Based on digestible nutrients, wheat
and corn are practically equal pound
for pound, according to officials of the
department. But corn and corn prod
uctS alone make a better feed for cat
tie than wheat and wheat products
alone. It is pointed out, too, that it
Is not necessary to grind corn as a
hog feed, while wheat should be coarse
ly ground or crushed. Wheat, accord
ing to experiments made in Nebraska.
has proved 5 per cent more efficient
than corn for fattening steers when
fed with alfalfa hay, a little prairie
hay, and straw, bran, and linseed meal.
Wheat Is Good Feed.
With wheat at it's present price, it
is declared to be desirable feed for
poultry, both as a whole grain in
scratch mixtures and in ground form
mixed with mash. Fed alone, however,
1t does not give the best results, but
should be mixed with corn. Wheat
may take the place of corn in rations
for dairy cows. 1t is figured that a
bushel of wheat is about equal in feed
ing value to a bushel of corn, so that
in cases where the farm value Of corn
Is only slightly less than that Of wheat
and where the farmer has surplus
wheat but does not have corn it may pay
him to feed wheat, since he will save
haulage. Wheat for horses should be
ground or preferably rolled, and must
be mixed with other feeds because of
It's sticky qualities which are brought
about in mastication, and also be-
cause, If fed alone, it may cause diges-
tive troubles.
On the practicability Of using wheat
as a hog feed, the department says
that per cent less grain is required
in the case Of wheat, but that with
corn at 20 cents bushel and wheat
at 70 cents gains can be made with
corn and tankage at IL to Is cents
less per hundred pounds than with
wheat and tankage. In general
way, it is held that the farmer might
be advised to feed wheat or corn ac-
cording to whichever can be fed at
the least cost per pound.

Rye Is Most Excellent
Crop to Pasture Swine

Rye probably is the best crop to use
for fall, winter and spring pasture for
hogs BY putting in successive plant
ings from two to four weeks apart it
is possible to have fresh pasture all
the time. Seeding for pasture should
be much heavier than for a grain crop
from three to four bushels an acre
on good soil. Pasturing probably can
begin six weeks after seeding, and may
continue, If the rye is not covered with
snow, until the following April.
Hog raisers can ''kill two birds with
one stone" by blowing under barn lots
and putting in such crops as rye In
the first place, hogs need good succu-
lent pasture as much of the time as
possible, and in the second place they
need protection against internal para
sites, such as roundworms, the eggs Of
which remain in the soil. Turning
over the soil in the lots helps to get
rid of the pests, and the crop of for
age makes it a profitable operation. In
addition to providing cheap protein
feed, pasture crops aid as laxative and
require the hogs to take a certain
amount of exercise which is necessary
to breeding animals and growing pigs.

Cure for Blackhead Has
Never Been Discovered

The United States Department of
Agriculture has this to say concerning
blackhead: mo positive cure for
hackhead has been found. AS in the
case of all other infectious diseases,
the sick bird should Immediately be
removed from the flock to prevent
further spread of the disease and If
very sick it is best to kill it and burn
the body Clean out the roosting place
and spread lime in the places most
frequented by the turkeys. Keep a
disinfectant in the drinking water;
potassium permanganate is most often
used, a sufficient quantity of the crys-
tails being added to the water to give
1t a wine color, which for every gallon
of water will take about as much Of
the chemical as can be placed on a
dime. IF the turkeys are being fed
heavily, their ration should be re-
duced, as overfeeding predisposes to
the disease The feeding of sour milk
hos been found to be of advantage in
I seping turkeys in good health and in
reducing the activities of the organ
lsms causing blackhead.''

