MAKE HlGH.c0L0 L0RED BUTTER
Any Other Dairy Feed-Breed
Has influence on Color.

Green grass is probably richer In car
otin than any other dairy feed. Cows
fed on it 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 1t
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 a 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 mllkfat, and
there is no reason for objecting in one
case to the very thing that is priced
in the other.

SINCE by holding over blazing paper
on the stove. Remove the head and
feet and don't forget the oil bag from
the tail. Carefully remove the gall
bladder and cut open or press the
heart to remove all blood. Wash the
giblets carefully In water and COOK
them, if used for gravy, separately In
simmering water, then chop and add

The real game lover prefers the
gamy taste rather than spices or sea-
sonings that destroy that flavor.
If the fishy taste is not liked, parbOil
the birds in water with a slice Of onion
before the brOiling or roasting.
Quail and partridge being white
meat should be cooked well done, u.s.
ing care not to dry 1t and lose its
flavor. Duck, snipe, grouse, SQUAD and
wOOdcock have dark meat so should be
served rare. All meats should be
steaming hot when served. When
trussing birds. use string rather than
skewers as they tear the delicate flesh.
The breasts of game during the pro-
cess Of cooking should be wrapped In
bacon. or thin salt pork, Sitting 1t to
keep it from curling. fastening on with
tOothpicks. AS game lacks fat 1t
should be well basted while roasting.
Serve it with perfectly sliced and
Drowned potatoes.
VenisOn should be cooked as one
does mutton and served rare, allowing
10 to Il minutes to the pound. Serve
with spiced grape jelly or currant jel-
ly.
Avoid game that has hung too long
as serious digestive troubles may re-
suit from such meat. Birds that are
torn with shot will not keep for any
length of time.

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 If 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 Is
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
47S pounds of Oil cake to each Of her
mature cattle, the United States ap-
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 it's 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. it is pointed out, because the
day when close calculation In feeding
was not necessary is, in all probability,
past. Hereafter it 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
inatiOn OF enormous waste.
Tensas gazette., 1916-11-10

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The waste In the United States or
vast quantity of feed available for cat
tie Is one of the important factors In
causing high meat prices. according TO
Part Nv Of a comprehensive survey OF
the meat situation in this country, re-
Gently completed by the 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 stOver amounts
to more than $1OO.OOO.OO0 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
xaly nfaO nf
value for these purposes.
OF an annual straw crop of approxi-
mately 12O.OOo.OOO tons. it 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 plOwing 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 If all kinds OF
straw is placed at about 50 ton. lr
many sections. of course, no such price
can be realized for it, and as matter
of fact only sabout 8 per cent of the
crop actually is sold. The figure men
toned, however, may be taken as rep
resenting the value to the farmer o.
straw If he will use it properly in hi
farming operations as feed or bedding
In order to illustrate how this may b.
done the report gives three sample ra
tiOns for wintering a breeding herd o
beef cattle on straw combined witt
silage. shock corn, and cOttOnseed o
linseed meal. Any one Of these ra
tions, it is said, will prove economical
They are as follows:
