WHEAT PRICE DROPS
ON FEDERAL REPORT

CHICAGO. June 8.-Wheat showed
declining tendency today owing
largely to predictions that the. govern
ment crop report would be bearlsh.
Some estimates were that the yield In
dicted would total $4,000 900 bushels
more than was harvested in 1916. Dry
weather complaints from the spring
wheat states and from Canada, how
ever. counted somewhat as an offset.
Opening prices. which ranged from
The same as yesterdays finish to ! re
lower, with July at $2.2l to $2.22 and
Sept. at s194k to $1.95, were followed
by moderate further setback all

MORE RAIN COMES,
PREDICTS MOORE

Rainy weather will continue for an
Indefinite period, according to Wealth
erman Moore, and so far there are no
indications of settled summer wealth
er. Rain will be the most prominent
feature of the weather conditions for
the entire summer.
This is due, according to Mr.. Moore.
TO the low atmospheric pressure that
prevails throughout the northern hem
isphere, and is not. as some persons
believe, due to the moon.
The moon, Moore declared, "af-
fects only the tide and has nothing
whatsoever to do with the weather"

FIVE POUNDS OF MILK ON ONE
POUND OF GRAIN.
National Crop improvement Serrice.l

1Natlonal Crop improvement SerVce.]
c. H. Packard, of Delavan, Wiscon-
sin, a progressive and practical dairy
man, was not satisfied with his ration
Of homegrown feed. Although he
mixed his ration with brains and it
seemed to be theoretically correct, he
thought he would try out his own
mixture in comparison with a first
class dairy feed. Much to his surprise
he found that he could save about
five lbs. of grain per COW per day and
nearly 5 cents per COW. He figured
his own grain at prices much below
the wholesale market and bought his
mixed feed at retail
Also when his ration was figured &C
cording to Armsby or Energy method
his mixed feed proved to be the right
combination to make a balanced ration
with his own farm roughage.

FARMER FEED EXPERTS.

lNatonal Crop improvement SerYjcel
A farmer who has devoted his life
time to the study of feeding generally
has more success through his common
sense methods than any scientific
analysis can supply. If such a feeder
could have on hand all of the in
gradients (most by-products of cereal
manufacture), which according to the
market at the time would be more
economical, he could, through his ex-
perlence, be very successful in mix
ing his feeds. But the difficulty with
the average man is to maintain an
economical ration from the products
Of his own farm.
He may be an expert, if he chooses
to study out new ration every time
the market changes, but he generally
prefers to let someone who makes a
business of mixing feeds do it for him
No doubt the majority of users OF
mixed feeds begin to buy it because
OF a shortage of forage and grain
crops on the farm.
If such man will keep books he
will find that as a usual thing the
use of mixed stock feed is a mere mat
ter Of arithmetic whether he could
buy the ingredients cheaper than he
could buy them in a so-called "bal
anced" ration.

WRONG FEEDING METHODS.

National Crop improvement Seryice.l
There is an old story about ship
captain who had a medicine chest. A
sailor was sick and he found that No.
AZ in his book was the indicated rem
edy, but alas! the bottle of No. At
was empty SO he took equal parts of
No. 40, which was strychnine, and
No. Z, which was carbolic acid, and
added them together and made No. At
and the sailor died
The application of this old story is
that many a feeder will think that if
little Of cottonseed or oilseed meal
is good, whole lot will be better.
And, like the man who put the green
spectacles on the horse and fed him
shavings-just after he got him
trained the horse died.
1t is human nature to experiment
In feeds, and the poor cow has to suf-
fer for an overdose or an underdose
before the proper ration is estab-
lished

SUCCESSFUL FEEDING.

National Crop improvement Servce.l
1t is most significant and probably
the best argument for mixed feeds
when it is considered that a large
number of the most prominent and
skilled men in America have dis
carded their own mixed feeds and
rations because they have found a
satisfactory brand of feed which will
make as much milk at less cost and
no trouble and, above all, keeps COWS
in perfect health.
Many agricultural schools and ex-
pertinent stations use and have used
them for the same reason.
You can verify this by writing to
any experiment station and they will
give you the names of mixed brands
which are best adapted to your pur-
pose.

HOME MIXED FEEDS,

National Crop Improvement Seryce.l
When man undertakes to mix his
own rations, what does he do? He
buys straight feeds. Take cottonseed
meal as common example. There
are a great many different grades of
cottonseed meal, and the man who is
looking for low-priced feed is sure
to get a low grade. The demand for
cheap feeding ingredients has caused
the quality to be gradually whitfield
down. Consequently the farmer
nearly always works with feeds which
are poorer than he believes them to
be. He does not get adequate state
protection because inspectors do not
go to farmers barn to draw sam
pies, and even if they did, it would be
hard to get complete chain of evil
dence.
A farmer has no facilities for hav-
ing his feed analysed and he doesn't
know what he is working with. The
analyses of mixed feeds costs about
ten cents per ton, and if every farmer
will read the various bulletins from
the agricultural colleges he will soon
know those brands which can be de-
pended upon. There is no doubt that
at the present prices of grain any
farmer can save money by selling his
cereal crops and buying mixed feed.
Cornmeal, oil meal and cottonseed
meal are all high, but the by-products
OF barley and rye are all more reason
able in price.
Corn has become costly largely due
to the demand for pork and beef
Americans will have those meats at
almost any price. This puts corn on
a meat basis, and the dairy business
will have to fall back on the by-prod-
ucts of grains

THE BEST DAIRY FEED
Made From Grain From Which the
Human Food Values Have
Been Taken.
By Prof. F. D. Fuller.

