Staggering Russ Losses
Really staggering are the losses of
Russia. From semi-official reports 1t
appears from August |, 1914, to
February /, 1916, 100000 Russian
soldiers were killed in action, lS7,1
600 died from wounds, $4,000 from
diseases, 100000 were wounded,
$4,000 became sick and 1000, 900
were captured or reported missing,
making total of 7,071,000. Since
February Russia has lost at least
100000 men and the total to July
81 must have been 100000.
ligerents since the beginning of the
The combined causalties of the bel
war number more than 22,O00,O0O.
About 100000 men have been kill
ed and 100000 died from wounds
and diseases, 100000 are totally
disabled and 100000 have been
captured, or are missing. This means
that the fighting strength of the diff
ferent nations decreased 100000
men, but about one half Of the SOL
diers killed, captured or disabled
has been replaced by young men,
who reached military age since the
beginning of the war.

SOWS' BEDDING OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE
No Reason for Deep Layer in
narrowing Pen During Mild
Weather of Autumn.

There is no reason for a deep layer
of bedding over the floor of a farrow-
ing pen this time of year. Large sows
especially are more liable to lie on
their pigs if the bedding Is thick. A
lighter and more active sow a wade
around better without walking on the
little ones, but ever in her case there
is more risk of losing pigs whm much
bedding is used than there is when lit
tie is used.
Of course a fresh supply of clean,
dry bedding just before narrowing time
is important In furnishing clean and
wholesome surroundings for the pigs
when they are very young-starts them
off in good health-but the quantity
need not be greet. Cleanliness is the
important thing. This is no time in a
pigs life to make him rough it.
The guard rail around all sides OF
the pen is another matter we cannot
afford to forget. A convenient guard
rail is one fastened to the wall with
hinges so it will swing up out Of the
way when not needed. When in use 1t
is supported at right angles with the
wall by short legs resting on the floor.
The old kind built to stay is depend
able and saves the pigs.

Metal Tent Supports.

Those fond of camping out will be
glad to hear of a new contrivance con-
sisting of a combined tent frame and
cot, which dispenSes with cumbersome
poles and simplities the question of
how to move ones sleeping accommO-
dalton from place to place. The new
tent supports are of light angle iron,
and the longer pieces as well as those
forming T. cots which 60 with each
tent are pnted so that they may be
folded up when necessary. The frames
OF the cots are suspended from the up
rights by two coil springs, used for
the same purpose as springs in the or
binary hOuSe-bed. During the day the
cots a be folded up against the tent
frame and well out of the road, by
releasing n of the springs at each
end.

Other factors, though Of less I'M
portance. that should tend to increase
the future production of live stock arr
greater economy in the use OF forage
both on the range and on the farm, the
use of more and higher grade DuliS
and better management of the breed
ing animals through the year. n
last two, 1t Is said, offer the posi-
bility of increasing the calf crop 8 or
10 per cent and the average weight or
a t~wo-year-old steer perhaps ~
pounds.
Where winter feeding Is practiced 1t
Is believed that a yearling steer Will
cost approximately $50 and a long
t~wo-year-old $40. In the range sec
tons of the Southwest, on the other
hand, the costs may be estimated at
from SIS to $40 for Il yearling ana
from $50 to $25 for u twO-year-old.
With sheep there is q similar varla-
ton. In California the cost of pro-
ducing a lamb Is placed at $1.55, IN
the Southwest at Sill and in the
Northwest at $1.S2. In considering
these figures it must be remembered
that they all may be materially al
tered by increasing or diminishing the
percentages of births In the herds
and Hopke Rpttpr Methods il Is
pointed out, will almost certainly in
crease the calf and lamb crops and
in this way reduce the cost of pro-
ductiOn per head.
In estimating these costs the inveS'
tigators charged against the stock tht
market value in the vicinity of all the
feed consumed. In this way the ne
cessity of considering the money in
vested in land and equipment was
eliminated but, on the other hand, al
lowing the stock owner a profit or
the feed increases somewhat the esti
mated cost of producing animals. As
the owner might not get his profit on
the feed if he did not raise stock to
utilize it, the actual profits In stock
raising are probably somewhat greater
than the difference between the mar.
ket price of the animals and the re-
ports estimates of the cost Of prOduc.

GIVING MEDICINES TO SWINE
BY Using Old Shoe With Hole Cut In
Toe, There Is Little Danger
OF Strangulation.

