The efficient use of these and other

A greater knowledge of what these
products are and of the ways in which
they can be fed will result In the
elimination Of enormous waste.

CULTlVATING PEAS IN CORN
remove Front and Rear Tooth From
14-lnch Tooth Harrow and Strad-
die Row With implement.

A good way to plant peas In corn
Is TO wait until about two or three
weeks before laying by. After cult
waiting the corn, plant row of peas
In the center of the middle. When
the peas come up take a 14-tooth har-
row and remove the front and rear
middle tooth, and possibly raise the
outside teeth next the corn so the
roots will not be injured. Spread the
harrow out so the middle will be
pretty well filled and straddle the pea
row with the implement. One or two
civilizations of the peas will be a great
help to them.

Experience has convinced many that
it pays In the ordinary farm flock to
keep hens for three years before turn
Ing them OF.
The greatest egg yield can be ex-
pected during the pullet year, and
many poultrymen advocate keeping
them only for that length of time.
They pay about as good returns for
the work and expense given them dur
Ing the succeeding two years In the
average farm flock.

Is only a very profitable side line with

reduces the work of chicken raising
without materially reducing the in

Most hens generally consider their

Rations for Winterino Breeding Cows.

In this connection it is pointed out
also that feeding straw in the winter
will insure under certain circum-
stances the full utilization of sum-
mer grass. In number of western
states it frequently happens that grass
goes to waste because feeders are I'M
willing to pay the high prices asked
for steers in the spring. With an
abundance of straw on hand to lessen
the cost of wintering, feeders can take
advantage of the lower prices for
stocker cattle in The fall to secure
on reasonable terms at that time
enough stock to pasture all the grass
the following year.
The production of corn slower Is
about twice that of grain straw,
amounting to approximately 245,0OO,-
900 tons a year. A larger percentage
(S1.5) of this is fed than of the straw
but the waste Is nevertheless aston
ishing. For this, poor methods of
feeding are largely responsible. BY
far the most economical method of
handling corn is by ensiling, but as n
matter of fact only 81 per cent of the
acreage was put in the silo in 1914.
the year In which these Investigations
were made. About IL per cent was
cut for greenfield and 81 per cent
allowed to mature for grain. 1t is in
the last portion of the acreage that
the greatest waste occurs. Stripping
the leaves from the stalks which are
subsequently burned, removing the
stalk above the top ear only leaving
the stalks TO stand in the field until
the loss of leaves and teaching have
removed much of their fertilizing
value, are all unthrifty methods.
Furthermore, almost per cent of the
slower is burned. Is though, instead of
being a potential source of revenue,

TREATMENT FOR BROODY HEN
PRACTICAL and Humane Way Is to Iso.
late Her In Open, Airy Coop
In Sight of Others,

The sensible way to treat a broody
hen is to treat her as laying hen.
She has temporarily stopped laying,
and with proper treatment can soon
be brought to laying again. The prac-
ucal and humane way is to confine
her IN an open, airy coop in sight of
the outside hens, and provide roost
for her at night. While confined. give
the same, or better, care in the way
OF food, drink and comfort as the hens
outside receive.
Confining a broody hen for a day or
longer in tub of water where she
must stand up continuously, or hang
ing her up in sack for three DAYS
without food or water are methods
that are neither humane nor econom-
ical.

F'rom the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
A vast quantity of feed available
for cattle is now either wasted abso-
lutely or put to some less profitable
use, says a recent report which the
department has just published as Part
Nv of comprehensive survey of the
entire meat situation In the United
States. Failure to utilize the full
value of this material has increasd
unnecessarily the cost of producing
meat, has diminished the profits from
cattle feeding, and has discouraged
many farmers from engaging in an in
dustry essential to their permanent
prosperity.
According to the report already
mentioned, the loss in grain, straw,
and corn slower amounts to more than
$1OO,0OO,OOO annually. Both of these
products are disposed of most econom-
ically when fed to cattle In connection
with some form of concentrated feed.
Straw is especially valuable in carry
ing the breeding herd through the
supplementary roughage for fatten-
Ing cattle. Slower, too, is an excel
lent feed for wintering cattle, especial
ly mature breeding cows. Neverthe-
less, In many sections of the country
where these products are abundant,
little attempt is made to take advan-
tage Of their value for these purposes.
Or an annual straw crop of approx
mately 120,000,O00 tons, it is estimated
that only two-thirds is put to it's best
use-'live-stock production. OF the
remainder, little more than one
half is sold or turned under and the
rest 10 per cent of the total crop,
Is burned. Burning is practically an
absolute waste, and although blowing
under does contribute something to
soil fertility, the benefit to the land
Is less than that which would be
derived fom the use of the straw to
produce manure. "Of all systems of
obtaining permanent soil fertility"
says the report, none is so practical
Or as easily available as that of feed
Ing live stock"
The average value of all kinds of
straw is placed at about So ton.
In many sections, of course, no such
price can be realized for it, and as
matter of fact only about per cent
Of the crop actually is sold. The fig
nre mentioned, however, may be TAX
EN- as representing the value to the
farmer of straw If he will use 1t prop
erly In his farming operations as feed
Or bedding. In order to illustrate how
this may be done the report gives
three sample rations for wintering a
breeding herd of beef cattle on straw
combined with silage, shock corn, and
cottonseed or linseed meal. Anyone
Of these rations, 1t is said, will prove
economical. They are as follows:

10 Green Stuff.

The laying of soft-shelled eggs NAV

material In the food they gAt; for ex-
ample, the lack of lime. This can be
aided in measure by the feeding
OF oyster shells, that is, the ground
prepared shells. These contain so
much lime that they help out in n
great measure. Another help is the
Feeding of little slaked lime in the
soft feed, say tablespoonful of lime
TO Ii to 20 hens. This lime will aid
IN the production of eggs very mate
rally If fed regularly for some weeks.
Another cause of soft-shelled eggs be-
Ing produced by good healthy flock
IL the lack Of green stuff. This fur
nishes the shell-forming material in
the best possible form and should not
be neglected. This is one reason
why hens so often lay them in thu win
