ECONOMICAL METHOD
IN THRASHING WHEAT
Task Should Be Performed Di-
rectly From Shock.
Grain That Is Handled When Damp
Will Sweat Too Much and Be-
come Hot and Burned-Commu-
nifty Plan Most Desirable.

When thrashing can be done early,
the most economical method is to
thrash directly from the shock. Thrash
when the grain is dry, either before or
after It has gone through the sweat.
II the grain is too dry, 1t will crack In
thrashing.
Wheat thrashed before sweating In
the shock will go through the sweat in
the bins, giving the grain darker
and richer color. Grain that is thrashed
when damp will sweat too much and
become hot and bin burnt. When grain
Is stacked II should be allowed to go
through the sweat before thrashing.
Community thrashing is desirable
where the farms are not large. The
individual farmer will get his thrash
ing done more rapidly and econom-
ically where a group of farmers can
own and operate a thrashing outfit to-
gether.
See that the separator is well
cleaned before the thrashing Is started,
In order TO prevent the mixture of
grain and the scattering of weed seed
from the nelghhoring farms.
Watch carefully the working of the
machine to see that the grain Is en-
tirely removed from the straw and that
the chaff is blown out.
Stack the straw, use II as feeu or
bedding for live stock, and so con-
vert II into manure

Results Of the Experiments.
The feeding tests were repeated
other years, under different conditions,
TO eliminate ms far as possible any er.
rors due to the differences In lndivid-
ual birds. All the experiments were
carried through for more than a
year.
One OF the most interesting expert
ments. and one of wide-reachlng i'm
portance TO the general farmer, proved
the value of feeding meat scrap, or
some product of th.s nature, to the
farm flock. Little meat feed. milk,
Ash. or any animal protein food is fed
to the poultry flock on tine average
farm. and as result very few eggs
are gathered during the late fall and
winter when eggs are high priced.
The experimental flocks which were
on free range were given mash of
toIh i1tui, bIun uuu iniuuilHSN, uhu Il
scratch mixture OF wheat, oats and
corn. This Is greater variety of
grains than Is used by many farmers
for their poultry. With absolutely
free range on land where there was
good chance to pick up bugs. green
feed and worms, the birds were able
to add much variety to their diet.
Other pens were given the same ra-
tlon, but with one pound Of commercial
meat scrap added to every four pounds
Of the mash.
Big Fact Brought Out.
Here Is the big fact which was
brought out: The flock which had no
meat scrap laid on an average 30 eggs
apiece during the year. This is more
eggs to the hen than the average farm
flock lays. The pens which received
meat scrap averaged from 125 to $50
eggs apiece.
Meat scrap Is not produced on
farm, and costs more than grain food.
but even At the higher price II pro-
duces eggs several cents dozen
cheaper than where no meat scrap is
fed. MIX products will give as good
results In increasing egg production in
the winter as meat scrap but II the
farmer does not have milk to feed, II
will pay him TO buy commercial meat
scrap or tankage for his flock.
