The best gains ever secured at the
South Dakota experiment station In
feeding lambs was in an experiment
to determine the comparative value of
alfalfa and prairie hay with the same
kind of a grain ration. The grain ra-
ton consisted OF a mixture of 100
pounds Of oats, 100 pounds Of sheIIed
corn and % pounds Of oiImeal.
Each lot was started on one pound
per head of the mixture daily, and in
creased until they were receiving two
and two-tenths pounds per head of
grain daily, and what hay they would
eat.
The average daily gain per head for
the lot that received the alfalfa hay
was 81 OF pound, while with the lot
that received the prairie hay, the ay-
erage daily gain per head was 50 OF
a pound. These lambs were as near
the same in age and weight as was
possible to get them

with the present unlimited de-
mand for meat products, the raising
of baby beef, even upon Wfsconsin's
high priced land, offers opportunity
for profitable and congeniaI employ
ment," says John L. Tormey, secre-
tary of the Wisconsin Shorthorn Breed
ers' association.
According to Mr.. Tormey, Wiscon-
sin, on account of its nearness to mar
ket, its good climate, It's abundance of
forage grain and good water, offers
excellent opportunities of the baby
beef producer.
''When raising baby beef, it is nee
essary," declares Mr.. Tormey, ito have
cattle of good beef type, and the pure
bred sire route is the only one which
safely can be taken. By feeding the
youngsters well from calfhood, they
will be ready to market at a year and
a half, and will carry more meat with
less care and feed, than raw western
feeders would require to produce the

TO FEET
OF GROWING COLTS
Little Care VIII Prevent Develop
nent of Crooked Ankles and
Unbalanced Action.

(By w. L BLIZZARD, Department of
Animal Husbandry, Oklahoma A and
NJ College, Stiilwater.)
1t is well to see that the colts feet
are level and the toes comparatively
short. A little attention will prevent
the development of crooked ankles and
unbalanced action later on. The bony
structure is pliable then, so that much
can be done to remedy faulty action,
which will be impossible after the
bones have hardened and stopped
growing.
1t is absolutely necessary and very
profitable to properly care for the feet
of growing colts. If left to nature,
the foot does not always grow out full
and strong and Of the proper shape.
When the feet are left go, they do not
wear properly, the result is that the
feet split, become uneven and very
often the entire leg may be altered in
form. This is one of the reasons for
so many bad-footed horses upon the
streets of any city. The blacksmith
may get the blame, but most of the
trouble really began upon the farm.
20 grow feet in the proper way, the
colts feet should be looked after at
least once q month.

SCIENCE IN RAISING POULTRY
important Problem Is to Ascertain
Ho" Many Eggs Each Hen Lays
Hens Make Best Mothers

The time has come when more at
tention must be given TO high produc-
ton in the farm flock. 1t is not enough
that the poultry fanciers breed up
their layers and attempt to increase
the strain. Farmers should breed I'D
their own focks.
We should know what the hens pro-
duce and let their stay on the farm
depend upon what they pay. This is
the only business way TO look at poul-
try raising.
Trap nesting is the fancier's way. 1t
is good way, but other ways may be
devised to keep records of the hens.
The important problem is to find out
how many eggs each hen lays and
when she lays them
Summer layers are not near as i'm
portant as early spring and winter
layers, for winter eggs always bring
better prices. so do early spring eggs.
1t follows from this that a hen that
lays In winter, though she produces
fewer eggs, may be more profitable
than summer layer.
But authorities tell us not to keep
hens till they are very old. They say
the second season is generally the best
for laying hen. But there is need of
more records on this subject. Anyway,
hens make better mothers when old
than when pullets.

ent, the only dependable way to de-
termine when a eve is in heat is to
turn the ram with the flock. In ham
ding purebred flock, it is not neces-
sary to keep an exact record Of the
dates of breeding. In fact, many
lambs are registered as being born in
the spring of certain year. Some
times the month is stated, but COM
paratiyely few breeders go to the trou-
BILE OF giving the exact date.
For reasons aside from the require
ments for registering in the various
flock associations, it is well for the
owner to have a memorandum OF about
the time the ewes are due to lamb.
Such 8 memorandum is a great help
TO the shepherd In saving the lamb
crop. 1t can be obtained by smearing
paint between the fore-legs Of the ram

the year, but at narrowing time a WELL
planned and well-built permanent
structure is needed.
Personally, I prefer a house with
the semimOnitor type of roof and one
of sufficient width for two rows of
pens with feed alley between them.
The length will depend upon the num-
Der of sOws that are to be housed in
it. The pitch of the roof should be
such that the suns rays will fall upon
the north row of pens during the mid
die of the day. Of course this type
of house should always face the south.
In building of this sort it is much
easier to care for the sows than it is
when small individual houses are used.
Especially is this true at the farrow-
ing time as one man can properly look
after much larger number of Sows
than when they are scattered about IN
a number of different small houses.

as it used to be, however, for breeders
are coming more and more to consider
the actual value of an animal.
Inferior animals were formerly sold
for much more than their real worth
because they were imported. Such a
condition still exists to a limited ex-
tent, but at present animals are not
bought because OF the place of their
birth but because of their breeding and
individual merit.
Don't Depend on Importation.
As long as the demand for imported
animals was greater than the supply
many fraudulent pedigrees were used
for animals brought into this country.
This trouble with importations was
greatest previous to 1910. Inspection

some breeds, begun about this time,
has reduced this evil greatly.
IF the practice of using imported
animals is followed too closely stock

breeders for their breeding stock"
said Professor Wentworth. zone re-
suit in this country has been to scatter
the individuals of a breed so that in
horses, particularly, few constructive
breeding establishments have been
formed. The best animals are often
taken to districts where no purebred
animals are available to mate to them.
This is disadvantage from the stand
