FEEDING TEST
By M. F. GREELEY

No experiments have ever been made by the government that are of more vital and general value than some of those recently made in poultry feeding.
 Perhaps the one of greatest interest to our farm people is the one proving be- yond question that sour milk can be made to take the place of meat in No. l egg ration and that-no matter what one feeds-if both milk and meat are left out of the poultry ration down will go the egg yield below the point of profit. Three 25-bird pens of White Leghorns were fed in almost exactly the same way except that one pen received sour milk another beef scraps, and the third no meat or animal food whatever. From the sour milk pen 3275 eggs were produced at profit of $2S.26; from the beef scrap pen, 26SS at profit of 1878, and from the no-meat pen, 1873 eggs at a loss of s1 on the pen for the year.
 A few tell us that when they feed sour milk abundantly the hens won't eat t. and others have compiained that milk causes bowel trouble with their birds. All we can say to this Is: We have fed sour milk to our poultry freely-all they will take, just as we feed everything else-for the past 25 years and when fed in clean, frequently and well scalded dishes and so that it is eaten fairly closely, we have never experienced either of the troubles referred to. and we are inclined to believe they will not trouble anyone else with similar feeding

Standard Size Containers

Under the authority of the federal law known as the standard container act the Secretary of Agriculture has just issued the regulations fixing the tolerances which will govern in the administration of that act. The act goes into effect on November 1 of this year
 It prescribes three standard sizes for Climax" baskets for grapes and other fruits and vegetables quarts. quarts and F quarts-and fixed the dimensions for each; it establishes the dry half pint, dry pint. dry quart and multiples of tile dry quart as standards for containers for small fruits. berries and vegetables, and fixes their capacity in cubic inches On and after November it Is unlawful to manufacture or sell for shipment or to ship in interstate commerce. either empty or filled, baskets or containers that do not conform to the requirements set forth in the law. Containers which are not up to the standards cannot be used in interstate commerce even though they are marked short package
 Since good deal of the harvesting and marketing season is still ahead before the law goes into effect, the department sug gests that manufacturers adopt stand ards at once, and that stocks of pack ages which cannot be used after Nove,n- Der should be fully utilized before that date. Package manufacturers and deal- CTS are invited, if they desire to have their packages examined and tested. to ship them to the bureau of markets, United States department of agriculture. Washington, D. C.. for such tests. The bureau will inform the sender whether the container complies %sith the pro- visions of the act. A ser of instructions and standard dimensions will be sent to all who request it of the bureau of markets.

BE SURE AND SOW WINTER OATS

ing time and the land then disked or dragged thoroughly to firm it.
 If the land is rich or if it has been heavily fertilized for the preceding crop, no further fertilization is necessary On most soils. however, the addition of 100 to 200 pounds of acid phosphate or some other form of phosphate fertilizer before or at seeding time is beneficial. Fer tilizers containing nitrogen are usually applied to best advantage about the time growth starts in the spring.
 In the gulf states, Georgia, and the Carolinas, the best oat to grow is the Red Rustproof or some of it's various forms, as Appler, Bancroft Cook, Hun dred Bushel or Patterson. The Fulghum, very popular variety in many sections, is quite similar to Red Rustproof, but has the advantage of ripening 10 days to two weeks earlier. Tn Arkansas, Ten nessee and Virginia the Winter Turf is the first variety to SOW in the fall, as 1t is hardier than Red Rustproof and Fulghum.
 Winter oats should be sown in Tennes- see and Virginia from September 15 to October 15, according to the locality. In the Carolinas and the northern portions of the other southern states SOW from October i to November 1, and in the southern half of Georgia and the gulf states SOW from October 15 to Novem- Der 15. The farther north or the higher the elevation at which the seed is to be sown the earlier should be the date of seeding.
 The grain drill is the best method of sowing oats. If one is not available, the seed may be sown With an ordinary cot ton or corn planter or a one-horse drill. Sowing broadcast and blowing or disking in requires more seed and is a poor and uncertain method. The usual rate of seeding is 21h to 3 bushels, but this may be reduced to to bushels if the seed is drilled early on well pre- pared land. The seed should be sown only deep enough to be sure that it is covered with moist soil, for deeper seed- ing delays germination and early growth Sowing to 11s inches deep is usually sufficient.

