PIGS MAKE RAPID
GAINS ON SKIM Milk
MOST VALUABLE SUPPLEMENT
TO CORN FOR HOG FEEDING
THAT CAN BE HAD.
LOWERS THE FEEDING COST
Euttermilk Is About Equal In Feeding
Value To Skim Milk For
Older Hogs.

Dairymen in certain sections Of
Louisiana have surplus of skim milk
at present for which they can not find
q market As a result Of feeding ex-
periments at number of state ex-
pertinent stations throughout the
country, it has been found that skim
milk is the most valuable supplement
to corn. for hog feeding that can be
had. Tho amount OF skim milk fed
. in proportion to the amount OF corn
has very little effect on the final re-
suits. However, for each pound Of
corn the amount of skim milk should
be somewhere between one and four
pounds. With young pigs, or pigs
Just weaned, greater proportion OF
skim milk will give better results than
with older animals.
At the Ohio experiment station It
was found that hogs fed with corn
and skim milk made a gain of 20.1
pounds OF pork for every busheI OF
corn compared to gain of 13.1 pounds
for every bushel of corn where they
were fed on corn with rape pasture.
The animals getting skim milk also
made much more rapid gains than
those on rape pasture. In another test
at this same station hogs on pasture
and fed corn alone made an average
daily gain of 100 pounds per head
compared to an average daily gain of
1.65 pounds made by hogs that were
fed skim milk in addition to the above
mentioned ration
When skim milk Is fed in addition
to corn the hogs make more rapid
and cheaper gains than when corn is
fed alone. In this connection it NAV
be well to state that one hundred
pounds of skim milk is approximately
equal in, value 20 one-half bushei VI
corn when fed In addition to corn as
compared to feeding corn alone. But
ternilk Is about equal in feeding value
to skim milk for older hogs. although
It is not so good for small pigs that
have just been weaned--L P. Nc

RED CROSS NOTES

The outpour of Red Cross articles
continues in Wausau and Marathon
county. Besides the regular work, a
large number of pads, or large wound
bandages, have now been given the
Marathon chapter to get out for this
month. This will mean a great deal of
work added to what is already on hand
to be gotten out, and the committee
in charge at the work rooms asks all,
who possibly can, to lend their help 70
this cause.
The students of our schools are do
ing very much along the Red Cross
line, and the results of their efforts
mean more than can be said.
A good showing was made by the
local chapter during the past month";
and the finished articles sent to the
Central Division at Chicago.
At Dancy dancing party was re-
Gently given for the benefit of the
Red Cross, at which time $500 was
realized and a check for that amount
was received by the local chapter this
past week.
A new society has now been organ
lied called the Junior Red Cross,
which is for children. A large mem
bership is expected in this city. The
drive is under the supervision of the
school teachers, and each room is
working for 100 per cent. The Jun
ior Red Cross movement is indeed
splendid thing, as it gets our chill
dren interested in helping the needy,
and giving their attention and aid to
those who are deserving of the same.
This movement is being pushed all
over the United States. This society
can help materially by making hand
kerchiefs, quilts, ice bag covers, bed
socks, splnt pads and numerous
other things.

KITCHEN DEMANDS" BEST
GUIDE FOR WAR
GARDENER
Frederic Cranefield, Secretary, Wis
cOnSin State horticultural
Society

