Good Fattening Ration
for Market COckerels

Dry mash is as important in the
laying hens diet in summer as in
winter. Many persons feel that the
hens will pick their r%ations, but this
often auses a serious dropping OF In
production.
To get the highest production, a dry
mash ought to be In the feeders at all
times. A mash composed of 200 pounds
Of ground oats, 100 pounds of bran.
100 pounds Of ground corn and 10
pounds of tankage makes an excellent
summer feed for laying hens. By
using this ground mash the hen doea
not have to use her energy rs much
in digesting and can keep up her lay
Ing.
Also. hens that are deprived Of q
good ration during the summer often
go into a slack period preparatory to
an early molt and do not lay. Expert.
ments have shown that melting hens
are low producers n often good hens
are discarded when they would be all
right II properly fed.
Hens that are slow producers when
properly fed can soon be culled out
properly.-J. l.. Gordon. Iowa State

Quantities of Milk
to Feed Young Calf
Undertaking at Start Is
Better Than Overlooking.

prepared by the United states Department
of Agrtculturs.)
The United Suites Department Of
Agriculture gives some figures on the
quantities of milk that may be fed
to calves at different ages. At birth
a 5O-pound calf needs about 8 pounds
a day, while a 10O-pound calf will use
IL pounds. Undertaking at the start,
says the department, is better than
overlooking. Some beginners make the
mistake Of giving the calf all 1t want
This would probably be a good prac-
tice II the calf were fed every 2 or 8
hours, as Is the case when 1t runs
with the COW. However, when a young
calf has been without feed for from
8 to II hours, there is danger that 1t
will gorge itself II allowed to con-
sumo all 1t wants, which may cause
digestive trouble.
A uniform temperature of about 90
degrees F. is necessary II the milk
Is to agree with the calf and produce
the best results. Some feeders at
tempt to make up for any lack in
quality Of the milk by increasing the
quantity. Fol instance, they will feed
much more skim milk than whole milk
In the belief that the increased quanti-
ty will make up for the lack of but
terfat. This is wrong, as the same
rule about overlooking holds good
with skim milk as with whole milk.
II on account Of age, souring, or dirt,
the quality Of the milk is poor, the
quantity should be reduced rather
than increased. The calf will not lose
so much in development through a re-
duction In feed as he would from d.
gestive disorders. A calf often can
take a relatively mall quantity OF bad
milk for long periods and hold its own
and even make small gains. when a
larger portion would cause digestive
trouble and even endanger the anil
mails life.-

Imported Currant Worm
Reduces Yield of Fruit

Currents and gooseberries have
suffered severely from the depreda-
ton of the imported currant worm in
the last few years and this year we
may look for even greater %infestation.
These worms can in a few days strip
the bushes OF leaves. This naturally
reduces the yield of fruit and II re.
peated for several consecutive years,
may kill the bushes.
Now Ia the time to put a stop to
the ravages Of this insect. The most
effective treatment Is spraying with
lead arsenate at the rate Of two or
three tablespoonfuls to a gallon OF
water. Lead a%rsenate has the desir-
able quality Of adhering to the leaves
for n long time and retaining Its
strength throughout that time. For
these reasons 1t is much preferred to
white hellebore. the old fashioned
currant worm remedy.

Raspberry Camel orer Is
Cause of Great Damage

The raspberry has several insects
and diseases that reduce the crop
very greatly. The cane-borer is one
that works so quietly that 1t is not
usually noticed by the novice. The
adult beetles feed on the leaves and
do some damage in this way.
The most damage Is caused by the
young worms feeding Just under the
bark and causing the cane to form
n gall. Later the worms go Inside n
bore into the pith where they remain
over winter. When spring opens they
change to adults.
Spraying does not control them.
The best method Of control Is to ex-
anime the canes In the early spring
and cut out close to the ground those
that are found infested. These are
readily found on account Of the gals
and swellings.
The infested canes must be burned
before the beetles come out. Dump
ing them In n brush pile only keeps
the beetles from finding new shoots
for n short time. Burning is the best
remedy.

