Utilize CORNFIELD
TO PREPARE LAMBS
Light Corn Crop Makes It Neces-
sary to Get Most Possible
Out of the Field.

rRv H HACKEDORN, Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.)
The light corn crop this fall makes
II necessary to get the most possible
out of the field. The practice OF utl-
lizing the underground in the cornheld
and the lower leaves Of the cornstalKs
by pasturing the field with lambs has
become quite common one.
Fifty-three to 60-pound western feed
ing lambs are used. The lighter lambs
are used by those who wish to make
90 to To-day feed, finishing OH the
lambs in dry lot the last 30 or ~ days.
The heavier lambs are used by feeders
wanting to make 60 or Today feeu'
Good to choice lambs are commonly
fed. The number of lambs per acre
will depend upon the amount ana con
dition of the forage. Usually 3 to
lambs per acre will be sufficient.
A single-deck carload of lambs will
he about $50 or 100. Lambs can be
purchased at the Kansas City, 81
Louis. st. Joseph, and Omaha STOCK
wards through any reliable commission
house.
The following is reliable quotation
from a sheep commission company on
the Kansas City yards: LAMBS nave
been fattened very successfully Ill the
cornfield by a good many of our custo-
mers. Conditions may be a little oil
ferent on account of the dry weather.
and no doubt the lambs will require
30 days feed in the feed lot before
they are considered finished.
1--WE look for a good high market
throughout the fall, and if we are go
ing to make a guess as to the market
the first of December, we would say
from $1,000 to $11.00. There is more
reason for us to expect high prices this
year than last"
The department of animal husbandry
of the Missouri College Of Agriculture
will be at the service of any Missouri
farmer who wishes help in buying

ment of them.

will be sent to has not been divulged.
More troops may be forthcoming from
Portugal during the winter, although it
is reported the internal condition of
affairs in that country requires the
presence there of many soldiers. The
recent strike outbreaks and other Ia

been such that troops are patrOlling

Lack of Officers Hamperng.
Lack of trained and experienced Of

new British army in France, as neu-

PORTUGAL SENDS SOLDIERS

PariS.-Before winter sets in It Is
expected there will be 100000 Italian
troops fighting on the French front.
Already two cOntingents comprising
q, 900 men each have arrived in France
and soon are expected to take up their
positions in the VOsges. All of the
Italians will be sent to that region,
the mountainous country comprising
the extreme end of the fortified line in
Alsace.
The Italians will comprise regi-
ments of the Alpini, the men recruited
from the mountainous sections of Italy,
skilled in mountain warfare, and Injured
to work in the rarified air of high alti-
tudes.
Soon to Be Sent to Front.
That the first contingents soon will
be on the actual firing line on the
French front is believed here, and it
is further thought this fact had some
thing to do with Italy's declaration of
war against Germany, as Italians will
be engaged in actual conflict with the
Germans.
Besides these troops Italy will fur
nish special mountain artillery for it's
contingent, the guns being of the same
,caliber as the light French-75 MILL
meters-but capable of higher angle
fire and mounted on different type
wheels and caisSons, making them
more adaptable for hauling up grades.
Some of these guns are mounted on
skids, so that they can be dragged up
steep mountain trails. Italian Red
Cross hospital units also will accom-
pany the Alpini.
Besides the Italians there will be
still another nationality represented in
the trenches on the western front.

INFLUENCE OF AGE
ON VALUE OF HORSES
Animal Considered to Be in His
Prime Shortly After He Is
Six Years of Age.

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
Estimates obtained by the depart
ment from about $50 owners indicate
that farm work-horse is considered
to be in his prime shortly after six
years of age, and that even though
still perfectly sound, he has declined
in value about one-half from the maxi
mum when between fourteen and fif-
teen years. The estimates were made
on the basis of a maximum value of
$3.50, and covered values by yearly
steps from birth to sixteen years of
age. The accompanying table, showing
the rise and fall of value with age in
dollars and in percentage Of maximum
value, summarizes the results Of this
study.

There are so many leaks in the dairy
business that only by the use Of the
best business principles can it be made
permanently profitable. Individual
cows must each make a profit over the
cost of feed; this can be determined
only by weighing each cows milk and
the feed that she consumes. The old
argument that the best cows are
known may have some foundation, but
few men know the poorest cows, and
the latter go to make up the average
as well as the good cows. No dairy
is better. than it's average production.
If this is too low, the herd is not pay
ing a profit. Business principles must
therefore be applied to lowering the
cost of milk production. Efficiency is
as much a necessity on the farm as in
the factory. Few men feed their cows
in proportion to the quantity of milk
produced, yet what could be more SIM
pie and more nearly right? With lit
tie regard for her needs, feed is put
before the cow in plenty if 1t is cheap,
and in less quantity If the price is
high. Cows use about 60 per cent of
their feed merely to keep their bodies
working, and it is the quantity that is
fed above this fixed necessity that fur
nishes the material for the milk. Too
often the dairyman says II would do
all the up-to-date things if had the
time" Can the storekeeper afford to
run his business without keeping
books? Yet that is what the farmer
is doing.

The German sharpshooters have not
been slow to find that out, and the
British losses of officers show the price
that they still are paying for this glar-
ing and distinguishing mark.
Every French officer from a SUBJ
lieutenant up carries, swung over his
shoulders, pair of binoculars in a
black leather case. The German
snipers know this perfectly well, so
that when they ensconce themselves in
convenient shell hole, or other place
of vantage, they take no chances on
revealing their whereabouts for the
sake of bagging an ordinary poilu !;
they wait until they can draw a bead
on the Wearer of pair of field glasses
and then try to pot him.
But what is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander, as all German
officers carry field glasses too, and the
French sharpshooters lie in wait for
them in identically the same way.

per cent. Evidence taken by the com
