DAIRY
FACTS
STUDY NEEDS OF LIVE STOCK
Dairymen and Stock Raisers Are eau
toned to Feed Only Balanced
Ration to Animals.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In order to save feed-to see that
none of 1t is Observation-Disclosures and
1--we stock men should study the needs
Of their animals and see that only the
required feed Is given In a balanced
ration. This is particularly impor-
tant at the present time. since an in
crease in feed and more live stock
are needed to supply the needs of this
nation and the allies.
To reduce the problems involved in
the selection Of feeds ON the basis Of
their nutritive value-which are meas
ured In terms of protein, carbohydrate,
and fat contents-in order to make
them apply to everyday feeding, has
not been simple. In bulletin re-
Gently issued by the United States de-
partment Of agriculture tables are
given which make the balancing Of
rations simple matter Of multiplied
ton and division. 1t Is explained that
protein, carbohydrate, and fat con-
tents of a feedstuff are not the only
factors affecting its feed value. Pro-
TENS differ In their .nutritive quail
ties, while some substances not in
cluded in the classes mentioned are
necessary to the proper maintenance
of the bodily functions. The palata.
bilhy and succulence of a feed has
y,y,b to do with itc uol,1o 90 food
Many feedstuffs have physiological eff
fects entirely apart from their nutri-
tive qualities. A ration may be per-
fectly balanced from the standpoint Of
relative content of protein and en-
ergy producers, and yet be quite i'm
practicable, the specialists point out,
because it Is too bulky or too con-
centrated. Consideration Of q feed
stuff or q ration based only on chem
ical composition, therefore, Is to be
taken merely as a guide, it is ex-
planned, to be followed in the light Of
all the knowledge obtainable about ami.
NAL nutrition.
The selling price of q feed is not a
reliable guide to its relative feeding
value. The carbohydrate feeds-corn,
oats, barley, kafir, and various others
and the protein feeds-cottonseed
meal, tankage, and brewers grains
are found on the market at various
prices. The feeder desires to know,
with certain given prices, which is
the cheapest feed to buy-the true
value Of bushel Of oats, rye, or bar.
ley for feed when corn is worth so
cents bushel. He wishes to know
the value of ton of brewers grains,
linseed meal, or bran when cottonseed
meal Is worth $50 ton and corn 81
bushel. BY the use. of the tables
presented in the bulletin, which show
comparative costs based on nutritive
values, these questions can be an
swered.

FERTILIZER IN AN ORCHARD
Often Without AppreciabIe Effect II
Applied to Soils in Poor Physi.
cal Condition.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Fertilizers are often largely without
appreciate effect If they are applied
to soils that are In poor physical con-
ditiOn, as when they are greatly lack
ing in humus. For this reason at
tention should be given to the use Of
fertilizers only after the possibilities
Of tillage and the maintenance Of the
soil in good physical condition have
been exhausted.
It follows that complete fertilizer
may give excellent results. But If
there Is an insufficient supply of only
one plant food, then it may be as
sumed that the response from the fer
tillzer is due to the presence In 1t of
that plant food of which there was an
insufficient supply in the soil and
that the other plant foods In the fer
tilizer were without any real value to
the crop or trees.
The wiser plan Is to carry on few
experiments with view to determin-
Ing local needs. A representative
portion Of the orchard may be select
ed. To few trees-perhaps five Of
six-nitrogen may be applied; to
other trees, potash; and to still 9TH
ers, phosphoric acid. Different COM
binations of these plant foods may be
applied to other groups of trees.
If detailed record is made Of the
different applications and each group
Of trees treated the same way each
season for several successive years,
gradually the results of the different
fertilizer treatments will become ap-
parent in the behavior of the trees,
their growth and vigor, the productive
ness and regularity Of the crops, the
quality of the fruit, and in other
ways. From such results the grower
who has carefully studied the condl-
tons should be able to decide upon
a rational basis for the use of fertiliz-
ers In his own orchard.

