FEEDING LAMBS ON
CORN AND LEGUM MES
Expert of Ohio Station Gives Re-
suits Secured in Feeding
Various Roughages.

''When the same grain ration was
fed, no matter whether the grain con-
sisted Of corn alone or Of corn and
linseed meal, the lambs fed clover or
alfalfa made larger gains, required
less feed per pound OF gain and pro-
duced gains at a lower cost for feed
than did those given either oat straw
or corn stover," said J. W. Hammond
OF the Ohio experiment station in dis
cussing the results secured in his lamb
feeding tests with various roughages.
saThe value Of leguminous roughages
is generally appreciated by lamb feed
ers; and most OF them know that so
far as efficiency is concerned clover
and alfalfa hay are unsurpassed for
finishing lambs. On most farms, how
ever, there are always such roughages
as oat straw or corn slower that ii is
desirable to utilize In the feeding op-
erations. There are years when
1egumes are a partial or total failure,
or not enough 1egumes may be raised
to feed as many lambs as desired. In
such cases timothy hay, cat straw or
corn slower are fed.
'These non-leguminous feeds, how
ever, did not prove satisfactory as
sole roughages for fattening lambs In
the feeding tests conducted at the ex-
pertinent station. They may be used
in the earlier part OF a long feeding
period, provided the lambs are finished
on a more efficient roughage like elO-
yer or alfalfa, or they may be used
as a part Of the roughage.
"Such feeds as timothy hay, oat
straw and corn slower are low in pro-
tein, and should be supplemented with
q high-protein feed like Hnseed meal.
In the feeding trials mentioned above
the addition Of Hnseed meal to corn
and either oat straw or corn slower re-
suited in larger and cheaper gains and
higher finish on the lambs. Still, the
gains made by these lambs were more
costly than those produced by clover
or alfalfa

Kidding SWINE OF vERMIN
Farsighted Farmers Keep oilers In
Hog Lot the Year Round-Sure
Death to All Lice.

When you see your hogs rubbing
against fence rails, posts, trees, cor
ners OF buildings; when they don't
gain; when their coat OF hair gets
rough and skin becomes diseased;
when they get restless and nervous
it's ninety-nine times out Of one hun
dred that they are infested with mis-
cradle, blood-Sucking, torturing, tor
menting lice.
In such a case don't waste any time
Get some indicated or crude oil and
if you have a dozen or more hogs, get
a hog oiler and let your hogs rid
themselves Of these pests without de-
lay. These hog oilers allow the hogs
to rub the oil on the itchy, lousy parts.
This is sure death to the lice, but
cannot harm your hogs
Farsighted hog raisers take no
chances with filthy lice. They keep
hog oilers in their hog lot the year
round. The saving in feed alone soon
pays for the oil and oiler.

human consumption should be used as
largely as possible in feeding the live
stock. By feeding straw or corn slower,
especially for wintering mature stock
ers and breeding animals, farmers viii
make the best possible use OF these
roughages. In this way a large pro-
portion Of the straw and slower ordi-
narily burned or wasted can be manu-
featured into meat and milk. Grain
sorghums, wherever they are available,
should be fed to release corn for hui
man uses. Grain, where fed, should be
used as economically as possible.
'Every animal should be a factory
for turning into food material inedible
for human beings. This will necessi-
tate changes in many feeding formulas
and stOckmen are urged to apply at
once to the United States department
OF agriculture or their state agricul-
tural colleges for information as to the
most effective and economical methods
Of feeding live stock under existing

PACKING EGGS FOR MATCHING
Good Plan to Use Strong Basket Lined
With ExceIsior-Aim to Prevent
Any Earring.

A good way to pack eggs for hatch
ing is in strong basket. The basket
should be lined with excelsior or other
spring material which will hold its Do
sitiOn, about an inch thick; then each
egg should be wrapped with excelsior,
half an inch thick, and carefully nested
in the basket until all the eggs are in +;
then they should be covered over with
an inch of excelsior and a cloth cover
held on by tacks pushed into the rim
of the basket, or sewed down by pass
ing heavy string through the cloth and
through the basket beneath the rim.
Such package is strong and does
not jar the eggs enough to hurt them,
even when quite roughly handled. A
basket with a strong. upright handle
should be used, so that other things
cannot be piled on the basket and
crush it.

(From the United States Department of
AgricuIture.)
'Don't sell your breeding animals
unless you can replace them immedi-
ately with better Ones" is the message
the United States department Of agri-
culture is sending to farmers and
stockmen everywhere. "Don't let the
temptation of high prices now being
offered for live stock, or undue fear Of
the prices asked for many popular
feeds mislead you into selling cow or
SOW that will drop the golden calf or
filters. Such nearsighted prof1t-taking
or lack of courage, If widespread,
would strike at the foundation OF the
country's live stock industry and Grip
pie it for years to come. As there is
a shortage of meat animals throughout
the world, we cannot hope to import
new breeding stock to replace those we
foolishly have killed OFF. Our own
breeding animals, therefore, must be
regarded as the seed essential to the
domestic meat supply OF the nation.

ORCHARDS RESPOND TO CARE
Farmers Expect to Get Fruit With
out Any Attention.

That orchards respond to care has
been demonstrated repeatedly. In
spite OF this fact, however, many farm
ers expect their trees to bear fruit
without any attention whatever. Il is
just as important to care for trees es
It is for animals. A highly productive
tree is no more capable Of shifting for
Itself and competing with its enemies
than an animal, yet farmers viii take
better care OF their live stock than they
do OF their trees. simply because they
can more readily see the effect OF neg
lect on an animal than on a tree.

