Feed Grain to Weaned Calves.

Calves are usually fed whole milk
for two to three weeks, then grad
ually changed to skim milk. About
the time of changing, begin to feed
a little grain, but do not think that
it is necessary to use oil meal or any
other high-priced feed, high in pro-
TEN, or fat, or both. Experience
shows that a mixture of two parts OF
corn and one part of oats, by weight,
gives as good results as oil meal and
ready-mixed calf meals often pur-
chased at much higher prices. Bran
is not especially good for the young
calf because it is too laxative. The
grain mixture shuold be fed imme-
diately after the milk and neither
should be fed too literally or scours
may result.

Here's a Cheap Feed Crop.

Last season farmer realized about
the first of August that he was go
ing to be short of feed for the win
ter. lie couldn't see where he was
going to be able to buy feed either,
and was just getting a nice start in
cattle that he didn't want to sell.
He figured that there was time
enough to raise feed. so he disked a
piece of oat stubble up, after a rain,
and swept a mixture of all kinds of
grain out of his granary, with which
the land was sowed.
The crop went succotash a few bet
ter as a mixture. In addition to corn
and soy beans, there were peas, oats
millet and rye. But it grew well
and made several loads of fine feed.
Maybe some one who reads this
would like to try the same thing

bees" was to expose to the air a mix
ture of corn meal and molasses until
IT. became impregnated with wild
yeast and other bacteria. The fer
ment so produced was employed To-
cally in making a sort Of vinegar or
certain alcoholic solutions, by adj
ding it to a mixture of water and
either brown sugar or molasses,
which then was followed to work or
ferment.
The recent inquiries seem to have
been stimulated by enterprising in
dividuals and firms for advertisers
make extravagant claims for the pro-
duct and ask a fancy price for it
which, the yeast specialists of the
department say, is out of all proper
tion to its original cost or to its ac-
tual worth. In some of the adver-
tisements which have reached the
department the sellers assert that the
substance when mixed with water
and molasses or sugar will produce
beer or wine. other promoters go
so far as to say that the fermented
mixture is beneficial in the treatment
of rheumatism and kidney trouble,
claims which have no foundation in
fact.
In the opinion of the departments
specialists, a product made by catch
ing yeast and bacteria indiscriminate-
ly from the air may very well con-
tain harmful as well as desirable or
ganisms, and the specialists state
that great care should be exercised
in both the preparation and the use
of such a product. In their judg-
ment, bees" is not as well suited
for producing alcoholic fermentation
as is the ordinary yeast cake, and
they cannot recommend it at all for
making vinegar.-U. 5. Agricultural
Bulletin.

Feed the Colt Well.

Skimping the colts feed is an easy
method of throwing away money.
especially when the price of draft
horses is growing higher each sea-
son" says j. s. Cogey Of the animal
husbandry department. Ohio State
University. Prof. Coffee points out
that the feed and the care a colt gets
during the first year and a half of
its life determines what 1t will be at
maturity. Encourage the colt to
eat early, preferably feeding crushed
oats and bran in equal parts. Let the
colt have alfalfa and clover hay as
soon as he will eat it. Maximum
growth stunted early never fully re-
covers"

