COMBINATION or CORN
PLANT AND ALFALFA
Largest and Most Profitable
Gains Made on Cattle Tested
at Nebraska Station.

A combination of alfalfa hay and
corn plant gave the largest and most
profitable gains on cattle tested at
the University of Nebraska. Corn was
fed both in the form of silage and sto-
yer, and of these, silage was superior.
The cattle were fed in groups of
eight steer calves, each for 20 weeks.
Each animal of one group received
718 pounds of corn, four pounds al
falfa and 312 pounds shredded corn
stover daily. The other gror2 were
fed six pounds corn, 31s pounds alfalfa
and 10 pounds silage.
The silage-fed calves averaged 1.9
pounds gain daily per head, or about
one-third of pound more than the
stover-fed steers. They required only
"a pounds grain per 100 pounds of
gain made instead of five pounds, as.
in the case of the stover-fed animals.
Naluing corn at IS cents a bushel,
alfalfa at So a ton, shredded stOver
and silage at So a ton each, the silage
ration made 100 pounds gain at cost
of $4.66, the profit per steer during the
20 weeks being $3.50. With the sto-
yer ration, 100 pounds gain cost $5.4s,
the profit being only $1.31 per steer.

GRIDIR0N SPORT MIGHT DIE
Effect OF Action Of Yale, Harvard and
Princeton Is PuzzIing to
Football Fans.

The fact that Yale, Princeton and
Harvard, recognized as the leaders In
Football, have suspended activities on
the gridiron for the duration of the
war, has set the devotees of the game
to thinking. The universal question
of those interested in the matter is,
What ultimate effect will this have
on the sport pursued by the smaller
colleges?
Is football to die until after the war
or will those who have the sports In
terest at heart bring strong enough
pressure to bear for its conservation?
Action by the "Big Three" in cancel
ing their schedules is patriotic indeed.
1t is true, but there is probably some
practical method obtainable which will
give the young colleglan a chance to
indulge in his favorite autumn sport.
Football should not be allowed to die
a natural death when means can be
adopted for its preservation. 1t is
part Of every college mans life, and
without its moral and physical effect
he will suffer

WRITTEN MUSIC IS NOT NEW
Custom Of Preserving Melodies In
Tangible Form Was First OBJ
served by the Greeks.

There were great many steps in
the development of the present form
Of writing music. The custom Of writ
Ing melodies rather than trusting to
the uncertain help of memory for their
preservation was first observed by the
Greeks. Indeed, at one time, the pre-
serving Of music In tangible, visible
form was deemed so necessary as to
be the subject of special papal bull.
The writing out Of music was ac-
compllshed by the use Of many differ
ent sets Of signs and symbols, In the
various countries. Nothing really
definite and lasting, though, was done
In this direction until the fifteenth CEN
tury when the first real printing of
melodies and harmonies was accom-
plished In Germany. This was made
possible by the invention of the mov-
able metal types.
The prints thus produced were re-
clear and neat at first, but
they later became gradually more and
more imperfect, which degeneration
finally led to the invention of copper
plate printing In 1889, by Simon We
rovi0, an Italian.-New York Globe.

HOUSE cENTIPEDE NEW PET
10 Quiet, DociIe and Friendly With the
Children and 10 Declared to Be
Death on Bugs.

A family thinks It has modified its
home protective forces to the full when
1t has set up watchdog, a cat,
canary, a rubber plant, war garden
and a fly swatter. These are all very
well as far as they go, says the New
York Tribune, but the world has been
moving swiftly and the most progress
sive and efficient households now have
added the house entipede--vulgarly
called the acknowledged worm
to their forces. We learn from a re-
cent monograph on insects that:
IAN examination Of the head of the
centlpede will reveal pair of strong
jaws that are used against enemies
and for the purpose of capturing small
Insects for food. 1t considers the fly
great delicacy, and, besides this, 1t
eats tieas, mosquitoes, moths, reaches
and other small household pests. 1t
hunts Its food mostly at night. The
house centipede has seldom been
known to bite person, and If, In self
defense, 1t should pinch the baby's
finger or toe, the swelling produced, IL
any, could quickly be alleviated by an
application of ammonia
In the light of these recommended
tons who can afford to be without
one Of these admirable beasts? II Is
noiseess, of excellent though noctur-
nal habits-a night Waterman, as 1t
were--and its upkeep cost is practi-
cally nothing. In the event that 1t
rids the house completely of all the
pests enumerated-particularly the
land others"-the grateful household
err should be willing to pension II on
small bits of meat or whatever its
system Graves. 1t should be taken In

EARLY FALL FLOWING
BEST In NORTHWEST
Result in Productive Soils Is Ac-
emulation of Plant Food
for Next Season.

