IOWA FARM NEWS AND NOTES

Topping all else, the rudimentary
principles Of agriculture, including
seed selection and testing and the
treatment Of seed to prevent fungus
growths, are taught In rural schools.
Other elementary knowledge Is taught

Is in charge, seeks to reach the farmer
thru the school, pulpit, press and thru
other channels. At the recent Polk
county corn show at East Des Moines
the corn palace was decorated with q
load of corn which had not been
touched by the hand Of man excepting
perhaps to load and unload it from
the wagon. The soil was plowed,
disked and narrowed by machinery,
welded, harvested and husked by ma
chinery. 1t will be shelled in the same
way. Much Of this work is made pos
sible by the great caterpillar plows Of
the age, which take dry or muddy soils
and drag from one to thirty plows or
disks with harrows at a time.

system will be complete.
In using the device parcels are placed

Causes and Cures Of churning Trouble
at This Time Of Year Explained.

Nauae8 and Cures OF Churning Trouble
at This Time Of Year Explained.
In answer to the large number Of
inquiries received each winter and
spring by the dairy department Of
Iowa State College as to the causes
of difficult churning' and their RENEE
dies, the department gives these sug-
gestions:
Difficult churning may be due to the
smallness and hardness of the fat
globules, this due to the fact that many
cows are now far advanced in the
period Of lactation. The cows are
Furthermore feed on dry feed, which
increases the hardness of the globules.
To overcome this the churning tenn
perature must be increased to Sc to SO
degrees F.
There may be too much cream in the
churn. To get sufficient agitation the
churn should never be more than one
third to one-half full Of cream.
The cream may be too rich or too
thin. In either case, churning will be
difficult. Cream containing 30 to 35
per cent fat should give best results.
The cream may be too sweet. Sweet
cream is too viscous to churn readily.
It should be properly ripened, which
is often not done at this time Of year
because the temperature is usually
low wherever the cream is left. Cool
each lot Of cream just after it has
been skinned 80 it will remain sweet.
The next morning, heat to Sc to 6S de.
grees F. Then add 2 to per cent
starter, which may be made as follows:
Set away a bottle of clean, fresh milk,
which has not been heated at a tenn
,perature Of 6S to 20 F, until it coagu-
lates. If it coagulates as "a smooth.
solid curd without pinholes, if the
aroma is clean and pleasant and the
flavor creamy, it may be used as a
starter.

Spraying Cuts Hog Feed Bill.

Ames, Jan. 13.-One thorough spray

says the animal husbandry department
at Iowa State College. Just now, while
the hogs are closely bedded. Is a good
breeding time for lice and the best
time to treat for them.
Huddle the hogs close together, spray
them thoroughly, remove all bedding
and spray the house thoroughly and
both hogs and house will be louise free
for the winter
Crude oil is advised over coal tar and
other dips because 1t does not produce
evaporation, which Is cooling process
and likely to chill the hogs.

sILAeE TO STEERS FOR PROFIT.
Tests Show SiIase For Beef Cattle Ca,
Be Fed to Reduce Cost Of Gain,

Tests Show SiIage For Beef Cattle Can
Be Fed to Reduce Cost Of Gain.
That corn silage In the beef cattle
ration can be fed SO as to reduce the
cost Of gain 81 to 50 per cwt. is
shown by tests conducted at the Iowa
agricultural experiment station and on
many Iowa farms where tests wer.
conducted in cooperation with the COL
lege.
III. G. Mclean Of Fairfield, a. grad
uate of Iowa State College. reports that
In the winter Of 1854, he fed TWEEN
ty-seven head Of 1,037 pound steers 100
days at an average gain of 300 pounds
per steer. Following is Mr.. McLean's
statement of the way he fed his steers:
The steers We're started on twenty
pounds of silage, LIS cottonseed meal
and all the clover hay they would eat.
At the end Of fifteen days after they
were put in the feed lot they were eat
ing. sixty pounds silage,. four pounds
cottonseed meal and ten pounds clover
hay day. The average daily feed
between the fifteenth and eightieth day
was eighty-four pounds silage, four
pounds cottonseed meal and five to
seven pounds Of clover hay. The av-
erage daily feed from the S0th to Tooth
day was IA pounds shelled corn, 30
pounds silage, pounds cottonseed
meal and 4 pounds clover hay"
During such feeding period It will
usually prove very profitable to feed
about four pounds Of cottonseed meal
or oil meal day. The steers can then
be gradually brought to heavy grain
ration and finished for market In so to
100 days. The grain period should be
as shora as 1t can economically be
made to get good market finish, be-
cause the gain Is much more expen-
sive during such period. H..
Fertilizer Facts For Soil Sections.
Definite facts regarding the fertilizer
needs in each section of the state will
soon be ready for distribution to the
farmers by the soils department Of

These field experiments are made to
supply farmers and others with in
formation regarding the value Of
manure. phosphorus. lime and COM
mercial fertilizers on the different soils
of the state. Hundreds of such in:
quiries are received each year by the
department.
