AUTOMOBILE MIGHTY
HANDY FOR FARMERS
Faster Than Any Other Means OF
Transportation.

A writer, in discussing the relation
that after a hard days work 1t is a
pleasure to get into car and take a
25-mile spin. We rest as we do, and
study the methods of our neighbors.
Moreover, the automobile has an
other service to perform. 1t can bring
more rapidly than your best horse
first aid to the injured" If there is
an accident to a child or man, and
doctor or a surgeon Is needed in
hurry, the automobile can bring him
faster than any other means Of trans
portation.
If there is trouble in the field, If
some part of your farm machinery Is
broken down, the automobile can
bring from town the needed help or
the parts that you need to set the ma
chine In motion again.
Again, the automobile brings the
1t IL the local or the distant market,
and enables him to market his produce
more rapidly and on better terms.
The writer to whom we have referred
says that he has a machine that has
run for 16 months on the original set
of tires, with, only 1925 expense for
patching tubes. He says the purpose
Of his machine is pleasure, business
and marketing; that he has hauled ap-
pies, potatoes, oats, eggs, butter, pigs,
calves and hitched 1t to the hay rome
to unload hay into the NOW.

Find Relative Value of
Different Dairy Feeds

Feed Stuffs as rule are divided
into concentrates and roughages, says
the dairy department, North Dakota
Agricultural college, in discussing the
relative value Of different dairy feeds.
The concentrates are grains and
factory by-products, oats, corn, barley,
oil meal, which contain little crude
fiber and are highly digestible. The
roughages are bulky material like hay
and silage and contain considerable
fiber.
Corn Is valuable chiefly on account
Of its carbohydrates; although it con-
tains about 10 per cent of protein,
other sources Of this material usually
are cheaper. 1t is deficient in mineral
matter. 1t should not be fed alone to
the dairy COW as the only concentrate;
however, 1t Is an excellent dairy feed
In combination with other feeds. Corn
and cob meal is valuable in the dairy
ration because it supplies bulk and al
lows more thorough digestion Of the
grain.
Oats contain one pound Of protein to
six Of carbohydrates, which In itself
Is balanced grain ration. No grain
Is better for milk producing cows OF
cows about to freshen. 1t is for sup
plying the unborn calf with nutrients
for growth. 1t should be ground If it
can be done on the farm.
Wheat compares In feeding value
with corn, but Is little fed because Of
its price.
Wheat bran Is high in protein, ash
and carbohydrates, but its market price
usually prohibits its use. 1t has a good
effect upon the system. but it Is ad-
visable to feed 1t only to cows before
and after freshening, and young grow
ing stock. Middlings are not palatable
or easily digestible.
Barley can be used to supplement corn
and should be rolled, or preferably
ground.

Heavy Grain Feeding Is
Not Always Profitable

Heavy grain feeding may make a
better showing on milk sheet. but
not in the net profits, except with those
dairy farmers who live near desirable
markets where they can sell their hay
and dairy products for extremely high
prices. If the roughage is tough and
Hbrous the proportion Of concentrates
must be larger.
