DIFFICULT TO MIX FEEDS
a More Scientific Result Can Be Pro-
duced BY Machinery.
National Crop improvement. servies.l

AH i>aelou Sipp improvement SerSlc6.l
As no two lots run alike, it is very
difficult to mix straight by~-products
of oats, barley, rye, corn, c%otton-seed,
faxseed, etc, by measure, because it is
purely guessing. Only a few years ago
Intentional fraud or unintentional
.carelessness was the rule. Before the
feed laws were passed, each manu-
facturer adulterated all the trade
would stand.
Every car of feed sold to the CON
sumner is not analyzed, and the farmer
cannot become a feed expert because
he has no laboratory. Not one car
out OF five hundred is officially in
spected. In the Old days country
millers were throwing feeds together
with no knowledge of feed and were
ruining valuable COWS and making the
farmer poorer. In these days the feed
tables were wrong, the feeds didn't
fit the tables; the disestible analysis
method was incorrect; feed standards
for animals were not agreed upon o
complete; the animals didn't at the
standards; the buyer didn't know
WllhA WIS lA~lAG ASOuc bOuSilC W
mix; and there was an u~naFoidable
variation in the concentration Of the
feed.
These conditions have been largely
overcome through the joint action Of
the government and state experiment
stations and the mixed feed manu-
f&ctnrers who have every facility for
maintaining a uniform product. BY
using these scientifically prepared
feeds, many a herd has doulted Its
yielh AMI profits. There are some
painters who can buy lead, oil and
dryer and mix and match their own
color uniformly but the best painters
of today have learned that mill-made
brands are much better than any
thing they can mix With q paddle.
The same is true in fertilizers to a
great extent. d mixed feeds there
can be 40 economy in home mixing
because the mixing factories, being
near the large markets can utilize
~by-products to the very best advan-
tage. Home mixing cannot be accom-
plished at one-tenth OF q cent per lb.,
besides the result n never twice alike
and cannot be without the help OF =
laboratory.

the DAIRY RATION
Feeding Tables Hard to Follow on
Account of Variation Of
Ingredients.
National Crop Improvement Service.

National Crop Improvement Service
For many years feeders have en-
deavored to use so-called standard
tables showing the theoretical num-
Der of pounds each of so-called di-
gestible protein, fats and carbohy-
drates. These methods are fatally
defective for the following reasons:
First, the tables call for so much
digestible food. II there was such a
thing as ~digestible food 1t might fur
nish a basis to go by, but digestible
food is really apparently digestible
food, in that it disappears in the body.
Just what use is made of it is not al
ways clear. Some OF it turns into gas,
some is converted into heat, and much
of it is used in the labor OF digesting
and handling the food. In the case
all of its energy is used up in the
labor of digestfng it, leaving little or
no net gain. Straw should be re-
turned to the soil. Take two samples
of dried barley grains, each contain
ing the same amount OF digestibie
food, and n wal give twenty more
therms or heat units than the other.
One hundred pounds of ~digestible
food derived from r~oughage is about
equal to eighty pounds derived from
grain, so If we add together things
which are unlike, we get no tangible
results. It is like adding so many
pounds to SO many gallons. So, the

very Inaccurate. The correct way is,
first, to ascertain how mRch protein
and energy a COW needs to sustain
life and keep weight. You can get
this from your experiment station,
and ascertain how much is necessary
to make one pound Of milk OF a cer-
tain fat test, and then feed her as
much protein and Energy as IS needed
to maintain her and supply food for
al many pounds of milk AZ she a
make.
This is . very difficult problem
and few can do it,aand we challenge
any two men to tackle the same prob
lem under the same conditions and
arrive ct the same result.

NEW ROAD IS OPENED

"cut or" Of Lincoln Highway Near
Lamoiile Ready for Travel.
The new section Of the Lincoln High
way, thru the HUFF farm south Of La
noble, has been opened for traffic and
the old road that touches the south
tdge Of Lamoille will be closed soon
The "cut off" Of the highway joins the
old road at the first turn in the Lin
coin highway south Of the village. 1t
runs In q northwesterly direction thru
the Hun farms for little less than a
mile, Joining the Lincoln highway we'll
up the Linn creek valley. This section
Of the new road was opened to get the
road on higher ground out Of the creek
valley and to prevent the necessity of
rebuilding several old bridges, an ex-
pense that would have to have been
borne by the county. The land in the
old road that is being abandoned has
been turned back to the adjoining land
owners.
Since the farmers living in the Iowa
river valley west of Liscomb have fill
ed an application In the district court
for an injunction to restrain the coun-
ty from grading the road west Of the
river. unless additional bridges were
built in It to furnish waterways for
floods. the county has called off its
road builders and work has been
stopped. The grading was only partly
finished. With the determination not
to finish the grading rather than fight
the lawsuit, the road will continue to
remain in its unpassable condition in
the spring of the year.