Overlooking Is Harmful
to All Calves at Start

Better to underfeed the calf at the
start than to overfeed," says the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
The common fault of beginners is to
give a calf all it wants If it was pos
sible to feed it every two or three
hours, possibly ne harm would result.
After going for eight or twelve hours
without food, however, the calf is like
ly to gorge itself and develop digestive
trouble.
A calf which weighs fifty pounds
at birth requires about eight pounds
of milk day, while a 1O0-pound calf
needs twelve pounds When skim milk
is substituted for whole milk, do not
increase the amount in order to make
up for the butterfat removed.
A uniform temperature Of ninety
degrees is necessary for the most sat
isfactory results.
When it Is impossible to get high
quality milk for calf feeding, reduce
the quantity of feed. Calves will not
suffer so much in development from
underfeeding as they will from digeS-
tive disorders caused by poor milk.

Buttermilk for Pullets
Favored by Iowa Expert

How buttermilk helps shorten the
period between Matching and egg lay
ing is told by H. A. Bittenbender OF
the Iowa state college poultry depart
ment.
Last year flock Of pullets belong
ing to the department started laying
100 days after Matching. At that time
they weighed slightly more than old
hens of the same breed, showing that
they were mature About 80 per cent
Of them continued laying during the
following summer.
The pullets received no water, ex-
cept in the form Of buttermilk, from
the time they were Matched until some
weeks after egg laying started. Their
other feed consisted of dry mash
containing three pounds Of bran, two
pounds of cornmeal and one-fourth
pound bonemeal.
One of the greatest aids to success
full winter egg production is large
number of pullets in prime condition.
Slow maturing pullets will not lay
until the following spring.

Wisconsin Herd of Cows
Make Profit for Owner

A return of sal for each dollars
worth of feed consumed is what Wis
consin herd of IL grade and pure bred
Holstein cows made for its owner,
William Fl. Jaehnig Of Fredonia, ac-
cording to A. J. Cramer of the Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture. In one
year this herd produced an average
of 1928 pounds of milk, containing
5O4.3 pounds of butterfat, equivalent
to 63O.4 pounds Of butter. This pro-
duction netted profit Of $1,671.23
over cost Of feed, or an average Of
$15393 for eacn COW in the herd.
The average production of this herd
was the highest of the 1000 herds
made up Of over $4,000 cows in Wis
consin's 151 cow-testing associations.
Mr.. Jaehnig attributes his success to
the experiences he has gained in cow
testing association work and to the
influence of good pure bred Holstein
bulls.
The herd was MIXED three times
day for four winter months and twice
daily during the rest Of the year. Very
little grain was fed during the sum-
mer as most Of the cows freshened in
the fall and early winter and were
not, therefore, producing heavily dur
ing the summer months. The grain
ration used throughout the barn-feed-
ing season consisted of the following
mixture: 300 pounds Of corn and cob
meal, 200 pounds of ground oats, 200
pounds of wheat bran, 100 pounds of
gluten feed and 100 pounds of oil meal.

Tendency to Increase
Fall Breeding Of Hogs

TIE tendency seems to be to in
crease the fall breeding Of hogs more
than spring breeding. This tendency
has been evidenced both by the mar
ket receipts and farm reports for the,
past two years, especially in the corn
belt, and is making for a more uni
form monthly distribution Of market
receipts throughout the year.
The probabilities are that the COM
mercial market supply of hogs, over
four-ffths of which comes from the
corn belt, from the spring crop OF
1923. will be about as large as that
from the spring crop of 1922. II ex-
pressed intentions as to fall breeding
are carried out, even to the proper
tional extent of last year. the fall crop
of this year, which will be marketed
next summer, win be larger than that
of last, both In the corn belt and IN
the country as a whole.

Hog Prices We're
Very Low in 1922
Pure Bred Swine Business
Suffered Depression With
Other Farm Branches.

