Self-Feeders for Garbage Are Sue
cessfuIIy Used In Some Instances,
but Are Not Generally Recommended
Because of the Difficulty In Keep
ing Them Sanitary.
fected hogs which may be put into
garbage cans. Garbage-fed hogs show
no greater susceptibility to tubercu-
Iosis, pneumonia, or kindred diseases
than granted animals. Pork from gar
bage-fed hogs is as good in quality as
that resulting from other feeds, and
the average garbage-fed hogs sell at
practically the same prices as ordinary
granted animals.
The garbage from more than S,000.-
900 people is fed to hogs in cities
where municipal supplies of pork are
produced from waste food products.
If fed under suitable conditions this
garbage supply is sufficient TO produce
approximately S0,000,000 pounds of
pork a year. Generally, 1T takes about
80 pounds of garbage TO produce one
pound of marketable pork on the hOof.
The garbage should be collected at
least two or three times a week in
northern cities, while in southern cities
daily collection should be made during
hot weather.
The equipment for feeding hogs in
cludes self-feeders, troughs, or plat
forms, depending on the kind of gar
bage fed. Garbage fed on platforms
Is more readily accessible to the an
lmals. Self-feeders need constant at
tention to prevent clogging when the
garbage contains melon rinds or corn
cobs, or In case it freezes. Troughs
are useful for feeding garbage that is
semiliquid In all cases the feeding
equipment must be kept clean and san
Itary.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly IN direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies IN
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale

FACTS ABOUT RUST OF GRAIN
Extensive Studies Have Been Made in
Greenhouse at Purdue University,
Indiana.

Investigations of the leaf rust of
grains and grasses are being made by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture in cooperation with the Pur-
due university agricultural expert
ment station. These studies consist
principally of experiments to deter
mine the relationships of the leaf rust
of wheat, rye. and barley, the deter
mination Of possible biOlOgic forms OF
these rusts, the study of a wide range
of plants as possible secondary hosts,
and cultural studies of the leaf rust
of wheat to determine what grasses
may serve as hosts for this rust.
Extensive studies have been made in
the greenhouse at La Fayette, Ind,
where rust spores collected from nu-
merous species of grasses have been
sown on various plants which possibly
may act as secondary hosts. The ex-
istence of blologic forms of leaf rust
of wheat has been discovered. and 1t
is now known that these forms have
wide range of grass hosts.
In addition TO the greenhouse studies,
more than POO wheat varieties and
selections were sOwn in Tennessee,
Indiana, Illinois. and Wisconsin, and
several varieties resistant TO leaf rust
are being grown at number of sta
tiOns in the southeastern states. Prog
ress is being made in the breeding
of wheat for resistance to leaf rust,
and it has been demonstrated that
the high-yielding. hard red winter
wheat, Kanred, which is resistant to
stem rust. is also resistant TO leaf rust.

SILAGE is FAVORED
BY CATTLE FEEDERS
Rapidly Attained Use Among Pro-
ducerS of Beef.
1t Will Not Fatten Animals Unless Ac>
companied by Concentrates OF
Some kind-Most of Corn
stalk Is Used.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agricultural
1t has not been many years since
corn silage was considered merely as
feed suitable chiefly for dairy cows.
but it has rapidly attained a wide use
among beef producers in the corn belt.
Now all feeding that is not done on
pasture may be divided into two
classes-that in which silage is fed
and that in which it is not fed. As a
whole the two classes are now about
equally divided, but in some states the
difference is very marked. Surveys by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture covering the last two winters
showed that So per cent OF 1855 cattle
fed in Indiana received silage in their
ratiOns. 81 per cent of 7 $50 in Illinois.
80 per cent of $500 in Iowa. 8 per cent
Of 6, ,129 in Nebraska. and 80 per cent
of 1864 in Missouri
Where silage is used it supplies most
of the roughage Nearly all the silage
is made from corn, probably 90 per
cent of the total. Sorghum, sunflOwers
and legumes are sometimes used in To-
calities on the extreme edge of the
corn belt, such as western Kansas and
Nebraska and western and northern
South Dakota. A greater use of suage
depends largely upon the supply and
value of other roughage.
The main facts about the use of
s:lage in fattening cattle are thus sum
married. by the department: The
greater the proportion of silage to
corn the cheaper the gains. The
greater the quantity of corn the less
silage consumed. Silage will not fatten
cattle unless accompanied by cOncen-
trates. Ia silage most of the cOrnstalk
is used Cattle fed on Silage will eat
more straw or stOver. If purchased
protein feeds are added TO the feed,
the resultant manure is richer. Silage-
fed cattle do not finish quite as we'll as
those strictly dry-fed. Adding corn to
the silage produces a better finished
animal that usually brings a better
price, and it also results in better
gains on hogs that follow the cattle. |
cattle shrink more than
those fattened without silage. The
price of corn and the value of other
should be a guide to the |
limit of corn in a Silage ration.

