GRAIN is
i SUPERIOR FOR STOCK
Horses, Especially, Relish Ground
Feed and Grinding Increases
Its DigestibiIity.

The farmer who feeds grain finds
that grinding Is one of the practical
ways to get the greatest feeding value.
In man, his intelligence tells him to
chew his food and the more he chews
1t the more benefit he derives from It,
Animals have no such intelligence,
thus their food must be prepared for
them. This can be done by grinding
and the grains are broken up so that
the digestive fluids are given q better
chance to do their work. A saving of
about ~ per cent can be made by
grinding oats, barley, rye, wheat and
peas. 1t pays always to grind the
small grains and the benefits derived
seem to be well established.
Horses, especially, relish ground
grain and crushing the grain for them
increases its dlgestiblllty. When a
horse becomes old and its teeth get
bad, nothing will keep 1t in any bet.

unground grains. Cattle fed corn
meal make large gains and the use of
meal especially a few weeks before
selling will prove very economical.
Hogs will fatten quickly on ground
corn, but the. oil in the meal when
ground too long, becomes rancid, SO
we see the necessity of having the
feed as fresh as possible. 1t is b
waste Of money to buy ground feed
when the good, clean grains can be
ground much cheaper at home.
A good feed grinder for grinding
ear corn, shelled corn and all kinds of
small grains soon pays for itself in
the quality of the ground feed. Mill
screenings, elevator waste, oat hulls
and ground corncobs do not contain
much nutrltive value since the grind
ing of the feed alone does not i'm.
prove the quality. Feed that is not
fattening or feed that stock will not
eat is Of no value, but good, clean,
ground grain pays and is recommend
ed as a great benefit to stock.

cooked at the proper time the leaves

that the cocks will readily shed water
during heavy rains.
Stacking Sweet Glover.
In stacking sweet clover, cover
should be provided either in the form
of a roof, canvas or long, green
grass. A foundation Of rails, posts or
boards is desirable, as this will permit
the circulation Of air under the. stack.
No instances of spontaneous combus-
tion in sweet clever hay have been
noted, says the writer of the bulletin,
but this may be due to the fact that
comparatively little sweet clover hay is
st9gedfh barns. The same precautions

sweet clover hay as with red clover or

is LOCKED IN REFRIGERATOR
Facing Death in a Sound-Proof Box Is
Thrilling Experience of Kansas
Butcher.

GOodland, Kan.-E. w. Sullivan, the
butcher, has just had an experience
that gave him some idea of what it
means to be entombed with little or
no prospect Of being rescued.
He entered his shop, locking the
door after him, and then entered the
big refrigerator. The door closed and
the snap lock shut him up in a tenn
perature of about 80 degrees. The big
ice box is straight and sound-proof, so
that it was impossible to make enough
noise to attract persons passing on
the street.
A large hook was used to make n
hole in the door, but without success,
and it was only when Sullivan dis
covered a cleaver in one corner of the
refrigerator that hope was renewed. A
hole was cut in the door near the lock
and the butcher secured release after
an hours work.

TRAP CHINCH BUGS !.
: BY FLOWING FURR7OW
~. ''!'
Insects Find 1t Easier to Crawl
Along Bottom Than Climb
Sides-AIso, Dig. Holes.

From the United States. Department OF
/ Agriculture)
The time to strike at chinch bugs is
before they begin their migrations
from fields of wheat, rye, or barley,
about harvest time, into the corn. Be
on guard for them. Their presence in
these crops often is hard to detect,
because the damage they do in such
fields is obscure or Of no apparent i'm
portance. 1t is important that the
bugs be discovered before they begin
to crawl toward the cornfields, ento-
mOlOgists In the United States depart
ment of agriculture say, for the corn
then can be protected and the migrat-
Ing insects trapped in the following
way:
Plow q deep furrow along the edge
of the field, running the land side Of
the plow toward the field to be pro-
tected. In dry weather the sides Of
the furrow can be made so smooth and
so steep that the bugs will find it
easier to crawl along the bottom than
to climb up the sides. Circular holes
from 30 to 40 feet apart, made with q
pOst-hole digger, may then be dug in
the bottom of the trench. Into these
holes the bugs will fall in large num-
bers, where they may be killed easily
by sprinkling kerosene oil over them.
A log dragged back and forth along
the furrOw is useful in keeping the
bottom and sides in good condition
during dry weather.
Spraying for chinch bugs has not
proved successful, except on a small
scale and when conducted by an ex-
pert, the difficulty being that the sub
stances which kill the bugs are al
most sure to kill the corn also. The
thing to do is to discover the bugs
before they reach the corn and keep
them out Of 1t by the methods de-
scribed above.
Additional information regarding the
chinch bug is contained in Farmers
Bulletin 657, which can be secured free
trora the department Of agriculture.

HOW TO CUT SWEET CLOVER CROP FOR HAY

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Cutting the first crop of the second
season of sweet clover too close to the
ground kills the stand on large pro-
portion of the fields. To prevent the
loss of stands, farmers should examine
the fields carefully before moving to
determine the height at which the
plants should be cut. At least one
healthy bud or young branch should
be left on each stub. In fact, the
plants should be cut several inches
above the young shoots or buds, as the
stubble may die back from one to
three inches if they are cut during
damp or rainy weather.
Proper Height to Cut.
Because of the difference in the
growth that sweet clover makes on
different types of soil and because of
the difference in thickness Of stands in
different fields, it is impossible, the
specialist says, to state definitely the
proper height to cut the first crop the
second season when second crop is
expected. When the field contains a
good stand and when the plants have
made no more than 30-inch growth,
a five to six-inch stubble usually will
be sufficient to insure second crop.
When fields contain very heavy stands
-15 to % plants to the square foot-it
may be necessary to leave an eight
inch stubble. When the plants have
been permitted to make SO to 40-inch
growth, a stubble ten to twelve inches
Meade County news., 1917-07-26

crop of the second season 1t is a good
plan to use extension shoe soles on
the mower so that a high stubble may
be left.
1t is not necessary to leave more
than an ordinary stubble when cutting
the sweet clover hay crop in the fall
of the year of seeding. A stubble four
or five inches high, however, will serve
to hold drifting snow and undoubtedly
will be of some help in protecting the
plants from winter injury.
Cure Sweet Glover Hay.
In some sections of the country It
Is difficult to cure sweet clover hay be-
cause the stand is ready to cut at a
time Of the year when weather condi-
tions are likely to be unfavorable for
haymalSing. Succulent plants like
sweet clover cannot be cured into hay
Of good quality unless excellent wealth
er conditions prevail during the hay
ing period. One of the most success
full methods for handling sweet clover
hay is to allow the plants to remain In
the swath until they are well wilted
or just before the leaves begin to cure.
The hay should then be raked into
windrows and cooked at once. The
cocks should be made as high and ms
narrow as possible, as this will permit
better ventilation. In curing, the cocks
will shrink from one-third to one-half
their original size. 1t may take ten
days to two weeks to cure sweet clo'
yer by this method, but when well
