Successful feeding must be efficient
and economical. ALI feed should be
palatable, succulent and substantial.
No single feed excels pasture, no COM
binatiOn of feeds can excel legume hay,
concentrates and corn silage. So far
as practicable, the feeds should be
grown on the farm. Cows must be
good producers to feed. With good
dairy cows liberal feeding always pays.
SuccuIent Feeds.
To keep COWS in full production Sue
culent feed is essential. There are
two sources of succulent feeds; 81
lage and roots. Corn silage is usually
the cheapest feed. The quality to feed
usually varies from 25 to SO pounds,
according to production. For small
herds, however, it may not be prac-
ticable to build silos, and in such cases
mangelwurzels or some other root crop
may take the place of silage. Linseed
meal is laxative and is especially val
liable as a part Of the grain mixture
when no succulent feed is available.
The farmers should make special pro-

M|LLET FOR STOCK
As Roughage 1t Is Regarded as
Somewhat More Effective
Than Prairie Hay.
VALUABLE AS A CATCH CROP
Plant Is Adapted to Wide Range Of
Soils and CIimates-Not to BE Re-
garded as Profitable In Crop
Rotations.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
FOXtail millet, which makes up ap-
prOximately nine-tenths of all the mil
let grown in the United States, is de-
clared by specialists in the United
States department of agriculture to be
valuable chiefly as catch crop. Most
farmers use it to overcome a shortage
in their hay supply or to occupy a field
which would otherwise be idle. For
such purposes millet is admirably
adapted because it natures quickly
and a stand is obtained with ease and
certainty.
Furthermore, the plant is adapted to
q wide range of soils and climates. AL
though large yields are not obtained
under unfavorable circumstances, mil
let does better on poor soil and in a
dry climate than most other hay crops.
In semi-arid regions it frequently es-
capes periods of drought because of
It's short growing season. On the other
hand, it is quick to show the effect of
dry weather because Of it's shallow
root system. Compared with Sudan
grass, it's chief competitor, millet is de-
f1cient both in quality and yield Of hay,
but the growing season Of the Sudan

ANIMALS
CORRECT RATIoNs FOR PIGS
animals on Pasture Will Gain Rapidly
u Given Additional Allowances
OF Grain Feed.

Pigs, granted on pasture. will gain
pound or more q day from weaving
to a weight of 200 to $50 pounds, while
these getting little or no Rrain=@will
gain but one-half to three-auarters of
pound per day. This will bring
spring pigs to q marketable weight in
early fall, at the period of high prices,
whereas those being pastured only are
not ready for market until a month or
two later. A grain ration, by bring
ing the hogs to an earlier market, re-
duces the time of feeding, the risk, and
the interest on the investment. The
animals are in higher condition, with
q finer and more palatable meat and
fat.
Farmers substituting pasture entire
ly for grain and other concentrated
feeds to their market hogs through the
summer will find that before market
ing in the fall it will be advisable to
feed grain to harden the soft fat and
meat and put on additional weight.
Light but steady grain feeding on
pasture, however. gives better results
than heavier feeding during a short
er finishing period.

GOOD RAM ALWAYS CHEAPEST
Scrub Animal Is Particularly Expen-
stVe at Present High Prices Of
Wool and Lambs.

A scrub ram is expensive at any time
but doubly so at the present high price
Of wool and lambs. A good ram has
many times proved to be more than
half the flock" Many successful and
progressive sheep breeders trace their
start on the road to success to the pur-
chase of q good ram. Sometimes the
price of the ram has looked high, but
time proved it to be the cheapest and
by far the best investment ever made.
At the University of Missouri college
of agriculture good mutton ram, such
as any farmer could purchase at $50
to $40 this season, bred to western
(COlOradO) ewes, sired lambs that av-
eraged two and half pounds more at
three months of age, when they were
marketed, than lambs, out of the same
class of ewes, which were sired by an
inferior or scrub ram. Furthermore
lambs sired by the superior ram sold
for 60 per cent more per 100 pounds
than by the inferior ram.