FARM
POULTRY
ECONOMICAL FEED FOR HENS
Simple Ration, Consisting of Corn and
Protein Supplement Favored by
Ohio Station.

That a simple ration consisting OF
corn and protein supplement is more
economical under usual market cOndi-
tons than a mixture of several differ
ent feeds for laying hens is shown by
feeding tests at the Ohio experiment
station.
Corn and meat scrap have given
practically as good returns as ration
of corn, wheat, oats, bran, middlings,
Oilmeal and meat scrap. The hens fed
the simple ration had access to self
feeding hoppers containing a dry mash
made of eight parts of ground corn
and five parts of meat scrap analyzing
80 per cent protein. They received
twice as much corn, fed in equal por-
lions in the litter twice daily, as they
consumed of the mash, and also had
grit and oyster shells.
The hens fed the variety ration laid
more eggs, but not enough more TO pay
for the extra cost Of their feed. Tank
age and skim milk, as well as meat
scrap, are recommended to be fed with
corn for laying hens.

TO HELP KANSAS SOLDIERS
Women of State Are Organizing a

comforted in the knowledge that his

An organization for that purpose has
just been started by Mrs. Charles 1.

Martin of the Kansas national guard.
1t is known as "The Military Sister
hood of Kansas" Branches will be
established in all towns and plans per-
fected for carrying out the objects of
the association.
ut is imperative in addition to re-
lief and personal service that every
thing be done to keep the men in
military service up to the high stan
dard of efficiency which Kansas
troops now hold,'' said Mrs. Martin.
ITO do this the cooperation of the
home must be secured and American
standards of living must prevail. 1t
is further vital that if men enter the
service of the state md nation in any
considerable number, their places
must be taken in industries by women,
and that every step be taken to as
sure this end to safeguard the women
who enter industry for the first time
I'VE wives. mothers and sisters of

teal service which women can render

and serve their country and will re-
lieve them of worry and embarrass-

DISPosINe OF DEAD ANIMALS
Common Practice of Feeding careasses
&c Swine Is Dangerous and
Should Be Stopped.
ey DR. J. T PINwooDIE. South Da-

Ry DR. J. 7. DINWOoDIE, South Da-
kota State College,
The common practice of feeding car
easses to hogs is dangerous and should
be discontinued. Although hogs fortu-
nately are not susceptible to the many
diseases that kill other classes OF do
nestle animals, yet feeding TO swine
the carcaSses OF animals dead from In
fictitious and contagious diseases does
not remove the danger to other ami
mails. In many cases such a practice
Is only a means OF spreading disease.
The meat of an animal whose death
was due to disease is not lit food for
any other animal. Such meat is full OF
the poisonous material produced and
liberated by the action OF disease
germs. Undoubtedly in many cases
hogs suffer from digestive troubles
from this very cause. This condition
may be only temporary and pass IN

Burning is the only sure method OF
destroying a carcass. Burying does not
destroy, 1t only removes. Feeding to
hogs does neither.

GREEN ALFALFA is
CAUSE OF FLOATING
Always Wise 10 Give Live Stock
Full Feed of Hay Before Turn
ing Them on Pasture.

By r H. WILLIAMS, Animal Husband
man, University OF Arizona-)
Cattle and sheep. are very suscept-
ible to injuries from bloat when pas
tured on alfalfa. Extra care Is neces-
sary to avoid deaths, and many times
not a few animals will die in spite
Of the greatest care possible. It is
always wise to give animals a full
feed of alfalfa hay, corn fodder or
other food before turning them out
on alfalfa pasture. The alfalfa should
be fairly well matured, and OF a dark
green color, for it is the light green
alfalfa which causes bloat. Animals
that have not been accustomed to
alfalfa should follow those having
grazed the field down, leaving moth
Ing but the coarse woody stems and
q small portion Of green shoots.
After being left on such a pasture
for q while they may be graduated
to other fields with more alfalfa.
Supplying the animals with alfalfa
hay or other dry food along with the
alfalfa will also have good effect in
checking the b1oat.
Since the new shoots are the por-
tons of the plant which cause bloat-
ing, it is wise to turn animals into
an alfalfa field only a few minutes
for the first time, ten minutes is
probably sufficient, and not more
than twenty minutes at a time for
the first week. After this time the
period may be heightened and the
animals allowed to Craze at will. 1t
viii thus be necessary to turn the
stock into the field two or three
times a day, and they should be
taken of before they begin to bloat.
By allowing some OF the animals to
Craze over a fresh area and secure
a small amount Of heads and turn
them back onto the main stems little
bloat will result. This is probably
one Of the best ways OF preventing the
trouble.
1t has been found that moving ami
mails around and compelling them to
exercise relieves those somewhat that
are suffering from bIoat. A dose Of
formaline. consisting OF 20 &C Cor
three tablespoonfuls), for a mature
steer, or one-fourth Of this amount
for calf, has a specific effect in re-
Heving the formation OF gas in the
stomach. Some run q rubber hose
down the throat into the paunch and
the gas is liberated through it. a
small teacupful OF kerosene and one
half pint OF sweet milk IS also a
good specific for this trouble. A
small amount OF turpentjne In this
mixture would also facilitate relief.
When an animal is so far gone as to
stagger and be almost ready to fan,
IL viii be wise to use the trOcar and
canula. by puncturing the rumen just
below and in front OF the hip bone.