FARM DEPARTMENT


The cost of pork Is reduced mater
tally by the use OF pasture and for
age crops, but 1t is desirable to feed
grain or other concentrated feed in
addition. In some sections of the
country where pastures are luxuriant,
mature hogs are maintained in an
apparently satisfactory condition on
pasture alone This practice should
not be followed, however, in the case
of young, growing pigs, because they
will become thin in flesh and stunt
ed il compelled to live on pasture
alone.
Hog raisers differ widely regard
ing the quantity of grain that should
be fed to hogs while on pasture. Some
feeders give them all they will con-
sumo. Others feed a ration equal
to about . TO per cent of the live
weight of the hog. Still others will
allow pigs to run on pasture and
feed them a l per cent gain ration.
There Is no fixed rule governing the
supplementary grain ration which
should be fed in combination with
forage. The amount of grain fed
depends upon the kind of pasture us
ed, the price of grain. and the mark
ct.
Pasture forage has a variable COM
position. Alfalfa. clover, vetch. and
peas furnish feed much richer in pro-
TEN than most other crops. Where
hogs are feeding on leguminous pas
ture they require less concentrated
feed than when grazing upon non
leguminous pasture such as timothy,
orchard grass. Bermuda, or blue
grass. In the early stages of growth
Ithe cereals may be classed as nitro
genous forages. A farmer may have
more hogs than his pasture will ac-
commodate. When this is the case.
the pasture will last longer IL full
grain ration is fed. The more grain
a hog consumes, the less forage he
will eat.
When grain is high. II is rather
expensive to feed a supplemental
grain ration. At such times there
Is a great temptation to place the
hogs upon pasture alone. This
practice will hardly ever pay, for 1t
generally takes more grain and more
time to finish off the hogs than II they
had been fed liberal ration while
on pasture.
The amount of grain used will al
so depend upon the length of time
the feeder has in which to fit the
hogs for market. Hogs that are
marketed from 10 to IL months old
are usually maintained on pasture
alone during the grazing season. II
any grain is given at all 1t is very
light. In this way the greater per-
centage of growth is made from the
cheaply grown forage, Where rap
id finishing is desired. the liberal
use of grain is important.

how to select the food that will help
her most in laying eggs and keep her
in the best of condition. Some old
ideas with regard to poultry feeding
we're proved sound, and some others
were disoredited by the hens. They
almost all showed a decided prefer
ence for wheat, which is very gem
orally used as a poultry feed Kahr
stood next in popularity, followed by
corn and corn meal, but oats and
sunflowers were not eaten as much
as many people would have expected,
probably because the hen is not able
to digest much food containing
high percentage of crude fiber. The
hens that did eat sunflower seed were
seen cracking them and eating only
the softer portions inside, possibly
because they wanted to get rid of the
crude fiber in the shell.
Bran is often used in poultry feed
ing, but the hens in this test which
could get other feed almost always
choose it instead of bran. Alfalfa
leaves were tried. but not eaten to
any great extent.
Animal food of some kind, such as
the beef scrap or sour milk, is gen.
orally regarded as very necessary for
laying hens, but most of the hens in
this test did not eat much more beef
scrap while laying than. while not
laying. Two actually ate more of
it when they were not laying.
other tests at the Missouri Station
have shown that the use of either
beef scrap or sour milk makes the
hens egg record at least twice as
good as though she we're fed no an
imal feed whatever, and that sour
milk is slightly better than beef scrap
for this purpose, in addition to be-
ing cheaper and easier to get on most
farms.

Alfalfngrans.

Cast your alfalfa before swine and
your wife can wear pearls.
To rejuvenate a tired soil or sub
due hard, dry, stubborn soil-shoot
It full of alfalfa roots.
No other farms change hands less
frequently than those having well set
alfalfa fields.
To say that any fool can grow al
fslfa" is misleading, but with decent
treatment under ordinary favorable
conditions. alfalfa is bringing goo |
fortune to tho vsands of those who
know it best and who, in their deal
ings with it, use fair intelligence.
The progenitors of our race in far
middle Asia depended upon alfalfa
as forage.
1t was in alfalfa pasture that the
grazing Nebuchadnezzer found heal
ing and restoration of his senses.
Alfalfa is a glutton for lime.
In former times when farmer
and a mortgage got on a Kansas
farm, the man too often was the one
who had to leave, but since alfalfa
came it's the mortgage that has to get
of.
1t was but little more than two de-
cades ago that Kansas City, incred-
ulous and in wonder, saw its first
carload of alfalfa hay Last year
1871 cars were received and dis
tributed there.-F. ID. Coburn in

A New Silage Corn.

