MORE IMPROVED LIVE STOCK
High Prices Make II Profitable for
Farmer to Produce His Own Ami
mails for Feeding.

The recent rapid rise In the price
paid for all kinds Of live stock Is max
ing 1t more and more profitable for
the average farmer to produce his own
young stock for feeding rather than
to buy the high-priced product of the
plains for this purpose. Conditions in
America today are more nearly like
those prevailing In European countries
in regard to live stock than they have
ever been for an extended period in
the history of our country.
II the present conditions remain as
they are for few more years there
will be noticed q rapid Improvement
Of the farm herds and fiocks. Former
" the range was large enough to crowd
out the competition Of the cornbelt
meat producer. Then the range began
to produce only feeders and today the
cornbelt farmer Is rapidly taking over
this phase of the cattle business as the
range is becoming smaller and smaller
and is more and more unable to supply
the demand for beef.

in certain sections Of Arizona and other
Western states. In these regions a
few persons are engaged in raising
a thousand or more turkeys a season.
The establishments are located where
the range is unlimited and the natural
food of the turkey, such as grasshop-
pers and other insects, green vegeta-
ton, and the seeds Of various weeds
and grasses, Is abundant. Advantage
also is taken on these ranches of the
turkeys relish for acorns, and where
these are plentiful but little grain need
be used for fattening in the fall.
The large flocks of turkeys are man
aged much like herds Of sheep, being
taken out to the range early in the
morning, and brought home to roost
at night. They are herded during the
day by men either on foot or on horse
back, and by dogs especially trained
for the work.

BOTHER WITH EARLY CHICKS
Are Most Common compIaints-
Two Ordinary Causes.

Many have had trouble with their
early chicks. Leg weakness and bowel
trouble are the most common COM
plants. The general causes for these
troubles are overfeeding and too close
confinement and the two usually go
together. That which would be re-
garded as overfeeding in small runs
would not be overfeeding where
the chicks were out on the ground
and permitted to run at will. Chicks
confined to basement or in build
ings continually, should have moist
earth to scratch in and even
then, should not be long confined to
snch runs.
The cold will not hurt them If they
can return to the warm hover at will,
and they will very soon learn where to
find 1t.

the front legs resulting from their
striking the ground are considerably
relieved by sloping shoulders, while
straight shoulders, by not having this
effect, tend to promote early unsound-
ness of these limbs.
Strong constitution, endurance, good
front action, and style are associated
with deep, well-sloped shoulders. For
draft purposes the shoulders should
have pronounced offsets, SO that the
face of the collar will have plenty of
bearing surface. The position of the
collar on shoulders which are deep
enough is not materially changed. The
heavier the pull the tighter the collar.
On shallow shoulders collar is
squeezed back with the result that the
skin and muscles beneath the collar
are often sore. Sharp, thin, prominent
withers add depth and wearing quail
ties to the shoulder. Shoulders that

PROPER RATIoNs FOR LAMBS
Mixture Of Corn, Oats, Linseed OIL

for Young Animals.

(Ohio College of Agriculture Bulletin)
A good grain ration for lambs just
beginning to eat Is ground corn, one
part; crushed oats, one part; linseed
oil meal, one part; and wheat bran,
two parts. Wheat bran is very es-
sential in this ration, and the shep-
herd should always see that it is pres
ent. A grain ration consisting Of two
pounds Of wheat bran, one pound of
oats (crushed oats being preferred),
one pound Of finely ground .orn meal,
and one-half pound of Oil meal has
proved to be an excellent grain ration
for young lambs. 1t has also been
found that grain mixture Of oil meal
and corn meal has given better re-
suits than a mixture Of cottonseed