Care of Horses Feet
By H. H. HAvNER

The structure of the foot of the horse is such that certain simple practices of care and attention should be followed out. Neglect of these practices soon causes unsound hoofs and brings on lame- ness. The natural method of avoiding dry contracted hoofs is to place the horse on good, rich pasture after a heavy rain The hooA will then absorb the necessary moisture. Unfortunately. it is frequently not practical to give a horse free range according to weather conditions. The best substitute for na- lures own prevention is 10 stand the horse in a strongly built trough or in a clay puddle for two to Tour hours once month.
 The hOofs should have the opportunity to absorb water the same as plant Dressings applied externally are of It. tie value except to improve the external appearance and bring out the natural color of the hoof. An oily preparation does not penetrate. The hoof will absorb water until the leaf layers are supplied according to their normal moisture con tent. If the hoof is kept supple and elas- tic by soaking, the trouble arising from dry. contracted hoofs will be minimizeL A well-watered hoof seldom causes any. trouble
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-09-27

Because of the shortage of corn in some sections of the south and the more than usual need for growing at home all the feed that stock will require, lib- eral acreage should be sown to winter oats this fall wherever that crop is adapted. While many farmers had disastrous experience with oats last win ter, when a large part of the crop was destroyed by the February freeze, repetition of that occurrence this year is not very probable. Oats are generally recognized as being ordinarily the best grain crop for fall sowing in the south, as it usually yields better than other grains natures early, and both the grain and the straw may be fed to live stock. In fact, it is very general practice in many sections either to cut oats for hay or to feed them in the bundle to work stock, thus providing both grain and rougbage.
 The scarcity and high price of seed oats this fall, due to the short crop last spring, make it desirable to use special precautions to get a good stand with as little seed as possible As less seed is needed when the seed is sown- early on well prepared land, attention to these points will pay well. Oats usually do best aIter cultivated crop, such as corn or cotton. If these crops have been kept free from weeds. it is best not to blow the land but to make fine, mellow seed bed two or three inches deep with the disk, spring-tooth or spike-tooth harrow. The disk harrow is the best of these tools for this purpose, though the spike tooth or smoothing harrow should be used the last time over the field to break clods left by the disk. and to leave the surface fine and smooth for the seed good seed bed may also be made with the disk harrow on land from which crop of cowpeas or soy bean hay has been removed Flowing is not usually ad- visable unless the land is very hard or weedy, as it leaves the ground so loose that it dries out readily. If the field must be plowed, the work should be done at least two weeks before seed-

$75,OOO in Texas Cows

W. R. Tucker. agricultural field agent of the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic Railway company left Fitzgerald, Ga. Friday, September 14, with a party of Georgia farmers and stockmen with or ders to purchase 15O0 head of beef cows in Texas for distribution among farmers living along the line of the railway in Georgia and Alabama The value of the orders aggregates $75,OOo II is expected that as soon as the purchasers actually see the cattle which will be purchased for them. many of them will duplicate their orders.
 This is by far the largest single ship ment of high-grade cattle ever made into the southeast. The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlanta railway, working in co-oper- alton with the national government to stimulate greater food production in .he south. has done well to induce so many farmers and business men to purchase some of these Texas cattle for breeding purposes. Texas farmers find 1t abso- lutely necessary to sell their cattle within the next 30 days. owing to protractcd drouth, and while this stuff is thin the cattle which MT. Tucker will buy will be in good condition. and will put on flesh quickly, as soon as they have ac- cess to our pastures, and particularly the velvet bean fields. which are just ma turing.
 MT. Tucker will remain in Texas, care Westbrook hotel Ft. Worth. for 10 days or two weeks Farmers along the line of the railway in Georgia and Alabama are Invited to place orders through their demonstration agent. who can furnish detailed information, with MT Tucker for some of these cattle.

Ninety Bushels Per Acre

Ninety bushels of oats to the acre Is the record made this year by Carl vroo- man, assistant secretary of agriculture, on one of his farms at Chenoa, Ill. The average for all the oats harvested on tho vrooman farms this year was B bush els per acre. Tho average production of oats per acre for Illinois for the past 10 years is 3S.1 bushels The fact that MT. Vreemon was able to more than double this average on his entire acreage and almost to treble 1t on one field, 1t Is pointed out, Is proof of the efficacy of the methods recommended by the United States department of agriculture

STOP THE LEAKS


 Twenty million bushels of wheat and
 proportional quantities of other cereals are annually lost by waste in harvesting and threshing, according, to estimates of specialists in the wheat districts of the west. One man in Kansas with , team and flaming mill made $500 in three weeks last season cleaning up after the threshing machine settings Another man with team cleared s27 to s62 day by following and cleaning the waste from machines The losses incident to har- vesting. and threshing can be largely avoided
 Tn threshing special attention should be given to the adjustment of the con- caves and of the separating machinery, the specialists advise, to make sure that none of the. grain is lost with the straw and chaff. Harvesting machinery should be adjusted that there is as little loss as possible in cutting. Care should be taken also to harvest all grain in the corners, along the edges of fields and in lodged spots. More than usual attention should be given to shocking in order that there may be as little waste as possible from exposure to the weather. If at all practicable, the grain should then be stacked as soon as it is cured and shocked. Stacks of bound or headed grain should be built carefully SD that they will shed water
