Feeding Screenings Is
Most Harmful Practice

If you buy screenings for the chick
ems it does not pay to feed them over
a large area that may be used for
gardening. The screenings may bring
you the finest collection of variegated
weeds that your garden has ever
grown. 1t also pays to use precautions
in the scratch feed that is scattered
on the range for young stock. If the
mixture contains weed seeds lot of
the weeds may be left on the range
TO cause future work of eradication.

Egg Production Depends
Greatly Upon Protein

Egg production depends more upon
the amount and kind of protein eaten
than upon any other feed. Hens are
naturally grain eaters and will do
well on almost any grain mixture if
they have milk or meat scrap to go
with it. BY holding most of the whole
grain until the night feeding, you
keep the hens hungry and thus force
them to exercise and eat the more
concentrated protein feed through the
day.

Losses of Young Poults
Due to Several Causes

Young turkey breeding stock will
not usually produce as vigorous pouIts
as older birds. A weak spark of life
may be responsible for the losses.
Perform a post-mortem on the poults
that die and note the condition of the
liver. The losses might be due to
blackhead or just to general weak
ness due to exposure, dampness or
various digestive disorders.

figures on the exact production and
value of the crop cannot be obtained
because Of the fact that many bee
keepers have only a few hives and do
not report their production to officials.
This enormous amount of honey is
marketed In many ways. Farmers
along the main trunk highways in the
state have attractive signs in front
of their gates which are responsible
for moving hundreds of pounds Of
honey in the course of the summer.
Others erect small booths and sell
honey in addition to other farm prod
ucts. Honey sandwiches have grown
greatly in popularity.

Secretary Pugsley Sees Way
for Two Glasses of Farm
ers to Help Each Other.

Prepared By the United states Department
Of Agricuiture.l
Distress calls have been coming to
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture from two large classes Of
farmers-from the wheat growers, who
find their market extremely bad, and
from live stock feeders In the corn
belt proper who have used up the corn
In their own neighborhoods and are
finding difficulty getting 1t at rea-
sonable price from outside. In view
Of these facts says acting Secretary Of
Agriculture c. W. Pugsley, these two
classes may 1nd 1t possible to assist
each other. He calls attention TO the
fact that wheat is a good feed for
live stock and that when certain ra-
tics exist between the prices of corn
and wheat the latter can be fed with
as good results as are obtained By feed
ing corn IL proper methods are fol-
lowed.
Maryland independent. [volume] (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1874-current, 1923-09-14

Based on digestlble nutrients, wheat
and corn are practically equal pound
for pound, according to officials Of the
department. But corn and corn prod
uets alone make better feed for cat
tie than wheat and wheat products
alone. 1t is pointed out too, that It
is not necessary to grind corn as a
hog feed, while wheat should be coarse
" 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 a desirable feed for
poultry, both as a whole grain in
scratch mixtures and In ground form
mixed with mash. Fed alone. however,
II does not give the best results, but
should be mixed with corn. Wheat
may take the place of corn in rations
for dairy cows. IL 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 1t 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
its sticky qualities which are brought
about in mastication, and also be-
cause, IL fed alone, 1t may cause diges-
tive troubles.
On the practicabillty Of using wheat
as a hog feed, the department says
that 8 per cent less grain is required
In the case of wheat, but that with
corn at 20 cents a bushel and wheat
at 10 cents gains can be made with

supply Of Corn Low.

The visible supply Of corn on the
first Of July Of this year was extreme
ly low, In fnct the lowest in more
than ten years, and compared with the
same time In 1922 the supply is very
short indeed. Department figures show
that on July first the visible supply Of
corn was 100000 bushels, compared
with 29,s37,0 600 last year. The average
visible supply on that date from 1915
to 1921, inclusive. was s,500O0O
bushels, and for the period from 1910
to 1914 was just about s,OOOO0O
bushels.
There is a possibility that in many
places wheat may now be fed to stock.
particularly the lower grades which
have about the same farm feeding
value as the better grades. However.
1t should be remembered that more
labor Is necessary In feeding wheat
than In feeding corn because Of the adj
visibility Of grinding or crushing It.
The bureau Of animal industry has
studied the relative values OF wheat
ana corn and the methods Of feeding
wheat to the different domestic ami
mails. Price ratios have been deter
mined so the farmer may make up his
mind from this information when the
relation of prices of these two grains
makes It comparatively profitable to
feed wheat TO stock. Thus. for example.
II is figured that when corn Is IS cents
bushel on the farml 50 cent wheat
can be fed probably to all animals
including poultry; "a. cent wheat to
cattle and hogs but not for sheep and
poultry; while 90 cent wheat is
profitable for beef cattle only. How
ever, It must be kept in mind that the
cost Of grinding or crushing has not
been considered. A table showing the
