LAMB CROP EASY TO
GROW IN MINNESOTA

Minnesota is ideally equipped for
sheep production, says Philip A. An
derson of the division of animal in
dustry, University of Minnesota.
Small f1ocks we'll husbanded," he
says, "are more successful than large
t1ocks poorly cared for. twenty-five
to SO ewes can be cared for nicely on
most farms north of the twin cities.
The farms where sheep are kept are
more free from noxious weeds.
''The labor necessary to care for a
small flock is negligible during most
of the year, the lambing season gen.
orally coming when the farm work is
not so pressing. Fencing has been one
of the drawbacks, the cost being the
first consideration, but very good
fence may be constructed of three
foot woven wire with two or three
barbed wires on top. The housing
necessary for protection need not be
expensive. Single board walls with a
good roof is all that is needed, as
sheep need not be protected from the
cold but from the snow, rain and
wind.
Lambs can be produced cheaply
under prevailing feed prices and
should be an attractive enterprise. "

GOOD PRACTICE NOW
TO FEED COWS GRAIN

Campaigns for better feeding and
better dairy COWS are in order at any
time, but the present is an especially
opportune time for agitation and
work of this kind, in the opinion of
A. J. MCGUIRE of the agricultural ex-
tension division of the state univer-
sity.
There has never been a time in
the history of dairy farming" says
Mr.. Mcclure, when it will pay so
we'll to feed grain literally as at pres
ent. A dairy farmer can afford to
feed grain when a bushel of oats and
a pound Of butterfat are the same
price. This year pound of butter
fat is double the market value of a
bushel of oats, and other grain is
lower than it has been for years.
"The success of a cooperative
creamery depends upon three factors,
sufficient amount of butterfat, the
manufacture of high quality of but
ter, and good business MANAGEMENT.
1t certainly is good business manage
ment for every cooperative creamery
association to urge good feeding this
fall and winter"

STATION PURE SEED GETS RE-
SnTTS


A QUESTIONABLE being circulated
among all farmers who purchased
registered seed grain from the West
Central Station last spring indicates
that almost without exception this
seed has given very superior returns
both from the standpoint of yield and
quality. Wherever corn or seed
grain was exhibited at County Fairs
which had been produced from Sta
tion seed, it was found to be in the
first rank and generally carried away
the speepstakes in it's class. Pract1-
cally every farmer reports substan-
tial increase in yield and advises that
he will dispose of his crop for pure
seed next spring. The Station will
have a larger amount of seed to dis
tribute for the 1922 crop of estab-
lished varieties that are now being
increased and as rapidly as possible.
The varieties include Minnesota 13
corn, Minnesota 184 barley, Mime
sofa 514 oats, Marquis wheat and
Chestnut soybeans. Applications for
seed for next spring should be sent
in as early as possible as the avail
able seed for distribution will be all
reserved within the next few months.

Time To Begin Growing Hogs

Prices for hogs are not what they
were and may not have reached the
bottom" says H. G. Zazoral, livestock
specialist of the agricultural extern
sion division of the state university
but with the mountains of cheap
corn available, hogs should and prob
ably will continue to be marketed at
profit.
Last year prices of corn dropped
so suddenly that much of the crop
was cribbed on the farms and has not
been sold. With this years large
crop, farmers have an over supply. 1t
has never been considered good busi-
ness to sell corn off the farm, and
with the present low price it certain
ly is not wise to sell it now. Corn
is the principal grain for hogs and

Foresees Higher Horse Prices.

Wayne Dinsmore, secretary of the
Horse Association of America, notes
in communication received at Uni
versity Farm that many farmers
pressed for money at this time are
selling their horses. "This disper-
sion of farm stock and the shortage
of good young horses in the country" +"
says Mr.. Dinsmore, 'is certain to
cause jump in prices as soon as the
tide turns. 1t is important that breed
ing be directed to desirable, efficient
types. This is of double import at
such a time, for when the general
trend swings toward horse breeding
in order to supply the necessary num-
bers, it is easy to lose sight of the
fact that just plain horses are not
wanted any more; that, to bring pro-
fit, the horses must be particularly
efficient for the work they are to do

