larger portion Is filghtless; this, no
doubt, owing to the fact that for ages.
ever since the sea swallowed up a con-
tinent, leaving only the islands COM
prising the present Dominion Of New
Zealand, there have been no destruc-
tive carnivora In the land, except those
small ones imported recently to aid In
abating the rabbit pest and, having no
enemies, the birds also had no use for
wings, which ceased to develop, and as
years rolled by left many species with
only little nubbins for wings and abb

Centuries ago there were In exist

Hint for Builders.

The factory inspection department
of the state of Illinois has issued a
gratuitous suggestion to architects
builders and factory owners recon-
mending the incorporation of an l..
beam into the construction of all
large buildings, supported by brackets
extending from the upper. part of the
building by which scaffolds may be
supported for the use of painters,
sandblast cleaners and others having
occasion to work on the front of the
structure. The beam furnishes a track
for tro'leys from which the scaffolds
are hung, and is a safety feature and
great convenience, saving a great
deal of valuable time usually spent In
rigging up devices of one kind or an
other to support scaffolding. 1t al
lows the swinging platform to be
moved rapidly in any direction, does
away with thrustouts, and the move
ments of the men are not attended

MAKE HlGH-COLORED BUTTER
Any Other Dairy Feed-Rreed
Has Influence on Color.

Green grass Is probably richer In car
otin than any other dairy feed. Cows
fed on 1t will therefore produce the
highest colored butter. A ration of
bleached clover hay and yellow corn
is practically devoid Of yellow pigments
and the milk from cows fed upon il
will gradually lose its color. 1t is, of
course, indisputably true that the breed
does influence the color of the milk.
fat; but vary the ration and there will
be corresponding variation in the
color of the milkfat in each breed.
In the cows of the Jersey and Guern-
sey breeds, the bodyfat is frequently
of such deep yellow color that some
butchers and consumers look with dis.
favor upon beef from these breeds. For
this prejudice there Is absolutely no
justification. The yellowness of the
fat springs from the same causes as
the yellowness of the milkfat and
there is no reason for objecting in one
case to the very thing that is priced
in the other.

7 or 8 per cent and the total loss to
the country from the practice is esd
mated at nearly $15,OOO,OOO year.
To obtain satisfactory results from
the feeding Of farm roughages such as
straw and slower, they must be COM
bined with some form Of concentrated
feed. At the present time large guam
titles Of such feed, in the form of cot
tonseed meal and cake, corn, molasses,
peanuts and beans are exported for
the use Of European feeders. II the
straw and slower that are now wasted
were employed to feed more cattle,
these concentrates could be consumed
at home. The result would be a tre-
mendous saving not only in the cost
OF producing beef, but In the cost Of
enriching the soil as well. In 1914,
for example, about 100000 tons Of
cottonseed meal-half the total pro-
duction-were applied directly to the
soil as fertilizer. II this had been fed
to cattle instead, three-quarters OF the
fertilizing value would have been re-
turned to the soil as manure. The loss
of the other fourth would have been
far more than counterbalanced by the
profit on the meat produced economi-
cally by the meal and the necessary
roughages. Much the same thing IL
true of the other oil meals
The value of these meals is far bet
ter appreciated in Europe than here.
Denmark, for example, feeds annually
Ats pounds of oil cake to each of her
mature cattle, the United States APP
proximately "a pounds. Furthermore,
the European feeder Is aware of the
fact that the high protein meal, while
more expensive to buy, Is more eco
nomical to use. Meal Of this quality
Is seldom sold on the domestic mar
kets because the American farmer has
not yet learned its value. Cottonseed
and linseed are perhaps the best
known Of the Oil meals, but there are
others the use Of which as feed could
be profitably extended. Roth peanut
and soy bean meal and cake, for In
stance, are in good demand in Europe.
The efficient use Of these and other
feeds discussed in the report Is of the
utmost Importance to the American
farmer, 1t is pointed out, because the
day when close calculation In feeding
was not necessary is, In all probability,
past. Hereafter 1t is likely that sue
cess will depend upon ability to put to
the best use all available products. A
greater knowledge Of what these pro-
ducts are and Of the ways In which
they can be fed will result in the elm,
fnation of enormous waste.