His grandfather is in the employ of
Uncle Sam, engaged in passing back
and forth mail for dependent human
ity. His father, Mr.. D., also earns
his bread in the same useful work in
the indianapolis post office. Since
these men of two generations are con-
nected with the mail service, they
doubtless expect little Dick to follow
in their steps. Friends of the family
are sure that this is the intention OF
the parents, the child's name being the
proof. The mother liked Richard, and
the father liked Franklin, so the child
became Richard Franklin D., or for

PAGES WEEKLY LETTER

Little Rock, Oct. 24.-The price of cotton is high this year, the yield in most sections is fair at least. Last year many farmers all over the State were able to pay out of debt. This year when the crop is marketed they will have some surplus money. At least large part of this surplus money should be put in some perma- nent investments. A new home can be built, or the old house repaired. Some new fence an be built which will enable the farmer to keep more live stock. On thousands of farms the work is handicapped due to a shortage of machinery. This year some new tools can be bought Many renters will be able to make a first payment on farm, so that they can soon own home of their own. To let this year go by without making some permanent investments or improvements will be big mistake.
 In the south half of the state this year the boil weevil has damaged the cotton crop seriously. The amount of damage done next year will depend largely on how many of the weevils live over the winter. The adult weevil hibernates in the cotton stalks, grass. I L i I. 1 The ditch banks should be burned and the brush cleared out along the edge of the field when it is practicable. Breaking the land and turning under the stalks and grass on the field will destroy many of these insects. Prompt attention to this matter by all the farmers will reduce the damage of the weevil next season.
The Prescott daily news., 1917-10-24

Judge Thomas, spent considerable money in an effort to correct the trouble, but to no avail.
 The fencing and buildings on the poor farm are in good repair, and we are of the opinion that no expenses will be incurred on the farm for the next twelve months, further than the maintenance of the inmates, which we have under contract for the year 1918, at $15.0O per month, for each pauper, this to cover all expenses of mainten- ance, including medical attention, etc, and burial expenses, should any of the inmates die.
 The county jail is in reasonably good condition. The grand jury has recommended some changes for the accommodation of whites and colored but additional room would have to be provided in order to make the neces- sary changes. Therefore, with the financial condition of the county be- fore us, we cannot at this time, re- commend any appropriation for the work. The building is kept sanitary, and the prisoners given the best care possible under the conditions.
 We have already called your atten- tion to the repairs so badly needed on the court house, and the work is now under way. Realizing the importance of having the work completed before the Fall rains began, did not await the action of this court, feeling as- sured that it would meet your ap- proval.
 The interest of our county has been our uppermost thought, and we have economized in every way possible, and we hope during the next twelve months we will be able to use greater economy.
 Respectfully submitted.

 County Judge.

VALUE OF FARM
 DEMONSTRATION AGENTS

To County Judges and Quorum Courts
 of Arkansas:
 l notice in Sundays Gazette that IS counties in Arkansas have no county farm demonstration agents. What we need during this war is a man and woman agent in each of the 75 coun- ties. If it pays in 58 counties-it will pay in 75.
 Never in the history of this country have we needed government farm de- Imonstration agents so badly as right now. The question of winning this war lies in the production and conser- vation of food and feed and my work after the pledge campaign is over. will be very closely allied with the work of the farm demonstration agents and that work will be of untold benefit to the farmers of this country.
 The question of marketing is going to be one of the main features in the coming years and all counties not hay ing farm demonstration agents will feel the need of them before the next season is over. Men to break land and plant crops are going to be very scarce and the government farm de- monstration agent who is in touch with the state and national govern ment may be able to render a service to the farmers which he has never been called upon to do before. Farm hands are in great demand right now-thousands of acres of cot ton and no pickers. Men are being sought all over the country for the rice harvosts and very few to be found big saw mills closing down on account of insufficient help. What on earth will we do next year when the crops are to be planted within a given time? Gentlemen of the quorum courts of Arkansas, allow me to beg you just this one time to make allowance suf ficient to employ one or more farm demonstration agents.
 Why you hesitate to vote tax to help the farmers is more than I have ever been able to understand. Vote it this time if you never vote it again. The county demonstration agent of my home county has this year alone, saved enough hogs by vaccinating them to pay for his services a life time, to say nothing about the many people he has helped otherwise. Our canning club agent has supervised the Icannlng of enough fruit and vege- tables this year to pay her salary sev- eral times besides teaching the many women and girls how to can in the future and we will need the farm de- monstration agents next year as we have never needed them before. Hark this prediction.
 Yours very truly,
 HAMP WILLIAMS,
 Federal Food Adnr
