PALATABILITY OF
VARIOUS PLANTS
n
Some Interesting Information
Revealed in Series of Feed
ing Tests at BeItsviIIe.
SILO Fermentation STUDIED
Wild and Tame SunfoWers Devoured
Readily When Removed From SiIo-
Cabbages Were Untouched
by Cattle When Sliced.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrculture)
A series of experimental feeding
tests conducted by the United States
Department of Agriculture at its
Beltsville Md) livestock farm, re-
vealed some interesting information
as to the effect of SLIDING upon the
palatability of various plants found
on farm or range.
During the last summer and fall
about $50 different plants and COM
binations of plants were packed in
barrels in a silo. The purpose was
to study the effect of the SilO fer
mentatiOn upon the fiber, and other
features of the plants. 1t was thought
possible that silage would overcome
Objectionable qualities of certain
plants, in addition to breaking down
the fiber of some which We're too
woody for stock feed.
Test PaIatafiIity,
The various lots of silages were
taken to Beltsvlle to test their
palatability as cattle feed The tests
were not prOtracted enough to give
final conclusions, but a number Of in
teresting results were obtained. Both
wild and tame sunfOWerS were eaten
readily when they came out of the
silO. although the peculiar flavor and
woody stalk of the former make it
distasteful in its natural state. Rus
sian thistle was eaten in the course
Of about II hours, and the same was
rue of ragweed, which cattle seldom
touch in the field Canada thistles,
and castor bean plants without seed
were eaten quite readily. Jack bean
vines and pods were eaten rather
reluctantly. The COWS ate sliced Aus
tralian salt bush, but not the native
plant. Sliced onion tops were fed to
four cows; two ate them and two
refused them. Buckwheat also pro
vided choice mOrsel. Cabbages
which in their natural state are
eaten avidly by cattle, were absolute
ly untouched when sliced, the prod.
uct being in many respects similar
to sauer kraut but without the salt
Giant rye grass went untouched.
Cattle Fed Regular Ratons.
The cattle We're not compelled tC
eat any of the sliced products tC
satisfy hunger, as hay was fed then

Margaret had sister a year older
who was to sing song at an enter

When the time arrived the sister
was sick and could not 60, so Mar

When she finished 1t the applause
was great. Some one near the stage
said You will have to sing It again."

Forelqn Wheat Yields,

The wheat yield Of Australia Is ex.
pected to be between 125,0O00OO and
130,OO0000 bushels, of which 100000.
600 are available for export The cur.
rent yield Is the largest since 1867
although not the record year. The
latest estimate for the 1920-21 wheat
crop of India gives the total at 23,60O.
600 acres, as against 2S,6OO,000 acres
for the corresponding forecast of last
year. The yield will be very much
smaller proportionately than last year

WINDBREAKS ARE BIG ASSET
Soil 10 Prevented From Drying Out
Quickly and Protection Given
Grain and Trees.

Windbreaks are In many ways q
farm asset. They tend to prevent the
soil from drying out quickly and they
protect grain and orchards from in
jury by the wind. A belt of trees near
the farm buildings protects them from
extreme cold and from summers heat.
Trees make the farm a pleasanter
place in which to live. The windbreak
may be also source Of wood supply
for fuel or for sale.

BEETLES ARE MOST HARMFUL
Covering of cheesecloth viii Afford
Necessary Protection for
Vines and Plants.

The striped cucumber beetle and the
12-spotted cucumber beetle attack Gu
cumber, squash, and melon vines
through the East. The best protec-
ton is to cover young plants with
cheesecloth-covered frames, which may
be made on barrel-hoop arches. When
the insects actually get access to the
leaves, a solution Of arsenate of lead
and bordeaux mixture Is effective.

Crude petroleum will spray better If
thinned with one part of kerosene
to four parts of crude Oil. Both the
crude petroleum and the coal
tar products often contain for

strained before attempting to spray.
One must be sure that the spray
reaches all the cracks and crevices,
giving special attention to the roosts,
dropping boards, and nests, and the
treatment should be repeated two or
three times at intervals of a week or
ten days.

POULTRY NOTES.

Don't expect 200-egg pullets from
10O-egg hens. Remember that "llke
begets like"
Keep lime always in reach, plenty Of
gravel or grit and good dry dust
bath for the fowls.
Excessive fairness leads to a suspen-
sion of egg production and predisposes
to certain kinds of disease.

BEST FEED FOR BABY CHICK
Careful Feeding Necessary In Order
Not to Upset Digestion or
to Check Growth.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Baby chicks should not be fed for
from "a to sc hours after Matching,
and will not suffer if given no feed
until the third day. The yolk of the
egg which is absorbed by the chick
when Matching furnishes all the nour-
ishment required during that time.
After the third day they should be fed
four or five times daily for the first
week or ten days, but they should be
given only what they will eat up clean
each time. Overlooking will do more
harm than underfeeding. Greater care
must be used not to overfeed young
chicks that are confined than those
that have free range as leg weakness
is apt to result in those confined.
The first feed should consist Of
johnnycake or bard-bOiled eggs mixed
with stale-bread crumbs or pinhead
oatmeal, using a sufficient amount of
the latter to make a dry, crumbly mix
ture. These feeds or combinations of
feeds may be used with good results
for the first week; then gradually sub
stitute for one or two feeds daily
mixture of equal parts of finely
cracked wheat, cracked corn, and pin
head oatmeal or hulled oats, to which
may be added a small quantity Of
broken rice, millet, rapeseed, and char
coal, if Obtainable. This mixture
makes an ideal ration, say poultry spe-
CialiSts in the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. If corn cannot
be had, cracked kafr corn, rolled or
hulled barley may be substituted. A
commercial chick feed containing
variety Of grains may be used instead,
If desired, and can be bought from
most feed dealers.

between sliced rations and they had
the regular portions of grain. The
tests were not entirely conclusive,
especially as the quantities were so
small that the animals did not have
an opportunity to get accustomed to
unfamiliar tlavors.
The department may make more
extensive tests another season on
some of the materials, as there was
no opportunity with barrel lots to
gain any knowledge as to 1.-The beef
and milk producing value of the
feeds.

L. G. Porter Re-Appointed Parish
School Superintendent.

There is an old saying that the
public is ungrateful, and that earnest,
conscientious work by a public official
cial is not appreciated, and is usual
ly unrewarded.
This is not always the case, how
ever, and an instance in illustration
occurred last Friday when Prof
Lloyd G.. Porter was reelected to an
other term as Parish Superintendent
by the Board of Directors.
Mr.. Porter was brought to New
Iberia in September, 1910, and put in
charge Of the Live Oak School by the
present publisher of the Iberian who
was at that time Parish Superintend-
ent.
From the very outset Of his serv-
ice here Prof. Porter has given al
unusual display OF ernest, palnstaklng
interest in educational work.
He held the principalship OF th'
Live Oak School for number o1
years until last Spring when ne was
appointed Assistant Superintendent
holding this position until the deatF
of Prof. l.. r. Tilly when he be
came Superintendent.
Not satisfied with attending to th'
routine duties Of the Office, Mr.. Port
er has interested himself in all schoo
extension work, bringing the schools
closer into touch with the homes an'
| livac of the DeODle
Through his efforts eight pig Club
have lust been organized in the coun
try schools, which with the supper
of the business men and the Chambe
Of Commerce, will be of great AM
lasting benefit to the parish as
whole.
Ten and half years of continu
Gus, efficient service is an enviabl
record, indeed, and the public Wi
commend the gentlemen Of the Boar
for extending this service for anothe
four years.
