Steers that are fulfilled from birth
should not be held beyond twenty or
twenty-five months of age because
there is decided falling off in the
rate of gain. After this age the car
casses are overdone, there is an un-
due waste of excess fat and the gain in
weight in proportion to feed consumed
is much reduced as well as the gain
per day per steer. These are the re-
suits secured in a recent test at the
Missouri agricultural experiment sta
ton In which some steers were full
fed while others received much less
feed.
The steers which received feed in
sufficient for the greatest growth were
most affected by such ailments as in
digestion and pink eye, and their sick
ness was more likely to result in death.
In fact. among more than hundred
steers in the experiment, all the losses
except one were among the low-fed
animals.
Most Profitable Gains.
Steers fed for long periods such as
three years and half on feed insult
fcent for the greatest growth, did not
seem to be able to digest their feed
and to make good gains when later put
on full feed. Even a steer whose
growth was greatly retarded for only
5ne year never equaled in weight n
steer of the same age which had been
full-fed from birth. although when put
pack on full feed he made very profit
able gains and developed very choice
carcass of beef. These results do not
disagree with the common observation
that thin steers often make the most
profitable gains. Such feeders have
usually not been starved so long or so
steadily. They have usually had bulky
feed which kept up the stomach ca
pacity even though it didn't furnish a

worms, grasshoppers and army worms
will be greatly reduced in numbers by
fall plowing. This is accomplished by
turning out these insects at crucial
stage of development and exposing
them to the frosts and rains or In
breaking open the cells in which they
are transforming. This is good prac-
tice each year, but 1t Is especially rec
commended this fall in view of the pres

worms in the soil and the fact that
the army worm has been so numerow

PORK PRODUCTION ON
GRAIN AND PASTURE
Hogs Can Be Marketed Sooner,
Which Is often Great Ad-
vantage to Some Farmers.

When corn is high priced and pas
ture plentiful, it will pay to feed less
than a full feed of grain to hogs, says
w. l.. Robson in the Monthly Bull
letin of the Ohio Experiment station.
When corn alone is fed. limited ra-
ton is much cheaper because green
feed takes the place of much of the
high-priced grain.
Hogs fed all the grain they will eat
make more rapid but less economical
gains. They can be marketed sooner
which often is an advantage to farm
ers.
For hog pasture, alfalfa, clover, rape
and soy beans are recommended. Corn
ss usually fed alone to hogs in such
pasture. Pigs weighing less than 100
pounds should receive small amount
of protein feed, such as tankage, in
addition to the corn. About 1 part
to 15 parts of corn IL recommended.
With larger hogs pork production is
usually too expensive when tankage
ts fed.

PAINT METAL ROOFS
WITH Thin RED LEAD
Because of Oily Surface and
Gloss Paint Does Not Stick
Keep 1t We'll Stirred

(By ]. A. BONNELL, South Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Paint will not stick very well to a
new galvanized roof because of the
oily surface and gloss. Let it weather
awhile, then If still too glossy give it
a brushing with a wire brush.
The best prime coat for metal is red
lead thinned and rubbed on well. Let
it get thoroughly set before applying
second coat. Paint cannot dry in on
metal as it will on wood. 1t must set
and cling only to the surface. We
recommend 80 pounds of dry red lead
to one and one-eighth gallons of boiled
oil and one quart of turpentine. Thin,
IL necessary, with more turpendne.
Mix the dry lead with three-fourths
of the oil day or so before using so
as to soak it good, then add the rest
of the oil sand the turpentine when
ready for use. Stir well before and
during use, for the lead settles to the
bottom. After this prime coat, any
paint can be applied.

JUDGING POULTRY Is
NOT DIFFICULT TASK
PuIlet With Fine Head, Alert Eyes
and Fine WattIes Has Not
Gone Far Amiss.

Judging poultry is said to be finer
art than the selection of other farm
animals, says an Ohio Agricultural
college expert. but the man or woman
who picks pullets with a fine head
alert eyes and comb, face and wattles
of fine texture, has taken the first step
toward increased egg production.
Good pullets should stand square on
their feet, with legs wide apart, with
the front end of the body slightly
higher than the posterior end, and
with long back and tail carried
rather high. The body should be
wedge-shaped. yielding ample room
for the reproductive and digestive or
