fed so that it will be picked up clean,
and you will find next spring that
there is not a bit Of the corn lying
around to go to waste.
Protein feeds in the form of shorts,
tankage, Oilmeal or alfalfa hay should
be supplied. Self-feeders can be used
for these feeds, and it is quite success
full to grind the alfalfa hay. Sows will
eat larger percentage Of alfalfa hay
fed in the ground form than when fed
in racks unground. This alfalfa is
generally cheaper on the corn belt
farms than any Of the other protein
feeds and is good balance to the corn
ration.
By following a few Of these simple
methods the sows will be brought to
farrowing time capable Of producing
good strong pigs. Every hog grower
knows that If he is going to have pigs
that do their best from the start they
must necessarily be strong and vigor-
GUS at farrowing time. The proper care
Of the brood SOW is not difficult and
should be carefully looked after by
every hog grower.

In the stalk fields and not by getting it

GROWING Calves for Beef.

In order that calves may be qualified
for the production Of baby beef, that
is, fattened and matured for market
between one and two years Of age, they
must have quality and good finish.
The consumer does not want the un-
finished yearling, and the calf that
does not have quality will not take on
a high finish. Neither will the calf
lacking in early-maturing qualities
fatten properly during the latter part
Of the feeding period, but instead it
will use most of the feed which it con-
sumes for growth. The feeder should
keep this in mind and first determine
whether his calves are good enough to
compete on the fat yearling market,
and if he decides that they are not,
they should be finished with coarse
feeds and marketed later.
The deep, wide-bodied, thick-feshed
calf with short legs and an abundance
Of quality as Indicated by fineness Of
hair, texture of skin, smoothness of
flesh, and general refinement about the
head and other parts of the body, is
the type best suited for making prime
baby beef. Uniformity in size, weight
and color should not be overlooked
either, because such factors are an ad-
vantage in marketing. These points
are of great Importance in selecting
calves that will make rapid gains and
return the most pounds of meat for
the amount of feed given them.

Mount Logan mining district, COM
plying with public land laws, has been
organized at Debeque by six shale oil
companies.
Prof. H. A. Huston, an authority in

In presenting to the public the oil

the most difficult elemtn in the task
is to clearly convey an idea of its
enormous proportions.
By midsummer the production of
molybdenum in Colorado will approx
mate $1,000,0OO a month, the entire
output of the mines being contracted
for by the government for war pur-
poses. This estimate is given in the

pean war and the consequent depletion
Of the European supply of cattle, the
task Of meeting the increasing de-
mands for beef and beef products, to
a large extent, has been put upon the
people of the United States.
The exports of dressed beef and beef
products have increased lit per cent
during the last three years. The short
age of beef abroad, like the shortage
Of other meat products, doubtless will
be accentuated as the war progresses.
Beef production can be increased in
the settled farm areas Of the nation.
and especially in the South. 1t can be
increased everywhere by preventing
the loss of flesh by calves during their
first winter and keeping calves grow
ing during this period so that beef ami
mails may be marketed at earlier ages,
thereby requiring the maintenance Of
fewer stocker cattle and making pos
sible the maintenance Of larger breed
ing herds; by using a larger proper
tion of bulls on the range to insure
larger calf crops; by using good bulls
only; by reducing the tick-infested
areas as rapidly as possible; by elimi-
mating as far as possible the losses
from disease and predatory animals
by transferring animals from regions
of scarcity of feed to those where
there is an abundance of feed; by pro-
viding more ample supply Of winter
feed and better shelter, and by utiliz-
ing all roughage produced, either as
fodder, hay, or silage, and supplement-
ing these feeds with more nitrogenous
concentrates and less grain.

Up Much of Living: !

Sheep, in proportion to the v&lue of
their products, are produced more
economically on the faHn~than any
other live stock; the feed aAd labor re-
quirements are less. They fit in with
general farming, get much of their
subsistence from forage from grazing
weeds and grass that would not sup
port other stock. They eat little feed
that has a value as human food, and
need less grain than other animals.
They add materially to the farm reve-
nue. but add very little, relatively, to
the farm expense.

by proper rations Of concentrat-

crops, by hogging down grain
sorghums and corn, by finishing