No other Leguminous Crop, with Ex-

With the exception of alfalfa on

fall as sweet clover, when it is prop
erly handled. Live stock thrive on It.

FLOWING TO KILL BILLBUGS
In LoWIands Of Southern Sections
Corn Is Liable to Injury by
These Insects.

From the United States Department of
Agricultural
Corn planted in river and creek bot
toms or other low places, especially In
southern parts of the country, is liable
to injury by billbugs, snout beetles, or
Elephant bugs" as they are variously
termed. These hard-shell beetles live
normally in sedges, rushes or the large
wild grasses that grow in moist, low
ground, from which they may invade
cornfields. Damage is done to corn by
the grubs or young of the beetles
which live inside the stems or roots OF
the plants and eat out the central
norton of the stalk, causing stunning
and serious injury The adult beetles
also injure the crop by puncturing the
growing point or "bud" Of plant.
Land infested with billbngs should
always be plowed in late summer or
oorlv fall. Thin measure, entOmol-
oofsts in the United States department
of agriculture say, destroys the winter

PROVIDING cows WITH SALT
one OF Things Easily Forgotten While
Animals Are on Pasture In
Summer Months.

One of the things so easily forgotten
10 the summer months while the cows

grass is somewhat longer, and this
provides greater opportunity in the lat
ter for injury from drought.
Feeding Value Of Hay.
In it's feeding value the hay of fox
tail millet has been found to be ap-
prOximately the same as timothy hay.
AS roughage for growing stock, it is
usually regarded as somewhat more
effective than prairie hay but not the
equal of alfalfa or clover hay. It can
be fed without danger to cattle and
sheep, and sparingly and in connection
with other kinds of hay to horses. A
continuous ration of millet hay, how
ever, has resulted in injury to horses.
This fact, says a new publication of
the department of agriculture, Farm
ers' Bulletin 793, has been denied, but
it is scarcely open to doubt.
Millet Is not to be regarded as a
profitable constituent of regular crop
rotations. It has been considered ex-
haustive of soil fertility, possibly be-
cause it gathers it's food and moisture
from the upper levels of the soil. Also,
very small quantity of vegetable
matter is left after a crop of millet has
been harvested for hay, and therefore
there is little humus added to the soil
when the stubble is plowed under. Ex-
perience, in fact, has shown that it
is quite likely that a crop following
millet will not do so we'll as one fol-
lowing small grain or corn.
Used for Human Food.
In Asia, the original home of foxtail
millet, the plant is used to a certain
extent as human food. 1t is quite I'M
likely, however, says the bulletin al
ready mentioned, that there will be
any great demand for it in this coun-
try as long as wheat can be produced
as abundantly as at present. Prose-,
or broOmcOrn millet, has been used to
some extent as a grain crop in the
Dakotas, but 1t is less valuable than
corn for feeding hogs and beef cattle,
and as a flesh producer does not equal
barley.

vision to have the above feeds on
hand for the coming winter when sue
culent feeds are not easily available.
Dry Roughage.
Legumes make the best hay for
dairy cows. Alfalfa, clover, soy beans,
velvet beans and cOwpea hay are the
cheapest sources of protein, and when
possible, should form part Of every
ration. Other roughages, such as tim
othy, millet and corn stOver, require
more protein in the grain mixture.
Grain.
Farmers Bulletin Number 743"
gives a very good rule to determine
how much grain should be fed:
"a grain mixture should be fed in
the proportion Of one pound to each
three pints or pounds Of milk pro
duced daily by the COW, except in the
case of a COW producing flow of 40
pounds or more, when the ration can
be one pound to each three and half
or four pounds Of milk. An even bet
ter rule is one pound of grain each day
for every pound of butterfat produced
during the week by the cow"

Similating feed as indicated by the
following points: Great length from
withers to hip bone; full crop; well
sprung ribs that are broad, deep and
wide apart.
When judging the capacity Of a
COW, it is important to notice the eff
hciency of her digestive organs by
studying her handling qualities. See
whether her hide is soft, loose, pill
able of medium thickness, and covered
With soft, silky coat of hair, which
indicates that the organs of digestion
are In perfect working order.
