DECREASE INDICATED
IN ANIMAL PRODUCTS
Losing Ground in Value of Ex.
ports Since 1893.
World War Brought Percentage UP
Suddenly to 29.4, or Almost Double
What 1t Had Been in Pre-
ceding Five Years.

Animal products have been losing
ground in relative position in the val
ue of the agricultural exports of this
country since 1898. In that year they
were 29.S per cent of the value of all
domestic agricultural exports, and, by
5-year averages, they were 2S.4 per
cent in 1S941S98, 27.2 per cent in
1S99-1903, 24.8 per cent in 19O4-19OS,
and 1863 per cent in 1909-1913.
Then followed the world war. This
brought the percentage for animal
products up to 29.4, or suddenly to a
fraction almost double what it had
been in the preceding five years.
The percentages for crops and crop
products being complementary to those
for animal products, it follows that
crops gained relatively when animal
products lost, and lost when they gain
ed. It is to be remembered that values
are involved and not quantities.
Steady gain in relative position in
the imports of this country has been
made by animal products, and the war
accentuated the gain. From 1S94-199S
to 1914191S the fraction representing
these products increased from 27.5 to
39.1 per cent.

Cutting corn with machinery does
not reduce materially the cost of cut
ting. 1t does, however, enable the
farmer to cut given acreage much
more quickly, and, in that way, often
proves profitable. The proper time for
cutting corn in order to preserve its
full feeding value is so short ana
other work is usually so pressing that
the saving of time often means a
great deal more in the farmers pocket
than could any actual saving in wages
and other cutting costs. This is the
view taken of corn-harvest1ng ma
chinery by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, as expressed in
Farmers Bulletin 992, the Use of Ma
chinery in Cutting Corn. The saving
is greater in cutting corn for silage
than for fodder, the bulletin continues.
The two types of corn-harvesting
machinery, the corn binder and the
platform harvester, are discussed In
detail. Under normal conditions, it Is
stated the binder drawn by three
horses will cut about seven acres in a
ten-hour day. One man will b. re-
quired to operate the machine and two
to shock the corn. These three men
working with corn knives would prob
ably be able to cut about four acres
in ten-hour day. The binder, there
fore, does nearly twice as much work
as the three men could do without it.
Objection to Binder.
There are, however, limitations and
objections to the use of the binder. If
the corn is badly blown down, the
binder may not be able to handle it
and may have to stand idle through a
season. The binder necessarily knocks
off some of the ears, and it may be
necessary to send a man over the
field to pick up the ears by hand. Men
at first find it harder to handle the
bundles from a binder than to handle
loose stalks. Some binders drop the
bundles so nearly behind the machine
that the horses have to. walk over
them on the next round, and thus con-
siderable damage is done to the corn.
However, the specialists say, these OBJ
jections can be minimiZed even where
they cannot be completely obviated.

KEEPING FLIES FROM COWS
Mixtures Recommended by Dr.. c. II.
EckIes Applied AdvantageousIy
With Spray Pump.

The following two formulas of a
reasonably priced "fly repellent" were
recommended by DIR. C. Fl. Eckles
when he was professor of the de-
partment of dairying of the Missouri
university college of agriculture:
1. Fish oil / gallon, Oil of pine tar
2 ounces, oil of pennyroyal, 2 ounces,
kerosene " pint.
2. Fish oil 1 quart, petroleum 1
quart, carbolic acid l ounce
These mixtures, like the ready
-'t~od ores. are applied most advan-
tageously with a hand spray pump.
The spray is generally applied once
day, just before the evening
milking.

PITCHING SILAGE FROM SlLO
Usual Method of Removing Is to Use
Five or Six-Tine Fork-Carrier
Is Ideal for Pit.

The usual way of removing silage
from the silo is to use five or six
tine fork If the silo is not of too
great diameter it is comparatively
easy to pitch the silage through the
door. If the silo is underground and
too deep to pitch out the silage, it
can be taken out by lowering the
truck into the silo, filling it, and then
elevating it by means of a block and
tackle or by horse or gasoline engine.
The litter carrier is ideal for remov-
ing silage from the pit.