The beginner in gardening is apt
to attempt too much. A small garden
well titled is better than larger one
neglected.
Amateur, home, or so called war
gardens may be divided into two
classes; the small back lot gardens
ranging in size from by 10 feet to
those of as many yards, and the gar
denS of more ambitious amateurs oc-
cupying an entire lot or even more
TO PLANT OR NOT TO PLANT
In the small garden confine the list
to kinds requiring but little room,
such as:
Bean, beet, cabbage, carrot, lettuce,
onion, parsnip, pea, radish, spinach
and tomato Not much more should
be attempted except that late turnips
or rutabagas may be grown as success
sion crops.
These Demand Much Elbow Room
Sweet corn, cucumber, squash and
pumpkin require much room and with
potatoes should be attempted only
where plenty of land is available.
These Are Too Brussels
sprouts, caulifower, celery, endive,
egg plant, peppers and lima beans
are kinds that require rather more
skill to grow than the average anna
teur is apt to possess and should not
be included in the beginners list.
Soil conditions and the taste of
the gardener are factors that should
be considered.
The beginner is usually very am
bilious and is apt to try everything
named in the catalogue. The old-timer
confines his efforts to a few kinds,
the ones most in demand in the
kitchen.
THE BEST" VARIETIES
Ask each of dozen expert garden
ers to make a list of best varieties
and the result will be dozen differ
ent lists, for each has his favorites,
but on discussion it will usually be
found that their distinctions are too
slight to be considered seriously. All
the important garden vegetables are
classified by the expert as to types
such as the round radishes and the
long radishes, round beets and fat
beets, etc. Each scotsman has varie-
ties which he exploits as the best" of
these types.

POTATOES CAN ONLY BE USED ON
CERTAIN CONDITIONS

The following telegram received
from the state food administrator
speaks for itself:
There is large supply of po-
tatoes in the state urgently in need
of market, and you are hereby au-
thorized to permit sale of potatoes
as a substitute for wheat -four on
the basis of four pounds of pota-
toes to one of -four. Potatoes, how
ever, should only be said to make
up for any lack of regular substi-
tutes, such as cornmeal, corn flour,
barley flour, etc.
MAGNUS SWENSON,
State Food Administrator"
So it will be noticed that potatoes
can only be used as substitute when
there is a lack of regular substitutes.

WAR SHOWS VALUE OF ELM.
Long Famous Shade Tree Found to Have
High Qualities for Lumber.

The unprecedented demand for lumber
and timber created by the war has
brought into attention woods that here
tofore have had but little notice. Only
a few wears ago elm was one of the de-
spised trees of the forest so far as the
timberman was concerned, but the con
sumption of other woods deemed more
important in industry and their conse
quent scarcity has brought elm forward
with a bound Specialists of the gov
eminent forestry service have recently
made a study of the available supply
and the utilization of elm. and their re-
ports show that the demand is steadily
increasing, while the supply is rapidly
decreasing 1t is estimated that the
total stand of elm is about ,500000000
feet This amount would furnish a sup
ply for approximately thirty years at
the present rate of cutting, as the an
nual output of elm lumber is about "a
100000 board feet. placing elm twelfth
in rank among all woods and tenth
among hardwoods in point of lumber pro-
duction
Elm wood is desirable where strength.
bending quality and ability to withstand
shocks are required 1t IS. in general,
heavy. hard and strong The most inn
portant use TO which it is put, according
to the bulletin, is in the cooperage in
dustry; the amount credited to this use
being more than twice that of the next
in Importance, which is in the manufac-
/ ture of baskets and crates 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 board feet are
used annually in making cooperage stock
/ or barrels.
Elm is used extensively in making az.
riculturaI implements and vehicles also
| 1t is useful in the manufacture of wheels
and bodies for automobiles, and the rapid
growth of this industry has brought
about considerable increase in the de
mand for elm. Its ability to make &
good polish makes it desirable in tn,
manufacture of certain pieces of furni
ture, cabinet work, and interior trim
mings. 1t is fairly durable wood, tn
average untreated lumber in situations
exposed to weather lasting six to eigh
years. When properly treated with creo
sote this period may be heightened t,
twenty or more years, making it de
sirable for use as posts, poles, and rail
road ties.
While the elm has always ranked higl
as shade tree and for large ornamen
tation, it has not been used in refores
tation and in the replacement of rura
wood lots Its value as a timber tree
now fully recognized, and forestry ex
perts recommend it highly as mean
for quickly creating future lumbe
supply.
