THE HANURlAL INGREDIENTS OF
FEEDS

National Crop Improvement serrice.l
Nitrogen is the most important and
most valua bic fertilizing element sup
piled by feeds, and it is in this ele-
ment that they show the greatest
variation
The Connecticut Experiment Sta
tion states that it was found that the
average mixed fertilizer contained
2.95 per cent nitrogen and showed in
a table that eighteen of fifty-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 tho value of the
manure and consequently plays an
important part in farm economy.

BUYING FEED INGREDIENTS
Difficult to Buy Proper Feed stuffs at
Random.

Irrational Crop Improvement servicel
There are not a dozen feed stores
In the country that carry in stock all
the ingredients of a flrst-class mixed
feed at all times and at reasonable
prices, and usually they do not carry
feeds of the same high quality used
by the mixers who work scientifically
through a laboratory This is human
nature. Competition compels a dealer
to sell the cheapest quality. The best
quality of feed is seldom carried, be-
cause the average buyer Will not pay
the highest price. A good many eX-
pertinent stations in a general way
will advocate that a farmer mix all
his own feed. but they are human like
he rest of US and they will use recog-
niZed brands in their own feeding
operations rather than so to the trou-
BILE and take the time to follow their
own advice.
There are a good many herds at
experiment stations which are kept as
sort of a clinic for professors to prac-
tice theories upon. The poor brutes
are used a good deal as guinea pigs
in hospital practice. On the other
hand. at the experiment stations are
to be found many of the finest ami
mails ever bred.
The mixed feeds of the first grade
can be fed alone or in connection with
home-gIo own corn, oats or barley. To
do this widen your ration, and it is
correct to DO so if it will reduce your
cost of feeding. Mixed feeds, there
fore. are largely matter Of arith-
met!c.
You can usually get the result for
less money than BY feeding more ex-
pensive grains separately.

WHAT'S IN A MIXED FEED7

National Crop improvement Service
A high-grade mixed feed suitable
for any kind or breed OF dairy COW
should have high protein content,
with an exact digestiCie 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 nc
cheap filters Of any kind and so the
food is highly concentrated and
roughage can be supplied at hone.

Prof J. p. Street, in the Annual
Report of the Connecticut Agricul-

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

He also states that dried brewers

one of the cheapest high-grade feeds
on the market.

CONCERNING FOOD PRICES
The Aims of the Government in Fix
ing Prices

There has been so much question
concerning the matter OF government
control of food prices in order to
stimulate production and also break
up corners" that the Secretary of
Agriculture has issued the following
statement:
ONLY two suggestions have been
made: One IS that the Government
be given power tohX minimum price
with a view to stimulate production.
This price would be sufficiently high
to insure producers against loss. 1t
could not have the effect feared by
YOUR corres pondent, because the very
object would be 10 stimulate production
by assuring sufficiently high prices TO
producers The other suggestion is
that the Government be given power
TO fix maximum price, in extreme
emergencies, to break corners or to
control eNtortion IL is not cOntem-
plated that the Government, if it had
the power TO fix a maximum price
would announce the existence of such
a price o reference TO any one or more
commodities in advance of the appear
ance of an acute situation: nor is II
contemplated that such a price, if
fixed. would be of continuing opera
ton. The single thought in this con
nection Is that the power might be
used as a club. TO be applied only in
individual cases where it is clear thai
an individual-or corporation had estab-
lished a corner or was practjcing eN-
torti0n The power, it is suggested,
would be used against such individuals
or corporations, and when that par
ticuar situation was control ed or the
above eliminated the incident would
be closed. ANY further exercise Of
abe power would depend upon the APP
pearauce of q similar condito on

Fat (not containing nitrogen), a
fuel or fattening substance.
Carbohydrates (meaning made OF
carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
These three substances are called
organic matter, because they will

Mineral matter is called inorganic.

of wheat. Fat or oil we all know
Carbohydrates include sugar,

"GINGLES JINGLES"
SMILES.

To Intricate the wheels of
fate there's nothing like smile.
1t makes the going easy and
not up grade all the while. A
smiling face will do more good
than doctors dope and pills. 1t
puts the cheer in cheerfulness
and cures you of your ills. By
smiling you will catch the light
and mingle with the rays of our
old sun who knows no nights but
bright and pleasant days. Just
swing in line and can the blues
and smile and don't complain
The clouds you'll find will clear
away and sunshine follow rain.
Not only will it do you good to
come through with a smile, but
all you come in contact with will
initiate your style, and thus true
happiness you gain. but in no
other way can you be truly
happy. so just try it for day,
and note the change it makes in
you and in the ones you meet
and watch the crouch hike in to
clear and discomfort retreat.
