all through the day. The enemy af
first occupied the village with large
number Of machine guns. There the
Italians attacked them with artillery
fire, with hand to hand struggles. even
with knives
The enemy had the advantage Of po-
sition as the river makes sharp bend.
SO that his positions formed al arc on
each side of the bend. But with all
their disadvantage the Italians hal
steadily pressed them back so thai
they occupied less than quarters

sides. The artillery was concentrating

THE MANuRIAL INGREDIENTS OF
FEEDS.

National Crop Improvement seryicel
Nitrogen is the most important and
most valuable fertilizing element sup
piled by feeds, and it is in this ele-
ment that they show the greatest
variation.
The Connecticut Experiment Sta
ton states that it was found that the
average mixed fertilizer contained
2.95 per cent nitrogen and showed in
table that eighteen of fifty-two diff
ferent feeds contained 3.93 per cent.
Among this list is cottonseed and lin
seed meals, gluten seed, middlings,
brewers and distillers' products, and
few of the feed mixtures. 1t is OBJ
vious, therefore, that wise selection
of feeds enhances the value of the
manure and consequently plays an
important part in farm economy.
Mexico Missouri message., 1917-08-02
BUYING FEED INGREDIENTS
Difficult to Buy Proper Feed stuffs at
Random.

National Crop Improvement serylce.l
There are not a dozen feed stores
in the country that carry in stock all
the ingredients of a first-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 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
the rest of us and they will use recog,
nized brands in their own feeding
operations rather than go to the trou'
BILE and take the time to follow theil
own advice.
There are a good many herds a.
experiment stations which are kept a!
sort of clinic for professors to prac
tice theories upon. The poor brute'
are used 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 will
homegrown corn, oats or barley. tt
do this widens your ration, and it Il
correct to do SO if it will reduce you
cost of feeding. Mixed feeds, there
fore, are largely a matter of arith
metic.
You can usually get the result 70
less money than by feeding more ex
penslve grains separately.

FARMER FEED EXPERTS.
National Crop Improvement seryice.l


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
manufactureG which according to the
market at the time would be more
economical, he could, through his ex-
perience, 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 shortage of forage and grain
crops on the farm.
If such a 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.

C. II. Packard, Of DelaYan, 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 1t
seemed to be theoretically correct, he
thought he would try out his own
mixture in comparison with 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 cents per cow. He figured
his own grain at prices much below
the wholesale market and bought his
mixed feed at retail
Aise when his ration was figured ac'
eording to Armsby or Energy method
his mixed feed proved to be the right
combination to make q balanced ration
with his own farm roughage.

A dairy ration must, of all things,
be palatable so that a COW will eat it.
1t must be bulky and coarse so as to
avoid indigestion and sickness. 1t
must contain variety of foods so
that the COW will not tire of it or get
off her feed. 1t must contain enough
real protein-all protein is not alike.
1t must contain the right amounts
and kinds of mineral substances nee
essary to life, health and milk secre-
ton. 1t must be highly digestible
Many feeds are only about fifty tC
sixty per cent digestible and the work
of excreting so much waste matter is
costly in that it uses up the energy OF
the food to do it.
Mexico Missouri message., 1917-08-02
SUCCESSFUL FEEDING.

National Crop Improvement Seryice.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.

Stockfood consists briefly of three
chief parts or compounds, emitting
the water and minerals. They are:
Protein containing nitrogen), a
muscle former.
Fat mot containing nitrogen), a
fuel or fattening substance.
Carbohydrates (meaning made OK
carbon, hydrogen and OXYGEN.
These three substances are called
organic matter, because they will
burn.
Mineral matter is called inorganic.
An animal can live on protein alone
but would not under normal condi-
lions, because protein (or albumen)
is only found mixed with fat in the
case OF meat and with fat and carbo-
hydrates in the case of plants and
cereals. Familiar examples Of pro-
tein are white of egg, lean meat and
the gluten which can be chewed out
of wheat. Fat or oil we all know.
Carbohydrates include sugar,
starch, cellulose, fibre, gums, etc.

an animal must have small amounts
of protein and larger amounts of fat
or carbohydrates. They serve as
building material to replace WORKOUT
tissue and flesh and also to furnish
power (energy) to move, work, and
do all the inside work Of the body.
The ash or mineral matter fur
nishes bone material and is also nee
essary but abundant in nature. A
growing animal needs plenty of pro-
tein and ash (bone food and of car
bohydrates and fat. A grown-up ami
NAL needs less of either the first two,
but plenty of the last two. A preg-
nant animal needs plenty of food for
its unborn young.
