pounds of milk daily, but the feeder
must exercise judgment as to the
amount of milk that any individual
calf can consume to advantage.
Continue feeding whole milk for
three or four days before attempting
to switch to skim milk, whey or calf
meal. A change from whole milk to
any OF these feeds should be made
gradually. In the case of skim milk
about week is sufficient, but with
other supplements longer period II
necessary.
AFTER the whole milk has been dis
continued and skim milk or whey SUBJ
stituted, these feeds can be gradually
increased so that about Is pounds are
fed daily and more can be used if the
supply permits. It is very important
that these feeds be offered warm and
that they have not been contaminated
by being allowed to stand in an inSan-
itary tank or can. The rotten condi-
tons under which whey was formerly
kept at cheese factories had bad eff
feet on the calves which received it.
1t is understood that a good grain
mixture will be kept accessible to the
calves at all times until the animals
are three or four months Of age, after
which it is better to weigh or meas
ure out the grain to each individ-
ual."

Chinch Bugs in SiIage
Render Feed Worthless

Silage corn. when heavily infested
with chinch bugs should not be put
into the silo, as cattle will eat little
of it. Thss was the experience of
silo owneEssin chinch bug areas Of the
state Lass year. The pungent odor
given OFF by masses of crushed bugs
renders the feed unpalatable, result
ing in complete loss. Those silo own
ers who live in the chinch bug infested
portions of the state should bear this
in mind, as it may save considerable
time and work. In case the bugs are
not numerous in the silage corn, no
harm will result, but where the bugs
can be found in masses between the
sheath and the stalk it is useless to
put the corn up for silage.-A. L. Ford.

Clean Packing Houses
Will Prevent Diseases

Before starting the heavy pack Of
apples and pears, it is always desir-
able to give the packing house good
cleaning out. A grower should never
keep decayed fruit of any kind in
his packing house. Plums and peaches
so left will often decay and brown rot
will develop and the mummies will
carry over the spores of brown rot,
which will later attack the frui.
brought into the packing house. De-
cayed apples and pears often carry
over scab, which is a menace to the
fruit.

Alfalfa Reduces Need
for High Protein Feed

Alfalfa will reduce the need for high
protein grain supplements for cows,
but it will not entirely do away with
it. If you have good silage you can
reduce tne high protein grain feeds in
the rtuon to about one-third. Bulky
feed such as bran or ground oats may
constitute about a third of the grain
ration and corn chop, hominy feed, or
similar concentrates may constitute
the balance.

million and a quarter immigrants q
year came to our shores before the
great war, the net gain in immigration
last year was less than 10000. The
effect of this is to keep up the price of
labor, and so inevitably advance the
cost of the finished commodity.
What Do These Changes SpeII7
IF everybody is employed in the
city the increased purchasing power
of labor will inevitably result in great
er consumption and an enhancement
in prices of food products. The farm
is sure to share in this Improvement
Therefore, now is the time to get ready
for such movement.
Remember, the United States con-
sumes seven-eighths of all the food she
grows. Normally she exports less than
one-eighth. The condition Of the home
market means much more to the COM
mercial prosperity of the American
farmer than the amount of our sur
plus production. Aside from wheat,
cotton, and meat, the world markets
affect but little the price of our food
products. For the Wisconsin farmer 1t
is worth noting that wheat and cotton
do not enter into consideration of our
condition. Condensed milk is the only
product that we produce in any large
measure for export.
'tThe shrewd young man. in deciding
what business or profession he wants
to follow, will be wise not to go with
the crowd. Competition is always the
keenest and the possibility of over-sup-
ply greatest when everybody wants to
rush into the same line. Just now, the
recent unpopularity Of farming makes
this more attractive field than nor
NAL. Especially SO to the young man
who trains himself to do better than
the average.
"There is no favorable outlook for
the inefficient man anywhere and espe-
cially will that be true in agriculture.
But lowered costs of production will be
made by the man who utilizes the find
ings of scientific and practical methods,
who mixes brains with his Drawn, who
forestalls many of the things that hap
pen to the other fellow by seeing that
such accidents do not happen to him.
"He must also be trained to carry
his product through those necessary
marketing stages required to reap the
adequate reward of his endeavor. To
the boy who loves the out-of-doors, who
prefers to be master of his own destiny
rather than be the hired employee of
corporation, who prefers his own iu-
dependence rather than become a cog
IN the industrial wheel Of the city, an
agricultural education offers a field
that is likely to grow better In the
next decade"

Corn Fodder as Litter
Is Excellent for Hens

Litter is almost Indispensable In
every henhouse where eggs are desired,
as well as healthy and contented
fowls. Some farmers complain about
using good wheat or oats straw for the
hens to scratch in. In this event, cut
corn fodder makes an excellent and
lasting litter for the poultry house
and even If one must pay to have the
fodder cut, it is cheaper than other lit
ters
When cut up, ten bundles Of corn
fodder makes enough litter to cover
400 square feet of floor space. For the
same space, when straw is used, at
least two bales would be required, and
this would cost several times as much
as the corn fodder Fodder is good not
only because Of it's cheapness, but also
because the hens like to eat the pieces
of leaves, thus obtaining some bulky
food which Is often lacking in poultry
rations.

