OATS BEST CROP

On Comparatively Cheap Land In

ample has just been brought to the

Albert Inner, a wel.known farmer in
Cottonwood county, MINI. in an ar

Mr.. Inner says: 81 had curiosity

II cost him S31 10 to grow an acre Of
corn and Sls.13 IL to grow an acre Of
oats, or n difference Of S13.00 an acre
In favor of oats.
Provided the respective crop Yields
are not altogether out Of proportion TO
the cost of growing the crop. this
seems to he good argument in favor
Of growing oats. But to grow oats

Yankee Understatement.

A paragraph in the Companion about
the mild retort of the man who was
kicked by his horse reminded n sub
scriber of her grandfather's story of
John Teele. John was a Yankee team
ster, who was trying one day to get
log down from the top of the pile. He
tied n rope to the log; then that he
might stop the log before it rolled too
far. he tied the other end of the rope
around his waist, John pulled; the log
came down and snatched the teamster
halfway down the mountain. Some
weeks later John was able to sit up and
discuss the accident with Il sympathet-
ic neighbor.

/ RUBY IS JULY BIRTHSTONE
Gem Has Been Associated Through the
Centuries With Some Remarkably
Quaint Superstitions.

The ruby is the birthstone of July.
1t was associated in ancient times with
many queer superstitions. How these
old fancies originated or how they
could have been palmed or ON the pub
lie ii Is difficult to imagine. The fact
that the common people had implicit
faith in them proves how very much
more credulous the world once was
than 1t is today.
For instance, the ancients believed
that If ruby We're worn about the
neck it conferred the power of seeing
in the dark. One wonders what monu-
mental faker started this absurd CON
ceit and for what purpose. 1t was gen
orally believed, however, possibly be
cause rubies were costly and the com
mon people could not test the matter
for themselves.
The ruby also was supposed TO he Il
talisman against evil spirits, the
plague and poison. BY the deepening
of its color 1t forewarned Its wenrer
against impending misfortune. II tied

Whatever method will destroy quack
grass will also kill Canada thistle or
any other perennial weed.
Fallowing or cultivation without n
crop is the most certain method of
eradication on large areas and may
be used to good advantage except
on sandy soils and those continuously
wet or very porous. Success depends
upon the depth OF plowinC and fre-
quent cultivation. The prevention Of
all leafgrowth in weeds means their
certain death. Certain cropping sys-
tens will usually be successful with

FISH MEAL GOOD AS
SUPPLEMENTAL FEED
Excellent in Hog, Poultry or
Dairy Rations.
Bureau of Chemistry knowing High
Protein Content Of Scrap Has
Been Active in Converting
Material Into Food

The common domestic pig will never
be able 10 write n book on table man
ners but he knows how to order a
meal as well as anyone. He is in
fair way to demand fish course TO
supplement his salad and vegetable
diet. He will take his fish in the form
of fish meal, the refined by-prOduct
made from sound, wholesome raw
material at the sardine. tuna. and sal
mon cunneries, or from the mcnhaden.
The fish meal is not to be confused
with fish scrap a coarser by-product

made from clean, sound material and

tie and hogs. Formerly, the cannery
waste was all made into scrap" for
fertilizer purposes, but the bureau of
chemistry, United States department
of agriculture, knowing the extremely
high protein content of the scrap, Inns
been active in converting this material
into high-Grade protein feed. The
cleaned selected portion Is ground to II

used TO replace tankage in hog, poul-
try. or dairy rations.
! Fish meal has been recommended
as n supplementary ration before now,
but popular prejudice against n badly
prepared product has discouraged its
use. The department OF agriculture
has proved by feeding experiments
that fish meal equals the higll-pricea
tankage as n ration ingredient. and
better methods of selecting and milling
have removed the causcs Of prejudice,
The oil content of the meal adds
materially to its feeding value. So far
the experiments have shown that the

or milk. Moreover. by diverting thr
fish meals to his animals instead of
supplying It directly to his land as

Influence Of Feeds.
The green feed is sometimes left
out of the ration during the last seven
days of fattening, as 1t tends to color
the meat and may produce slightly

ever. 1t is easier TO keep the ducklings
in good feeding condition on II mash

replace the beef scrap, but should only
be fed up to within two weeks before
they are killed, as il may give u tishy
taste 10 their flesh. United States de-

suggest. A considerable quantity of
boiled fish is also fed in the mash to
laying ducks in sections where The
duck farms border on the water AMI
