MUCH CATTLE FEED WASTED
Failure to Utilize Full Value Of Mate
rial Increases Cost of Meat
Production.

vast quantity of feed available
for cattle is now either wasted abso-
lutely or put TO some less profitable
use. according TO a recent report of
the department of agriculture. Fail
ure to utilize the full value of their
material has increased unnecessarily
the cost of producing meat, has d.
minished the profits from cattle feed
ing, and has discouraged many farm
ers from engaging in an industry es-
sential TO their permanent prosperity.
According to this report, the loss In
grain, straw and corn slower amounts
TO more than s10O,0OO,O00 annually.
Both of these products are disposed
of most economically when fed to
cattle in connection with some form of
concentrated feed. Straw is especial
ly valuable in carrying the breeding
herd through the winter, in wintering
stOckerS and as supplementary
rOughage for fattening cattle. Slower,
too, is an excellent feed for wintering
cattle, especially mature breeding
cows. Nevertheless, in many sections
of the country where these products
are abundant. little attempt is made
to take advantage of their value for
these purposes.

REMEDIES FOR LICE ON HOGS
Nebraska College of Agriculture Says
Crude OIL Probably Cheapest and
Most Effective.

OF the remedies commonly used for
lice on hogs, the Nebraska college of
agriculture says that crude oil Is prob
ably the cheapest and the most effec-
tive, as Ii kills not only the lice, but
the nits as well at one application.
The most convenient method of apply
ing is by means of a hog oiler, of
which there are several good types.
These have the advantage of being
always ready and need little attention
except keeping oil supplied The best
type Of oiler is one that enables the
pig to get the oil to all parts of the
body. If there is any indication of
skin disease, the part should be
scrubbed with broom or brush so as

crude oil is used, it will be noticed that

The fact that farmers are crying for

Of weeds. Not only are these weeds
troublesome TO cultivated agricultural
crops, but they are troublesome in
meadows and pastures. The cornfieIds
and cultivated crops generally must
be kept clean if a crop Is to be pro
duced. OF course, the farmer would
want to till his soil whether weeds
occurred or not. A soil that is not cul-
tivated would not produce a remuner-
alive crop. But the weeds have come
to stay, and the farmer must TIL the
soil to keep the weeds in subsection.

Cerfain-teed
Roofing

takes its place in the sun" and holds it longer
than other similar roofing, because it is made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphals,
and coated with blend of harder asphalts
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process SO
destructive to the ordinary roof
The blend of asphalts used by THE General
is the result of long experience. 1t produces
roofing more pliable than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.
AT each of the Generals big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine,
test and blend the asphalts used; also to expert
mcnt for possible Improvements. Their constant
endeavor is to make the best roofing still better
The quality of CERTAIN-TEED is such tina,
it is guaranteed for 5, 10 or Is years, according
to thickness q, 2 or 3 Ply. Experience proves
that it lasts longer Behind this guarantee is the
responsibility of the worlds largest manufsc-
turer of roohngs and building papers.

Antidote for Loneliness.

A little North side miss, whose
mother is dead, lives with her little
brothers and sister at the home of her
grandmother. Her father, who is a
physician, has his office and home In
another part Of the city.
Surrounded by everything which
brings happiness to the heart of q
child. the little girls thoughts often
wandered TO poor daddy, who was all
alone.
One day she surprised her grand
mother with the startling remark :
Grandma, | wish daddy was police
man."

is a physician, and that is a very good
profession, you know"
''Yes. grandma" persisted the child,

CLOVER AND ALFALFA BlOAT
Trouble Is Due to Fermentation Of
Sugar Contained in Blossoms
Formalin Is Favored.


According to circular of the Ken
lucky experiment station, ii has been
found that the cause of bloat in cat
tie following the eating of either
clover or alfalfa pasture is due to the
fermentation of the sugar contained
in the blossoms. Red clover blossoms
contain about 3.6 per cent sugar, al
falfa blossoms 2.S per cent. Soon aft
er being eaten, fermentation begins,
resulting in the production OF a consid-
cradle quantity of carbon dioxide. This
distends the first stomach or rumen
and produces the condition known as
blOat.
The authors Of the Kentucky bulle-
tin strongly recommend the use of
formalin for this condition. One quart
OF a l u per cent solution is given as
drench. This u pei. cent solution is
made by adding three tablespoonfuls of
formalin TO one quart of water. Gentle
exercises should be given the animal
If possible after the medicine has been
given. This treatment Is simple, safe,
and inexpensive, and should be kept
on hand so that 1t may be used on
moments notice should necessity re-
Quire.

CARE OF CREAM IN SUMMER
Cleanliness is First Rule to Observe

During the hot days of summer the

However, there are but few simple
rules which should be followed that
would result in better cream. First
of all these is cleanliness. Dirt. re-
