lege Of Agriculture and county ag-
ents, according to an announcement
by Grady Sellards, swine field agent
of the college under whose direction
the trials will be made. A total Of
seven demonstrators have already
been enrolled in Carlisle, Ballard,
McCracken, and Livingston coun-
ties.
Jan. 1, 1922 the farmers will
start feeding balanced ration COM
posed of one part of tankage and
nine parts of corn to growing and
fattening pigs. In cases where the
animals are to be pushed for early
market the ration will be fed in a
self-feeder since experiments have
shown that pigs fed by this method
make approximately nine percent
faster gains than those which are
hand fed. The demonstrations will
be continued until the animals are
placed on the market and will in
clude the hogging down of corn and
soybeans grown together.

Properly Fed Ewes Produce Bes'
Lambs

Ewes which are properly fed from
now until lambing time and are in
good condition when that period ar
rives are more apt to give birth to
sturdy, vigorous lambs and to have
the necessary amount of milk to
make their offspring grow rapidly
ing the coming months, sheep spe-
cialists at the College of Agriculture
say. Being we'll fed and having an
adequate supply of milk the ewes
are less likely to disown their lambs
than are the thin, improperly rour-
ished ones. Although the ewes
should not be given a fatteniEg ra-
ton they should be kept in rather
high condition from now until lamb
ing time, according to l.. j. Horlach-
er, sheep specialist of the college.
Ewes which have a considerable
reserve of fat when the lambs are
born come through the sucking
period in better shape than poorly
fed mothers since this is a period
when the demands on them are so
great that they frequently fail to
maintain their weight in spite of the
fact that they may have been well
fed. So important is the matter of
having the animals in good -condi-
ton that in case few of them are
thin at the end of the breeding sea-
son they should be placed in sepa-
rate pens and given an extra amount
of feed. the specialists say.
Grass pastures. oats or wheat
stubbles and corn stalks may be
utilized for feed during the fall
Sheep should be turned ON
these fields as early as possible be-
cause the feeds deteriorate rapidly
in feeding value due to rains. While
early sown rye is good to furnish
succulence and causes the ewes to
take exercise it is not a substantial
feed and does not have much fat
tening power.

cause they are improperly fed during
the winter. poultrymen at the Col
lege of Agriculture say.
Feeding suggestions made in Cir
cular No. ee issued by the extension
division Of the college call attention
to the fact that no one ration will
ut all conditions found on the aver
age farm. The cheapness and
availability Of the feeds should be
considered, the publication states.
Ready-mixed poultry mashes are
satisfactory and IL readily available
and not too high priced may be used
with good results. II corn and corn
meal are the only available feeds
dry mash of three parts of corn
meal and two parts of meat scraps
or tankage should be fed with the
whole or cracked corn. In this case
the birds should be made to con-
sumo twice as much grain as mash
by weight. Buttermilk or sour skim
milk if available, may replace the
mash entirely in the laying ration.
One gallon of either of these is suf-
ficient for 40 hens a day, poultry
men say.
A grain ration which has given
good results at the college farm is
composed of 40 pounds or "a quarts
of cracked corn, 20 pounds or 20
quarts of oats and 40 pounds or 81
quarts of wheat. Another is made
up of 20 pounds or AZ quarts of
cracked corn and 80 pounds or 80
quarts of oats.
A mash composed of 200 pounds
of shipstuff which is mill run
wheat feed, 100 pounds of corn meal,
100 pounds of ground oats and 100
pounds of meat scrap or tankage has
been found to be a good one to feed
with either of the grain rations sug-
gested. Another is composed of ESQ
pounds of shipstuff, $50 pounds of
corn meal and 100 pounds of meat
scrap, while a third may be made of
400 pounds of shipstuff and 100
pounds of tankage or meat scrap.
This last one is coaser than the
first and is not eaten as readily by
the birds. Detailed feeding sugges-
lions are contained in Circular No.

