Keep More Cows on Fewer Acres.

The following is compiled from the
results of an experiment conducted by
the Illinois experiment station with
ten cows in each of the three lots. It
will be noted that the silage fed cows
made much larger gains than either Of
the other lots and did it from consid-
erably smaller acreage. The cows fed
on silage came through the winter in
splendid condition. Those fed on fod-
der did fairly we'll, while those fed
stover were in poor shape by spring,
with rough coats, poor appetites for
the feed given, and lacking in thrift
generally. Where clover or alfalfa
was not available, silage and oat straw
has proved a good roughage combina-
ton for breeding cattle, where sup

Remedy" writes William Whitelaw, of
Des Moines, Iowa. "He told me in
detail Of what it had done for his fam
lily, but more especially his daughter
who was lying at the point of death
with violent attack Of dysentary, and
had been given up by the family ply
sician. Some Of his neighbors advis-
ed him to give Chamberlain's Diar-
rhoea Remedy, which he did, and fully
believes that by doing so saved the
life of his child. He stated that he
had also used this remedy himself
with equally gratifying results" For

A Bilious Attack.

When you have bilious attack your
liver fails to perform it's functions.
You become constipated. The food
you eat ferments in your stomach in
stead Of digesting. This inflames the
stomach and causes nausea, vomiting
and terrible headache. Take three
of Chamberlain's Tablets. They will
tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as we'll
as ever. They only cost a quarter.

Poor Layers MOult Early.

Now is the time to pick out the
Stacker hens, say the poultymen at
Iowa State college. The poor layers
should be separated from the good
ones and sold. Poor layers moult
early in July and August and they
mott slowly If they are yellow
legged variety the beak, legs and toes
will be a bright yellow, while in good
layers they will be of faded color
If the hens have white ear lobes they
will appear Of a creamy color, which
is not present in the lobes of good
layers.
Good layers mott late in September
October and November and their
plumage is frayed and ragged up to
the time of melting. Poor layers will
have newer plumage in the late sum
mer and fall. Poor layers may also
be distinguished by the fact that they
have thick pelvic bones and are mar.
row between the bones.

Cooperation and Dairying Pays.
Do you believe in cooperation or
dairying? If you don't, ask the pat
rons of the Ryan Cooperative Cream
cry. ... ,..s..
While this creamery has not attain
ed the star Of perfection, it is an in
stitution where progress may be OBJ
served. Like all creameries, its sue
cess is based upon good men at the
factory and interested co-operators or
patrons.
In these days of hot weather, but
termaking is an art-especially when
cream is not handled correctly. And
this reminds me of an instance that
came to our attention at Edgewood
the other dya. A farmer had q tank
of very cold water where he kept the
cream from the time it was separated
until marketed. Yes, he was inter-
ested in the success of the creamery
and they were interested in his good,
sweet cream to the extent of cents
per pound premium above what other
farmers received. Ask yourself if it
pays. Or would you just as soon have
the butter made from "some" cream
you have seen delivered to the home
creamery
The men in charge Of the Ryan
creamery are looking forward to the
day when all their cream will be de-
livered to them like the case men
toned at Edgewood. Farmers are re-
ceiving nice cream checks, according
to Henry Brayton, the secretary.
Eighty-five patrons are resolving over
$25 per month. Some Of the out
standing cream checks for June are
as follows: Thos. Supple, $2Oe.16:
Crystal Bros, $161.47; w. Barfuse.

Buy Your Feeder Stock Now.

Right now is an opportune time for
feeder to buy stockers and feeders and
feeder lambs Animal husbandry at
Iowa State college suggest August as
perhaps the best month of the year
in which to secure thin cattle. Drouth
conditions in the west force the sale
of many cattle which can be bought
carrying little flesh and which will
respond we'll to feed. Kansas City
and Omaha are the markets where
such cattle can be most advantage
ously bought,
Lamb feeders are warned to watch
the feeder lamb market closely. The
prices are very high at present and
promise to continue on a high level
The recent orer of the food admins
tration concerning beef consumption
has served to boost the lamb market.
At present packers are buying many
lambs that should go into feed lots
Animal husbandrymen who are &C.
quainted with the situation, predict a
big market for lambs and feeders are
urged not to delay buying too long.

calves are entered in the contest.
The purpose is to feed calves fol
market beef. Pure-bred calves may
be used, but bull calves and all heifers
intended for breeding purposes are
barred.
The feeding record is to begin the
day the calf is weighed, between DC.
tober / and October 30, 1918. Two

Stock Needs Salt,

In these busy days, don't forget that
the farm animals need plenty of salt
preferably rock salt. Hogs require a
certain amount of salt to keep them in
good condition. Ordinary barrel salt,
kept in a self feeder to protect it from
the weather, makes it easy for the
hogs to get at 1t.
The following formula makes a good
combination for the hog lot. Prepare
and give to hogs in self feeder:
One bushel of charcoal, l bushel of
wood ashes, peck Of air slaked lime,
2 to 3 pounds of common creamery
salt, pound sulphur. Mix the in
gradients well before giving to the
hogs.
