FEEDING KITCHEN
WASTE NECESSARY
Proper Selection and Prepare
ton Great Aid in Rails
ing of Poultry.

When kitchen and table waste is
10 be fed TO poultry it should be
selected and prepared with a view
TO getting its full food value and at
the same time making it entirely ac-
ceptable 10 the birds.
Not all of the refuge and scraps
from the kitchen are suitable for
poultry food Some things, as vege-
table Feelings. may be used when
they constitute only a small part Of
the scraps, but when they are in ex-
cessive quantities it is better to dis
pose Of them separately. The same
is true Of coffee grounds and tea
leaves.
Cut Up Fat Meat.
Fat meat in large pieces should
not be put with scraps for poultry
because a hen can swallow much
larger piece of fat than is good for
her BY cutting waste fat meat in
pieces no larger than one would cut
for himself at the table. and by MAX
ing sure that the fat does not ex-
coed 10 percent of the scraps fed at
one time. the dangers in feeding fat
are avoided
The best way TO save kitchen
waste for poultry is TO keep a one
gallon jar. Of glazed or galvanized
ware, with cover i'm a convenient
place. putting into this scraps Of
bread, cake. and meat from the
table, remnants Of serving of vege-
tables. cereals, pies, buildings, etc.
and whatever waste from the prep
aration Of meals is suitable TO COM
bine with these things in a mash
Mix i'm Ground Feed.
Once a day the contents of the
jar should be turned into pail of
appropriate size and as much
ground feedstun mixed with them
as can be stirred in with a strong
iron spoon or a wooden stirring
stick. The amount and kinds of
ground feeds to be used will depend
upon the quantity of water with the
scraps and whether any particular
article predOminates.
For thickening a mixture Of scraps
OF ordinary variety a mixed meal of
equal parts by weight of cornmeal,
bran, and middlings is good. If
there is an unusual proportion Of
very rich food i'm the scraps, it may
be desirable to use bran alone for
thickening. The more meal that
can be stirred i'm and still have all
the meal moist the better. Mixing
can be done much more easily and
thoroughly by mixing i'm a pail hav-
ing a capacity about three times the
amount of the scraps mixed at one
time.
If the mash with scraps makes
more than one meal for the flock,
the pail should be kept covered .un-
til the next feeding. As a rule it is
not advisable to feed such a mash
oftener than twice a day, bat if mix
ed quite dry it may he fed three
times. The occasion for this will
exist only where scraps are SO
abundant that when thickened with
meal they may be made the eXclu-
sive diet. This is not as good a ra-
! ton as one containing some hard
grain, but it may be used as long
time without any bad results.

= LIME SHOULD BE ORDERED.

q =
Orders should be placed at this
time by farmers who intend 10 use
lime on their land in order 10 in
crease next seasons crop. If orders
are placed at the present time the
manufacturers will be able, they
say, to supply the agricultural needs.
BY being given orders now they will
have six or eight months in which
to prepare the necessary supply,
whereas they will be swamped if
the orders all come next spring.
Lime applied in the fall or winter
is as effective as when applied in the
spring. Fall and winter applica-
ton of lime is urged as good farm
practice and also as an emergency
war measure. BY following this
suggestion farmers will be improv-
ing their land so as to turn out the
largest crop yield.

MAY REDUCE COST
OF KEEPING STOCK
How Farmers of Corn Belt
Can Save on Feed Dur
ing Winter.

Feed more cheap roughage, feed
cut slower IN place OF unhusked corn
fodder, feed silage in localities where
the silo proves economical, reduce
the quantity of corn wherever pos
sible-this is advice to corn-belt
beef cattle raisers by the United
States department of agriculture,
which has completed a study of win
ter feeding of beef cows in the corn
belt.
Use Farm By-products.
Cheap. feeds are recommended in
a department bulletin, which says
that with the prices prevailing in re-
cent years the breeding herds must
be made TO utilize the farm by-pro-
ducts and convert them into beef and
manure while the more valuable
products are sold or are fed for fat
tening animals
IL is strongly recommended that
farmers who raise feeder cattle take
more pains to find out the needs of
their animals and iced them &C
cordingly.
The bulletin authors point out that
il is even possible, in many cases, TO
use by-products TO such an extent
that a ration containing no corn,
either as grain or in fodder or silage,
can be fed without detriment TO the
cows or their offspring.
Feeding Of silage is held 10 be usu-
ally more economical than the feed
ing of corn fodder where there are
enough animals TO Justify building
silo and where large amounts of
cheap, rough feeds are not available.
A much larger proportion of the
slower can be used. and cattle usu-
ally do better on silage than on a
dry winter ration.
Shows How To Cut Cost.
To show possibilities in cutting
down feed bills the bulletin tells of
farm in east central Iowa where
reduction of the corn ration would
have cut down nearly one-half the
cost of wintering a herd.
on this farm, for a breeding herd
consisting of a grade bull and %
grade cows, rations were provided

