IL Stallion enrolment in Iowa during
the year 1917 decreased by HOB GER
Ificates from what 1t was in 1916. The
Percheron and standard bred breeds
showed the most marked decrease.
The great decrease in the registration
Of standard breds was to be expected
and is but further evidence that the
automobile has very largely replaced
the light harness horse. There were
400 less Percheron stations enrolled,
IA fact which authorities attribute to
the great number of sales from this
state to the western and northwestern
states. rather than from the effects of
increased use of automobile trucks
and tractors The most encouraging
feature of the decrease is that the
percentage Of pure bred horses has
gone up until it is now rs per cent.
Fifty-two per cent OF all the jacks reg
istered are pure bred, as compared
with per cent in 1912. This advance
in the breeding of horses Is evidence
that the farmers of Iowa are becom-
ing awake to the fact that 1t does not
pay to breed from scrub stock.
Authorities who are in touch with
the situation say that the production
of food will not be limited during 1918
by any shortage of farm labor. Al
though the state has furnished $4,000
men for military service. the man pow
er supply has hardly been touched and
farmers have gone ahead with plans
for an increased acreage Of crops. The

husbandry extension men of Iowa
State college, Their estimate is based
on reports received from the county
agents. Out of IS counties from which
figures were received, go reported an
increase in the number of sows and
pigs on hand May 1, 1918. over May I,
1917. Fourteen counties considered
the situation as normal and II re.
ported decrease. Much Of this in
crease is due. say the experts. to a
larger percentage of pigs saved per
litter, due to better care and good
gether with a sight increase in the
number of brood sows kept. Earlier
the year considerable increase in
he number Of sows kept for spring
farrow was shown, but many men sold
mart of their sows because of uncer.
tainty over the car shortage. the poor
corn crop and the unstable hog market.
The increase in pigs is due largely,
therefore, to the greater number
saved, which ranges from to 20 per
cent in the counties. In a great ma
jority of the counties from 80 to 80
per cent of the sows narrowed before
May 1st thus giving the spring pigs
a better start and allowing for more
fall pigs. Three or four counties re-
ported serious shortage of corn for
the 1913 pig crop, but most Of them
show that from 80 to 100 per cent of
the hog men have enough corn for
their hogs. Three-fourths of the
counties have an increased acreage
of barley. ranging from 10 to 300 per
cent, which will help to meet the corn
shortage. While these figures are en-
couraging, the increase cannot be
made too great and every hog breeder
should plan to breed for all the fall
pigs possible.
Under present cattle feeding condi-
lions 1t is up to the feeder to Judge
whether or not his full fed cattle will
bring enough Of a premium to Justify
full feeding rather than limited feed
ing,' says Prof w. H. Pew, of the
Iowa agricultural experiment station.
Cattle are scare and high, feeds have
gone up and as a result many feeders
have seen the margin Of profit vanish
and have suffered discouraging loss
es.' However, from experiments con-
Quoted at the, Iowa station and from
the results obtained by various feed
ers there seems to be one plan of feed
ing which will still net a profit. Linz
! tied grain feeding with full amounts
of silage will produce cheaper gains
and greater margin of profit per
steer. These experiments show that
the cattle fed on a limited grain ra-
| ton did not sell for as high figure
as those full fed, but the difference in
cost of gains more than overbalanced
the difference in selling price. The re-
suits of these experiments show the
ever increasing Importance Of the silo
in beef production. The place OF sill
age in the fattening ration to insure
economy of gains has been fully esta b.
lished. Prices of feeds and cattle may
change. but at the present time the
market conditions will not justify full
feeding. Limited grain feeding with
full fed silage are producing the profit
able cattle Of today.
Iowa grain growers will be inter-
ested in the new federal standards for
wheat and shelled corn. which are to

who were formerly farmers. Women
are also assisting by their work in
canning and conserving food products.
Labor saving machinery makes each
man more efficient than in former