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture
Sale prices of pure bred hogs reached
q very low level in 1922 according to
a recent survey made by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Analysis of the reports on the sale of
J &c. 1882 pure bred hogs in 1922 indicates
that the pure bred swine business has
suffered depression along with other
branches Of agriculture The reports
received present a fairy accurate pic
ture of the business, in the opinion of
department officials, although they do
not represent large number Of ami
mails.
Number and Price of Hogs.
The number Of hogs Of the five
breeds on which reports were received
are: Berkshire, 1,762; Chester White,
1922; Duroc Jersey, 1856; Hamp-
shire, 1910; and Poland China, 6,232.
The average price received for each
breed, including all ages and both
sexes at both pirate and auction sales
was: Berkshire, $3O.57; Chester
White, $42.72; Duroc Jersey, 1851
Hampshire, $4442; and Poland China,
$41.94. Auction sale averages were
from $40 to $25 above those sold at
private treaty. This difference, it is
pointed OUT, is due partly to the large
number Of pigs under eight months
of age sold privately, whereas auction
sales are usually confined largely to
more mature animals and involve a
larger number of bred gifts, service
boars and bred sows.
Highest Prices by Breeds.
Sa4es reported at less than $3.50 per
head were omitted in calculating the
averages, as sales at such low figures
were not considered to be legitimate
pure bred sales. The highest prices by
breeds indicated by the reports were:
Chester White, $40; Poland China,
$500; Hampshire, $500; Duroc Jersey,
$3.50; and Berkshire, $3.50.
OF the 30,382 hogs reported upon,
421 brought $3.50 or more. These were
distributed by breeds as follows: Berk-
shire, 10; Chester White, 1853; Duroc
Jersey, 1870; Hampshire, At; Poland
China, 81. A few bred sows and gifts
sold above $3.50, but the average price
was about $50.
This survey is a new feature of the
new service work of the bureau of
agricultural economics, of the depart
ment, and is the first of a series of
surveys to be made at intervals of six
months.

Feather-Pulling Harmful
in Any Chicken Flock

Participating destroys a flock.
When a cock begins to look as if he
were picked on the neck and breast
you may then begin to watch for the
hen that is doing the mischief; and
she should be removed at once, as she
will teach the habit to others IL she
remains with the flock. Feather-pull-
ing is a vice that comes from confne-
ment and idleness. There is no rem
edy for it, but it may be prevented by
so feeding the fowls that they will be
compelled to scratch. They should be
fed meat and bone-meal, plenty of
grass, and a little salt, in their food.

Sweet Glover Excellent
Pasture for Dairy Cows

Sweet clover makes an excellent
pasture for dairy cows. Much more
feed can be grown on an acre of sweet
clover pasture than on an acre of blue
grass pasture. After the plants get
well started, drought has very little
effect on it's growth. However, sweet
clover will not grow on sour soil and it
will be waste of time and money to
make the attempt unless your land is
sweet. Better have your farm bureau
test your soil and if it is sour apply
several tons Of ground limestone per
acre.
It is best to sow it in the spring
with barley or oats. Usually by about
September the sweet clover will be
about foot high and can then be pas
ture for about six weeks. The next
summer it can be pastured the entire
season. Sweet clover is bfannual
and will last only two years. The seed
should be inoculated before it is soWT.

Estimate of Kentucky
Blue Grass Seed Crop

According to a report issued by the
bureau of agricultural economics, Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture,
the production of blue grass seed in
the Kentucky and Missouri districts is
estimated at 100000 to $4,000 bushels
of roughly cured seed. This is approx
mately 60 per cent of last years crop.
The acreage of blue grass stripped
both in Kentucky and Missouri was
fully equal to that of 2 year ago and
the 40 per cent reduction in the amount
harvested was due to unfavorable
weather conditions early in the spring.
The report also states that Kentucky
has a large carry-over of seed from
last year, the amount being estimated
at $4,000 bushels of rough cured seed.
Adding this carry-over TO the crop har-
vested this year, 1t appears that the
total amount of blue grass seed avail
able this year is fully equal to the 1922
crop.