Feeding Plans Made Now Insure
More Winter Eggs

Despite the fact that winter is
still some distance in the future 1t
is not too early for poultrymen to
begin preparations now for careful
feeding Of the flock in order to in
crease egg production during that
season, poultry specialists say. The
purchase of feeds and the planning
and mixing Of ration within the next
few weeks VIII make 1t possible to
give the hens a winter egg-produc-

thus give them an early start to-

Improper Handling Causes Heavy
Loss In Farm Fertilizer


Figures showing that more than
SO per cent of the fertility contained
in the thousands of tons OF farm
manure produced annually in Ken
lucky is lost through improper hand
ling are contained in suggestions on
the care and handling of this ma
terial which have just been issued
by the agronomy department of the
College of Agriculture to farmers OF
the State. A portion of the many
tons produced is deposited on pas
lures where the returns from it are
not as great as on cultivated fields
but in spite of this fact the proper
conservation of this animal indus
try by-products is an important
phase of profitable farming. accord
ing to the suggestions. Kentucky
has sufficient livestock to produce
10000 900 tons of this fertilizer an
.nually which has value OF S4O,-
900, 900 based on the results obtain
ed on experiment fields of the State.
Leaving. the material stacked in
the barnyard where it is exposed to
teaching by rains is the one factor
responsible for the largest losses of
fertility, according to the sugges-
tons. Loose floors in stables and
the use of an insufficient amount OF
bedding to absorb liquid materials
are other factors which contribute
to a waste Of the plant food contain
ed in this farm product.
BY use of few ordinary prac-
tees much of the loss which is now,
taking place may be prevented, the
suggestions point out. Small expense
is required to make stall floors tight
and all farmers can use sufficient
bedding to absorb the liquid por-
lions which represent One-half the
total value of the material, agrono-
my specialists OF the college say.
Hauling and spreading the manure
rather than placing it in piles as
soon as it is removed from the sta
bles represents another means which
farmers can take to prevent losses.
When spread on sod land or on
growing crop such as wheat there
will be less loss in the field than
anywhere else. D
Spreading the manure on corn
and tobacco land is the most profita-
BILE use to which the material can
be put. Both of these crops need
the nitrogen aud organic matter
which the material contains. Best
results are obtained when the man
ure is spread thinly to cover as
many acres as possible. Manure sup
plemented with acid phosphate is
the best fertilizer for poor soils. the
suggestions point out.

Hot School Lunch Gives Rural Pupils
Real Meal
FARM

FARM
Rural school boys and girls who
get no real pleasure and benefit dur
ing the winter from eating the cold
lunch brought from home can be
given a real meal by means of the
hot school lunch plan which is al
ready being used in many rural
schools of the State. according to
home economics specialists at the
College of Agriculture. The desir-
ability of at least one hot dish to
supplement the cold lunch brought
hy The children is DOW generally ac-
cepted and the popularity of the
plan demonstrated by. the rapidly in
creasing number of schools which
are using it. The hot school lunch
is of extreme Importance in the
State in veiw of the fact that for
years many of school children have
had to work and grow as best they
could on little more than two meals
a day. The carelessly prepared and
hastily eaten cold lunch which takes
the place of the MONDAY meal can
not be expected to do the duty of the
substantial dinner which the child
should have at noon, the specialists
say.
1.-The school lunch is not just
matter of providing food but it is
a means of teaching boys and girls
to eat in right way the foods
which are good for them," accord
ing to Circular No. 95. which has
been prepared by the college to help
rural school teachers in establishing
ton points out that by means of the
lunch children can be taught the
proper combinations of food, facts
about healthful eating. sanitation
and hygiene and good table man
ners. The lunch also serves the ov-
erworked mother in that it reduces
the amount of food she must pre-
pare to the lighter sandwiches and
fruits or sweets. The circular out
lines the organization of the hot
school lunch under the headings of
equipment, supplies and labor.
The equipment necessary for serv-
ing the hot lunch need not be
elaborate. In many country schools
the room is heated by large stove
which may be used for cooking and
where this is impossible an mex
pensive oil stove may be purchased.
The circular gives list of the
pieces of equipment necessary in
serving a hot lunch to % or more
each day. Food materials represent
the greatest expense connected with
the lunch but this may be partially
by selling the prepared food as
nearly at cost as possible. Com
binations of inexpensive foods which
are nourishing are given in the
publication. Interested women in
the community, the school teacher,
the home demonstration agent and
the girls in the school may be used
TO furnish the necessary labor for
preparing and serving the lunch.
Circular No. 95 also contains menus
which may be used in planning the
hot lunch. 1t may be obtained free
