Also, a small grain ration and some
hay keeps them fit so that when put

laid up from overeating. Feeding a
pound Of grain day for while with
some good clover hay will keep the
horses in good condition.
Horses which enter the working sea-

many Iowa farmers run the horses in
from the fields and hitch them onto
a disc and expect them to do hard

other injuries result and the horse is
laid up for the summer.

Poultry Give Good Returns.

In an egg investigation in Iowa
594J hens produced 19,S3S eggs in De.
cembcr at a cost of II cents per hen
according to the poultry extension
men Of Iowa State college. This in
vcstigatiOn is under way to bring out
the best and most profitable methods
of feeding and managing farm flocks.
These 5.94j hens produced an aver
age of 3.3 eggs each. They made their
owners a net gain of 1J.5 cents per
hen above feed cost for the month of
December. Irving King of Johnson
county was the owner of the, highest
producing flock. His flock of 3J4 Leg
horns produced 1891 eggs. an average
Of so eggs per hundred hens per day,
or 96 eggs per hen for the month
For these eggs he received an aver
age price of 71.2 per dozen.

Gravel Hunting Profitable.

Gravel hunters working under the
direction of the Iowa highway com.
mission located gravel pits which saw

Technically speaking the gravel
hunters were conducting a survey of
the road building resources of the
state. In this survey undevelOped
gravel deposits were examined in 81
counties and search made for entirely
new deposits were found and opened
up which were used as the sole sup
ply for number of paving jobs. The

Start Dairy Calves Right.

Many conflicting ideas are prevalen
regarding the time to take a calf ava!
from its mother and hand feed it, &c
ording to A. c. McCandish, head o.
he dairy department at Iowa State
college.
During the winter especially, the
calf should be left with the dam fol-
week following birth. This gives
The calf chance to get the .colostrun
milk which has laxative action OF
he digestive tract, and gets it into
proper working order. Also there is
tendency for the udder of the dam
o be intlamed and this is helped by
he sucking of the calf. Due to tho
weather young calves are often fec

ime they get it it has cooled off.
The calf when taken away from the
lam should be fed warm whole milk
-wo to four pounds three times day
After it reaches the age of three weeks
he skim milk can be substituted but
he feeding allowance should be in
'rcascd to 16 to is pounds.
Bc careful not to feed alfalfa hay
70 young calves as it is too rich for
hem and will cause digestive and kid

Calves will take small amount of

first and then later on whole corn can
be substituted.
AS soon as the weather opens up
allow the calves to get out on pasture
and at all times keep the barn clean
and give plenty of good straw for bed
ding to get the best results.

Feeding Conditions Change.

Iowa is changing the kind of cattle
on its farms and the methods of feed.
ing, according to the farm manage.
ment department. at Iowa State col
legc.
Increasing values Of land always
cause more itensified farming and
many examples Of this can be found
in Iowa where dair! farms are taking
the place of the old time beef cattle
farms.
''Thc Iowa farmer who intends to
make money out. of feeding beef cat
tie will have to feed those purchased
from the western states since the in
vestigation work shows that native
pastured beef loses money"

Get Horses out Of Corntield.

Now is the time to get in the horses
which have been running in the stalks
during the winter, and begin giving
them little grain, according to A
i. Caine of the animal husbandry de-
partment at Iowa State college.
Farm horses which are running out
in the fields need grain in order to
get their systems into the condition
which allows them to harden up for
the spring work They are now car
rying very little reserve flesh and the
first part of the working season will
tcnd to run them down so that with
no reserve they become thin and re-

Buttermalsers Are Happy.

Iowa buttermakers are planning fol
the best year in the history of tho
organization and have arranged for {:
series for educational programs to be
conducted among the patrons of the
state creameries, according to r. A
Rudnick Of the extension department
Of Iowa State college, who is also
secretary Of the Iowa Buttcrmakers
association.
Because there is a premium of :
'ents per pound for first grade cream
hey hope to show the producers that
it is worth their while to adopt better
methods in order to meet the new re-
4uirements for this class.
To get the patrons interested in the

agents, buttermakers, and dairy ex-

1arious methods of handling cream to

successful in the making of the best
grades of butter. 1t is planned to i'm

Solve Own Labor Problem.

Iowa farmers solved their own Ia
Dor problem last year by establishing
their own employment agencies in co
operation with the farm bureaus and
hired 1881 laborers last season. Sew

lege that they placed men for 10,SSf
requests. OF this number us were
for household help.
OF the number of laborers placed

advertising, 16 per cent through state