Galvanized Iron Very
Apt to Cause Illness
Warning Issued by Experts
Against Use of Utensils.

prepared by the United States Departments
of Agrieulture)
Do not allow food or drink to stand
for even short time In galvanized
iron vessel and do not use such a
utensil in making preserves or jellies
or as container for cider or other
fruit juices, is warning issued by
officials of the bureau of chemistry,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Some of the zinc with which
the bucket or utensils is galvanized
probably will be dissolved and will
not only give the food an unpleasant
taste but is very apt to cause sudden
and intense illness.
recent instance Of poisoning APP
parently resulted from the presence
of zinc in food Twelve men at the
Guam naval station each drank a bot
tie of root beer and Immediately be-
gan vomiting. Chemical examination
of the contents Of three bottles trans
mitted to the bureau of chemistry for
analysis disclosed the presence of sub
stantial quantities of salt of zinc in
each bottle. It is the opinion Of the
officials that even one-half the con-
tents Of one of the bottles would have
caused vomiting. The sale of bottles
from this shipment has, Of course,
been stopped and an investigation
started to definitely locate the source
of the contamination with zinc.
Experiments carried on by federal
chemists with quantities of lemonade,
orangeade, milk, carbonated water,
Washington city tap water and dis
titled water held over night in galvan-
lied iron buckets proved that zinc
contamination occurred in each case
The officials, therefore, warn against
the use of such utensils as containers
for food or drink.

Vigorous chicks come from eggs laid
by hens Of good breeding and vitality.
Don't throw or bury dead fowls
where there is a possibility of others
of the flock having a chance to eat
the diseased meat. Burn them.
Poultry will pay for a lot of milk.
Where milk is fed to hens and chicks
freely, there is no need to furnish any
meat scraps or meat-meal mashes.
When you discover that there is
something wrong with some Of the
fowls don't stop your investigations
until you have discovered the trouble.
Gapes do not usually trouble tur-

Sweet Glover Is Best of
Different Honey Plants

Score another for sweet clover which
not so long ago was regarded as nox-
ious roadside weed. Sweet clover is
the greatest honey plant in the United
States, according to G. G. Matthews Of
Illinois university's division of bee cul-
ture, who points out that the several
varieties of the plant furnish success
sive bee pasture from spring until
frosts in the fall.
''The yellow biennial comes along
about the time dandelions go out Of
bloom" says Mr.. Matthews, "and so
tides bees over the critical period just
before the blooming Of white clover.
The white biennial blooms after white
clover and lasts well into August HUI
BAN, the white annual, begins to bloom
soon after the first Of August and con-
tinues until killed by frost. The bee
keeper can keep a constant honey flow
in his community if he can but per-
suade the farmers around to grow all
three varieties Of sweet clover"
Mr.. Matthews tells of an Illinois bee
keeper who furnished sweet clover
seed to farmers when it was 50 a
pound until there were more than 400
acres within reach of his bees. From
this acreage he received a share Of the
seed crop and many tons of honey.
Some of his colonies yielded nearly
500 pounds.
'Grow sweet clover" Is Mr.. Mat
thews' advice to beekeepers. furnish
seed to your neighbors, study methods
of getting it started and persuade road
supervisors to leave it standing along
the roadside"

Silage Is Ideal Ration
for Cows During Winter

While it is not practical to send
the cows south for the winter, a very
close substitute for such trip is
found in corn silage. Every farmer
knows that green grass is the ideal
ration. Silage closely resembles grass
in that it is succulent or juicy and
runs high II food nutrients, especially
carbohydrates.
Cows getting good silage are better
off, in fact, than those on poor grass
Their coats are glossy and their gen.
eral appearance is that Of cows on
luxuriant grass.
An additional advantage in feeding
silage has been found. Milk from 81
lage-fed cows is richer in vitamine G
than from cows on dry feed Silo
filing time is soon here. The man
who will have herd of cows to feed
next winter cannot afford to have a
silo stand empty.