Number of Hogs Killed
in july Breaks Record

Nearly 100000 hogs were slaught-
tered during July of this year in es-
adjustments operating under federal
meat inspection, breaking all previous
records for hog slaughter during that
month. The exact number by the rec
ords Of the bureau of animal industry,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, was 1888, 435. This number
breaks the best previous July record,
which occurred last year, by 879,113

Pure Air Is Essential
to Health of Laying Hen

1t has been estimated that the hen
consumes twice as much air as horse
does, pound for pound Of weight, and
three times as much as COW, and yet
we see hen houses with no means Of
getting any pure air into them except
through cracks, which may give di-
rect draft over some bird. With other
conditions favorable to the develop
ment Of germs, there soon are colds,
roup ana bronchial disorders Of many
kinds.

Adopt Improved Methods
to Raise Better Wheat

Improved methods Of growing wheat,
to produce better grain and grow it
more economically, advocated by agri-
cultural extension workers, were
adopted on over 10000 farms in 1922,
according to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture. One
and a quarter million bushels of seed
wheat were treated by farmers for
smut in this connection.

Time to Cut Sudan Grass
When First Heads Sho,

Crops authorities at the Nebraska
Agricultural college say that accord
ing to tests the best time to cut sudan
grass for hay is when the first heads
are showing. When cut at this stage
the greatest amount Of forage of high
feeding value is obtained There is,
however, no great difference In the
yield and quality of sudan hay cut
earlier or later than this stage as it
makes good hay when cut over a con-
siderable period of time. Sudan hay
is a little difficult to cure and some
care is needed to cure it so it will
keep in good condition.

Bright Soy Bean Straw
Is Most Valuable Feed

Soy bean straw, if it is bright and
free from mold, is worth more than
most straws. At the Ohio station,
when the soy bean straw was fed in
connection with shelled corn and oil
meal, it was found that it was worth
about one-third as much per ton ss

Great Importance
Of Good Breeding
Statistical Studies. of Meat
Yields of Food Animals
Show Wide Variations.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Statistical studies just completed by
the United States Department Of Ag-
Ticulture, showing meat yields Of vari-
GUS classes of animals in proportion
to live weight, bring out clearly the
Importance Of good breeding. In the
work conducted, all the principal
kinds Of market live stock were in
cluded, the grades varying from COM
mon stock Co animals slaughtered in
the carcass competition Of the Inter
national live stock exposition. Fig
ures were obtained from a number of
government sources and from the
packing industry.
Good Breeding Shows Its Value.
The difference in dressing yield for
various grades of cattle ranged from
As to Sc per cent, meaning that that
proportion Of the animal was the
dressed carcass. For sheep and lambs
the dressing yield varied from ~ per
cent for common market ewes to 5S.3
per cent for International show Weth-
ers. The figures for swine show
dressing percentages ranging from rs
to 85.3 per cent. The relatively high
figures for swine are due in part to
che fact that the skin and head COM
monty remain on the carcass. The In
ternational show animals in each case
are chiefly pure breds, fed specially to
produce an ideal carcass.
The results, in the judgment of
specialists in the bureau of animal in
dustry, are clear-cut evidence that the
types of animals shown and recog-
Aized as best by judges of live stock
are much superior to poorly bred stock
from a meat standpoint.
The practical side Of the study just
completed Is shown by the following
statement by John Roberts of the bu-
peau of animal industry, who made
che compilation:
Steer carcasses Compared.
"The difference in dressing yield
between a good and common steer,
according to the figures collected, is
6 per cent. For a 1,0O0-pound steer
this would mean 60 pounds more Of
marketable meat. Nor is this all,
since the meat Of the higher-class ami
NAL is superior in quality throughout,
as well as being better distributed
among the ehoicer cuts. In other
words, the well-bred steer makes a
more profitable use of his feed than
the inferior one. These things are
taken strictly into account by the ex-
perts who price the animals in the
stockyards; they are, indeed, the fac
tors that determine the market value
of one class as compared with another.
what happens when two such
steers are sold in the open market is
of interest. Consider a good and a
common steer raised on the same
farm and fattened together in the
same feed lot. Assume that each steer
weighs 1000 pounds and they are
marketed at Chicago during the first
week of July, 1923. The result of the
sale would have been as follows:

considering the early-maturing
qualities of better-bred beef cattle, it
may well be assumed in the above
cases that the common steer was
year older than the other, and so
would have to be charged with an adj
ditional years keep"