People who wish inventions considered
should apply data: Name and object
Of invention, any claim for superiority
or novelty, and results obtained by &C
tual experiment, whether the invention
is patented, whether remuneration is
expected, whether the invention has
been before any other agency, whether

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad.
wise our readers who feel in need of such
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

WATCH FOR LICE AND MITES
Unless Parasites Are Controlled They
Have Marked Effect on Number
of Eggs Produced.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Poultry raisers should be on the
lookout for lice and mites, for they
get buster than ever with the coming
of warm weather. Unless they are
controlled at this season they will
have a marked effect on the number
of eggs produced by laying hens, and
the number Of chicks raised. Poul-
try houses should be thoroughly clean
ed, whitewashed, or sprayed with kero-
sene or kerosene emulsion at this sea-
son. The hens should also be provided
with good dust box, and insect pow
der should be busted among their
feathers.
Mites usually stay In the cracks Of
the henhouses and under the roosts in
the daytime, where they lay their eggs.
At night when the fowls 60 to roost
the mites come out Of their hiding
places, attach themselves to the fowls,
and feed by sucking blood from the
birds. To get rid Of them the houses
should be cleaned and sprayed thor
oughly, including the nests, the drop
ping boards, and roosts. The poultry
house that is kept clean and has plen-
ty Of sunlight and ventilation Is usual
ly free from mites. Immediately after
cleaning the house should be white
washed or sprayed. An effective white
wash is made by shaking one-half peck
Of lime in 20 gallons of water. Add
one pound Of salt, previously dis
solved, and two quarts Of crude car
bolic acid, or one gallon Of stock dip,
and apply the mixture with a spray
pump or brush. Kerosene, crude oil
or some good preservative manufac
tured from coal tar, sprayed about the
Interior of the house, especially in the
cracks and crevices, is an effective
means Of killing mites. If kerosene II
used it is necessary to continue ia
spray every 10 days or two weeks

Hot Weather Poisons
Hit The Stomach First
How to Keep Your Stomach
a... Strong, Cool and Sweet

Hot weather always starts those
quick chemical changes which pro-
duce poisons in meats, fish, fruits,
vegetables, milk and food products.
Such summer poisons in foods not
only make well stomachs sick but de-
velop with dangerous rapidity in
sensitive, sick or ailing stomachs and
bowels.
These poisons not only generate
gases and fluids which cause that
bloated, mpyfeeling, heartburn, sour
stomach, belching, acidity, but endless
other stomach and bowel miseries.

throughout the warm weather. The
effect of crude oil or wood preserva.
tive Is much more lasting.
Inasmuch as lice spend a greater
part Of their time on the fowls, the
most effective treatment is that which
is applied directly to the birds. The
cleanliness Of the house, however, Is
of equal Importance If the lice are to
be gotten rid Of entirely. The two
most practical methods of fighting lice
are busting or using paste or an ONT
ment. Provide a good dust box con-
tanning mixture of road dust or wood
ashes and allow the hens to dust them
selves. busting the hens by hand Is
effective and is especially recommend
ed for setting hens and fowls that are
very much infested with lice. A good
homemade dust or louise powder Is
made by mixing together one and one
half pints of gasoline and one pint Of
crude carbolic acid with four quarts
Of plaster Of Paris. Allow 1t to dry,
crush to a powder, and work 1t well
into the feathers by hand.
One Of the most effective ointments
used to destroy lice is mixture Of
equal parts of blue ointment with vase
line or lard. Mix these ingredients
thoroughly and apply a small portion
(about the size Of pea) to the top
Of the head, under the wings, and
around the vent.
Note-Blue ointment should not be
used on Matching hens and small

VALUE OF BACKYARD FLOCK

Here are some safe figures about
what can be expected of backyard
flock. Each hen in her pullet year
should produce ten dozen eggs. The
average size of the backyard flock
should be ut least ten hens. Thus
each flock would produce in year 100
dozen of eggs, which, at the conserva-
tive value of % cents a dozen, would
be worth $25. But the 100 dozen Is
more important than the $25.
