this grain mixture will increase pro-
duction.
If the roughage consists entirely Of
native hay, straw, cornfodder or corn
silage, he can still use his homegrown
grains, but it viii be necessary to use
bran, cottonseed meal, or linseed meal
also TO supply sufficient protein A
good grain mixture in this case would
consist OF equal parts ground barley,
ground oats and oil cake or oilmeaL
II the Foughage ration is Of a mixed
nature, such as 10 pounds OF alfalfa
hay and 80 to 80 pounds corn silage,
the dairyman might use a mixture OF
two parts corn chop, two parts bran or
oats and one part cottonseed cake.
These grain mixtures should be fed at
the rate Of one pound Of grain for ey-
cry three ana one-half or four pounds
OF milk each cow is producing.

centrated feeds are the chief sources
OF protein, and the mixture should be
made to fit the class In which the
roughage belongs.
A few simple rules for making I'D q
grain mixture are given briefly below t:
/ Make up the mixture to lit the
roughage available. With roughage
entirely Of a low-protein class the
grain should contain approximately
from Is to . per cent OF protein,
while with exclusively high protein
roughage the grain ration need con-
tain only 13 to Is per cent
2. Select grains that viii furnish
the various constituents, especially
protein, at the least cost, using home
grown grains If possible
3. Be sure that the mixture is light
and bulky.
4 The mixture should be pal
atable.
8. See that the grain has the
proper physiological effect upon the
COW.
All these suggestions should be
kept in mind in order to obtain the
best possible combination of grains.

TO ORGANIZE HONE GUARDS
Units VIII Be Recruited in Each Town
to Care for Families Of Alb
sent Soldiers.

Home guards are to be organized in
each important town in Kansas to pro-
tect property and to look after de-
pendent families of soldiers during the
war. The plan of organization has
been agreed upon Each locality will
be expected to furnish the, men for
the home guard and also the finances.
All home guard organizations are to
file list of their officers and men
with the adjutant general
The bylaws provide that the local
organizations shall be known as 1.-THE
Home Guard Of -- County, Kan"
The object shall be to promote, de-
Velop and foster loyalty and patriot
ism for flag and country; to furnish
elementary military training AMI
knowledge to its members for the pur-
pose of enabling them to render SER
vice in defense of the country if called
upon to do so, and to aid and assist
in the relief of the families of those
engaged in the federal military sep
vice and to raise and distribute funds
for this purpose.
Every loyal male person of 16 years
of age and over, residing in the coun-
ty, shall be eligible to membership
upon making application, signing the
roll and paying 25 cents. Membership
in the home guards does not exempt
man from real military service.
The officers of the organization
shall consist of a president, vice presi-
dent, surgeon, recorder and treasurer,
and shall be elected by the members
of the organization and serve for one
year. The officers shall constitute an
executive committee and have charge
Of all affairs of the organization.
The executive committee will be
empowered to appoint officers to Or
ganize and drill the home guards, and
such officers shall consist of a mar
shall in command, assisted by two or
more submarshals.
When it is deemed necessary for the
local defense of persons and property,
the organization shall be subject to
the call of the governor or local po-
lice officers.
The adjutant general is now prepar-
ing blanks for the guard and they will
be supplied to the various localities
upon application.

BALANCING RATIONS
FOR A DAIRY HERD
Economy Demands HOMEGROWN
Feeds, Especially Roughage,
Be Fed to Cattle.

Ry CHARLES L BRAY, Colorado Agri-
cultural College. Fort Collins, Colo-)
Economy In feeding usually demands
that as much OF the ration as possible
be made up OF homegrown feedstuffs,
especially with regard to the roughage.
First, provide for all the good, clean
farm-grown roughage that the COW
viii eat up clean, as the nutrients In
rOughages are generally much cheaper
than In concentrated feeds.
Now consider whether the grain on
hand is such as to make a balanced
ration with the roughage used. Con-
centrates must be used, because cows
cannot consume enough coarse, bulky
feed to supply all their own bodily re-
quirements, and have enough left for
large flow of milk. II the dairyman
has plenty of alfalfa hay he can prac-
dcal1y balance his rations nicely with
ordinary farm grains, such as corn,
barley and oats. Five per cent OF cot

one time. A local market which will
take any number of squads is a great
aid to the small producer Where one
has small flock it usually pays best
to build it up until it is large enough
to make gOOd-sized shipments Of
squads. This, however, requires a con-
slant outlay without any return, for
some time.
The production of squads from each
pair of breeders varies from one or
two to as high as ten or eleven pairs a
year, but an average of from six to
seven pairs is fair estimate, although
some squad breeders do better than
this. Squads usually sell at the high
est prices during cold weather, as
pigeons do not breed as freely during
the winter as during the Spring.

CARE OF HORSES SHOULDERS
Some Timely Suggestions Given by
Ohio College Of AsrieuIture-Be
Careful OF Collars.

