REPAIR FEED BOXES
AND HAY RACKS

In many instances animals do not
get the feed actually intended for
them, due to the improper and faulty
construction Of feed boxes and hay
racks. Many feed boxes are SO shall
low and small that much feed is
wasted as the animals eat from them.
In order to prevent this waste the
feed boxes should be repaired. They
should be at least Is inches wide and
"a inches long and IL to II inches
deep. 1t is often advisable to feed the
concentrates with silage to prevent
waste.
Hay racks should be constructed to
prevent animals from tossing or pull
ing hay under their feet. All hay
racks should have tight bottom to
prevent the loss of leaves and finer
particles Of hay. The leaves and finer
especially Of the legumes, contain
most of the protein and are, there
fore, that part of the roughage which
the onimals need. A few hours work
in repairing boxes and hay racks, and
at . very small cost, will result in
saving sufficient feed to maintain the
animals in satisfactory condition.

DiSlNFECT SEED DRILL
BEFORE USING
Folly to Treat Seed and Then Run
Through Drill lilrboring Millions
OF smut Spores.

The grain drill should be thorough
Is disinfcctcd before il is used for
seeding purposes, according to James
Godkln, Of the Colorado Agricultural
College, who says: What is the use
Of tr"atIng grain for smut and then
running II thru drill which may
have millions of smut spores lining
the box and other inside surfaces?
The drill should first be cleaned
out with small broom or brush. 1t
is then best to plug up the drill tubes,
sprinkle the inside thoroughly with
formaldehyde solution, close up the
box and allow it to stand SO tha. the
fumes may come in contact with
spores that may be adhering to the
inside of the drill. Every precaution
should be taken that the drill is en-
tirely free Of all the smut spores"
Gunnison news-champion., 1919-03-28
CARE OF BREEDING CATTLE

If it is desired to have calves drop
ped in the fall or early winter months
November and December-the cows
should be bred in February and March.
One way to insure a uniform calf crop
is to have both the breeding cows and
herd bull in good physical condition
at this time. A herd bull that has
been left with the wintering herd to
shift for himself is, as rule, in poor
condition when the breeding season
arrives, and the chances are that he
will not be a sure, vigorous sire.
The ration for the herd bull should
consist of a liberal amount of rough
ages, such as silage, legume hay,
stover, or straw, and in most instan-
ces, unless in good condition, q small
allowance of grain. The breeding cows
should be healthy and vigorous at that
time of calving, otherwise they should
receive in addition to liberal rough
ages and small amount of grain, in
order that they may give sufficient
milk to nourish the calves properly
and at the same time maintain their
own condition.
