Cheap feeds, such as straw and corn
slower, have a place in the horse ra-
ton. For growing colts and for horses
doing hard work these r0ugnages may
be fed in limited quantities, supple
mentary to a more nutritious ration.
A caution is timely in regard to feed
ing bulky roughages low in nutrients.
Horses have comparatively small
stOmachs and their digestive anatomy
is in no way suited to handle a great
bulk of feed. Little nOurishment is
derived from a pound of such rough
age, and in maintaining a hard-wOrk-
ing animal too great a bulk of feed
would necessarily be taken into the
body. It is therefore desirable to COM
bine with a limited quantity of slower
or straw sufficient legume hay, grain,
or other nutritious feed to meet the in
dividual requirements of the horse.
A small portion of some laxative feed,
such as silage, roots, bran, or alfalfa,
may well be included in a ration con-
tanning a large proportion Of corn
slower or straw.
COttOnseed meal has met with con-
siderable disfayor among horse feed
ers, but it may be fed in limited guam
titles if due care is exercised. It is

prepared by the United States Depart
ment or Agricul1urel
Although the Gambling method OF de
termining the quality OF eggs In the
shell is the best known for commercial
grading, recent investigations conduct
ed by the United States department Of
agriculture show that one group of
eggs OF inferior quality cannot be de-
tected by this system, and that 1t is
Inadequate in grading still another
group. The investigations. reported in
Department Bulletin 7O2, show that ex-
perienced gamblers and those using ex-
IRENE care do not make many mis-
takes in grading eggs. Eggs with green
whites and those having a normal ap-
peafznce but bad Odors are not recOg-
nizable by Gambling. White rots, more
particularly mixed rots, eggs with
yolks slightly stuck to the shell, blood
rings and eggs with bloody whites are
not always detected, and are included
in the group most frequently miscan-
died by inexperienced or careless work
men Eggs with brown shells or light
colOred yOlkS make detection between
good and bad specimens more diff
cult
In the studies with skilled Gamblers
who candled a number of cases OF 80
dozen eggs each, the average proper
ton Of bad eggs miscandled per case
varied from % in spring ffrsts to 1917
in very low grade cold-storage eggs.
The percentage Of bad eggs which
could not be found by recandling
ranged from none TO 6.93 per cent per
case and depended on the grade OF the
eggs examined In the commercial
Gambling of 12S,5S7 eggs. 1886 bad
eggs were found, OF which 71.65 per
cent were recognized by Gambling and
the balance, or 2S.35 per cent, were
not found until the eggs were opened
and examined individually. Then Ii
was observed that the 2S.35 per cent
was divided between a group OF HOP
per cent bad eggs. which in many in
stances are distinguishable by can
ding, and a second group of 11-33 per
| cent consisting OF types OF bad eggs
which cannot be discovered until the
| eggs are broken.
The accuracy Of Gambling depends
upon the quality Of the eggs and the
skill of the Gambler, according to the
bulletin. In plants having poor man
agement and poor Gamblers the number
Of good eggs in the discard sometimes
reached II dozen TO the case. The en-

GROUND SOY BEANS FOR PIGS

As a supplement to cornmeal for
growing and fattening pigs, the Wis
consin station found that ground soy
beans proved about 10 per cent supe-
rior to wheat middiings, figuring the
cost OF the feeds as the same. The In
diana station compared ratiOns OF two
parts of cornmeal and one part OF
soy-bean meal with cOrnmeal and
wheat middlings in equal proportions
and with five parts of cornmeal and

gases, low forms of animal life, min
ute plant grOwths often productive of
bright-colOred, fbrous masses and
scums, and especially when water is
of peaty or swampy origin, imp1 egna-
ton with iron. In short, investigations
indicate that only a small minority of
farm water supplies can be classed as
unqualifedly safe and desirable.
Diseases From Poor Water.
Among the ailments caused or in
f1uenced by contaminated water are
typhoid fever, tuberculosis, bookworm
disease, cholera, dysentery and diar-
rhea, and certain obscure maladieS
that may be traced eventually to the
poisonous effects of drainage from hui
man wastes. Figure 2 shows in a
striking manner how increased use of
pure water in Massachusetts, has been
followed by decline in the typhoid
fever death rate. Frequently a home
or village supplied with water from a
mountain spring or canyon is a center
of goiter, although the possible reIa-
tionship of such water to this disease
has not been proved conclusively.
Among ailments of live stock, hog
cholera, anthrax, and foot-and-mouth
disease are spread by moving water.
Hence sick animals should not have
access to streams, and dead animals
should not be left exposed in fields or
buried where drainage may carry in
lection to streams and water supplies.
Ones duty to himself aud neighbOrs
should Obligate him to confine all sick
-
dead ones or bury them deeply in
spots remote from streams, wells and
springs, and urge his neighbor to do
the same.
The vital things to remember are
that ground water is not stagnant but
moves usually, though not always,
with the 'lay' or slope of the land ;
that it's character determines largely
the character of wells and springs !;
that it is not an inexhaustible reser-
vOir, but that a given well yields only
as it receives; and that continued
pumping will not improve the water IN
well if the sources from which it is
fed are permanently at fault. In
short, ground water is natural drain
age variousIy modified in its move
ment and character by subterranean
conditions.
Safe Location of Wells.
Wells cannot be located in all cases
so that there may not be some pollu-
ton, but the great safeguards are
clean ground and as wide separation
as possible from the probable chan
nels Of any impure drainage. It is not
| enough that a well or spring is so,
| 100, or $50 feet from a source of filth
or that it is merely upon higher
ground, although even moderate re
moteness and elevation of the source
of supply are of service. Given porous
or gravelly ground, seamy ledge, OF
| long-continued pollution of one plot OF
land, the zone of contamination is like
" to extend long distances, particu'
| Iarly in downhill directions and al
such times as water supplies are low
cred by drought or heavy pumping
Only when the surface of the water in
a well or spring is actually at higk-
er leved at all times than any nearby
source Of filth is there positive assur
ance of safety.
Upon any farm a wood lot, grove
or windbreak is highly desirable. not
/ only to supply fuel and small timber
but for its beauty and the protection
it affords.
