RUTTERMlLk SAVES TANKAeE.
More Milk Fed to Hogs, Less Will Be
Tankaoe Bill

When an abundance OF milk is al
lowed pigs getting settled corn and
tankage in separate feeders, the far
mers tankage bill is cut down. This
comes as an answer to the many far
mers who are asking the question, III I
selt-feed corn and tankage in separate
feeders and allow milk, will the pigs
eat less tankage where much milk is
given?"
Yes this is exactly what happens,
says the animal husbandry department
at Iowa State College. For instance,
at the college a group that was self
fed on corn and tankage has recently
been eating about pound Of tankagc
per head a day. These were young
growing pigs in dry lot. Where they
received two pounds Of milk per head
day in addition to this ration, they con-
sumed seven-tenths Of pound q
tankage, thus saving three-tonths OF a
pound. Where ten pounds OF milk per
head a day was used however, the pigs
ate but two-tenths Of a pound Of tank
age, making a saving Of almost four
fifths OF a pound Of tankage.
1t is a good pian therefore, in self
feeding corn and tankage, where milk
is available, TO allow what milk is on
hand and let the pigs balance their
ration with corn and tankage.
This again illustrates that the pig
has some intuition in regard to bal
ancing mis- own ration.

GIRLS USE PLANE AND SAW.
Twelve in Glass in Manual Arts Doin
Nearly a. We'll n Men Do.

Iowa City. Oct. 20-Twelve young
women at the University of Iowa, most
of them seniors, are taking manual
training this year. The director of the
work says that their dexterity with
saws and planes Is really not much in
ferior to that OF the average man. At
present they are learning how to make
simple joints but later in the year they
may construct tables, mission chairs,
cedar chests, and various other pieces
of furniture.
Every girl has her own work, bench
and tools. She will learn in this
course to sharpen and care for tools. as
we'll as how to use them.
When asked what led her to take
up so unusual subject for women as
manual training, Miss Norma Haller,
Of Baskerville, declared that it had al
ways appealed to her. She said that in
her high school days she determined to
take the course il opportunity ever
arose. a. ..,. r..s..-
Then too" she added. there is a
great demand for teachers who can
give a short course in wood work along
with other high school subjects. Many
smaller, high schools are unable to
have a special teacher for manual arts

instruction in il. ! should Ike to teach
it."
THE only difficulty 1 have found so
far" Miss Ruth Gray. of Eldora, re-
marked when questioned about her
success with the tools, is In directing
the course of the saw. 1t seems to
have inclInations OF It's own, irrespec-
tive OF my Intentions. But think that
I can overcome these In time. You
can't imagine what a satisfaction there

Iowa city, Oct. 20.-Thru the con-
struction of an automobile testing plant
the University Of Iowa is preparing to
make the service of its expert mechan-
ical engineers available to Iowa citizens
in directly practical way.
The testing machinery last year was
housed in the regular shops but 1t was
not easily accessible there. Now 1t
will be placed in a brick building to be
used solely for testing automobiles.
When the plant Is complete 1t viii
be possible for any automobile owner
in the state to drive his car into the
testing room and learn the actual
horsepower that his machine will de-
velop and the way 1t can be made, to
develop the most power with the least
fuel. a
The car will be tested as to It's
power under actual conditions Of driv-
ing. Even the wind pressure Is to be
applied to the fore part by means of a
blower.
Tests of the power OF the engine
both on the chassis and off will be
made when desired. and the owner will
be informed whether too much power
is being lost In it's delivery from en-
CINE to road surface. Suggestions on
the care of engine and tires. improve

It is likely too, that exhaustive tire
tests will be carried on by the univer-
sity to determine the quality of the
various makes and the degree Of in
fation that will give the best wear.

ALFALFA CAME TO SCOTT COUNTY
County Agent Makes 800 Fields Grow
When But Two Grew Before.

When county agent work began in
Scott county four years ago, there
were two fields Of alfalfa in the coun-
ty. A census of 1915 shows 800 fields
in the county, or total of 400 acres,
making yield of five and one-fourth
tons per acre.
Near Burlington successful dem
onstration Is being conducted on the
farm Of Alex Moir. Mr.. Moir has 200
acres of alfalfa growing successfully
on blow sand and some of it is now
8 years old. The yield last year was
a little more than four tons per acre.
His success was due simply to the APP
plication Of eight tons Of limestone.
twenty-five tons Of manure per acre,
good seed and incubation.

COOLING MILK IMPORTANT.
Dairy Farmer Should Store an Album
dant Supply Of Ice.

Dairy farmers in localities where
natural ice is available should make
preparations this fall TO store an
abundant supply Of ice for use next
Summer. The ice should be cleaned
cut and the ice house put in repair be-
fore storing commences.
To get milk in good condition TO
market. the dairy experts of the de-
pdrtment estimate that the farmer
should store one-half ton of ice per
COW if cream is to be produced and
two tons per COW if whole milk is to
be shipped. This quantity. If properly
stored, should provide the ice neces-
sary for dairy and household for a
year, making due allowance for melt
ing. Farmers Bulletin 623. Ice Houses
and the Use of Ice on the Dairy Farm,
contains valuable and timely informa-
ton on this subject.
Only thru the use of ice can dairy
men hope in warm weather TO get their
milk to market with a. satisfactorily
low bacterial Z. count Cooling, with
spring or we'll water is better than no
cooling. but such water is not cold
enough TO chill the milk TO the point
where bacteria cease to multiply rapid
~. These bacteria, which gain access
to the milk during its production and
handling multiply surprisingly as long
as the milk is warm This causes the
milk, to sour, OF. TO take on undesirable
eavors and some Of them may spread
disease. Icing milk on the farm. there
fore, is highly important even in mod
erately cool weather. Inasmuch. as
much market milk Is many hours old
before it is consumed. It also is i'm
portant TO keep it as cool as possible

the distributing point and the dis
tr;butor must see that it is kept

Methods Of Chilling Milk. 49,
Never put ice directly into milk.
The ice may contamtnate the milk and
add water as II melts.
II is not economical to place warm
milk directly in a tank of ice water.
The milk should first be cooled over a
cooler thru which passes cold running
water from the we'll or spring After
some Of the heat is removed the milk
cans should be placed in a tank con-
ta ming ice and water. which should
come well up 10 the neck Of the cans.
Frequently stirring Of the milk with
Il clean stirrer hastens the cooling
process. -E
Many tanks waste ice because they
are too large for the number of cans
chilled. A small tank for cooling one
can at time may be made from a
barrel sawed to the proper height.
Insulating Jackets should be placed
around the cans Of chilled milk when
ever milk is to undergo a long haul to
the station or be long time in transit.
These Jackets will help materially in
keeping 1t cold until it reaches it's
de stination.
