POPULAR GRAINS
FOR FARM FLOCK
Corn Heads Long List Because
OF Abundance and Is Most
Relished by Fowls.
WHEAT REGARDED As SAFEST
Most Satisfactory Results Obtained
When Meat, Bone, Bran and 9th
er heterogeneous Feeds Are
Also Supplied.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricuture.l
OF all grain feeds usually supplied
to farm poultry, corn has been, and
still is, The most popular. This prob
ably is due to its abundance and rel
ative cheapness, and because it is the
most relished of all the grains. Corn
is heating and fattening, and when
fed to fowls as the only feed. fat rath-
should be balanced with meat, bone,
bran, and such feeds as are rich in
heterogeneous matter, in which corn is
deficient. When corn is fed to laying
hens that have opportunity to take
plenty of exercise and to obtain in
sects and green feed, more satisfac-
tory results are likely to be obtained
1t may be fed more freely during the
winter than auring the summer, say
poultry specialists of United States
Department of Agriculture.
Wheat Is Safest.
Wheat is generally regarded as the
safest grain to be fed alone. 1t is
not quite so fattening as corn, but is
too fattening when fed alone. Wheat
should be supplemented by the same
feeds as advised TO use with corn to
increase the proportion of protein.
Wheat contains little more protein
than corn, about the same amount of
carbohydrates, but less fat, and on
the whole is considered not so valu-
able for fla tening. but slightly better
for growth. Good grades of wheat
are relatively too high in price to
be used freely in feeds at the pres
| ent time. Wheat screenings of a
good grade can frequently be pur.
chased and fed to advantage. OF
course there is always the danger OF
Introducing weed seeds on the farm,
Burnt wheat" seldom can be fed adj
vantageously, the difference in price
between this and good wheat being
usually too slight to warrant its use
Oats Needed for Variety.
Oats. while not as good as corn OF
wheat. are necessary for variety
They contain more indiges ible fiber
than the other grains. Hulled oats
are relished by poultry and are excel

PORK DAY Is ANNUAL EVENT
Hog Producer Witnesses Sale of His
Animals and Learns Reason
for Different Prices.

Pork day is one of the big annual
events of Kings county, California. 1t
comes in October usually. In this con-
test the farm bureau center is the
unit, and every farm bureau in the
contest advances one carload of hogs
to be exhibited and rated by an ex-
pert judge. Every farm bureau CEN
ter must have AZ least six cOnsignors
to the load. thus preventing any big
concern from exhibiting a carload. In
the contest last fall six farm bureau
centers as well as a boys pig club
took part in the contest. Ten car
loads were auctioned in addition to
seven cars that had been in the con-
test.
The county agent leader says in his
annual report to the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture: There
seems 10 he no more convincing argu-
ment to a hog producer than to see
the actual sales Of his animals take
place and to know the difference in
price paid for superior quality ami
NAL
Farm bureau sales of this kind were
started in California in 1916 on the
initiative of the county agent of Kern
county. They are low becoming COM
mon in all pork-producing counties OF
the state. There were 175 such sales
in 1920. with sales aggregating 81 AGO.

1t Is often desirable to dehorn the heif
ers as well as the steers, especially
when they are to he fed in troughS
for a part of the year.
Calves may be dehorned when
few days old by treating the undevel-
oped horns with caustic soda or
caustic potash taking care that it does
not wash into the eyes.
If the horns are allowed TO develop,
1t becomes necessary to cut them of.
Clippers made for the purpose may be
used on the younger animals. With
older cattle a saw is best as it pre-
vents crushing and the friction of the
blade causes the blood vessels to clot
and heal quickly. The work should not
he done in warm weather, as the
wound may become infested with
screw worms. Where there is danger
of flies, Il fiy-repellent should be APP
piled.

lent for producing eggs, but are usual
ly too expensive. When they can be
obtained at reasonable price in COM
parisOn with other grains they may be
fed quite freely.
Barley does not seem TO be relished
by hens but may be used to give va
riety to the grain ration. 1t has lit
tie more protein than corn and little
less than oats.
Buckwheat is quite liked by fowls,
but is not widely fed. 1t may be used
to vary the ration. hut is usually too
high in price to be economical. Buck
wheat middlngs are rich in protein
and make a good mixture with corn
meal.
Rye is not fed largely, and does not
seem to be much relished by poul ry.
1t is supposed to cause bowel trouble
when fed freely. ~s

DehOrning cattle makes it easier to
handle the animals and insures that
each one will have more equal
chance at the feed trough. 1t renders
the animals less dangerous to attend
ants and prevents them from goring
one another in the feed lot or in
transit to marker. The practice Of de-
hOrning is almost universal so far as
high grade beef steers are concerned.

ARRANGE PLAN OF ROTATION
As Many Fields Should Be Established
az There Are Years for Fairly
Constant Supply.

In adopting plan of rotation as
many fields should be established as
there are years in the rotation, for
this gives a fairly constant supply Of
each crop. When crop fails sim
liar crop should be substituted, as
for example, oats for wheat, soy beans
or cowpeas for clover. There is no
other way to maintain a systematic
rotation.

Poultry manure is the richest ma
nure made on the farm, but on the
ordinary farm not much attention Is
given 1t. simply because of the small
amount usually made. Poultry ma

No General Rule Can Be Recon-

Differ Greatly.

There is no general rule regarding
the depth of planting. as different
kinds Of vegetables and different soils
necessitate different practices. The
smaller the seeds the shallower the
covering should be as a rule. In
