PLANT CORN RIGHT

Good seed corn planted properly in
thoroughly prepared seed bed means
a good start toward big crop. This
means that the seed should be care
fully tested, the seed bed well pre-
pared, and the drill or planter plate
properly selected so that the seed
will be dropped evenly.
If large kernals of different sizes
are planted with plate which has
small holes, occasional missing will
result, causing poor stand. The on
ly way to be sure that the plate is
right is to place some of the corn you
expect to plant in the planter boxes
raise the planter from the ground till
the wheels can be turned by hand and
see that the right number of kernels
drop regularly. Even with the best
adjustment, satisfactory results can
not be secured if kernels of very diff
ferent sizes are mixed.
Discarding the nubs or butts ane
the tips helps to avoid this trouble
but much better results will be OBJ
tanned if the corn grader has beer
used. G. Hackleman, Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture.

CHICK CHATTER

Well fed is half raised.
Poor feeding kills many chicks.
Give no feed for two days after
Matching.
Leg weakness results from lack of
bone-making feed
The first chick feed should be a dry
mixture of cracked grains. Cracked
corn, wheat, kafir, and pin-head oats
are all good.
Feed sour milk or beef scrap to help
build muscle, feathers, and bone. One
per cent Of bone meal should also be
included in the ration.
Feed three times day and no
more, but add rolled oats to the chick
feed twice a day and stale bread
crumbs or corn bread will do if there
are no rolled oats on hand.
Feed finely cut lettuce, onion tops
or other green stuff if the chicks can.
not be allowed to run on grass, fol
they must have something of this kline
to keep the bowls working properly
Poor growth and lack of thrift u.s.
ually indicate something wrong with
the feeding. A few grains of sand
during the first few days after hatch
ing help to prepare the stomach fol
food later, though the chick is still
living on the yolk drawn into it's body
just before Matching.
Commercial ground feed may be
fed, or a coffee grinder may be uset
in cracking the grains, Never feet
wet mixtures until the chicks are a
least five weeks old. Use corn mea
| that has not heated in sack or biz
and place a wire screen over it in thu
trough to prevent it from beinl
scratched out and wasted.-H. z

as true in road dragging as in fence
fixing and other farm work. Don't
let the rush of spring work cause you
to neglect road dragging until the
ruts are so deep and the weeds have
such a start that the drag cannot do
its best work. A little careful work
now and during the remainder of the
season will not only keep the roads
in good shape but keep down the
weeds in such way as to save great
deal of work. at weed-mowing time

HEALTH GUARDS
CLEAN FOOD MEANS
LIFE FOR BABIES

With the approach of warm wealth
err our attention is drawn strongly to
the preservation of the health of ba-
bies and children. One-fifth of all the
children born in this country die dur.
ing the first year of life, and from one
fourth to one-third die before the age
of five years. In large cities this ear
ly death rate is particularly marked,
but it is too common everywhere. The
majority Of these cases can be saved
by the simple expedient of clean food.
1t is needless to say that the best
food for a baby is it's mothers milk.
This food is sterile, at the proper tenn
perature and clean. There are many
mothers who for one reason or an
other are unable to nurse their babies,
and entirely too many who refuse to
do so on account of the trouble it en-
tails.
Careful observation has shown that
the number of deaths among wholly
or partly fed on the bottle are from
ten to fifteen times as great as among
breast fed infants. We have not yet
succeeded, and probably will never
succeed, in preparing an artificial
food for infants equal to mothers
milk.
When children must be artifcially
fed, cows milk is the material almost
universally used as a substitute, and
much can be done by taking proper
care of it, says DR.. M. p. Ravenel of
the department Of preventive medi-
cine of the University Of Missouri at
Columbia.
First, it must be drawn from heal
thy cows; second, the COW should be
curried, and the udder and TANKS
moistened before milking, as this
does much to prevent the falling Of
germs into the milk during milking;
third, it must be Immediately cooled
and kept cold; and fourth, the nursing
bottle must be thoroughly sterilized
and kept clean and sweet. The long
rubber tube which was so popular 9
few years ago is an obomination
since it is almost impossible to keel
it clean. The best bottle is wide
mouthed one fitted with nipple with
out tube. This kind can be bought
at any drug store at the present time
Both must be kept scrupulously clean
The milk should be protected from
flies. Flies are filth breeders, and car
nv on their feet and on their bodies
many germs obtained from the filth
When a fly falls into milk, taking j
out does not prevent the seeding OF tn
milk with filth germs.
Parents should always know tina
by comes from a healthy COW and i
the milk upon which they feed ba
clean. When this is impossible, tn
milk should pasteurized by heating
to a temperature of las degrees TO
80 minutes and then cooling rapidly
Pasteurized milk requires more car
in it's keeping than raw milk.
Pasteurization destroys germ life
but cannot take the dirt out of milk
Much of the ordinary dirt which get
into milk is stable filth and soluble
While pasteurization serves yer
useful purpose and has saved the live
of many thousands Of babies, on
thing must always be remembered
that pasteurization can never make
dirty milk clean.
In feeding babies, cleanliness is tn
watchword from the beginning to tn
end.

BLUE GRASS FOR HOGS

Blue grass has long been profitably
used by the Missouri afrmer for feed
ing cattle. 1t has not been generally
recognized that it may also be util-
lied for pork production. At the Mis-
souri, Experiment Station during the
five-year period from 1908 to 1912,
the average amount of pork produced
from an acre Of blue grass amounted
to $26 when the live weight value of
hogs was calculated at cents per
pound.
In securing these returns from blue
grass pasture it is necessary to recog-
nize two qualities, which clearly dis
tinguish blue grass from alfalfa, clo-
yer and rape pasture. In the first
place, a much larger amount of grain
must be fed to hogs on blue grass than
to hogs on rape, clover or alfalfa.
Another difference lies in the fact that
during the middle of the summer from
about July Is to August 30 blue
grass is of little value for hog pas
turo. During this time clover, al
falfa, or rape pasture should be pro-
vided. The grain fed to hogs on blue
grass pasture should be well balanc-
ed-a grain mixture of six parts of
corn and one of linseed oil meal, or
ten parts of corn and one part of
tankage. A good rule to follow in de-
termining the amount of grain to be
fed is to feed just as much grain as
will cause the animal to gain an av-
erage of three-fourths of pound a
day per hundred pounds live weight.
F. B. Mumford, Dean Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture.
