possible use should be made OF such
roughageS as corn 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

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

A boar should not be used very
much on sows until he is one year old,
nor for heavy service until two years
old. IL 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 q day or so before using
him again. One service to a SOW is
all that is necessary. With such a
treatment a mature boar should be
able to handle so or 60 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.

PRINCIPAL AIM in WINTERING sTOcKERs
Ry C. I. BRAY. Colorado Agriculture.
College, Fort Collins, Colo.)

(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 a 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 adj
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.

LAYING HEN NEEDS PROTEIN

scrap has produced increased egg
yields and more than paid for itself,

fed soy beans laid only few more
eggs than those given no feed high in

What Is Uric oActd?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Ex-
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble is only a
matter of toning up the kidneys, and this
is best done by a treatment with Anuric,
three times day. Anuric is recent
discovery of DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y. J,
and can be obtained at any drug store.
Experience taught Doctor Pierce that
Anuric is a more powerful agent than
lithia in dissolving uric acid, and it is
then carried out of the system.

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

By M H REYNOLDS Division of Vet
Urinary Science, University Farm, ST.
Paul)
Is rusty straw safe or desirable
stock food? The general teaching for
many years has been that blights,
rusts, smuts, ETC., are all harmful and
likely to produce abortions 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 it readily, yet the
same stock may appear to dislike
straw in the red-rust stage, possibly
