KNOW WHAT YOU FEED YOUR
CATTLE.

The cost of feeding steers is about
as impirtant as the cost of the steers
themselves. Therefore, keep record
of the amounts, kinds, and cost Of
all feed consumed by each bunch Of
cattle handled.
1t is easy to keep account of the
amount of cottonseed meal fed by the
amount fed out of sack, or the num-
Der of sacks, or sacks and a fraction
fed each day. 1t is only necessary to
make a record when a change in the
amount is made.
Hay or other baled roughage can
be estimated accurately enough by
getting the average weight on a daz-
en- O. twenty bales.
By taking a dozen or more weigh
ings of ne feed held in whether con-
taine you handle silage, or velvet
beans, or other loose feed, sufficient
ly accurate records can be kept.
By all means keep record.

MAJOR IN SIX MONTHS

A Major in six months is the dis
tinction borne by DR.. B. l.. Mcdonald,
now in France. Mrs. Mcdonald has
Just received a communication from
him stating that his voyage was sue
cessful.
Although not subject to selective
draft regulations, he offered his ser
vice the first of this year; however,
he did not enter the camps until the
latter part of March, when he was ac-
cepted at Fort 0glethorpe as First
Lieutenant. There he expected to re-
ceive special training of from three
to six months, but, owing to his pre-
vious military training, he had been
only two days until he was put in
charge as instructor, serving in that
capacity only two and-half months
and was promoted to the Captaincy
on June 18th. Shortly after being com
missioned as Captain he was removed
to Camp Eustice, Va, and on October
list, just few days before sailing for
France, he received his commission as
Major.
1t has been DR.. McDonald's ambition
to bear the gold leaf on his return
home after the war, but his advance
ment has been beyond his fondest hop
es, and he was permitted to carry this
honor with him to France. He is es-
pecially gratified from the fact that
he has been advanced solely upon his
merits, as it was his desire to win the
favor of his superior officers through
hard work and efficient service.
Major Mcdonald is native of Scott
County, Tennessee, and a graduate of
the Huntsville High School. He enter
ed the Medical branch of the Lincoln
Memorial University at Knoxville in
1911, completing his course at the
University of Tennessee in 1916, since
which time he has ben practicing
physician in Granger County until
he entered the military service.
He was the first boy in Siott Coun-
ty to volunteer in the Spanish Am
erican war, and saw sir yaers service
in the army at that time. Likewise, he
was the first doctor in Granger Coun-
ty to offer his service in the present
war;

FOUND BOOKS Deep

Sure Reach Soldiers, Says
Raymond Fosdick

Il found the books of the American
Library Association everywhere in
France" says Raymond Fosdick, chair
man of the National Commission on
Training Camp Activities, who has just
returned from an extended trip over
seas, during which he conducted a
thorough investigation of the work
being done by the various war work
agencies.
Il found them in dugouts thirty or
forty feet below ground, in cow-barns
where shrapnel had blown parts Of
the roof away, as well as in the sub
stantial huts and tents far back from
the firing line.
81 have found them in hospitals and
dressing stations; in scattered villages
in the training area where our men are
billeted and even in the remote parts
of France where the forestry units are
carrying out their lonely, but efficient
and essential work. Your books are in
continual demand from the time the
soldiers arrive in camp in America
until they come back home after serv-
ice over there"

WHAT TO FEED POULTRY

Seventy-five pounds of feed is re-
quired to carry nature fowl twelve
months one-half of this amount will
be ground feed and the other half
scratch feed. Ground corn can be pur-
chased today for $50 ton, and meat
scraps at 500 a ton.
A very satisfactory dry mash is
made by mixing 800 pounds of ground
corn, 100 pounds of meat scraps--ad-
ding a couple of pounds each of gran
ulated charcoal grit, oyster shell, and
table salt.
This should be mixed with a shovel,
and then put into the hopper, Much
labor can be saved by mixing several
hundred pounds at a time. After the
hopper is filled, store the rest in bar
rels convenient for future use.
The cheapest grain found in your
locality can be satisfactorily used as
a basis for scratch feed. The follow
ing grains are satisfactory: corn, oats
barley, rye, buckwheat, caneseed and
wheat screenings. Fifty percent Of the
scratch feed consists of good quality
corn, and any or all of the above NAM
ed can make up the rest.
The price of feed shows more profit
on eggs and market poultry to the
former today than years ago.
