TIME TO PURCHASE FEEDERS
No Hard and Fast Rule for Farmer to
Go By-Cattle Are Higher in
Spring Than in Fall.

Sim Bakers right leg was in tenn
porary retirement under a layer or
arnica- soaked bandages. He regarded
the injured member with CLINT Of
rueful humor and spake thus to a
neighbor who had dropped in for a
chat with the cheerful invalid.
Bert, tell me somethin'. How can
a Teller tell when mean white mule
named Anarchy is goin' to kick?
mean, how can he tell in time to Go
him any good?"
Human knowledge goes no further
than TO say that white mule IS al
ways goin' to kick. Is that the an
swer? Then let me ask you ques-
ton: How do you know whether to
buy your feeder steers in the fall
or in the spring? Do you make any
thing by feeding them in the winter,
and will you make more if you let the
other Teller feed 'em through? They
cost more in the spring than in the
fall. Is there any way to be certainY
Sim admitted that the thing was
past his comprehension and confessed
that he sometimes did the thing one
way and sometimes the other, but that
he never knew just how he was COM
ing out.
In reality, as to the time to buy
stockers or feeders, there is no hard
and fast rule. The usual time is in
the fall when they must leave the
grazing areas and go where feeds
have been harvested or stored for cat
tie feeding However, with falling
market, which no one can foretell with
any degree of certainty, the cattle
may not be worth enough more in the
spring to pay for the winter feeding.
Yet they have been kept largely on
feed for which there is no other mar
ket.
i Consequently, what Sim and his
neighbor should know is how much it
costs to keep stockers through the
winter on various rations, how they
lose or gain weight, and how they
gain through the summer as a result
of the way they have been wintered.
Being in better position to carry on
feeding experiments to answer these
questions than the cattlemen, the hu-
reau of animal industry, cooperating
with the West Virginia experiment
station, conducted a series Of feeding
tests in Greenbrier county, West Vlr-
ginia. The experiments began De-
cemher %, 1914, and covered a period
of four years, the results being now

this house can be erected without con-

Birds NuntiaI PIumaoe.

Many birds have plumage which
is peculiar to the breeding season, and
which is therefore called the nuptial
plumage. The egret, or white heron,
acquires during the period Of court
ship the exquisite plumes which have
very nearly led to their determination
by man. Among other species, such as
the scarlet tanager and the bobolink,
the striking plumage of the male bird
is replaced after the nesting season by
a suit of feathers much resembling
that of the inconspicuous female.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on it's merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has 80 many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and staff
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

published in department bulletin $40.
In brief, 80 yearling steers were Sc
lected each year and divided into three
lots of ten steers each. When the lots
were carefully equalized, the average
weight of the animals was 663 pounds
each. The steers were on winter ra-
tions an average of $50 days, and on
pasture an average of 158 days each
year.
The tests proved that an average
daily ration of 1913 pounds of silage,
five pounds Of mixed hay, and %
pounds of wheat straw during the
winter would maintain these steers
without loss Of weight.
An average daily ration of 23.l
pounds of corn silage, 40 pounds or
wheat straw and one pound of cotton
seed meal would give each steer an
average gain of 81 pounds.
A daily ration Of 11.9 pounds of
mixed hay and Al pounds Of wheat
straw fed throughout the winter will
not keep the animal in good condition.
This ration was responsible for loss
of 35 pounds per steer. Corn silage
gave better results than dry rough
age alone, and the steers that had
silage as a part of their winter ra-
ton made greater total gains than
those fed on hay and straw.
The cost of feed averaged through
out the four years was as follows:

So many cases of Rheumatism
come from a tiny disease germ that
infests the blood, that physicians
are beginning to realize that this
source of the disease is becoming
quite prevalent. Of course a dis

remedies applied to the surface.