One of the outstanding features OF
the Ell Paso (Tex.) Chamber of Com
merce exhibit at the International
Soil Products Exposition, was dis
play of Coahuilena corn, grown in
the Rio Grande Valley near Pass City
by T. Davis Porcher.
Coahuilena corn takes its name
from the Mexican State of Coahuila,
It's habitat. IL grows there from 10
40 Is feet in height. producing from
zone to three ears to the stalk. The
seed was introduced into the United
States by wealthy Mexican refugee
last spring. Only limited quantity
of seed was available. This is 100
4 day corn, and was drilled in rows
az feet apart and about Is inches
apart in the row. In its new sur
roundings Coahuilena corn grows
from IS to 25 feet in height, which
is accounted for by the deep, fertile
soil of the Rio Grande Valley, form
ed by deposits of alluvial silt.
Secretary Fraser of the Chamber
of Commerce of Ell Paso, and Farm
Demonstrators A. c. Graham cut the
corn on the Porcher ranch early in
September when 1t was ninety days
from the seed and still in the dough.
Graham says that Coahuilena corn
will produce, conservatively, twenty
five tons of ensilage to the acre, and
that the yield of the grain should be
not less than thirty bushels. The
corn in question was grown with on
ly two irrigations, and has proven
that IL does not require more moist
ure than other varieties.

seaweed Furnishes Potash.

Some thousands of farmers along
the shores of the Gulf of st. Lawrence
and the Atlantic Coast. need not
shed any tears over their inability to
obtain commercial potash, when they
can get plenty of kelp along the sea-
shore for the labor of gathering it.
This mixed seaweed which we get
consists mainly of kelp, but includes
rockweed and moss. 1t is a most
valuable manure. The dry matter of
kelp is as valuable, pound for pound,
as kainit. The wet, fresh kelp, at
present prices of potash, is worth
$3.50 per ton.

The Chicago Department of Health
suggests simple home test for dir
ty milk. A perfectly clean funnel
is used with a small piece of clean
wire netting fitted in the neck open
ing and a thin layer of clean cotton
batting on the wire netting. Stand
the funnel in a large glass fruit jar
and filter a quart or more of the milk
through the cotton. Remove the
cotton and place on a clean white
card to dry. This will show all evil
dences of dirt in the milk.

Garden Plots and Patriotism.

We farmers, as a rule, are not a
class of men who can boast of bank
accounts upon which we might draw
to purchase American flags, so our
patriotism must manifest itself in
some other form. One of my patriot
ic neighbors, by the way, has be-
come so enthused over the matter
of preparedness that he has laid
out his small farm to resemble Old
Glory. seven rows of red-top beets
representing the CORY stripes, with
six rows of white turnips alternated
between them. On one corner of the
plot six rows of cabbage heads indi-
cate the As stars of the Union Jack
and on the fence post at the upper
corner of this American flag sits a
stuffed henhawk with spread wings
resembling the American eagle. This
is not all. No, indeed! He has ar
ranged a set of bugle calls for the
dinner horn which begin at the
hour of reveille and at which every
member of his patriotic household
tumbles out. Military salutes have

watermolons Have AnthracnOse.

sections of the country frequently
suffer loss from disease which
blights the foliage and spots the fruit
The leaves are covered with irregu-

trouble develops on the fruit In the
form of water-soaked and later sunk
en- spots of varying size, which come
TO have a pink center made up OF
masses of the fungus spores, AS the
disease progresses the melons de-
cay. This is anthracnose, ana Is
caused by a parasitic fungus relat-
ed to those which produce the apple

Tests Show Foods Preferred BY Hens
Perhaps the best way to find out
what hens like is to ask the hens. AT
least. that was the plan followed by
the Missouri Agricultural Experiment
Station in recent tests in which
weighed amounts of various feeds
were placed before the hens and what
they left of each kind of feed was
weighed back so it was possible to
tell what kind of feed they had eat
en- and what they had passed by. At
the same time careful record was
kept of the number of eggs laid by
each hen and her changes in weight.
The test seems to show that the
hen knows better than many people