Mixed hay, "a ton, at $40 a ton.
Corn, , bushels, at 60 cents a bu-
shell.
The cows, considering the corn in
the fodder ! the additional grain
fed received 1 total of % bushels a
head-almOst a fattening ration. II
the corn had been husked from the
| fodder and only the stover fed,
there would have been sufficient
roughage for the cows, the bulletins
point out. Estimating that three
fourths Of a ton of slower was eat
en- per acre of stalks, and that the
stover from the fodder fed would
go two tons TO the acre, and allow
ing each Of the cows three bushels
of corn during the winter instead OF
-. they would receive the following
daily ration. which the bulletin says
would be sufficient for their needs:

BY merely eliminating the excess
sive amount of corn G9 bushels)
from the ration, a saving Of S11.4O
could have been made, or from $24
to 1850 per COW.
Department bulletin No. els,
which deals at length with the sub
| ject. suggests that farmers not fam
| liar with methods of working out
rations write their problems TO their
state experiment stations. or to the
United States department OF agri-
! culture.

CHOLERA CONTROL
WELL UNDER WAY
Organization of Hog RaiSerS,
Sanitary Precautions and
Serum Reduce Losses.

Although hog cholera can not be
completely eradicated from the
United States under present condi-
tons. losses from the disease can be
materially reduced by education and
organization Of hog raisers In the
application of proper sanitary
measures and the proper treatment
OF hogs with anti-hog cholera ser
um. This has been shown by the
results obtained By the bureau OF
animal industry in experimental
work in hog cholera control carried
on in a number OF counties during
the past four years. The work and
its results are described in bulletin
5S4, The Control Of Hog Cholera, ."
recently published by the depart
ment of agriculture.
Hog Raising Thrives Under Control.
one Of the important results. ac-
cording to the bulletin, is the fact
that the work while effective in re-
ducing the disease. was not repres-
sive while in progress on the hog
raising industry. On the contrary
the industry thrived in the expert
mental counties 10 a greater degree
than in adjacent counties in which
no control work was under way.
Actual statistics were taken in the
experimental counties and careful
estimates were made in the ada
cent counties. These show that in
one group of three counties where
the control work has been under
way four years the percentage of
loss from hog cholera has remained
constantly from one-fourth TO two
ffths the percentage of loss in the
Is surrounding counties. In an
other group of experimental cOun-
ties the average percentage of loss
as compared with that in IS sur
rounding counties was reduced from
approximately nine-tenths in 1913
10 less than One-third in 1914 and TO
about One-sixteenth in 1915.
Community Needs i'm Combating
Cholera.
Specialists who have supervised
the control work OF the department
reach the conclusion that while the
eradication of hog cholera can not
be expected for a considerable time.
the material reduction by the use of
serum of the enormous losses which
annually are caused by the disease
is entirely practicable. The essen
tails for success in combating the
disease, they point out, are interest
on the part Of hog raisers and
knowledge of the disease; organiza-
ton which will facilitate exchange of
70
cure assistance; serum at reason
able prices and easy of access; and
the available service in the COM
munity Of persons skilled in admin
istering serum.

STOCK-RALSING
POTASH FROM CEMENT DUST.
Valuable FertiliZing Material
Can be Produced From Ce-
mcnt Plants of the
Country.

That between 71,OO0 and $4,000
tons Of available recoverable potash.
about one-third Of the quantity nor
mally consumed in the United States
exists in the dust passing through
or retained in the fiues of the ce-
ment manufacturing plants Of the
country is indicated by analyses
made by the bureau Of soils Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture, according TO recent publica-
ton. department bulletin 572. BY
increasing the percentage of potash
volatilized, by the addition of sub
stances which will not affect the
quality of the cement, the recover
able potash in fiue dust can be in
creased TO more than 100000 tons
annually, or nearly one-half Of the
normal consumption of potash in the
United States, according TO the bull
letin.
Potash From F1ue Dust.
Numerous plants have installed
electrical precipitation equipment TO
recover the fiue dust, and are find
ing the installations good invest
ments, the bulletin declares. Some
plants are recovering 90 percent of
the potash present in the raw mate
rial fed into the furnaces.
The rust recovered i'm the fue
stacks, connecting kilns, and pre-
cipitation apparatus is about 4.5
percent potash. while that recovered
from the precipitation apparatus it
self is about II percent potash. The
dust may be used as a source of ce-
ment material. may be disposed of
as collected for use as a fertilizer
or in fertilizer manufacturing. or
may be leached 10 prepare concen-
trated potash salts.
