Feeding Work Horses.

Careful experiments made at the
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton in feeding work horses showed
the following results:
/. Corn Is a satisfactory substi-
tute for oats for work horses during
the winter months, but is not sat
islactory substitute during the WIN
ter months when both are fed with
prairie or timothy hay.
.. Corn is satisfactory subsH-
tute for oats. for work horse both win
ter and summer when fed with alfal-
ia hay.
3. A MIXTURE of corn. bran and
linseed oil meal. in the proportion of
6:3:l by weight. is a satisfactory
substitute for work horses when both
are fed with timothy or prairie hay.
This mixture is also cheaper than
oats.
4. Ten pound of alfalfa hay a
day for each thousand pounds of live
weight is approximately the proper
amount for work horses.
5. Alfalfa hay is satisfactory
substitute for prairie hay for work
horses when fed in limited amounts,
and cheapens the ration,
g. A nutritive ratio of about is
is almost satisfactory when the
roughage consists of timothy or prai-
rie hay A nutritive ratio of lie is
quite satisfactory when the rough
age consists mostly of alfalfa hay.
T. No digestive disturbances
could be attributed to any ration fed
in this experiment.

Give Farm Machinery a Chance.

1.-The first step in the care of farm
machinery is to keep it as clean as
conditions will permit. We would
not expect the best OF service from
the machinery of large power plant
if we found every weel and part COW
cred with greese. dirt. and other ac-
cumulations. Neither should we
expect our farm machinery, such as
the reaper. disk, drill and planter,
to give the best of service under q
coat OF rust and dirt. Dirt on ma
chinery is. very injurious. inasmuch
as il absorbs moisture and rusts the
metal parts.
Now is the time to clean up the
tools, overhaul them and store them
in a dry house or shed. The cost Of
such a shed will soon be paid for in
saving on the machinery, and there
is considerable satisfaction in know
ing Just where to look for an imple-
ment when it is needed, and to feel
that 1t is in good running order. -

A general idea of crop production
the world over may be had from the
report of the International Institute
of Agriculture. which includes the
principal countries. Six OF ten staple
commodities show an increase Tor
1917 over average production for the
period of l9ll-i9l5. These commodi-
ties are corn. oats. rice. sugar beets,
potatoes and tobacco. The four crops
showing decrease from average pro-
duction are wheat, rye, barley and
faxseed. II is interesting To note
that the decrease of l4.& per cent in
the wheat crop is compensated by
the al per cent increase in corn,
which is the principal substitute OF
wheat.

lambs in the United States today are
worth about $425, OO0.O 900. even G per
cent OF this would foot up yearly
loss of s25 900. 900.
The sheep-dipping campaign, which
the Department of Agriculture and
all the state experiment stations have
been carrying on for some years, has
completely freed thousands of fiocks
from ticks but even were it necessa-
ny 10 dip every sheep and lamb in
the country today to eradicate every
tick the total cost would be, only
about a million dollars.

Testing, Increased Profits $5i per
Cow.

Six Jackson county. Missouri, dali
rymen. who have been members of
the COW testing association for the
last three years, were able to increase
milk production 1.G0s pounds. and
butterfat production 81 pounds for
each COW over the average produc-
lion of their herds the first year. The
increased income from each COW was
S46.3e. The average production OF
their herds for the year before they
Joined the cow testing association Is
not known, but 1t is safe to assume
that il did not exceed l75 pounds OF
butter fat per COW. The average pro-
duction OF their herds the third year
OF COW testing association work was
SO pounds OF butterfat per COW.
This means that the butterfat pro-
duotion was increased 1876 pounds
per COW as result OF three years OF
keeping records and testing, and be-
cause of improved methods OF feed
ing and management and a closer
study of the business by the farmers,
which has been brought about largely
through the COW testing association.
AT SO cents per pound for butterfat,
the average price received by the as
ISOLATION members during the last
year. this increase was worth S7l.S5

| In the interests OF conservation, a

which it was estimated $2S5,OOO worth
