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 di-
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 S100,000,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 winteriIg
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.

The fact that farmers are crying for

An enormous amount of labor is in

be kept clean IL a crop is TO be pro-

want to till his soil whether weeds

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 we'll 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 a broom or brush so as
TO get the oil we'll into the skin. Where
crude oil is used, it will be noticed that
the skin and hair are improved in ap-
pearance. Where the floors of the pens
or sheds are of dirt, a liberal appli-
cation of oil will keep down the dust
as we'll as aid in killing lice.

processes. While direct methods may
often be effective, the most successful
will be those having TO do with the
conditions of agriculture and the meth
DDS of tillage and increase the pro-
ductivenesS of the soil.
Weeds grow where they can find
room TO grow. Some crops then per-
NIT certain weeds to grow with them,
while another weed may find congen-
ial conditions with another crop. Thus
cookie and cheat have grown with
wheat perhaps as long as wheat has
been cultivated.
Purslane and pigweeds are always
found in gardens, thistles and muIleins
in pastures, whitet0p in meadows.
If the pea vine, horse nettle crab
grass, foxtail, ragweed, etc., become
serious in the cornfeld, SOW it down
to grass, one crop in the rotation de-
stroying these weeds gaining a foot
hold with the preceding crop. Thor
Ough cropping of the land and judi
cious systematic rotation of the crops,
are conditions against which no weeds
can stand; and, inaSmuch as these are
all vital conditions of successful agri-
culture, it may be said that weeds are
never serious when the land Is well
farmed.
Purslane was cultivated for green's
in Massachusetts and later taken to

GLOVER AND ALFALFA BLOAT
Trouble Is Due to Fermentation OF
Sugar Contained i'm Blossoms
Formalin Is Favored.
(By DIR. c. C. LIPP.)

According TO circular of the Ken
lucky experiment station, it 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 SO per cent sugar, al
falfa blossoms 2.S per cent Soon aft
er being eaten, fermentation begins,
resulting in the production of 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 u per cent solution is given as a
drench. This L u per 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 it may be used on q
moments notice should necessity re-
quire.

Cerfaiin-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 asphalts,
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. Ii produces
a roofing more pliablc 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
ment for possible Improvements. Their constant
endeavor is to make the best roofing still better.
The quality Of CERTAIN-TEED is such that
it is guaranteed for 5, 10 or Is years, according
to thickness Il, 2 or 3 Ply. Experience proves
that it lasts longer. Behind this guarantee is the
responsibility of the worlds largest manufac-
turer of roohngs and building papers.

CARE OF CREAM IN SUMMER
Cleanliness Is First Rule to Observe
Dirty Surroundings Result in
Poor Milk.

During the hot days of summer the
farmer who is selling cream TO the
creamery finds it a problem to keep
his cream in the proper condition.
However, there are but q few simple
rules which should be followed that
would result in better cream. First
of all these is cleanliness. Dirt, re-
member, carries bad fiavors. If the
barn or its surroundings and cows
are dirty ii will result in poor milk !;
poor milk results in poor cream; poor
cream results in poor butter.
