FEEDING CATTLE IN SUMMER
Animals Have Seldom Been Marked
Down When Marketed Because
There Is Surplus.

The increase of chores in summer
will operate against a great increase
of cattle feeding during the season of
field work, for the average farmer
does not care to feed cattle night and
morning in summer when tired out
with the long days work on the land.
But If one cares to investigate, he-will
find that summer-fed cattle seldom
have to be marked down when mar
keted because there is a surplus Of
stuff in the terminal markets.
The ideal ration is made up of rich,
tender grass and grain. The feeding
period is shortened and the gain per
hundred pounds of grain is enhanced
as compared with dry-lot feeding in
winter. Counting all the factors in
the game, the risk in summer feeding
for market is far less than in winter.

AMUSED HIS NAVAL HOSTS
Lawmaker EminentIy Justified His
Reputation as Man of Some
Eccentric Doings.

One of the new members Of the
house of representatives, who is re-
garded as a somewhat eccentric per-
son, was a continual source Of aston
ishment aboard transport on her trip
to the bomb-dropping experiments of
the Virginia capes. Examining an In
strument aboard the vessel, and being
informed it was a range finder, he in
uuired how far it would shoot. Be-
ing loaned telescope to make bet
ter examination of the battleship Iowa,
he looked through the big end instead
of the little one and then complained
he could not see anything. He fol-
lowed this with denunciation of a
naval policy which permitted the pur-
chase of such useless things.
But the thing THAI interested some
Of his colleagues most was the fact
that he brought no baggage aboard, not
even toothbrush, so far as anybody
could find out.
"Why should l bring any baggageT'
he asked. "We're only going to be gone
four days aren't e?"-Brooklyn Eagle.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Culling campaigns in Iowa ana
Idaho have greatly improved poultry
methods in the communities where
they were carried on. The home DEM
onstration agent, comparatively en-
ployed in Marshall county. Iowa, by
the State Agricultural college and the
United States Department OF Agrlcul-
ture. states that many new poultry
houses have been built. and many 9TH
ers repaired and cleaned. In one
month, with the assistance of a spe-
cialist from the State Agricultural col
lege, 66 demonstrations of culling were
given, $50 persons attended and 1925
birds were handled from which there
were 3,O03 culled out.
Records Were Kept.
Thirteen egg records were kept Tor
two weeks before and after the DEM
onstration. The owners found that
2,219 birds laid 5,492 eggs before Gull
ing and that after culling- 1,527 birds
laid $3.50 eggs, which meant that 692
! were not producing. The "slackers"
were sold for Is cents per pound, and
netted $17722 for the farmers wives.
In another county in Iowa during
one month 90 demonstrations were
held in the culling of home poultry
fiocks by the home demonstration
agent in which 1888 birds were
handled and 1000 culled out, at say.

ESTIMATE OF LUMBER WASTE
BY Careful Cutting Much Can Be
Saved and Short Pieces Can Be
Used in Odd Places.

Don't FORGET to estimate the waste
in buying your lumber for building
poultry house. barn or other structure.
In figuring on common sheathing add
one-tenth for waste, and one-fourth
for matched flooring and all kinds OF
siding. By careful cutting you can
save much of the waste; and there are
many places in a building where the
short pieces can be used.
Don't buy too many nails. Ii you
do they are almost certain to be scat
tered around the place, especially II
there are children. Some specialists
in the United States Department OF
Agriculture prefer wire nails as they
are easier to use than cut nails, al
though the latter kind have greater
binding power. Use 10 to god nails
for framing; to 10-d for sheathing
cd finish or casing nails for clap
boarding, and Sd for siding. Four
penny nails are ~ inches long, cd
are 2 inches, and Sd nails are IA
inches. 1t takes about four pounds of
Sd nails to 1000 shingles; 10 pounds
of cd for 1000 square feet, board
measure, of beveled siding; 20 pounds
of 3D. and 25 pounds Of 10-d for 1,OOC
square feet of sheathing; 80 pounds
of sd for 1000 square feet of floor
ing. and Is pounds of 10-d, or %

MINERAL MIXTURE FOR HOGS

Speak a good word for your own
town and country whenever an OPP
portunity presents itself. More towns
die for want of confidence on the
part of business men, and public
spirit, than from rivalry of neigh
boring towns or adverse surround
ings. When a man is in search of a
home or business location, and goes
to a town and finds everything
brimful of hope and enthusiasm over
the prospects of the place, and
earnestly at work to build up the
town, he soon becomes imbued with
She same spirit, and as a result he
