a pound gain Experiments prove
that corn is just trifle better, pound
for pound, than barley, when both are
fed in connection with one Of the
leguminous hays, such as clover or al
falfa.
There Is little data on the economy
of feeding corn alone with upland or
timothy hay or with corn slower. This
Is due to the fact that such ration
would not contain enough protein.
Doubtless barley would somewhat ex
eel corn, pound for pound, when fed
with roughages lacking protein. Whole
barley may be fed very successfully to
fattening sheep.
The fact that cottonseed meal can
be purchased for price comparing
favorably with that Of corn has sug-
gested the feeding Of this concentrate
with alfalfa hay for fattening lambs.
In this combination. however, we have
two feeds high in protein and conse-
quently an unbalanced ration. OH
meal or cottonseed meal can be fed
quite extensively with timothy hay and
roots, in which combination either will
give very good results.
Few records OF sheep fattened on
cottonseed meal and alfalfa are avail
able, for, as rule, protein-rich feeds
(alfalfa and oil meaD are the most
expensive nutrients of q ration and are
not usually combined. It is very prob
able, however, that some cottonseed
meal can be fed when alfalfa is fed, il
we use mixed ration of corn and cot
tonseed meal. The best proportion
would perhaps be one-third cottonseed
meal and two thirds corn, either shelled
or cracked. This combination should
give good results and at the same time
be much less conducive to digestive
disorders than q ration Of cottonseed
meal and alfalfa.

from one field to another by scatter
ing this mixture in front Of them.
The bran bait will be eaten greedily
while damp, but hardly at all when
dry. It is therefore important that the
bait be scattered In the evening. or
better yet, at early daylight.
Cutworms may also be killed by the
use OF the bran bait. Scatter 1t about
the hills of corn.
The corn root-aphis is perhaps the
worst insect pest of the corn-belt corn

upon the roots of the young corn, be-
ing carried from place to place by the
common field ants, which keep and
herd the aphis as sort OF domestic
animal for the "honeydew" 1t secretes.
The eggs of the aphis are kept over
winter in the nests Of the ants. Rota-
ton is the best means of fighting the
aphis, as it does not feed on small
grain or legumes. However, II an in
tested felu must be planted to corn
a second year, the aphis may be
checked by deep blowing and disking
during very late fall or winter. This
breaks up many Of the ants nests, de-
stroying both ants and aphis eggs.

despite the seedlings Of his mother.
One Sunday morning she sent him
off to church and intimated to him
that il he went to sleep they would
go into executive session in the wood
shed on his arrival from church.
AS a test of his being away she re-
quired that he tell her the preachers
text when he went home.
Johnnie's natural propensity to
sleep was Offset by his fear as to what
might happen in the woodshed, so he
stayed awake.
He came back conscious of the fact
that he was on the safe side, and
when his mother asked him what the
text was he unblushingly accused the
preacher of the following text: Moses
was an oyster man and made oint-
ment for the shins of his people"
The real text was: Moses was an
austere man and made atonement for
the sins of his people"
