DRY-MAsH FEEDING FAVORED
Poultry on Range Should Have Access
to Supplemental Feed-DeVice
to Prevent Waste.

(From the United States Department of
AgricultuTe.)
The feeding OF dry mash to farm
poultry on range is not practiced as
generally as it should be. Dry mash
is compounded of finely ground grains,
and usually contains some animal pro-
tein in the way of beef scrap. fish
scrap, etc. This dry mash is intended
TO supplement the grain ration and to
be an additional source of supply to
the chickens on range.
Dry mash always accessible to poul-
try helps to promote a rapid and uni
form growth and is economical. Poul-
try is not inclined to overeat of dry
mash. The usual method of feeding
wet or moist mashes. however, unless
care is taken, is wasteful and danger
Gus. Poultry will overeat of wet mash,
and this mash spoils quickly if not
consumed, particularly in hot weather.

other hand. also may be wastefuI if a

GUESSING AT COST OF ROADS
Need of Standard System of Account
ing for Hishways-DifficuIty of
Iowa Commission.

There are so many conflicting state
ments regarding the cost of road work
that the desirability of a comprehen-
sive method of highway accounting is
evident in order that taxpayers may
not be misled concerning the total ex-
pense of such work, according to
American Highway. The Iowa state
highway commission has had cOnsid-
cradle difficulty in finding out what
the counties in that state have been
spending, because Of this failure to
have complete system of accounts.
One rich county reported collecting
$4,000 for road work, but after in
vestigation the commission found $780,
800 had been collected. An investiga-
ton OF the accounts OF another
wealthy county reporting $4,000 col
1ected revealed a total collection of
SIS, 600. The discrepancies were not
due to an intention to hide the amount
Of the funds but merely to lack OF
good accounting.

PICK HlGH-PRoDUcING FOWLS
Paleness of Shank Is Very Reliable
fndication-AIso Birds With
PIiabie Combs.
CBy W. A. LIPPINCOTT, Kansas Agri-
cultural Experiment Station)

(By W. A. LIPPINCOTT, Kansas Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.)
1t is not only possible but desirable
to pick out the producing hens in
the flock by means of external char
acteristics.
Hens that mott late are high pro-
ducers, because they have a longer
period in which to lay. Late melting
is the accompaniment of late laying,
but the mere fact of late molting does
not make high producers. The hens
that mott late begin laying as early
as the early mOlters, because they
mott much more rapidly and lose less
time.
In the yellow-skfnned breeds the
paleness of shank is very reliable in
dicatiOn in the fall at the end of the
first year. The high producers lay the
color out of their shanks, and so any
bird that still has yellow shanks after
a year of laying likely has been a poor
producer for that year.
Those birds with soft and pliabIe
combs about October 1 are in general
better producers than those with hard
and dried-up combs. As a bird motifs
the comb tends to shrink and become
hard, but birds in good condition and
laying have pliable combs.

ANIMALS
SMALL uTTERS FROM gifts
Time for Breeding Depends Largely on
Size, Vigor and Age-LiabIe to
Be Stunted.

The time for breeding gifts depends
upon their size and vigor as well as
their age. However, it is seldom adj
visable to breed a gilt before she is
eight months old, and in many cases
ten or twelve months is q better age.
What is gained by getting a litter OF
pigs soon may be lost in getting a
small litter. And if the usefulness Of
the sow as a brood SOW be impaired
the total loss In the end Overbalances
the gain in getting her TO produce
early.
Too young gifts almost invariably
have small filters. Then their mann
mary organs do not develop right, and
this in turn affects the size Of litter
they will raise next time. II a SOW
gives milk out Of only six teats she
cannot raise a dozen good pigs Also
too young SOwS cannot stand the strain
of nursing a litter. They do not have
the vitality to produce a large flow Of
milk and grow at the same time
If gilt is once really stunted in this
way she never develops as she other
wise would. She is likely never to
raise such strong and vigorous filters
as she could If allowed more maturity
before breeding.

STRAW UTILIZED IN EUROPE
Made Quite PaIatabIe by Mixing With
Beets, MangeIs, SiIage and Other
Forage Crops.

In effect, a recent bulletin Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture asks why the American farmer
cannot put straw to the same use as
it is put by the European farmer. In
Europe the farmer knows as well as
the American farmer that straw is not
liked by stock, but instead Of burning
1t, or otherwise wasting it, the Euro
pean farmer chops it up, mixes it with
beets, mangels, silage or other feeds.
and makes it so palatable that it can
be fed to good advantage.
The report states that the bureau OF
crop estimates has found that 10 per
cent of Nthe straw produced in the
United States is burned. In many dis
tricts there are no cattle and remote
ness from a suitable market makes the
sale of the straw improbable. But in
such cases farmers would profit by an
investment in few cattle.