The Ohio College OF Agriculture
gives some timely suggestions for the
care and protection OF horses shout
ders:
Do not use sweat pads.
Keep collars clean OF dandruf and
dirt. especially If soreness develops.
Sponge the shoulders OF work horses
with cold water at night after work
If they are sweaty at noon, sponge
at noon. also.
Care should be taken in fitting col
lars on work horses. Many collars are
too big or too loose. If the wfthers
are fat or especially full, the fitting OF
collars viii need extra care.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Seven reasons why the keeping of
live stock is essential to sound agrf-
culture are set forth In an article by
George n. RommeI in the 1916 wear
book Of the q. S. department of az
riculture. Briefly, Mr.. Rommel's sew
en- reasons are the maintenance of soil
fertility, the utilization OF raw mate
rial, the need OF motive power on the
farm, cash income, the added attrac-
dveneSs of farm on which there is
live stock, the training in business
sense obtained by keeping animals,
and better and more economical Iiv-
ing for the farm family.
To maintain soil fertility, says Mr..
Rommel, humus is necessary. This
can be obtained from two sources
green crops plowed under, or barnyard
manure. When green crops are plowed
under, however, there is no direct rev.
enue from them. By feeding these
crops to live stock, valuable products
that can be exchanged for cash are
obtained. At the same time the ma
nure produced by the animals retains
a very large percentage of the fertiI-
izing value of the feed. For this rea-
son it is more economical to feed than
to pillow under without feeding, and the
most practical source of humus is sta
bic manure.
Farmer a Manufacturer.
The farmer with live stock is from
one point Of view manufacturer. He
takes lean, unfinished animals and
grain or forage as his raw materials
and by combining them produces beef,
mutton, pork, and dairy products. Like
all manufacturing, this process must
be conducted with skill and intelIi-
gence if it is to pay, but if the farmer
possesses these qualities he derives a
larger profit than he could obtain
through the sale Of crops and animals
In the raw state. Furthermore there
are many products on the farm which
bring little or nothing on the market.
They can, however, by skiIlful manage
ment be made to assist in the produc-
ton OF meat. The thrifty farmer
makes use in this way Of ali roughage
on his farm that would otherwise be
unstable. The cornsta1ks go into the
silo or into the shack as cut fodder.
The straw and coarse hay are util-
lied to the last unit of energy value.
Land that cannot produce marketable
crops is made to yield certain amount
of sustenance for hogs and sheep.
While in cities and factories me-
chanicaI power is coming into more
and more general use, on the farms
of the country the horse and the mule

TREAT CHOLERA IN TURKEYS
All Fowls Which Show Symptoms Of
Disease Should BE Separated
Give SuIpho-NaphthoI.

The word is used to cover a number
OF intestinal disorders, but cholera is
a contagious germ disease and is prac-
hcaily incurable. Place all birds which
show any symptoms of the disease in
a house remote from other poultry
buildings and one which can be easily
and thoroughly disinfected- Give the
birds a few drops of creolin or sulpho-
naphthol In their drinking water, just
enough TO turn it family milky. Give
the birds a one-thousandth of a grain
tablet Of corrosive sublimate every
three hours. Feed sparingly on soft
easily digested food. All badly affect
ed birds should be killed by a blow on
the head without drawing blood, and
then burned.
Rake up and burn all litter used in
the house and runs occupied by infect
ed birds. Spray the runs and ali parts
OF the building with creoIin or sulpho
naphthol solution. one tablespoonful To
two gallons OF water. The runs should
also be plowed freQreatiY.

SMALL EGGS LACK VITALITY
Reject All Those Weighing Less Than
Two Ounces for Hatchinq-
Also Those MisshaPen.

There is good reason to believe that
small eggs and lack of vitality go to-
gether. Reject for setting purposes
all eggs that weigh less than two
ounces each, for small eggs produce
small chicks.
A breeder has no business to send
out small, misshapen eggs and if such
are received the buyer has good cause
TO expect poor results.

PROSPECTS SEEN
BY PHIL DANKY

Tourist traffic TO Hawaii this sum
mer has every indication Of picking
up, according TO Phil Danky, assistant
secretary OF the Hawaiian Promotion
Committee, who returned this morn
ing on the Maui from a months trip
to the mainland
Danky was called TO San Francisco
on account OF the death of his father,
whose remains he accompanied to r.
llnois Ir the east Danky spread tie
fame of Hawaii and was agreeably
surprised TO find that considerable
had preceded him
Danky also spent several days in
Denver and Salt Lake, but it was in
California and Los Angeles especially
that he found indications of more
business for Honolulu in the way OF
visitors.
He found that Hawaii is especially
favored in the state exhibits at Los
or state allowed to exhibit outside OF
California. Danky found that men
and women Of means and serious in.
tent were inspecting the Hawaii Pro,
motion Committee exhibits closely and
particularly the relief maps of the
islands with an eye to travel in this
direction.
Talking with one of the Cook
tours people in Los Angeles Danky
learned that IL tours had recently
been arranged to include Honolulu.
About half of these were to the
islands and the other half here and
on to the Orient.
