try keepers to feed about / quart of
scratch grain and an equal weight Of
mash (abOut ~ quarts) daily to IL
hens of the general purpose breeds,
such as the Plymouth Rocks, Rhode
Island Reds or Wyandottes, or about
16 hens of the smaller or egg breeds.

Be Careful With Pastures.

Farmers should be careful that
they do not pasture their clover and
alfalfa too heavily ut this time of the
year" says +. G. Churchill Of the agri-
cultural department at Iowa State col
lege. 'The rains that we have recent
ly had have been Il great help to the
pastures and it may be the tendency
Of the farmers to use the good growth
that has come on
Heavy pasturing," continues Mr..
Churchill, would he great mistake,
as the clover and alfalfa would not be
left in the proper shape to go over
winter. There is not near the chance
Of d strong uninjured plant winter kill
ing as there is of a plant that has
been pastured closely"

DAILY MARKETS
Furnished by The Trans Mississippi
Grain Company, II. H. Audley,
Manager. Phone $40.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-The early strength
in corn was due to the settlement of
the English rail strike, and the more
optimistic reports regarding the health
of President Wilson. Cash corn in
moderate demand with prices unchang-
ed to ~ higher. The attitude of far
mers on new corn still continues to be
the chief factor.
Nebraska and some of Iowa report a
little oats being sold. After these are

Stock Records Of Counties.

In the nationwide campaign to pro-
mote the general use of pure bred sires
and better live stock, the United States
department of agriculture will keep
records Of the agricultural counties
according to the breeds Of live stock
which predominant in them. Practi-
cal experience has demonstrated the
desirability of communities cOncen-
trating on the production of only a
few breeds and types of the different
classes Of live stock. Such manage
ment not only enables the individual
farmers to aid each other in improv-
ing and upgrading their stock, but
also gain for the communities wide
regulations as centers for certain
breeds. The raising of several dDlni-
nant breeds in any community makes
that locality the mecca for prospec-
tive purchasers who are DESTROYS OF
buying animals of those breeds, and
also makes it possible for buyers to
obtain stock in large quantities.

When to Cut Corn for Silsse.

The feeding worth and palatability
Of good silage depends ON the quality
of the corn and the period Of matur-
ity ut which it is cut. Where the
corn is cut when it is immature. not
well glazed and dented, and still in
its juvenile stage, it makes washy,
low quality, acid forming silage which
is likely to sour. On the other hand.

before being sliced. investigations of
the United States department of agri-
culture have demonstrated that it is
much preferable, for silage Of the