If it should be necessary to admin
lister medicines to a hog, simply cut
a small opening in the toe of an old
shoe, have an attendant hold hog in
as natural a position as possible, in
sert toe of shoe in mouth, pour drench
in shoe carefully, and the hog will do
the rest (of course powders should be
liquefed with water). By this method
there is practically no danger of
strangulation, no danger of breaking
drenching horn or bottle or any other
vessel that may be used, the hog in
trying to eject shoe from mouth will
simply swallow.

tfrepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The output of beef and mutton In
the range country of the West should
Slowly increase from 0 on. in the
opinion of specialists of the United
States department of agriculture, who
nave conducted an exhaustive study of
the meat situation in the United
States. The chief reason for a de-
cine IN recent years, the specialists
say, is the settlement of public lands
and q consequent reduction in range.
While other causes have contributed
to lessened meat production in the
West, they have been more than offset
by rising prices and the greater prof
Its in cattle raising, as we'll as by a
general agricultural development
which has made for winter feeding
and pasturing on cultivated crops.
The prediction that this decrease
hereafter will give way to an increase
is based upon the belief that the
amount of live stock on farms and
homesteadS will be greater in the fu-
ture, that the stock ranges in the ma
tional forests will continue to i'm
prove, that the carrying capacity of
the stock ranges on the public domain
may be increased by legal regulation,
and finally that high prices of range
animals and better methods will re-
suit in a more efficient utilization of
the available forage, or, in other
words. a greater production per unit
of forage.
In 1914 it was estimated that no
more than 80 per cent of the new set
tiers had more live stock than was
necessary to supply them with milk
and mich animals. The situation IL
this respect, however, was changing
even then, and the movement for the
production of more live stock may be
expected to continue because both

RUSTEO STRAW FOR FEEDING
Value demonstrated by Experiments
mace by Canadian and Other
experiment Stations.

There mas evidently not been much
investigation on the effect of rust on
straw as to its feeding value. Most Of
the analyses made show hat rus, in
creases the feeding value of the straw,
The dominion experiment station in
Canada and the experiment stations in
North l'akota and Minnesota, have
found that the ruSted straw has a
larger feeding value than rust-frce
straw. The analysis made AT the
North Dakota experiment station one
year, however, showed that the straw
had q decreased feeding value. The
reason for an increase feeding value
is explained by the fact that the plant
first produces the nouriShment in the
stem and leaves and la"r passes it up
into the head to fill out the kernels.
The rust interferes with this food
passing up into the head. 1t has q
little the same effect as cutting the
grain for hay.
The value of the rusted straw de-
ponds on a good many factors, among
which are the time at which rust
strikes the crop, how the straw Is
cured, and whether it has any shriv-
eled grain in it. Cases have been re-
ported in which animals have been
harmed by being fed rusted straw.
One way to determine if it is harm.
full is to feed 1t to a few of the less
valuable animals for a week or two
and observe the effect that it has on
them. Some other roughage should be
fed with the rusted straw and do not
make a sudden change from other
feed to rusted straw. Shaking the
straw to remove the dust as far as pos
sible is also advisable. Observe the
animals that are being fed rusted
straw to see what effect it has on them.

make this Indispensable to really sue
cessful farming. The change will be
gradual. it is said, and only a few
head of stock will be added to a
farm, but ultimately and in the aggre-
gate the increase will be greater than
that which is likely to be accomplished
in n other way. The problem for
the states and the national govern
ment, it is said, is to aid in the change
by working out a system which Will
make such agriculture profitable.
In addition to this Increase in the
numbers of farm stock, there Is little
doubt that the carrying capacity or
the existing ranges "a be greatly en-
larged. This has been demonstrated
in the national forests, where I'M
proved methods and regulation nave
increased the capacity of many ranges
from IS to 80 per cent. This process
should continue for at least ten years
more and should result in building
IN the carrying capacity of the nation
al forests as q whole by perhaps 10
per cent.
If similar control could be exercised
over the public domain outside OF the
forests, it Is estimated that the capac-
ity of these ranges could be increased
about 80 per cent. About half Of TINS
would result from the Improvement IN
the range itself after ov~erstocking
and premature grazing were prevented
and natural reseeding facilitated. The
remainder would follow water devel-
opment, the construction of fences and
the introduction of methods of hand
ling stock which are out Of the ques-
ton as long as the Improvement OF

vides an incentive for new men 10

The carrying capacity of these ranges

and under the present system there is
no reason for supposing that it Will

PLANS TO PRESERVE MANURE
Put 1t Together In Water-Tight Pit
Outside Stable-Of Importance
to Save Liquid.

For horses and dairy cows, perhaps
the best method of preserving the ma
nure is to put it together into a water
tight pit outside the stable, into which
the urine can be drained If sufficient
bedding is not used to absorb it. 1t
is important that the urine and the
dung be kept together, as neither by
itself Is a well-balanced manure.
If cattle are to be kept in stables
or covered sheds, the best method for
preserving the manure is to make the
floors water tight with sliding man
gers, and use plenty of bedding. The
manure will be kept packed by the
continual tramping Of the animals, so
that no loss through heating and fer
mentation occurs, and the urine will be
entirely absorbed.

a bushel, wheat may be protitably SUBJ
stituted for corn if the wheat is worth
so cents or less. Likewise if corn Is
worth 80 cents per bushel, wheat is
worth $1.O3,a bushel as hog feed.
1t has been further shown that pork
may be produced more cheaply by
adding a small amount of tankage to
q mixture Of corr and wheat than by
feeding these feeds without such a
supplement.
For example, the cost of producing
100 pounds of pork with cora and tank
age Gas 60 cents less than when corn
alone was used. This would mean an
additional profit to the producer of
500 or more ON each carload of hogs
fed.
