We Need Protein.
TO produce meat or milk, you must
reed protein! How are you supplying
protein to your hogs and cows? Some
farmers raise their protein-clover,
alfalfa, soy beans, skimmilk Others
buy it-bran, oil meal, cottonseed
meal, tankage. All livestock needs
protein for proper growth and devel-

sample of your soil to the County
Agent and have it tested; then figure
on how much ground limestone you
will need for the coming year Lime
stone may be hauled during the win
ter months and applied to the soil at
any time, but it should be spread on
plOwed ground

says d. H. Reid, poultryman at the
Wisconsin Experiment Station. A
clean house with plenty of fresh air
means a healthy flock this winter.
Any of the common disinfectants
used as a spray will put the poultry
house in good condition. All sick
hens should be disposed of in the fall
for in close winter quarters disease
