COWS REQUIRE GRAIN
AS PASTURES SHRINK

A COW that weighs 1,0o0r pounds
and produces three gallons of milk
a day must have at least 100 pounds
of grass each day, according to ]. j.
Hooper, head of the dairy depart
ment of the College Of Agriculture
In view of the fact that many pas
lures do not furnish this much grass
during the summer, some form Of
grain feed is necessary If the milk
production of dairy cows is to be-
kept up.
Farmers and dairy men are apt to
Overlook these facts in assuming that
milk producing cows can obtain
enough grass to sustain them Hot
weather and flies at this time of the
year in addition to the short pas
lures make it doubly important that
the COW should be given the neces-
sary grain feed. A fall in milk flow
at this time will be hard to bring up
later in the season it was pointed
out by Mr.. Hooper.
"A good grain mixture consists Of
four pounds of corn meal, two
pounds of wheat bran or shipstuff
and two pounds of cottonsed meal
Enough of this mixture should be
fed to keep the cows in good condt
tion. On the Kentucky Agricultural
Experiment Station farm one pound
of grain mixture is fed for each
three and one-half pounds of milk
that the COW is giving. Hay and ST.
lage are not feed as grass is counted
upon to take their place. A field of.
Sudan grass can fill an important
place in the feeding of the raidy COW
at this time of the year as the crop
can be cut and hauled to the cows
to supplement the short pastures. If
Sudan grass is not available, green
corn can be cut and fed at profit
to supplement failing grass sup
ply"
1t was pointed out that supplement
tai grain feeds and forage crops can
be used profitably only by dairymen
who have a market for whole milk
at good price. Butterfat or milk
for cheese factories does not pay
enough profits to justify the farmer
in feeding grain to his cows, it was
said.

IMPETUS GIVEN TO FIGHT
ON CATTLE TUBERCULOSIS

AS the possibility of eradicating
tuberculosis in cattle becomes appar-
ent to a greater number of people,
the campaign against the great live
stock plague gains impetus States
and counties that had given little
thought to this work from the eco
nomic standpoint are now taking it

the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. because they can see the
possibility of ending for all time this
drain upon their livestock resources.
The latest state to fall into line
for practical tuberculosis eradication
work is Louisiana. On June 29 the
legislature passed a bill authorizing
the state livestock sanitary board to
cooperate with the United States
Department of Agriculture, and pro-
viding an indemnity fund of $4,000
a year for two years. A small
amount of eradication work had been
done there before. but because no
money was provided for paying in

pusLIcITv AIDED EXPANSION
OF TUBERCULOSIS CAMPAIGN

When extensive campaigns against
tuberculosis of cattle were launched
many persons interested in the dairy
business predicted that giving public
ity to such conditions would alarm
the consumer and reduce the con-
sumption Of milk and dairy products.
But instead Of producing this result,
says the United States Department
of Agriculture. the increasing efforts
to improve the health Of herds have
inspired more faith in the safety and
value of foods from the dairy COW.
Hundreds of towns have made tuber-
culosis regulations to provide for
clean herds and to make milk whole
some and publicity has been given
to the various kinds of work being
done by cities. counties, states and
the department OF agriculture. AS a
result Of this work to improve the
health Of the dairy COW, statistics
show that the number 70 cows has
increased and the consumption of
milk is greater tina never before.
In recent months the most encour-
aging, development in the work OF
eradicating thisg reat cattle disease
has been the number of counties that
have made a complete cleanup Of
the herds on every farm. This area
work is demonstrating that complete
eradication. is not a dream. but a
practical possibility. The expense
will be paid for by more efficient
herds and better products.

KENTUCKY WHEAT CONTAINS
CAD MIXTURE OF VARIETIES

The majority of the seed wheat
sown in Kentucky during the last
year has been a mixture Of three OF
more varieties, according to Ralph
Kenney. a member Of the College OF
Agriculture agronomy department
This factor, no doubt. has contribut
ed toward the low yields which haas
been obtained in some sections OF
the state. Pure seed invariably yields
higher than a mixture Of several
strains, he added.
AT the present time, seed from
Ashland. the new pedigreed and high
yielding variety developed at the
Kentucky agricultural experiment
station, is the purest to be found in
the state. Despite the, wide distri-
button OF this strain over Kentucky,
an inspection of SO fields Of it dur

hitting on any waye-length other than
$50 meters will not cause current
to be set up in the receiver.
The portion of radio receiver that
changes the wave-Iength at which it
is electrically resonant is called a
tuner. Suppose that "A" station trans
mits on wave-length of 200 meters
and ''B" on wave-length of $50 me-
tiers. By adjusting the tuner until the
constants of the receiver make it cleo
trically resonant to 200-meter wave
or 360-meter wave, either of the two
stations can be picked up, but both
stations cannot be picked up simulta-
neously. This is the reason that more
than one transmitter can be operating
at one time and yet only one can be
heard on a receiver without interfer-
ence from the others.
The other necessary part Of radio
receiver is the detector. The function
of this portion of the receiver is to
utilize the small currents in the tuner
that are set up by transmitting sta

the medium of telephone receiver. If
the telephone receiver were connected
directly to the tuner the high-frequency
current would not operate the dia-
phragm of the receiver and even II the
diaphragm were set In motion 1t would
be too fast motion to be picked up
by the human ear.
In simple receiver the detector u.s.
ually consists of two pieces of mineral
in contact or piece of mineral in con-
tact with a metallic spring. Either
combination is known as crystal de-
tector. A detector of this type is moth
ing more than rectifier; that is, when
an alternating current is applied at the
terminals the current is allowed to
flow only in one direction.
