WHAT'S IN A MIXED FEEpY

lNauonai crop improvement ServiceI
A high-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.

Prof. j. P. Street, in the Annual
Report of the Connecticut Agricul-
tural Station for 1912, says: "That
malt sprouts should receive more con-
sideration from dairymen, especially
in comparison with many of the pro-
prietary mixed feeds containing only
from one-third to one-half as much
protein as malt sprouts, prices being
considered"
He also states that dried brewers
grains, prices considered, in connec-
ton with the feeds high analysis, is
one of the cheapest high-grade feeds
on the market.

Homegrown grains can often be prof
itably traded for protein feeds. While
oats are generally demanded for horse
feed, they are nearly always too ex-
pensive for dairy feed. Oats by-prod-
ucts, however, are very useful for
bulk.

Starchy feeds like corn and oats
often sell as high as protein feeds be-
cause of the demand for them for
horses and other work animals.
Starchy feeds are also good to fatten
steers. That is why they are often as
high in price as dairy feeds. which are

Was it a Yankee Trick?

The Ell Paso Morning Times is consid-
cred about the best authority on Democra-
cy in the great Southwest. In a recent
issue of that paper, commenting on Col
Roosevelt's Pittsburgh, Pa, speech, we
get it that we should not worry about
whether or not the United States will cease
it's activities in military training immedi-
ately after this war is over, that Col
Roosevelt is correct in his contention for
national compulsory military training, and
that never again will the United States be
caught in an unprepared condition, as in
the case with the present crisis. We get
an inkling of between the lines reading
that the dope sent out at the beginning of
this matter of raising an army to fight
Germany, l. e., that soldiers would only be
required for service for the period of
this war, and that all such military activi-
ity would cease Immediately at the end of
this war, was all done to pacify the Peace
at any price" bunch, or in the spirit of
Billy Bryan, only for home consumption.
Fine DOPE And We agree with the Times
that when this war is over that there will
be enough sensible people in the United
States to see to it that we have compulsory
military training. We also want to remark
that this dope only for home consump-
tion'' is about the rankest that any nation
of civilized people were ever punished with