Paul, MIMI
The chief reason for blowing is to
put the soil in shape to produce good
crops. For the best results the plow-
ing must be done at the right time.
Grain crops in particular need gener-
Gus supplies of readily available plant
food early In the season. Therefore,
in the Northwest early fall blowing
for grain crops Is to be preferred.
This allows the needed changes that
take place in loosened soil to get
started early and to continue until the
ground Is frozen. The result in pro-
ductive soils is the accumulation
throughout the cool fall months of
plant food and this is easily taken up
by the grain plants the following
spring.
For corn, black loan soils should
be plowed in the fall. On the heavier
clay soils spring blowing for corn is
often preferable.
Good blowing means more than
making the field appear black. 1t
means more than making straight fur
rows. However, good plowman
usually makes straight burrows. In
o well-plowed field the soil Is stirred

DESTROY WEEDS WITHOUT COST TO FARMER

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
Sheep will pay for their keep as
weed destroyers alone, says the United
States department of agriculture,
which just announces the result of
study lately completed in New Eng
land.
One of the fields of the Morgan
Horse farm in Vermont, maintained
by the bureau of animal industry Of
the department, largely for the pur-
pose of keeping up supply of good
horses for the army, was infested with
the weed known as paintbrush, or dew
IFS paintbrush. This weed has recent
~ come into northern Vermont, and it
said that some farms have been ru-
ined by it. 1t is now common through
out the Northeast. 1t throws up a
tall, slender stalk, but the damage is
done by the leaves, which are spread
from the crown and form dense mat
on the surface of the ground, eventu-
ally killing out all other vegetation.

# about tw3 acres was fenced off. This

Right FUTURE FOR
FIRST-CLASS STOCK
Majority of All Breeders Now Use
Purebred Sires, Says Kan
sas Authority.

A bright future for purebred live
stock is predicted by Edward N.
Wentworth, professor of animal
breeding in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
"The use of grade sires is gradually
decreasing" said Professor Went
worth. Seventy per cent of the horse
breeders, 65 per cent of the sheep
breeders, 60 per cent of the cattle
breeders, and 80 per cent of the swine
breeders use purebred sires.
''From 8 to 10 per cent of the hogs
are purebred, approximately 21a per
cent each of beef and dairy cattle, 2
per cent of draft horses, 3 per cent of
light horses, and from u to per cent
of sheep.
''These proportions may be those
actually required to furnish the bulk
of breeders with purebred sires, al
though it is probable that there should
be from 6 to 8 per cent of purebreds
In orucr to supply one purebred for
every 80 grade females, to maintain
purebred herds, and to permit a rigid
selection of breeding animals.
'The present proportion of pure
breds seems to be sufficient in order to
supply the present users of purebreds,
but not so rigid q selection can be
practiced as might be desired The
fact that probably all breeders viii
ultimately use purebred sires will
allow a doubling In the percentage of
purebred cattle, an increase of two
thirds in the number of hogs, slightly
more than one-half in sheep, and one
third in the number of horses, without
increasing the severity of selection.
"Such an expansion will afford a
prosperous future for purebred live
stock even though the standards of
selection are not raised. Since, how
ever, standards Of selection are being
continually raised, an even higher per-
centage of purebreds may be ex-
pected."

moved and 40 dry ewes placed In the
Enclosure the first week In July. In
two weeks time the sheep had eaten
almost every leaf of paintbrush In
sight. They seemed to prefer the paint
brush leaves to anything else; at any
rate, they would search out isolated
plants in the grass, and the patches
which wer- covered with paintbrush
are now almost bare. The cleancst
field in the Morgan horse farm is the
one which has been used as sheep
pasture for several years, and which,
when the farm was bought, was as
badly infested with weeds as any.
Pay for Theirs Keep.
This experience indicates that even
if wool and meat only meet expenses,
flock of sheep can be kept for the
labor saved in keeping the farm clear
of weeds. 1t is doubtful, says the de-
partment, whether any other farm ami
NAL has SO wide field of usefulness
as the sheep when intelligently
handled. Sheep produce meat at n
less cost of grain than any other ami
NAL. They pay their way with the
wool they yield aud they eXterminate
NoXious weeds practically without cost.

PROPER FEED FOR DRY COWS
Roughase Supplemented by Daily Al
IoManoe of Bran and Oats Is
Recommended as Good.

During the eight or ten weeks that
cows go dry, their food should be
chiefly roughage. A daily allowance
of two pounds of bran or oats, or a
mixture of two parts each Of bran
and oats and one part of linseed meal
or cOrn-oil meal makes a proper feed
for a cow near ealvirg Some roots,
cabbage, pumpkins, or Squashes are
also very good. Highly earbonaceous
roughage, such as straw and corn
stalks, is not good at this particular
time. Such feeds, with cold water,
cold drafts, or lying out at night on
damp or frozen ground, are the chief
causes of caked udder or garget.

An Animal That Initiates Fruit.

An animal which the Filipinos call
caguan Is one Of the most curious
mammals that exist, offering at the
same time the characteristics of mon
key and bat. 1t hangs from branch
downward, its four feet together and
its head between its paws. In this po-
sition 1t is never disturbed by birds or
beasts Of prey, for 1t resembles some
unpalatable fruit of great size, of
which there are many examples In the
tropical woods. The caguan harmo-
nizes so well with the bark of the tree
on which 1t seeks its roost that it feels
certain that 1t will not be
molested.

and pulverized to the depth indicated
as necessary by the kind of soil and
the crop to be grown; and the stubble
and rubbish are completely turned un.
der where it will be out of the way
and quickly decomposed. For most
crops, deep, rather than shallow plow-
ing, is the best practice.
To do good work with minimum of
power, plows must be equipped with
properly shaped and sharpened shares.
A good share allows a pillow to run
true and little or no effort is neces-
sary to hold it in place.
To turn under all rubbish a good
jointer properly adjusted IS necessary.
No stubble or weeds are left sticking
up between the burrows where a good
jointar is used.
Keep the plowshare property shaped
and sharpened. Use jointer so that
all rubbish is turned under completely.
Increase the depth of plowing an inch
or two each year for several seasons.