RatIons for Cows.

In this connection it Is pointed out
also that feeding straw in the winter
will insure under certain circum-
stances the full utilization of summer
grass. In a number of western states
1t frequently happens that grass goes
20 waste because feeders are unwill-
Ing to pay the high prices asked for
steers In the spring. With an abun-
dance of straw on hand to lessen the
cost of wintering, feeders can take adj
vantage of the lower prices for stocker
cattle in the fall to secure on reason
able terms at that time enough stock
to pasture all the grass the following
year.
The production of corn slower is
about twice that of grain straw,
amounting to approximately 245,OO0,-
200 tons a year. A larger percentage
-S1.5-of this is fed than of the straw
but the waste is nevertheless astonish-
Ing. For this, poor methods of feeding
are largely responsible. BY far the
most economical method of handling
corn is by ensiling, but as a matter
OF fact only 81 per cent of the acre
age was put In the silo in 1914, the
year In which these investigations
were made. About IL per cent was
eut for green feed and 81 per cent al
lowed to mature for grain. 1t is in
the last portion of the acreage that
the greatest waste occurs. Stripping
the leaves from the stalks which are
subsequently burned, removing the
stalk above the top ear only, leaving
the stalks TO stand in the field until
the loss of leaves and teaching have
removed much of their fertilizing
value, are all unthrifty methods. Fur
thermore, almost per cent of the
stover is burned, as though, instead of
being potential source of revenue, 1t
was merely a nuisance to be got
rid of as preliminary to blowing. In
some states the percentage of stover
that Is thus thrown away is as high as

The waste In the United States of a
vast quantity of feed available for cat
tie Ia one Of the important factors in
causing high meat prices, according to
Part ~ of comprehensive survey Of
the meat situation In this country, re-
Gently completed by he department Of
agriculture. The failure to make use
OF this wasted material, says the re-
port, has diminished profits from cat
tie feeding, has unnecessarily in
creased the cost of meat production,
and has discouraged many farmers
from properly rounding out their agri-
cultural activities In carrying on cat
tie raising.
According to the report the loss in
grain straw and corn slower amounts
to more than $1OO,OO0,OOO annually.
Both Of these products are disposed
OF most economically when fed to
cattle In connection with some form
OF concentrated feed. Straw Is espe-
cially valuable In carrying the breed
ing herd through the winter, in win
tering stockers, and as a supplement
tary 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.
OF an annual straw crop of approx
mately 120,OOO,OO0 TONS 1t Is estimated
that only two-thirds is put to its best
use-live-stock production. OF the re-
mainder little more than one-half is
sold or turned under and the rest-15
per cent Of the total CROPS burned.
Burning is practically an absolute
waste and although blowing under
does contribute something to soil fer
tility, the benefit to the land Is less
than that which would be derived from
the use Of the straw to produce ma
nure. "Of all systems of obtaining
permanent soil fertility" says the re-
port, none Is SO practical or as easily
available as that of feeding live stock"
The average value Of all kinds Of
straw Is placed at about IS ton. In
many sections, Of course, no such price
can be realized for 1t, and as a matter
OF fact only about per cent of the
crop actually Is sold. The figure men,
doned, however, may be taken as rep
resenting the value to the farmer of
straw il he will use 1t properly in his
farming operations as feed or bedding.
In order to illustrate how this may be
done the report gives three sample ra-
tons for wintering breeding herd Of
beef cattle on straw combined with
silage, shock corn, and cottonseed or
Hnseed meal. ANY one of these ra-
lions, 1t is said, will prove economical.
They are as follows:

GOOD DEMAND FOR DRAFTERS
Every Farmer Should Have as Many
Mares as He Can keep-Start by
Buying Weanllnos.

Raising draft horses on the farm Is
going to be a profitable industry for
many years to come. Every farmer
should have as many draft mares as
he can afford to keep.
A good way to start is by buying
weanlings or yearling FLIES. There is
always ready market for good draft
ers at $3.50 to $500 per head and they
cost no more to raise than a horse that
would sell for 500.
