A great deal Of feed available for
cattle is now either wasted absolutely
or put to some less profitable use.
Failure to utilize the full value Of this
material has increased unnecessarily
the cost OF producing meat, has d.
unfinished the profits from cattle feed
ing and has discouraged many farm
ers from engaging in an industry es-
sential to their permanent prosperity.
According to reports OF experts,
who have made extensive experiments
along this line, the loss in grain straw
and corn slower amounts to more than
$100,0O0,0O0 annually. Both Of these
products are disposed Of most econ
omically when fed to cattle In con
nectiOn with some form Of con-
centrated feed. Straw is especially
valuable in carrying the breeding
herd through the winter, In wintering
stockers, and as a supplementary
roughage for fattening cattle. StO-
yer, too, is an excellent feed for win
tering cattle, especially mature breed
ing cows. Nevertheless, in many sec
lions Of the country where these prod
ucts are abundant, little attempt is
made to take advantage Of their value
for these purposes.
Burning 10 Waste.
OF an annual straw crop of APP
proxlmately 12O,OOO,OOO tons, 1t Is es-
timated that only two-thirds is put
to Its best use--live stock production.

one-half is sold or turned under and

Of on, their horses would now be much
more popular here than they are. The
breeders Of Shires have simply con-
tinued to breed the kind Of horse
they liked instead Of breeding what
the other fellow preferred as the
French have done. When the Amer
lean market demanded gray Per-
cheron the Frenchman supplied it.
When it demanded a black PercherOn
he furnished that color. But the i'm
mutable Engllshman has furnished

GRAIN FOR LITTLE PORKERs
Placed In a Creep Away From Mother
Makes Weaving Easy-Best Time
for castration.

IF the young pigs have been taught
to look for a little grain in a creep
away from their mother, weaving will
be easy. With sweet skim milk as the
basis Of their ration at this time their
growth need not be interrupted at all.
While still on the SOW, and prefer
ably couple of weeks before wean-
ing, is the easiest time to castrate the
young bears. Cleanliness and not too
awkward handling In the operation are
all that are necessary at this time.
If the pigs are older when castrated
more skill is required and TIE shock is
much greater on the pig.

:nfOrcing Child Labor Law,

Enforcing Child Labor Law.
State factory inspectors are being
greatly aided by county superintend-
ents of schools through the state in
enforcing the child labor law and also
are receiving cooperation from the
manufacturers and other employers.
Inspector Theodore N. Hoepfner has
announced that the greatest obstacle
in enforcing the law is due to the ig-
norance of the children and their par.
ents as to the proper course to pursue
in establishing the right of the child
to work and, in some cases, ignorance
on the part of the employers.
Inspector Hoepfner states that 1t is
solely the duty Of the county superin.
tendent or their authorized represen-
tatives to issue working permits or to
receive proof of the ages of children.
He asks the cooperation of employers
of his district in observing the law and
demanding working certificates of all
children Of questionable age when they
seek employment, to conform with the
eight-hour day in the employment Of
such minors, so that Tennessee may be
found in line with the federal require
ment when first Investigations are
made by federal inspectors,

don't like their hairy legs. If English

PRODUCING PIGS FOR BACON
Best Cross ls One Between Purebred
Boars and Sows Of Same Breed
Crossing Is Risky.

The best cross to produce pigs fol
bacon is one between purebred iboars
and sows Of the same breed. To speak
plainly, crossing of breeds Is rather
risky except in the hands Of one who
thoroughly understands breeding, and
such men do not practice 1t to any
extent.

Ample Funds Appropriated To Eulid
Model Troop Quarters.

Nashville. Recently Dr. r. @ Lii
lard, secretary and executive officer
Of the state board OF health attended
conference of physicians and sur
geons at Chattanooga for survey OF
the health conditions Of that city and
Hamilton county with a view to keep
ing the health conditions as they may
relate to the camps and environments
at Chickamauga and Fort Oglethorpe
absolutely wholesome.
The conference resulted in the gov
eminent joining forces with the state
authorities in this important work. The
government has placed four inspectors
in that territory, Chattanooga and
Hamilton county two, the state board
of health one, the state department Of
food and drugs one, and the Red Cross
two.
Following the conference DR.. Olin
West. who has charge of the rural san.
itation department of the state board
OF, health, went to Chattanooga at the
instance Of Or. Lillard to confer with
the members Of the United States pub
lie health service, the health officials
of Chattanooga and Hamilton county
and the officers Of the United States
army at Fort Oglethorpe.
In his report to Dr. Lillard, DR.. West
gives in detail the results of the con-
ferences held. He states that-the Ham
ilton county board Of health immedl-
ately following the conferences apprc-
priated $4,000 to be used under the d.
rection Of the officer of the United
States health service, who will be ap-
pointed to direct the sanitary cam
paign. The commissioner OF health rep
resented by Maj. L. L. Lunsden, also
included in its budget $4,000 to be used
in the creation of sanitary zone
to make safe the citizens of Chattanoo-
ga and the, soldiers.
The sanitary work will be entered
upon at once under the general direc-
ton of DR.. G. Knight, United States
public health service. DR. Knight will
have the assistance of a number Of In
spectors, federal and state, and in adj
dition the Red Cross viii supply a
force of sanitary workers, laboratory
man and nurses. Chattanooga will be
well taken care Of under the system
of inspection adopted. The $4,000 ap-
propriated by Hamilton county will
be used in the employment of laborers
and for other necessary expenses in
the territory embraced in the county.

