Masurian Lakes.

The Masurian lake region lies in
Masurenland. gently rolling region
of East Prussia marked by hundreds
of lakes of various sizes connected by
channels and a canal system more
than 100 miles long. Roughly, the
area of the district Is covered by the
circles of Sensburg, Oletzka, Osterode,
Allensteln, Roessel, Ortelsburg, Lyck
(capltaD, LOetzen and Neidenburg.
The lakes are of different shapes,
some being rounded and others basins,
with numerous radiating branches |;
others are long, narrow channels Wild
ening into pools Mt intervals like beads
on string. The largest, Mauer and
Spirding, cover 40 square miles. The
lakes form very effective barrier for
Germany against Russia, as was evi-
denced several times during the early
part of the war, when the Russian
armies Were trapped there or forced
to retreat. This bore out the wise op-
position of Won Hindenburg and 9TH
ers against draining the lakes, prof.
ect considered by the German govern
ment several years ago.-Phlladelphia

RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF BOAR
Animal Should Not Be Used Very
Much Until One Year OId-Keep
in Best of Condition.

A boar should not be used very
much Oh sows until he is one year old,
nor for heavy service until two years
old. If one wants to develop boar
to the highest possibility it is not
well to use him at all under one year
old.
One service per day is enough, but
In case two sows are to be served in
one day, breed one in the morning
and the other in the evening, and let
the boar rest a day or so before using
him again. One service to e sow is
all that is necessary. With such
treatment mature boar should be
able to handle so or GO sows during a
breeding season.
The boar should be kept in good
condition all the year, but not so fat
as to be lazy and clumsy. His ration
should be increased before the breed
ing season, in order to have. him gain
ing at the time he is being used. This
keeps him in good condition, and bet
ter results may be obtained.

SC0URS IN CALVES
CAN BE Prevented
Animals Should Have Warm,
Clean and WeIl-VentiIated
Pens-Feed Grain.

Thousands of calves are lost each
year by what is known as scours, says
III. ii. Kildee, University farm, st.
Paul. On every farm measures should
be taken. to guard against this dis
ease, which results from deranged
digestive system.
Calves should have warm, clean,
light and well-ventilated pens. Milk
should be fed on regular amounts, at
regular times, at Il temperature of
about so degree F., from scrupulously
clean pals. The foam which accum-
ulates on the milk while it is being
separated should never be fed.
The time to feed the grain ration is
Immediately after the milk is fed, SO
that the calves will not suck each 9TH
er's ears and thus take air into the
stomach. which causes bloat and pro-
duces scours.
1t is well to have stanchions in one
side of the pen so that the calves may
be confined for short time after be.

4 Difference IN
THE Investment
The Western Canada Farm Prof.
its Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George II. Barr. of Iowa, holds
seven sections of land in Saskatche-
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home in Iowa Is held at $3.50 per acre.
These lands are in a high state of cul-
tivation, with splendid improvements
In houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share Of
crop on a quarter section in Saskatche-
wan. wheat on new breaking gave him
80. per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
80 bushels per acre. This year the
same quarter-section, sown to Red
Fife on stubble gave 3,2S6 bushels. His
share, 1,643 bushels of l Northern at
S1.5G per bushel, gave him S2,563.0S.
Seed, half the twine and half the
threshing bill cost him S453.00 Allow
Ing share of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged to this
quarter-section even to $1,000, and he
has left 100000, that is so per cent
of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not 2 or per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
'That's no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
Ing a number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. II. Kerton, n tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought quarter
section of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Hauley. From proceeds of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him a
week ago: "Well, George, what shall
I tell friends down home for your"
The reply was: "Tell them l shall
never go back to be a tenant for any
man." Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 In cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home devotes
most of his time to raising and deal
ing in live stock. On his first visit of
inspection to Saskatchewan. he real
lied the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. So his quarter
sections, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: "Let ma
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall, take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market. There Is money
In it."-Advertisement.

possible use should be mada of such
roughages as cc-n fodder, straw, or
silage, but these feeds must be
supplemented with either little cot
tonseed cake, linseed meal or alfalfa
hay. An advantage of cottonseed
cake is that It can be used readily
to supplement poor winter grazing, be-
Ing easily transported. very concen-
trated, easy to feed, and a natural
supplement- to native grasses. Alfalfa
alone fed to steers at the North Platte
station, Nebraska. made gains of three
fourths pound per day as compared to
gains of one-fifth pound on prairie hay.
but alfalfa. and prairie hay together
were practically equal to alfalfa alone.
Fourteen pounds of straw and one
pound of cottonseed meal have put
21 pounds gain on stockers during a
winters feeding. The addition of one
pound cottonseed meal to silage ra-
ton has proved more profitable than
silage alone, making total gains of 10
pounds per head.

R0UGHAGES OF FARM
TURNED INTO MONEY
One of Chief Advantages in Keep
ing Live Stock Is Utilization
of Cheap Feeds.

(By c. A. WILSON. Kentucky Expert
ment Station.)
The chief advantage that would re-
suit from the keeping of live stock on
the majority of farms is that to a
large extent the returns would be ad-
ditional to those realized when live
stock was not kept. These returns
would be additional because live stock
would turn the roughages of the farm,
that are now going to waste, into
money. More than one-half the fod-
der in this state goes to waste every
year. For every head of cattle In the
state there are produced three acres
of corn, which will average one ton
of stover per acre. One and one-half
tons of stover Is more than is needed
to winter one head of cattle. There is
going to waste, then, every year In
this state, 100000 tons of corn stover,
which at n valuation of IS per ton
means loss to the farmers of the
state, through lack of proper utili-
zation of feeds by cattle, of over $685.

RUSTY STRAW GOOD
FOR FARM ANIMALS
On General Principles 1t Is Not
Considered Advisable to
Feed 1t tc Females.

(By NJ. H. REYNOLDS. Division of Vet
erinary Science, University Farm, st.
Paul)
Is rusty straw safe or desirable
stock food? The general teaching for
many years has been that bllghts,
rusts, smuts, etc, are all harmful and
likely to produce abort.ons and other
troubles. Actual experience and some
research work, however, show that
this statement is far too general.
There can be no question concern
ing the undesirability of moldy hay,
straw, grain, or ensilage, on account
of the well-known forage poisoning of
horses and cattle, but quantities of
corn smut have been fed in expert
mental work, without evident harm,
though this does not prove that under
other circumstances smut may not be
Injurious. Stock seems sometimes ac-
tually to prefer straw in the black
rust stage and eat 1t readily, yet the
same stock may appear to dislike
straw in the red-rust stage, possibly
because more dusty.
We think that the farmer would be
4 quite justified in the cautious feeding
{ of rusty straw. On general principles
and In view of some uncertainty, 1t
would be better not to use rusty straw
for female heavy with young. though
even in such case it might do no
harm. There is little positive informa-
ton available. The writer would
greatly appreciate reports of actual
experience.

PRINCIPAL AIM IN WINTERING STockERs
CBy c. /. BRAY. Colorado Agricultural
Cnllera Fort Collins Coin

By C. l. BRAY, Colorado Agricultural
College. Fort Collins. Colo)
The principal object in wintering
cattle is to bring them through the
the winter in such condition that they
will make the best returns the next
season. In days of unlimited range
and cheap beef, what would now be
considered high death loss was TAX
en- as matter of course. With
high beef prices. limited range, and
with feedstuffs more readily available
in case of need. it is not considered
economical to let stock cattle lose
flesh in wintering. They will be in
better shape to take advantage of the
next seasons grass If they gain lit
tie through the winter. 1t is not ad
visable, on the other hand, to let stock
cattle fatten much, unless they are to
be fed out for market before June, as
they are likely to lose this fat on
early spring grass, and will not make
such profitable gains through the fol-
lowing summer.

FARM LOAN ACT.
III. AmortIxatIon-How Loans
Under the Farm Loan Act
Are Designed to BE
Helpful to the Bor-
rover.


1t hns always been recognized that
the most effective aid one can get Is
that which enables him to help him
self.
Some critics of the federal firm loan
act have charged that this act makes
1t too easy for farmers to get into
debt. and that there will be a tendency
to overborrow.
A careful reading of the bill will
show that this objection is met by very
carefully limiting the use to which the
borrowed money may be put and by
the requirement that farmers gradual
ly each year must reduce their In
debtedness.
The farm loan act was designed to
be helpful to the farmer of average
operations who has heretofore been
denied adequate credit. 1t wisely lin
its the loans to 80 per cent of the
appraised, value of the security, be-
cause this limitation makes the se-
curity Of high character, thus salts
flying the investor. and therefore re-
suits in lower rate of interest.
The use of the money is carefully
limited to the purchase of land, to pay
Off existing Indebtedness, to purchase
live stock, or to make any productive
Improvement such as fencing, drain
age, buildings and machinery.
Is Really an Investment.
When money can be borrowed cheap
ly for productive use, n mortgage be-
comes an investment rather than a
handicap. The farmer is enabled to
get money to put his land to better
use, SO that the profits of his invest
ment will pay Off his Indebtedness.
Hereafter judlcious borrowing on the
part of the farmer will be regarded
as business enterprise. just as 1t is
now considered beneficial for large
commercial institutions to borrow.
The farm loan act creates form of
Indebtedness which peculiarly fits the
farmers needs. 1t recognizes that the
farming business Is one of slow re-
turns.
So, 1t provides that mortgage made
under the act be paid on the amortiza-
tion or installation plan through long
or short period of years. The mort
cages may be made to run from five
to forty years, at the option of the bor-
rover, and they must be paid off, in
terest and principal, in equal INSTALL
ments through the period of the loans.
Permission Is given to pay all of the
loan or any part Of 1t on any interest
paying date after 1t has run five years.

ing that it works a hardship on the
man who has a team of horses or a
cow to sell which merely goes from
one farm to another, but still across
a county line. Everybody thought it
a good idea to inspect all stock go
