PROFITABLE TO FEED LAMBS
~ Farmer Can Foresee Fifty-cent Mar
gin They Will Give Results,
Says Nebraska Expert.

Many letters are being received at
the Nebraska experiment station ask
ing whether or not 1t is profitable TO
feed lambs at the present high price
of feeders.
II one can get a margin of 90 cents
on the selling price over the buying
price. 1t may be a profitable transac-
ton, is the answer Of the animal hus-
bandry section Of the experiment sta
ton. Two years ago, when corn was
GO cents and alfalfa hay So, gains on
lambs cost Sass per hundred. Last
year with feed at the same price, lambs
fed heavily on corn made gains at
$3.50 per hundred, and those receiving
medium feed of corn made gains
costing $500 per hundred. AS corn
will probably bring 10 cents and alfalfa
hay SO this winter, II is likely gains
will cost upwards Of six cents pound.
Consequently. a 50-cent margin be-
tween buying and selling price should
mean chance for profit to the careful
feeder who gets satisfactory gains.

THE STATE FAIR

A number of our citizens attended
the state Fair at Louisville last
week. IL is certainly a creditable
institution of our state. The attrac-
tions are said to have surpassed
all other years. Miss Ruth Law, the
noted aviatrix. was one of the chief
of the entertainers. Each afternoon
she made flights and performed the
various stunts in mid air that the
modern flyers indulge in at the risk
of their lives. The races were all
good as we'll as the horse shows each
day. The display Of animals, es-
pecially the cattle, was hard to beat.
Farm produce was in abundance
and makes one wonder at nature.

improved methods of home making

FODDER IS NOT SUFFICIENT
Cannot Be Depended Upon Alone to
Carry Stock Through Winter to
Best Advantage.

Good shock fodder Is good roughage
to carry stock cattle In winter. but
alone IL Is not sufficient. II you have
some thrifty shotes TO follow the cattle,
feed broken ear corn. This pays bet
ter than to grind the feed and use corn
and cob meal. Experiments at the I'LL
nois station show that broken ear corn
is practically as good as corn and cob
meal from the standpoint OF beef pro-
duction. while hogs following cattle
thus fed, make three to four times rs
much gain as those following cattle
getting corn and cob meal.
1t will pay to use little purchased
feed such as cottonseed meal, even at
relatively high prices. Don't depend
on corn fodder and corn alone TO carry
your stock cattle to best advantage.

FOOD PREJUDlCES.
Why They Should Be Abandoned For
the Sake of Economy.

Be willing to try new foods. Certain
plentiful and nourishing foods widely
used and enjoyed In one section are
practically unknown in other sections
of the country Learn to know all the
good things. not few only.
People too easily get into food ruts-
insist on eating only the food they are
used 10 and refuse. to give a fair trial
to others. This causes undue demand
for certain staples. with resulting
scarcity or high prices when crops are
short At the same time other valu-
able foods may be relatively cheap and
available. A striking instance of this
Is failure fully to appreciate rice-a
valuable source OF starch-when pota-
toes are scarce and high. Another ex-
ample is refusal In certain sections to
use anything but wheat as breadstuff
when corn-a valuable cereal widely
used elsewhere as breadstun-is
plentiful and relatively cheap.
Learn how to cook all kinds OF sta
pie foods and to serve them In va
riety OF ways. Simple dishes well pre-
pared are better than expensive foods
badly cooked.
Many persons are prejudiced against
certain good foods because when first
tried the foods were improperly cooked.
Remove from your vocabulary don't
like" or cant eat"
Most individual prejudices against
widely popular foods are either i'm
aginary or baseless.

of degerming corn TO prevent its
spoilage, and instead OF bleaching
and securing IL TO remove odors and
impurities, IL might better be eaten
while il is still fresh, pure, and
sweet. To have this privilege the
meal must be ground locally from
new corn. Yet practically all OF the
commercial meal Of the Northern
and Western States during the fall
months when this new corn is readily
available is the product OF old de-
germed commercial corn. In No
vember some Of the crop Is dry
enough 10 leave the farms, and the
meal from this corn does not get
back to the farmer until December
or later.
Animals Know what Is Best
Squirrels, coons, dogs, and other
animals relish new corn and even
refuse to eat old corn unless COM
PEELED by hunger. Rats and mice
usually eat only the germ the
richest aud best part Of the kernel
and leave the rest. This germ, high
est in flavor and food value, Is not
available To man in the ordinary
corn meal of commerce. In that
form one is likely TO get stale corn,
from which the rats and mice have
previously eaten the choicest part,
and degerming machines have re-
moved the rest TO prevent further
spelling. Why" asks a special y
should we make our corn prodI--s
80 poor that they cannot spoil?
Why pay the freight both ways, aud
several commissions. only to get corn
meal with $50 Of its oil removed,
when home grinding would give q
more wholesome and palatable pro-
duct at less cost?'
The excellence Of this new corn
meal has long been-but wrongly
ascribed To water-power and burr
stone grinding. The method OF
grinding has nothing TO do with 1t.
The meal is good because II is fresh
and from the new whole grain. IL
merely happens that in parts Of the
south where the people know and
appreciate the good quality Of this
fresh, sweet meal, 1t is ground large
IL in the water wheel mills using
the old-fashioned mill-stones. As
soon as the corn is ripe II Is dried
in the sun and then used while II is
fresh and clean. In the commercial
meals the germs have been removed
because the oil they contain is like
~ to become rancid after storage,
and this tends TO spoil the whole
product.
Americans, ii is urged, are under
obligation TO eat more corn. because
Of starving nations and a world
scarcity Of wheat; yet Americans
are eating less corn than they ate
years ago. Corn-producing coun-
tries are the ones that should eat ii,
because II is at its best when II has
not been transported long distances.
For all Of these reasons, the United
states Department Of Agriculture
suggest that American families re-
turn to the simple life ideal and
make their own corn meal and
hominy at home during the fall and
winter months.

GERMAN RAIDER LEAVES; DESTI.
NATION NOT KNOWN

Buenos Aires, January 90 The
German raider has apparently disap-
peared just as mysteriously as she ar
rived in the South. Atlantic. Her next
appearance in some far distant part
of the world, heralded by another
drive on allied shipping, was pre-
dicted today
Rumor that the British cruiser
Glasgow had sunk the raider was en-
tirely discredited today.
The newspaper Standard today pub
lished an unconfrmed rumor that a
submarine had stopped the Spanish
steamer Reina Victoria Eugenia yes
terday at the mouth of the River
Plate.
According to this report the steamer
was finally permitted to proceed.
Steamers arriving here today brought
word of the institution out of Rio de
Janerio of Conveying squadron"
for protection of allied shipping.
Only the large merchantmen are
affected, however. These are met far
at sea by allied varships aud escort
cd into Brazilian territorial waters.
Similarly on outward trips, warships
guard such vessels until they are well
out at sea.
All vessels which arrived in port to-
day reported uneventful voyages. with
no sighting of strange craft. All of
them, however, saw the sea plentiful
ly sprinkled with war craft searching
i,r the raider.
