age, alfalfa hay and block salt. These
cattle showed a margin of profit OF
$23.11 a head over feed cost. The
standard corn belt grain ration showed
a profit of $15.S3, while the prepared
feed came: Douglas, $1432; Alfal-
fat. $1O.66; Champion Molasses Feed,
1927. The other two lots, fed on
CJMCO Alfalfa Molasses Feed and
Golden Rule Molasscs Feed, actually
lost $14.14 and $5,27 respectively for
each steer, after all feed costs had been
taken OUT This is exclusive Of profits
of hogs behind the steers, which how
ever, leaves the relation the same.
While the standard corn belt grain
ration actually put more pounds on the
steers fed by it, grain costs made it
more economical to feed the ..'No-grain"
ration, despite the fact that the steers
put on "a of a pound less day. These
''N0-grain'' cattle were fed three
pounds of linseed oil meal head daily,
given in two feeds of silage, plus corn
silage full fed twice daily, plus what
alfalfa hay the steers would clean up
over night and block salt at free will.

Selecting Superior Spuds.

To select strains Of potatoes which
are best adapted for commercial prod
uction, the United States department
|of agriculture and cooperating state
agencies are conducting extensive ex-
periments in seed improvement. Trials
are being made. in Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Oregon, Washington,
Maine, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma,
and Arkansas. Several strains Of the
leading commercial varieties now
grown in the north are under test, the
purpose being to study them carefully
under actual growing and harvest con-
.ditions in the field, and to select the
best strain of seed of each commercial
variety. The following year each strain
will be grown on large scale. AS the
supply of seed stock permits, the seed
is to be distributed among growers and
seedslnen, ana lin this way is to be
gradually popularized and disseminat-
ed. This investigation will be of coun-
try-wide significance in improving the
future stocks of seed potatoes.

Corn Belt Ration Wins.

Prepared cattle feeds bowed down to
the old fashioned corn belt ration in
results announced before 700 entllusi-
astic farmers at the fourth annual
Cattle Feeders Day held Mt Iowa State
college. Seven lots Of FIVE steers each
which were fed on different rations,
showed that ''No-grain" feed was
most profitable. This winning lot
was fed by Iowa State College as a
test along with the other lunches.
Douglas Corn Gluten Feed, Champ
ion Molasses Feed, CJMCO Alfalfa
Molasscs Feed, AlfaEfat and Golden
Rule Molasses Feed rations were fed
to various lots of steers according to
the best recommendations for feeding
that the manufacturers could make.
Along with this was a check lot fed
on the standard Corn Belt grain ration
by the college, as well as the "No-
grain lot which by figures of profit,
was claimed winner.

Corn Standard Rising.

Merchantables corn was S2.4 per cent
of the entire crop during the last 36
years. and the percentage has been a
declining one. In 1SSS-1s97 the mean
was SAG per cent; in 1S9s-1907, S34
per cent and in 19Os-1917, lSO.2 per
cent. The. standard of merchantability
appears to be rising The fraction for
1918 was s2.5 per cent, or almost the
mean for SO years, but above the mean
of the preceding 10 years. The highest
fraction in 36 years was 80.1 per cent
in 1906, and the lowest 60 per cent in

recently published by Iowa State coli

thing, according to the bulletin, that
must be watched most carefully is the
food. Rations which have proved most
successful are given. thus enabling
proper feeding according to the latest
experimental data. Other important
features, such as control of mites and

CLAIMS Fatten Hogs.

Roy Dickinson, a, Waverlyt Chin dig
ger, last year experimental with feed
ing clam meat to a bunch of hogs.
He took CLAIMS from the shells as he
gathered them.
The experiment proved. such a
success that this season he has bought
dozen small fall pigs and is feeding
them with clans at his camp over on
the Shell Rock. A
1t is said that, hogs fed. on this
diet make very rapid gains and as
the feed is a by-product which would
otherwise be wasted it looks as II the
feeding Of hogs on this ration would
result in big profit. His experiment
will he watched with interest.

Glover, alfalfa, alsike and timothy
seeds will be tested free of charge by
the botanical section of the Iowa agri-

All that is necessary is to send in a

On. account Of the present attractive
prices, much clover and timothy seed
of inferior grade is finding its way, into

prevent its being planted. !.

Steers Bring Good Price.

J. Il. Nickles of Wall Lake town
ship in Wright county has sold to
harrisburg buyers 20 head of steers
tlIat averaged $425 per head and re-
ceived $1S.75 per hundred. 1T is be-
jlieyed this is a record for Wright cOun-
sty.
While $1s.75 is good price to
pay at this time the buyer knew what
he was buying and said IL would top
anything in sight. One could be
blindfolded, taken into the feed yard
and put his hand on any one Of the
aninfhls and he would make a very
good show steer.
This fine bunch of steers brought a
little over $500.
Mr.. Nickles is to be complimented
upon his success as feeder.

If Corn is Poor-Test II.

Many people this year, in spite Of
favorable crop last season, will be
forced to test their corn before putting
it into the ground. Testing to a great
er or less extent Of every ear that is
used, will be like paying accident in
surance against the time when a limb
is gone and source of supply cut off.
Replanting and planting in is like to
a wooden limb that would be substi-
tutcd. sea
One thing to be especially careful Of
is to keep the ears all marked and sep;
arated, so that records are not con-
fused. With the rag doll test, where
kernels are laid out to terminate in a
damp rag, it is important that the
squares on which they are placed are
accurately marked, and that the kerr
nels do not slip in rolling the doll"
