MOST VALUABLE SHEEP FEED
Rye Stands at Head OF Cereals In
Protein Content, but Lacking In
Carbohydrates.

Whether fed as q grain ration, pas
tured. or cut and fed for hay. rye
holds a high place for feeding preg-
nant ewes at weaving time. In Its
chemical analysis, rye stands at the
head Of the cereals In protein content.
but Is somewhat lower In carbohy-
drates than wheat or corn.
This suggests two things In regard
to its feeding value: First. to feed In
combination with other things lack
ing In protein but rich In fat-form-
ing elements. like corn and wheat
Second. as a feed for young animals
In which a high development Of bone
and muscle Is required. For either
purpose II is highly satisfactory. When
sheep are wintered largely on fodder,
timothy hay, or other roughage, the
rye partly makes up for the lack Of
protein.

Of the kitchen is an important feature
Of modern construction. The large
kitchen of few years ago is no long
er found. This is particularly due to
the shortage Of domestic help, and the
housewife cannot take care of the
large room without help. AS result
the builder has reduced the size of
this room and hoped in doing so to
make 1t more efficient. The kitchen
In this home is built with all modern
equipment. Opening from the pantry
onto the porch is wall door ice box.
This eliminates the necessity Of the
Ice man walking through the kitchen
and disturbing the family, as he can
put the Ice In the box from the porch.
The bedrooms are all located on the
second floor. There are four Of them

completes the arrangement.
In view of the present shortage Of
homes and the crowded conditions In
many localities, families who have
such home as is shown here are In
deed fortunate. Too often In the con-
struction of dwellings the children are
overlooked, and In many cases are not
tolerated by landlords. However, they

~ food supply. The principal fac
tors in accomplishing this are the use
of seed boxes and hotbeds to give
plants an early start in spring before
seeds may be planted outdoors, the
use of outside seed beds to carry
plants for main-season crops while
early crops are occupying the garden
space, and the planting of late or
succession crops as soon as earlier
plants have been removed.

Agriculture believes that the home

AT this rate a pair OF rats, breed
ing uninterruptedly and without
deaths, would at the end of three
years (1S generations) be increased
to S59, 7O9,4S2 individuals.
For centuries the world has been
fighting rats without organization
and at the same time has been feed
ing them and building for them
fortresses for concealment.
If we are to fight them on equal
terms, say specialists of the Biologi-
cal Survey of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, we must de-
ny them food and hiding places and
must organize to rid communities of
them. The department has devoted
a great deal of study to the problem
and is anxious to help in rat extermi-
nation, not only by supplying bulle-
tins and other printed matter, but by
supplying the advice of specialists in
specific cases.

Pigs With No Poor Relations

How a Virginia farmer marketed
pigs heavier and more profitable than
he had raised in the past is told in a
circular, Better Sires for Virginia, Z"
recently issued by the extension divi-
sion of the Virginia Agricultural and
Mechanical College.
81 used to raise scrub pigs" the
farmer declared. 81 didn't think
there was much money in the hog
business because didn't make much.
Since using purebred sires l have
changed my mind. AS result Of
215 pounds last fall, when the aver
age scrub pig would hardly weigh
$50 pounds. Consequently my pigs
went to market early, while prices
were high, while the man with scrub
pigs had to keep his longer and feed
them high-p-iced grain while prices
kept going down"
The account is accompanied by a
picture of purebred boars which are
described as having " good father
a good mother, and no poor relations

the mixed" class.
If the corn is husked before she'll
ing, ears containing colored kernels
can be sorted out and used for feed

to have white corn for market is to
plant only pure white seed.
Soaring Values OF PlOw Lands.
When farm pillow lands increase IN
value per acre by one-fifth in one
year and by one-half in four years,
something has occurred that may be
called a phenomenon" These III
creases in value are indicated by the
Bureau of Crop Estimates. In
March, 1915, pillow lands in the Unit
ed States had the average value OF
$3.50; in the same month in 1917
the average was $62.17; in 1918 u
was S6S.3S; in 1919 $74.31; and ~
the same time of the year in 1920
$9O.O1, building values in all yeart
not being included in the average
The average value of 1920 is 5b
per cent above that of 1916, As per
cent above 1917, 32 per cent above
1918, and 81 per cent above 1919.
Hence it appears that by far the
greatest rate of yearly increase was
from 1919 to 1920. To the extent
that plow-land values are related to
crop prices, this lag in The advance OF
land values behind the advance in
crop prices is according TO rule.
Values approximately doubled in
the South in four years, and that is
part of the country where pillow
lands have low values. They are
overtaking the higher values of 9TH
err States. The least rates of advance
in values are found in the New Eng
land and Middle Atlantic States. In
the corn belt, where values are high
est, the upward movement is strong.
Among the States that have high
acre values for pillow lands are Iowa
with $219, Illinois with $40, Cali
fornia and Arizona with $3.50, Ne
braska with $125, Indiana with $119,
Washington with Sis, Ohio and Ida
no with sos, Utah with $l0S, and
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Oregon
with 500. Irrigation has made
high values possible for dry lands
in Arizona and other States.

Worst Pest In The World

The rat is the worst animal pest
in the world.
From its home among filth ii visits
dwellings and storerooms to pollute
and destroy human food.
It carries bubonic plauge and many
other diseases fatal to man and has
been responsible for more untimely
deaths among human beings than all
the wars of history.
In the United States rats and mice
each year destroy crops and other
property valued at over 100000
900.
This obstruction is equivalent to
the gross earnings of an army of ov-
er 200, 900 men.
On many a farm, If the grain eaten
and wasted by rats and mice could be
sold, the proceeds would more than
pay all the farmers taxes.

PouItrv Leads in Better Stock


Unusual interest in systematic
poultry improvement throughout the
country is apparent from reports
received by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture in connec-
ton with the Better Sires-Better
Stock" campaign. Figures collected
thus far indicate that more poultry
is kept on farms in the United States
than all other live stock combined,
and that a greater proportion of the
poultry is of pure blood than any
other kind of live stock
The records also refute the IRE
uuent assertion that most livestock
raisers take little interest in feather
ed stock, leaving it largely to the
women.
A Connecticut farmer who recent
" enrolled in the "better-sires" move
ment is an example of the interest OF
men in improved poultry. He listed
80 cattle and 1889 poultry-all OF
pure breeding. No other breeding
stock was kept on the farm.
