FATTEN FOWLS FOR MARKET
Whether Young Stock or Old Soft
Feeds Will Be Found to Be
Most Economical.

For the rapid fattening Of market
fowls, whether young stock or old,
ground mashes or ssoft" feeds will be
found much more economical than
whole or cracked grains for the rea-
son that greater gains are made on
the former than on the latter. While
corn is very valuable In a good fatten-
ing ration, or other grains containing
carbohydrates in large proportion, the
best experience has shown that it does
not pay to feed the fowls to be fat
tened on these grains alone. More or
less Of balance" must be main
tanned In order to secure the best re-
suits, even in a fattening ration.
A very good fattening mash ration
is as follows: Fifty per cent corn
meal, 25 per cent wheat bran and 20
per cent ground oats, to which is add
ed sufficient sweet milk to make a
moist, crumbly, but not sloppy, mix
ture. This is fed IN clean pans sew
eral times a day. Persuade the fowls
to eat as much as possible by feeding
little and feeding often. Some COM
mercial feeders even use examining"
machines to force the fowls to eat
greater quantities than their appe-
tites would normally lead them to
eat.

Agricultural Official Sees Great Need
for Narrowing the Margin
in Marketing.

Wool growing will come back to
something like its old place among
Wisconsin industries:
If wool and junk are enabled to
part company;
If a product of superior quality is
produced; and
If systems of marketing are devel-
oped to narrow the wide margin be-
tween what the farmer receives and
what the manufactures pays for the
wool.
This is the prediction made by Ell.
L. Russell, head of the agricultural
staff of the University Of wisconsin.
After investigating ways in which
Wisconsin clips have been and are
being marketed, Russell concluded
that there is a great need of improve
ment
Closer acquaintance with both pri-
waite and cooperative methods of mar
keting wool convinced him upon these
points
If the buyer is purchasing wool on
a wide range the grover is 1nt realiz-
ing sufficient returns.
If the dealer buys from one man at
higher price per pound than he pays
another for the same grade inequality
will result.
If farmers join together and pool
their product for sale they will have
to do some of the same work that
any other middleman performs.
If they can do this cheaper it is
their right and privilege; but
If they cannot operate as cheaply,
then ultimately their method will not
prevail.
Wisconsin, according to Russell,
produces annually almost three and
one-half million pounds of wool. He
regards the state, by reason of its fine
climate, soil and people, as splendidly
adapted to the production of wool of
unusual merit.
Grade and quality, in the opinion of
Russell, are big factors affecting the
prices of WOOL He believes the
grower should be in position to know
what the market wants and how his
wool will grade in that market.

For lower temperatures the smaller
opening on the bottom board is best.
Every cover should be tightly sealed
and there should be sufficient stores in
the hive at the beginning so that the
bees will not need to be disturbed dur
ing the winter.
A few beekeepers winter bees out
Of doors without any packing at all,
and, strange as it may be, some of the
colonies manage to survive. However,
the loss usually runs from 20 to 100
per cent and the crop production from
the remaining colonies is comparative
| ly low.
Packing the Cases.
The majority of Wisconsin beekeep-
ers winter their bees in cellars, but
number use packing cases.
Few beekeepers use more than SIX
inches of packing all around, and many
pack with only three or four. 1t is diff
fcult to recommend the number of
hives to be packed, because, when the
packing is properly done, it seems to

cost of the packing cases.
In Sheboygan county, where out
door wintering is more generally prac-
ticed than elsewhere in the state, and
with the greatest success, hives are
packed singly and only two to three
inches of packing are given. All She.
boygan county beekeepers cover each
hive carefully with several wrappings
of newspapers, and then fill with pack
ing. In every case observed where bees
were packed in this manner, winter
losses have been comparatively small.
Sawdust and shavings make good
packing if properly managed. Shay
ings should be packed in tight, while
sawdust should be put in loose. Leaves
serve the purpose well, but should be
closely packed.
1t is very important that the cases
be watertight, SO that water cannot en-
ter and freeze and thereby damage the
power of insulation.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Beef production in the United States
has undergone marked changes since
1850, and chief among them is the diff
ference in age to which animals des-
tined for slaughter are kept on the
farms. This is one of the many phases
Of the industry discussed in the 1921
Yearbook article, Our Beef Supply,
prepared by live stock specialists and
economists in the Department of Agri-
culture. This change is discussed in
connection with variations in the de-
mands of consumers and the per cap
tia consumption of beef
With a larger proportion of beef
cows kept, and with cattle slaugh-
tered at an earlier age, it is now pos
sible to raise more beef each year
than when there were more cattle
in the country than at present. How
ever, the system of using younger cat
tie for beef involves the use of more
harvested feed per 100 pounds of beef
produced, since a larger proportion of
the gains in weight are made in the
feed lot than was formerly the case
when steers were carried four or five
seasons on grass.
Situation Not Serious.
While the total number of cattle in
the country has decreased in recent
years, the situation is not as serious
as might appear, since the number of
cattle is greater now than in any year
from 1896 to 1917. The. census figures
for 1900 and 1920 show that there has
been an increase in the percentages of
beef calves, heifers, cows and bulls,
and a decrease in the percentage of
steers, especially aged steers. The
number of cattle in the country in
creased 100000 from 1914 to 1919.
During the last three years there has
been a decrease Of 100000 head but
the greater proportion of cows at pres
ent makes it possible to grow more
beef, especially if more of the calves,
out as yearlings.
That the country can readily respond
to quickened demand for beef
was demonstrated during the war
when production was so stimulated
that during 1917 and 1913 combined
more than 1,OOO,OO0,0o0 pounds of beef
were exported, which was z per cent
Of our production and % per cent Of
the exports of the world during that
period. Since about 1905 South Amer
lea and Australia have been the chief
sources of surplus beef

Advantage of Standardization Is

Shippers and Producers Organizations
Which Have Adopted Federal Grades
for Fruits and Vegetables
Are Pleased.

of Agricultural
"The advantage of standardization
is no longer a theory but an accom-
plished fact. Our selling price was
from Is to so cents per bushel higher
than the other houses in this district,
and the greatest advantages of a
standard grade and pack will, of
course, be secured in coming seasons,
provided we maintain our standards"
This is but one of the many letters
being received by the bureau Of agri-
cultural economics, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, from pro-
ducers' and shippers organizations
which have adopted federal grades
for fruits and vegetables. The letter
is from a cooperative peach shippers
organization in Ohio.
'We packed out our entire crop on
the United States grades" wrote the
president of the organization. "All
our members are well pleased and,
best of all, determined to begin in
their own orchards at once to try to
produce fruit of higher and better
quality. We see no point at which the
standards recommended by your de-
partment for peaches are not thor
oughly practical, and another year we
will doubtless eliminate the old mark
ings entirely"

Wisconsin produces annually more
than 100000 pounds Of honey, worth
over $1,OOO,OO0. This represents the
work of $1,000 colonies of bees.
1t is estimated that from Is to 30
per cent Of these bees are killed
through careless or improper packing
every winter, resulting in heavy losses
to the bee men.
Officers of the Wisconsin Beekeepers'
association believe that successful win
tering with very little loss is possible
when a proper temperature is main
tanned during storage, when a liberal
quantity Of good stores is provided and
when the bees used for Wintering are
of the right age.
To begin with, they insist that every
colony should have a young queen less
than year old, whose greatest egg
laying period has not been reached.
Then, if the bees have a tendency to
stop brood rearing in the fall, stimu-
lative feeding may be resorted to so
that the queen may be kept laying eggs
until near the first of October.
During October plans should be
made to provide plenty of good stores.
At the same time the bees should be
protected; the amount, according to
III. F. Wilson of the agricultural staff
of the University of Wisconsin, de-
ponds on whether or not they are to be
wintered outside or inside the cellar.
If they are to be wintered outside it is
best to provide two hive bodies for the
brood chamber; if they are to winter in
the cellar, reduce the brood chamber to
one hive only.
Even Temperature Best.
If the bees are given plenty of good
stores and allowed to arrange their
own brood nest, no special preparation
of the hive is necessary, provided
either that the bees are well packed Or
that the temperature of the bee cellar
is kept near so degrees.

creasing the clustering space below is

capita than formerly, but the figures
show that when demand and prices
provide sufficient stimulus the supply
can be increased at a surprisingly
rapid rate The consumption Of beef
and veal in the United States de-
creased from 81 pounds per person
in 1907 to so pounds in 1915, neg
variation of % pounds. Between the
periods of 1907 to 1910 and 1911 to 1921
there has been a decrease in consump-
ton amounting to approximately 20
per cent.
The article contains interesting in
formation on the variations in demand
for different kinds of beef in various
cities and in the different sections Of
the country. High-class hotels in the
larger cities want prime, fat and fin
ished beef, while the average house
wife wants beef involving less waste
In warm weather the principal de-
mand is for steak and chops, while
the winter trade demands more roasts
and boiling beef. The orthodox Jewish
trade uses only the forequarters, while
Gentiles, as a rule, prefer hindquar-
ter beef.
Beef Consumed in East.
A survey made in 1920 showed that
at that time nearly 80 per cent of the
beef was consumed in the North At
lantic states, which comprises New
England, New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. The next largest amount,
or q per cent, was consumed in the
East North Central division. In other
words, more than So per cent of the
total consumption Of beef and veal oc-
Cured in the territory east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio
river and Maryland. The smallest
consumption occurred in the South At
lantic division comprising the states
of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia and Florida. Per capita con-
sumption varied from SO pounds in the
western division to 80 in the South
Central The North Atlantic division,
which was first in total consumption,
was second in per capita consumption.
This survey of the beef-cattle situa-
ton, which includes, in addition to
the discussion of consumption and
present trend, information on various
factors of production and marketing,
leads to the conclusion that the period
of liquidation is over, and that when
industrial conditions and retail prices
permit a normal consumption of beef,
cattle producers should be prosperous
again.

MUCH OF CORN CROP is LOST
Weather Conditions, Ravages of Plant
Diseases and Pests Destroy
Fully one-Third.

According to figures compiled by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture for thirteen-year period, out of
every hundred bushels Of corn that
farmers set out to grow, only 81 BUSH
els are realized. The difference be-
tween a potential crop and the guam
tity harvested is due to weather con-
ditions, the effect of seed and the
rayages of plant diseases and insect
and animal pests.
If it had not been for these destruc-
tive factors, the average crop for the
thirteen-year period would have been
4,374,0O0OO0 bushels, instead of $685.
100000 bushels, provided the same
acreage were planted.
The department points out that IL
these elements did not exist and the
corn growers were to realize 100 per
cent in results, the acreage would I'M
doubtedly be decreased and the total
production would remain about the
same.

MEASURES TO PREVENT RoUP
Proper Management in Feeding and
Housing the Flock Are of
Utmost Importance.

Roup, a contagious or infectious
disease affecting all classes of fowls,
can be prevented, says A. J. Durant
of the Missouri College Of Agricul-
ture.
There are three forms of this dis
ease-one with swelling around the
eyebalI and enlargement of the birds
head. Another is diphtheritfc, show
ing cankerlike sores in the mouth and
throat. The third form of roup is the
so-called chickenpox, in which sores
or scabs form on the comb, wattles
and bare parts of the head.
Proper management in feeding and
housing the flock are the most impor-
tant measures in the control of roup.
Bad cases of the disease should be
killed and burned.

FEED FOR SWINE AND SHEEP
Potatoes Should Be Cooked and Fed
With MiddIings, or Fish Meal
in SeIf-Feeders.

For feeding to swine, potatoes
should be cooked and fed with mid
dlings, tankage or fish meal in self
feeders. 1t is especially important
that the potatoes be supplemented by
these protein feeds for growing shoats.
The self-feeder method is efficient as a
means of having the pigs fed potatoes
and protein feeds in correct proper
tons.
Potatoes may be fed in small guam
titles to sheep in about the same way
as roots are fed to this class of an,

Gives Promise Of Becoming Standby
as a Stock and Soil
Feeder.

few years ago Wisconsin field
cyon investigators obtained from Can
ada a sample of Canadian Albotrea
sweet clover. This sample was soWn
on the university farm at Madison in
the spring Of 1920 with oats as nurse
crop. The plants came up readily and
would have afforded excellent pasture
In the fall of 1920; but the crop was
not pastured in order to determine its
value in 1921 as hay and feed pro-
Queer.
The Albotrea yellow blossom sweet
clover is much finer in stem and more
leafy than the biennial white blossom
sweet clover. Consequently it makes
q much finer grade of hay and, as it is
easier in maturing, can be cut at a
time when the season is most favor
able for haymaking. Notwithstanding
the loss incurred from hulling with an
ordinary threshing machine, the Al
botrea yielded u bushels an acre this
year.
This yellow-blossom sweet clover
promises to become one of Wisconsin's
staple forage crops. 1t has a decided
advantage over the Hubam sweet clover
both in abundance of growth and abil-
ity to grow on wide variations Of soils.
Moreover, it is not necessary to grow
it under cultivated conditions as is
done with the Hubam sweet clover, for
it will catch readily when sown in the
same way as the common red clover.
This enables people in sections of the
state where it is now almost an impos-
sibility to grow the red clovers to put
in a leguminous clover for hay and
seed. Seed yields are more than double
the amount of biennial clover seed,
and vet it can be grown on soil where
it is impossible to get a catch of the
biennial white sweet clover, Seed
which has thus far been cleaned and
scarified has been sent out to coop
orators in various parts Of the state
for conclusive tests of the advantages
If this promising crop.