Detail of Dry-Mash Hopper.

properly designed device for feeding
is not employed. The following device
is an efficient and economical feeder
and may easily be constructed.
This hopper is constructed of inch
boards II inches wide. The top may
be hinged for convenience in filing
or the entire top may be made remOv-
able, affOrding in this case better pro-
lection from the weather. The v
shaped bottom of the food container
is made of one-fourth-inch square
mesh wire, such as is used in render
ing corn cribs and grain bins rat proof
The fiat tray, above which the food
container is supported by the end
boards, should have drainage holes
Wooden cleats should be fastened
along the point of contact of the wire
mesh with the end boards, thus max
ing a closed joint and preventing
waste.
substantial advantage in this form
of food hopper will be found in that
it gives no opportunities for the wedg-
ing in and smothering of young chick
ems, when crOwding around the feeder.

shipped in carload lots by owners than
any other class of live stock Cattle,
hogs and calves follow in the order
named. In sales to local buyers hogs
lead, with calves, cattle and sheep fol-
lowing in order.
The study discloses that the time of
buying stockers and feeders and the
selling of finished animals is restrict
ed too generally to a few months of
the year. Should stock-feeding opera
tons be better adjusted to market con-
ditions, decided influence toward a
more even distribution of the supply
would be the result.
Cooperative associations of cattle
Iaisers are becoming an important fac
tor in marketing, the report shows.
Seven hundred and fifty organizations
which market cattle in a cooperative
way now exist in 10 states. Four
hundred and thirty of these organiza-
tons are primarily livestock shipping
associations. The greatest activity of
this sort was found in Minnesota,
where 215 cooperative livestock ship
ping associations are located. The de-
partment specialists declare that these
associations bring greater returns to
the farmers because of the reduction
of marketing expenses and the realiza-
ton of the prevailing prices at the cen
tralized markets, and that they are also
valuable because of their educational
features.
The system of centralized livestock
markets in the United States is the
largest single factor in the marketing
of meat animals. It is noteworthy that
this system is peculiar to the United
States, no other country having de-
veloped such markets for their live
stock. Not only is live stock sold for
slaughter at the centralized markets,
but large proportion of stOcker and
feeder cattle also passes through these
market centers.
The chief outlet for food-producing
animals in this country, the study dis
closes, is wholesale slaughtering and
meat packing. Such industries usually
are associated with the great central
lied markets. More than 1,200 slaugh-
tering and meat-packing establish
ments were operating in the United
States in 1914, and turned out products
worth S1,651. 765, 424. The specialists
report that one of the striking features

The Lexington-KnOxvil1e link is in
course of construction now and will be
passable within six months. The trip
from Nashville to Chattanooga can be
made over the mountain, provided dry
weather precedes the trip; otherwise,
the road by way of Huntsville, 100
miles farther, is best. The counties in
central Florida are hard at work on
the road anG hope to provide a good
route in another year. 1t is the aim of
the Dixie Highway association to pro-
vide route within two years time that
will enable motorists to travel comfort
ably from Chicago to Miami in six
days.

SPLENDID SPECIMENS OF BEEF TYPE.

of the industry is the concentration of
ownership. Packing establishments buy
directly from the producer in Califor-
MIA to a greater extent than in any
other state or section. This practice,
which in the opinion of the specialists,
will continue to be important in those
parts of the country remote from cen
tralized markets, is most characteristic
of the western group of states in gen.
eral. There is a decided difference Of
opinion among producers, marketmen,
and packers as to the effects of this
practice in sections supplied with CEN
trail markets on the general market
prices of live stock and on the pros
perity of cattle raisers.
Municipality owned or controlled
abattoirs are becoming increasingly i'm
portant in the local marketing of live
stock, the report shows, and are dis
placing rapidly the old type of slaugh-
terhouse. Public abattOirs have been
established in % cities and 13 states.
Local conditions should determine
whether or not a city should build its
own abattoir, and a thorough examina-
ton of conditions, therefore, should be
made before definite action is taken.
Great variations were found to exist
in the losses of, and damage to, live
stock in transit on different railroads.
On one road the claims paid amounted
| to 10 per cent of the revenue during a
| certain period, and on another to less
than 3 per cent. The total claims for
such loss and damage in 1913-1914 on
q railroads were S1,245,477.S1. The
average rates on live stock for the
years 1911 and 1913 were found to be
10 cents per hundred pounds for east
ern or official territory, 11.9 cents for
southern territory, and 14.9 cents for
western territory.
The correlation between average live
| stock and meat prices over relatively
! long periods is closer than is generally
understood. When the price of live
stock rises or falls, meat prices tend to
| change in the same directions, but the
| meat prices are not subject to abrupt
daily fluctuations, which are one of the
most adverse features of livestock
market conditions.
In order to secure information as to
the relative cost of the different fac
tors or steps in the processes OF mar
keting animals and the proportions of
the final price reaching the farmer and
| other parties to the transactions, the
specialists traced several typical lots
| of beef cattle from producer to con-
sumner, both through centralized mar
kets and where the animals were dis
posed OF locally. In the former case the
farmers share of the gross returns
ranged from "a per cent to 50 per cent,
while from 2 per cent to 5 per cent
went to pay market expenses, 2 per
cent to 9 per cent was received by the
packers, and per cent to 80 per cent
by the retailers. In the local sales
from 81 per cent TO 81 per cent Of the
gross returns was received by the
farmer and from 10 per cent to 80 PEI
cent by the retailer. The detailed fig
ures indicate. however, that even wheI
account is taken of the fact that lower
grade stock is sold locally the return:
from such sales are not as great rela
lively as those from sales through cen
tralized markets.