FEEDING GARBAGE TO SWINE

Selected 1t Will Make Good
Quality of Meat.

prepared by the United States Department
of AEricuiture.l
More than 4000O,000 pounds of gar
bage-fed pork is produced annually
throughout the United States from the
feeding of table scraps and hotel
refuse. Heretofore difficulties have
been experienced In the economical
and satisfactory disposal of city gar
bage. The United States Department
Of Agriculture points out that the
use Of municipal garbage for the pro-
duction of pork offers a suitable method
for disposal of these waste products
and has permitted the repletiOn of
our pork supplies at low cost.
Garbage which is fed to hogs must
be collected with reasonable frequency
and be free from tin cans. soap,
broken glass, and other undesirable
or injurious foreign materials. 1t is
desirable always for cities to make
garbage collections and then dispose
Of it TO individuals, associations, or
corporations on a contract basis, un-
less the city operates its own hog
feeding farm.
longtime contracts are likely to
be most satisfactory TO all concerned
besides they effect the use Of a better
class of equipment and better sanitary
conditions. The pigs or shotes to be
fed may be bought as feeders or may
be raised on the feeding farm. The
latter method gives much more salts
factory results. Methods of feeding,
handling, housing, and care may differ
considerably so long as the essentials
OF sanitation and hog comfort are OBJ
served
Equipment for feeding should be
adapted to the type of garbage avail
able and TO local conditions. climate,
and transportation. AS a rule, raw
garbage is preferable to cooked gar
bage for the use of hogs. In case the
weather should be so cold that the gar
bage freezes, it is advisable to thaw 1t
before feeding. Generally the use of
grain as a supplementary feed for the
garbage is not an economical practice,
but it must be provided when the
supply of garbage Is temporarily short.
Hogs which are to be fed garbage
should be immunized against cholera
by the double or simultaneous treat

zation is very important because of the
presence of raw pork scraps from In

Seed Grown on Contract.
Although probably most of the vege-
table seeds are produced on advance
growing contracts entered into between
large commercial vegetable-seed dealers
and farmers located in more or less
well defined areas, only a small per-
centage of field seed is disposed of by
farmers in this way
Some farmers obtain good results by
advertising in nearby county news
papers and in agricultural periodicals
which circulate in sections of the
country that consume relatively large
quantities of the kind of seed offered
for sale.
Various federal and state publica-
tions and, within recent months, county
newspapers and agricultural periodicals
publish current information relative to
the supply. demand movement, and
prices of the important kinds of field
seeds when the principal movement of
each kind from the farm is taking
place The farmer who makes use of
this information has a better under
standing of the worth of his seed and
can meet the dealer on more even
terms than in the past, when the
dealer was almost alone in his knowl-
edge of what was going on in the seed
markets.
Early Selling Advisable.
There is no one best time at which
to dispose of seeds. The general rule
of selling when the buyer is anxious
to buy holds as true in seed transac-
tions as in others. Ordinarily seeds
men are eager to buy seeds as soon
after thrashing as possible, especially
if the carryover of that particular seed
from previous years is less than
normal
Most large seedsnen buy the bulk of
their grass and clover seed before Feb
ruary / and make purchases after that
to fill open orders or TO replenish low
stocks. Frequently higher prices may
be received after February !, but the
grower runs considerable risk in not
being able to dispose of his seed to
seedsmen as late as that, and con-
sequently of being compelled TO carry
1t over until the next planting season
or to sell ii to some scotsman who is
willing to speculate on il at price
usually considerably below current
prices.
BY keeping in touch with the
published seed market information for
the entire country and not focusing all
of his attention on local conditions.
which may be just the opposite from
those prevailing elsewhere, the farmer
can determine pretty well for himself
when it is advisable to sell his seed.