VI lat OAAAS GA R~A ~NAN -
the acreage was put in the sllo two
years ago, the year in which these in.
vestigations we're made. About II per
cent was cut for green feed and 81
per cent allowed to mature for grain.
1t is In the last portion Of the acreage
that the greatest waste occurs. Strip
ping the leaves from the stalks which
are subsequently burned, removing the
stalks above the top ear only, leaving
the stalks to stand In the field until
the loss Of leaves and teaching have
removed much Of the fertilizin@
value, are all unthrifty methods. Fur
thermore, almost four per cent Of the
slower is burned, as though, instead
Of being a potential source Of revenue,
1t was merely nuisance to be gotten
rid of as a preliminary to blowing.
In some states the percentage Of sto-
yer that is thus thrown away is as
high as Z or s per cent and the total
loss to the country from the practice
is estimated at nearly $15.0O0,0OO q
year.
Results From Roughage.
TO obtain satisfactory results from
the feeding Of fasm roughages such
as straw and slower, they must be
combined with some form Of cOncen-
.trated feed. At the present time large
quantities of such feed In the form OF
cottonseed meal and cake, corn, mo
lasses, peanuts and beans are export
ed for the use of European feeders. II
the straw and slower that are now
wasted were employed to feed more
cattle, these concentrates could be
consumed at home. The result would
be tremendous saving not only In
the cost of producing beef, but In the
cost of enriching the soil as well. In
1914, for example, about 100000
tons of cOttonseed meal-half the
total productlon--were applied direct
ly to the soiE as fertilizer. If this
had been fed to cattle instead, three
quarters Of the fertilizing value
would have been returned to the soil
as manure. The loss of the other
fourth would have been far more
than counterbalaneed by the profit on
the meat produced economically by
the meal and the necessary roughages.
Much the same thing Is true Of the
other oil meals.
Value Of Meals.
The value Of these meals Is far
better appreciated in Europe than
here. Denmark, for example, feeds
annually 478 pounds Of oil cake to
each of her mature cattle, the United
States approximately "a pounds. Fur
thermore, the European feeder ID
aware of the fact that the high-pro-
tein meal, while more expensive to
buy. is more economical to use, Meal
Of this quality is seldom sold on the
domestic markets because the Ameri-
can farmer has not yet learned its
value. Cottonseed and linseed are per-
haps the best known Of the oil meals
but there are others the use Of which
as feed could be probably extended.
The efficient use Of these and other
feeds discussed In the report Is of the
utmost Importance to the American
farmer, 1t is pointed out, because the
day when close calculation In feeding
was not necessary is, in all probability,
past. Hereafter it is likely that sue
cess will depend upon ability to put
to the best use all available products.
A greater knowledge Of what these
products are and Of the ways in which
they can be fed win result in the
elimination Of enormous waste.

LEGUMEs ARE IDEAL PLANTS
They Come Nearer Giving Something
for Nothing Than Any Other Crop
Add Much Nitrogen.

Alfalfa, clover, soy beans and the
rest Of the legumes are most wonder
full plants. They furnish nutritious
food ana add more nitrogen to the
soil than they remove. They come
nearer giving something for nothing
than any other plants.
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1917-10-05

the rest--15 per cent Of the total crop
lis burned. Burning is practically an
absolute waste and although blowing
under does contribute something to
soil fertility, the benefit to the land
is less than that which would be de-
rived from the use Of the straw to
produce manure. "Of all systems Of
obtaining permanent soil fertility"
says the report, none is 50 practical
or as easily available as that Of feed
ing live stock"
The average value of all kinds Of
straw is placed at about So a ton.
In many sections, Of course, no such
price can be realized for it, and as a
matter OF fact only about 8 per cent
of the crop actually is sold. The fig
ure mentioned, however, may be
taken as representing the value to the
farmer of straw If he will use it prop
erly in his farming operations as feed
or bedding. In order to illustrate how
this may be done the report gives
three sample rations for wintering a
breeding herd Of beef cattle on straw
combined with silage, shock corn and
cottonseed or linseed meal. Any one
of these ratlons, 1t Is said, will prove
economical. They are as follows:
