WRONG FEEDING METHODS.

There is IN old story about a ship
captain who had a medicine chest. a
sailor wa sick and he found that No.

was empty, SO he took equal parts OF
NO. 40, which was s%trychnine, and
No. z, which was carbolic acid, and
added them together and made No. AZ
and the sailor died.
III application OF this old story is
that many a feeder will think that If
= little of cottonseed or oilseed meal
is good, a whole lot will be better.

ii FOURTH YEAR

Three years have been counted
lsince the war broke forth with all its
lhorrOrs upon the world. Three years
|of intense suffering, OF wonderful
sacrifice and unbelievable endurance
ands The end is still invisible. The
time allotted by Kitchener in which
tha allies would gain victory has
passed but the Britisher still clings
to the hope, as he did in the early
days OF the struggle, that the end is
near. No mi now, however, dares
to offer prophecy, for the events of
the last three years have SO outrun
his Imagination that to speculate on
future developments is foolish.
While events in the last three years
will have f~ar-reaching effect on the
future of the world in general, the
fourth year promises to develop stu
atoms and bring conclusions that
will vitality affect the peoples of ev-
cry nation, combatant and non.com-
blatant alike. The character of the
struggle has been changed greatly
since the opening Of hostilities. While
leaders are unwilling to discuss the
probable length of the struggle, time
has tended to clarity the issues and
to indicate the final outcome. The
entrance of the United States has
brought a new element into the
whole affair and has strengthened
the hands of those fighting for the
principles upon which this great de-
mocracy was founded. Americas
entrance, too, makes 1t even more
certain that it is not q question of
who will win the war, but how.long
it will take democracy to secure that
freedom for which it fought and won,
against the %autocracy of the Hohen-
~zollern.
A brief review of the war in the
past gives the impression that Ger
many and he9 allies are still strong.
Undoubtedly this is true. For this
reason the fourth year of the war will
develop into one of the most decisive.
Americas strength on the field of
battle is expected to be felt this year;
the strength of American money in
nations fighting the central powers is
also expected to have it's effect, while
the wonderful resources of this ma
ton in food, munitions and other
things vital to countries now our al
lies to continue the struggle will no
doubt go far in deciding the date of
the final conclusion. Americas part
ls a big one, and success will come
only after the nation realizes that
great sacrifices are absolutely neces-
sary.

Nitrogen is the most important and
most valuable fertilizing element sup
piled by feeds, and it is in this ele-
ment that they show the greatest
variation.
The Connecticut Experiment Sta
ton states that it was found that the
average mixed fertilizer contained
2.95 per cent nitrogen and showed in
a table that eighteen OF ffty-two diff
ferent feeds contained 1893 per cent.
Among this list is cottonseed and lin
seed meals, gluten seed, middlings,
brewers and distillers' products, and
a few of the feed mixtures. 1t is OBJ
vious, therefore, that a wise selection
of feeds enhances the value of the

AS no TWO lots u alike, it is very
oliicu TO mix straight b~y-products
OF oats, barley, rye, corn, %cotton-seed.
naxseed, ETC., by measure, because it is
purely guessing. Only a few years ago
Intentional fraud or u~nintentional
carelessness was the rule. Before the
leed laws were passed, each manu-
iacturer a%dulterated all the trade
would stand.
Every car of feed sold to the con
sumner is not analysed, and the farmer
cannon become a feed expert because
he has no laboratory. Not one car
out OF five hundred is officially in.
spected. In the old days country
mlllers were throwing feeds together
win no knowledge of feed and were
running valuable COWS and making the
farmer poorer. In those days the feed
tables We're wrong, the feeds didn't
mt the tables; the digestible ANALYSIS
nlethod was incorrect; feed standards
Tor lma were not agreed upon nor
complete; the animals didn't fit the
standards; the buyer didn't know
what was in the feeds he bought TO
mix; n there was an unavoidable
variation in the concentration of The
feed.
These conditions have been largely
overcome through the joint action of
the government and state experiment
stations and the mixed feed manu-
facturers who have every facility for
maintaining a uniform product. Nv
using these scientifically prepared
reeds, many a herd has doubled it's
yield and profits. There are some,
painters who can buy lead, oil and
dryer and mix and match their own
color uniformly but the pest painters
OF today have learned that mill-made
brand are much better than any
thlng they can mix with a paddle.
The same is true in fertilizers to a
great extent. In mixed feeds there
can be no economy in home mixing
because the mixing factories, being
near h large ,.4arkets, can utilize
%by-products to che very best adyan-
tage. Home mixing cannot be accom-
plished at one-tenth of a cent per h..
besides the result is never twice alike
n cannot be without the help of a
laboratory.
A bigh-grade mixed feed suitable
for any kind or breed of dairy COW
should have high protein content,
with an exact digestible analysis. 1t
can be mixed with corn, oats, barley,
hay or other forage, which should be
grown upon the farm, provided the
mixture would save the farmer any
money. AS a rule, the ingredients of
the highest grades are corn, distillers'
grains, gluten feed, cottonseed meal.
hominy meal, malt sprouts, brewers
grains, linseed meal, pure wheat bran
and salt. The best grades contain no
cheap filters of any kind and so the
food Is highly concentrated and
reughage can be supplied at homo.