National Crop Improvement Servicel
The reason why the best dairy
feeds are less expensive than the same
grains on the farm is because the
principal elements of human food are
taken from these grains before they
are ever made into feed. The by
products Of cereal mills, glucose fac.
tories, malt houses, ETC., constitute
often more than so per cent of the
total bulk of mixed dairy feeds of the
better class.
These oats, barley and corn by
products are considered by experts in
animal nutrition as very valuable
feed materials. After these cereals ara
ground in the manufacture of alcohol,
for which the use is growing more i'm
portant daily in the arts, the solid
residue is dried in vacuo, and is then
known as "dried grains" If made
from corn, these grains contain on an
average Of about 80 per cent crude
protein and 20 per cent crude fat. If
made from rye, while valuable, they
are Of somewhat lower feed value.
The barley residue contains over 70
per cent more crude protein than
wheat bran and twice as much crude
fat. In fact, their food value is
largely increased by the process.
All these products are widely used
by the best dairy feeders and are re-
lied upon very extensively in milk
production. There is no doubt Of the
fact that if the supply of these prod
ucts were radically limited or entirely
exhausted, it would have a serious Ell
feet upon the milk production
throughout the country and the
dairymen would have one more bur-
den added to their already overtaxed
strength
Cottonseed meal is composed prin-
cipally of the kernel, with such por-
ton Of the hull as is necessary in the
! manufacture of oil. COttonseed meal,
it choice, must contain at least 4 l per
! cent crude protein. 1t is one Of the
richest Of all feeds in this substance
and carries about s per cent crude
fat. On account Of its extreme con-
centration it can be fed only in linn
tied quantities and always in con-
junction with some products to fur
nish bulk. This meal is an important
ingredient in many manufactured
| feeds.

DIFFICULT TO MIX FEEDS
A More Scientific Result Can Be Pro
duced BY Machinery.

National Crop improvement Seryce]
AS no two lots run alike it is very
difficult to mix straight by-products
or oats, barley, rye, corn, cotton-seed,
t1aXseed, etc., by measure, because it is
purely guessing. Only few years ago
intentional fraud or unintentional
carelessness was the rule. Before the
feed laws were passed, each manu-
tacturer adulterated all the trade
would stand.
Every car of feed sold to the con-
sumner is not analysed, and the farmer
cannot become 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
with no knowledge of feed and were
running valuable cows and making the
farmer poorer. In those days the feed
tables were wrong, the feeds didn't
tit the tables; the digestible analysis
method was incorrect; feed standards
for animals 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; and there was an unavoidab able
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 uniform product By
using these scientifically prepared
feeds, 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 best painters
of today have learned that mill-made
brands are much better than any
thing they can mix with a paddle.
The same is true in fertilizers to
great extent. In mixed feeds there
can be no economy in home mixing
because the mixing factories, being
near the large markets, can utilize
by-products to the very best advan-
tage. Home mixing cannot be accom-
plished at one-tenth of a cent per h.,
besides the result is never twice alike
and cannot be without the help of a
laboratory.

THE AVERAGE REFO7MER,
National Crop Improvement Service.l

The average reformer having so
little at stake himselse, plunges about
like bull in a china shop, regard
less Of the results of his ardor.
An amusing incident is told of the
Secretary of Commerce The can
manufacturers put up a howl that
unless they could get tin-plate to
make up, no canning of fruits and
vegetables could be done, so without
looking over the field it is said that
an order was made that steel was to
be diverted by the manufacturers
from other projects and put at the
disposal of the can manufacturers.
1t looked all right on the face of it,
but when the manufacturers of har-
vesting machinery demanded steel
which they contracted for, and found
that there was not steel for aprons,
It having been diverted to cans, a
hurry-up call modifying the order
was issued, so that our harvesting
machines could be made in time for
the growing crop
This illustrates how many plans
are ignorantly made robbing Peter
to pay Paul. Every enthusiast
who has a pet reform which is
always hitting some other business
instead of his own, never looks
around to see what the effect will be
before he plunges. The manufac-
turers of feed and the most success
full feeders in the country have a
right to demand that that delicate
machine-the dairy cow-shall not
be wrecked by hasty legislation.
Revolutionary reforms are seldom
efficacious. Anything which disturbs
the food equilibrium should be
handled gradually. Experience has
shown that the most efficient way to
handle cereal products is to remove
the human food first and feed the