FARM SCHOOL NOTES
From West Central School News.
TANKAGE MAKES BIG SHOWING

AAA@SAAAA~@A
A very striking demonstration of
the use of tankage in hog feeding was
made at the Morris station during the
past summer. Two lots of pigs con-
sisting of ten each were weighed up
on the 28th of June. The lots were
as nearly alike as possible. The first
lot averaged in weight 5000 lbs. and
the second lot 51.58 lbs. These two
lots were put on rape pasture, the
pasture lots being side-by-side. Lot
one received, in addition to the pas
ture, corn and tankage both self fed,
while lot two received only corn, self
fed, and no tankage. These lots we're
weighed out on the 23rd of Septem-
Der and lot one, the lot receiving corn
and tankage, averaged 1878 lbs.
while lot two, the lot receiving no
tankage, averaged $500 lbs. The
only difference in the handling Of
these two lots was the fact that lot
two did not receive the tankage and
there is the striking difference Of g.
gain Of 6S.3 lbs, more on one lot
than on the other in the same length
Of time and on the same pasture. Lot
one made an average gain per day Of
1.31 lbs. and required 3.2 lbs of corn
and SO lbs. of tankage for every
pound of gain. Lot two only gained
so lbs. per day and required 5.32
lbs. of corn for each day of gain.
Each pound Of tankage fed to the first
lot saved 6.38 lbs. of corn. The tank
age consumed by the first lot amount
ed to 1913 per cent of the ration and
they had access to it at all times.
This is a striking demonstration of
the use Of tankage in the production
of pork, but even the above figures
| do not tell the whole story. The Sec
ond lot at the close of the experiment
weighed less than 100 lbs. their coats
we're rough and the whole lot had
an appearance of unthriftiness. They
also rooted a good deal more than the
lot receiving tankage. The first lot
while trif1e light to be sold on the
market, we're sold and brought the
top price, while the second lot will
have to be carried for some time and
the chances are that they will meet
more unfavorable market, coming
in competition with the large run OF
hogs which appear on the market
later in the fall. A detailed report OF
the experiments which include other
lots on different feeds and pastures
will appear later.

County farm bureaus in Minnesota
are giving unanimous endorsement
to the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc,
wherever the national cooperative
marketing plan is presented to them,
according to reports from state farm
bureau headquarters.
"The U. S. Grain Growers, Inc, is

an equal share in determining the
policies of the organization" the
Polk and Otter Tail county Farm Bu-
reau associations declared in resolu-

U. S. Grain Growers and urge that
all farmers in the county join the
Grain Growers, as soon as organiza-
tion work begins in this territory, to
the end that the grain producers of
this county may play their rightful
part in determining the future poll
cies of the national marketing
agency"
The Polk county resolution was
signed by Carl Berg, bureau presi-
dent, and o. K. Berget, secretary;
and the Otter Tail county resolution

Co-operators Gain FL cents a Dozen


The Meeker county poultry demon
stration community at Kingston,
which is one of 10 in the state de-
signated by poultry specialists of the
university, recently netted So cents a
dozen on a small trial shipment of
large, fresh white eggs to the New
York market. The price received at
New York was FL cents a dozen more
than the price paid in the local mar
ket. Seems almost unbelievable,
doesn't it, but it's truth is vouched for
by County Agent T. G. Stitts of
Meeker county and J. E. Matson, Sec
retary of the Kingston organization
1t should be said that the eggs were
shipped in a car of butter so as to
save the express charges.
The Kingston co-operators also
shipped four cases of strictly fresh
eggs, graded as to size and color, to a
St. Paul firm which paid them six
to e1gh cents a dozen above the price
they would have received at home.
The Twin City market is preferred
during the winter because of danger
of loss from freezing when eggs are
shipped in butter car in cold weather.
Cooperative marketing of eggs, as
we'll as butter, has commended itself
to County Agent Stitts, who feels that
the county farm bureau now has op-
portunity to increase materially the
egg income of Meeker county farmer

more hogs should be raised on
many Minnesota farms. They fit into
about all systems of farming. 1t is an
easy matter to get started in the hog
business; the capital required is COM
paratively small and returns come in
within a few months. Money is
turned rapidly. If proper judgment
is exercised in securing good founda-
tion stock, strong herd can be bred
up in a short time.
Hogs have paid off many farm
mortgages and will continue to do so.

MATERIAL FOR ROAD MAKING
Careful Study of Amount and chsrao- ter of Traffic Is First important
 Essential.

Professor House of the Colorado Ag- ricultural college is one of the best known engineers in Colorado. lie has been head of the civil engineer depart ment at that college for several years and has always been in close contact with the affairs of the state In speak ing about roads, Professor House says:
 "A great deal of agitation is being carried on at the present time, con- corning the construction of concrete roads for Colorado. That some of our roads should be paved in this way, there is no question, but I think we should carefully guard against over doing the matter. In order to be justf- fable, road improvements must return in economic and social benefits an amount at least equal to the interest, depreciation and maintenance, over and above those of the old road.
 Tt is exactly the same as in ordi- nary business. The amount that should be invested in road improvement Is that sum which will give the largest annual returns in benefits to the peo- pie of the community
 Tt may be real economy to spend $20,000 per mile for one road and only S2, GOO per mile for another, if the for mer carries more than ten times the service and costs just ten times as much.
 Before we run wild upon the sub- ject of concrete surfacing for roads of Colorado the proper classification of the roads, and a careful study of the amount and character of the traffic
