FARM
LIVE STOCK
Prosperity of Farming
Depends on Live Stock

Live stock provides an outlet for
three-fifths of the crop acreage in the
United States, besides 65,0O0,0O0 acres
Of improved pasture, 150,OO0,OOO acres
Of unimproved grass land pasture, 175,-
100000 acres of woodland pasture, and
500,0O0,000 acres of grazing land in the
arid and semi-arid sections of the
West, according to G. w. McCampbell,
head of the department of animal hus-
bandry at Kansas State Agricultural
college. All told, live stock furnished
an outlet for so per cent of the total
food and feed produced by tame and
wild vegetation in the United States.
Live stock, by utilizing advanta-
geously and efficiently the various pas
ture and forage crops, makes possible
a system of crop rotation that aids me-.
terially in maintaining soil fertility and
controlling plant diseases, insects and
weeds.
Live stock provides, In the form of
manure, the most reliable and practi-
cal fertilizer that can be used to main
tain soil fertility. The production of
grain takes from the soil large amounts
of phosphorus. potash and nitrogen
When grain is sold off the farm where
produced these elements of fertility
are completely lost, but when grain is
fed to live stock so per cent of the
phosphorus, potash and nitrogen is re-
turned to the soil in the form Of ma
Manure also adds to the soil thai
necessary constituent humus which
commercial fertilizers do not.

Angeles Mr.. and Mrs. Foor saw the
Mowatts, the Shepardsons, the Lam
bertons and other former local resi-
dents.
Our travellers saw many beautiful
cities and interesting places and met
many fine people. They brought
hudreds of pictures and other souve-
Mrs back with them. But on the
whole Mr.. Foor says that the highly
praised features of the coast country,
and all the country he observed, in
Guiding the climate, was decidedly
disappointing to him. Wealthy peo-
pie who move there are all right, and
trained mechanics have no difficulty
in finding employment, others should
beware. Difficulties and drawbacks
are found in every line of endeavor
and many things are o%verdone. Hun
dreds arrive in Los Angeles every
day with only a very little money.
They sell their car for what they can
get and live it up and soon find them
selves up against it right. An aver
gaze of 20 automobiles are stolen in
Los Angeles every day.
The homeward trip was made in
about II days. From Los Angeles
the Foors went East to Needles and
Flagstaff, then north to Sorocco,
Sante Fe, La Vegas, Trinidad, Colo
RADIO Springs to Denver. They were
the most surprised and impressed by
the beauty of Denver of any city
they visited. They made the trip to
the top of Pixies Peak on the famous
cog railroad.
From there they came through
Cheyenne, Casper and Sheridan,
Wyo.. to Miles City and then home
completing a tour of over 5000 miles.
And Montana .ooked hutter to them
than ever.

Salt, Lime and Iodine
Needed in Stock RatiOns

salt, iodine and calcium are needed
in every well-balanced live stock ra-
tion," declared e. B. Hart of the agri-
cultural chemistry department, Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
salt is an essential factor in a we'll
balanced ration declared Mr.. Hart.
When used it is usually in the form of
ordinary salt or sodium chloride. The
chlorine upon entering the stomach
forms hydrochloric acid, and this acid
is necessary for proper and complete
digestion. The animal witt a rough
ened coat is one which is not receiving
proper nutrition, and this improper nu-
triton may sometimes be traced to a
lack of salt in the ration.
Nearly all common foodstuffs are
very low in iodine content" said Mr..
Hart. 1.-THE greatest loss resulting from
a deficiency of iodine is In the birth of
hairless pigs. The goiter region of this
country is in the Northwest and it is
in this section that high losses are in

In an appearance on your farm does
not necessarily mean that 1t never win.
And a little iodine In the form of sodi-
UNI or potassium iodide will serve as
an insurance against trouble of this
type.
Calcium is being given off constant
~ in the form Of salts In the milk of a
dairy COW, and some provision must be
made to replace this. 1t has been
found that alfalfa hay cured under
caps carries a vitamine which aids in
calcium assimilation. Lime or bone
meal added to the roughage will also
help to overcome the constant drain
on the calcium supply of the body"

Growth and Development
of Pigs Must Be Rapid

The pigs should be fed grain and
finished as early as possible If the
pork is to Oe economically produced.
Growth and development of pigs
should be rapid if the bacon is to be
profitable. A little neglect at this
critical season may retard the growth
of pigs. When the pigs are to be
finished they may be confined in pens
unless there is a %luxuriant pasture
whence plenty of grain may be fed.

two months. They travelled in a new
Buick touring a and camped the

worth far more, they consider, than
the surprisingly small amount it cost.
On the outward trip they hit the

Good Feeds for Growing
Pigs or the Brood Sow

A mixture of 60 per cent barley and
40 per cent oats will be a good mix
ture for growing pigs or brood sows.
This mixture would be improved upon
by making it 40 per cent barley. 80
per cent oats, 20 per cent middlings.
and 10 per cent tankage. For fatten-
ing pigs a ration of 90 per cent
barley and 10 per cent tankage
or 60 per cen barley, 80 per cent mid
dlings, and 10 per cent tankage will
be fourd satisfactory.

Old Landmark Is Gone
Norman L. Huff

The Hartland Academy that you
have heard about so much last and
this year, has been burned.
Friday morning at six o'clock came
the fire calf which was repeated. At
first nobody knew where the fire was,
but finally it was located in the Acad-
envy. This delay gave the fire a
start and on top of the delay~the hose
could not be adjusted. On account
of the height of the building the mill
pump had to be used on the pipes.
The crowd arrived in time to save all
the contents of the room occupied by
the fifth and sixth grades, also the
chairs and desk in one of the high
school class rooms.
The ire which vas thought to have
started in the basement, quickly fol-
lowed up the staircase. 1t soon
reached the labratory which gave 1t
new force. On account of the brick
structure and steel roof water could
not very readily be gotten onto the
flames. The flames soon reached
the belfry which served as natural
chimney. The first and second
floors lasted the longest but eyentu-
ally the second and third floors were
burned. The gable end of the build
ing facing the east was the only
brick work to fall
The building and contents were
owned jointly by an association and
the town. The towns half was in
sured for $4,000 but the association
had only $500. The loss Is estimat-
ed at more than $4,000.
Some Of the losses are as follows:
three desks valued at $50 each; 2
pianos, 5000 each; football equipment
$500; etc, etc.