Cattle and Sheep Often
Contract Shipping Fever

Cattle and sheep, while passing
through the large s~tockyards. often
contract a disease known as hemor-
rhagic septicemla or shipping fever.
The losses occur most commonly In
the fall as cold weather advances and
heaviest losses usually occur among
stocker and feeding cattle, although
milking cows and sheep may be af.
fected. The disease Is a poisoning OF
the blood and often runs n short
course and quickly proves fatal.
The losses from this disease are
very heavy and the United States
bureau Of animal industry Is trying TO
prevent It from spreading. A bulletin
has been published which tells how TO
treat this disease and may be OBJ.

Prepare Soil for
Fall-SOWn Alfalfa
Late July or Early August Is
Best Time, According to
Federal Experts.

prepared by the United Slater Department
of Agriculture.)
Preparation of the seed bed for fall
sowing of alfalfa should begin in late
July or early August, in the opinion
Of experts Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. In the
eastern alfalfa region from Pennsyl-
vanla south, September is a common
time for fall alfalfa sowing. the date
varying with local conditions. To get
the soil settled 1t should be plowed
not later than early August. Then
just before seeding time 1t should
be loosened up for a depth Of about
2 inches. II the s%ubsurface is not well
packed the conditions will not be
favorable for the young alfalfa plants.

Alfalfa needs lime. II the soil Is
deficient, put on at least a tor Of the

Cost of Feed Biggest
Item in Stock Farming

The cost Of feed is the biggest item
In stock farming. To produce a cheap
ration is therefore one of the most I'M
portant factors in the business, and
the stock farmer who wishes to be
successful must learn how to reduce
his feed bill.
The Missouri experiment station re-
Gently issued a bulletin on the cost
Of crop production, showing the cost
of putting up hay to be s3.3s per ton.
They did not say whether this hay
was put up In stack or NOW, but the
figures indicate that modern labor
saving tools were used and that the
hay was well housed either in stack or
shed. 1t costs from IS cents to SIPS
per ton to put corn in the silo; thus
we find that silage. on a ton basis, can
be put up at from one-third to one
quarter the cos OF hay. The quality
Of silage can be controlled, while the
quality Of hay depends on the weather.

FARM
LIVE STOCK
Tankage Very Good for
PIGS on Alfalfa Pasture

II a protein supplement necessary
for hogs which are fattened on alfalfa
pasture7 Light is shed on this Ques
ton by an experiment conducted last
summer at the Kansas experiment sta
ton. In this test two lots Of pigs were
fattened on alfalfa pasture. One re-
ceived corn alone, while the other was
given corn and a quarter Of a pound
Of tankage per head daily. In both
cases the grain was handled twice q
day on a concrete feeding floor. Both
lots Of pigs were fed for 100 days and
received the same treatment.
The pigs fed corr alone gained but
three-quarters Of a pound per head
daily, while those which had the tanlc
age put on gains at the rate Of a pound
and a quarer per head daily. The pigs
which did o have tankage required
445 pounds Of corn to make 100 pounds
Of gain. In contrast, those fed on corr
and tankage o but 1856 pounds of
corr and 20 pounds OF tankage for 100
pounds of gain. In other words, 20
pounds Of tankage saved 40 pounds OF
corn. When the trial was made corn
was worth about 81 per hundred
pounds and tankage about "a. Ths
saving effected by the tankage, on the
basis of these prices, was % cents on
each 100 pounds Of pork. Since corn II
now higher In price and tankage about
the same as when this experiment was
made. the saving u to the tankags
would be somewhat greater at the pres
ent time.
1t was noted by those who conducted
the trial that the pigs which had moth,
ing but corn on the alfalfa pasture ID
rooted the alfalfa to a considerable en
tent. This was not true in the lot
which had tankage. This damage to
the pasture necessitated considerable
expense in reseeding.
The Kansas test indicates that the
feeding of a small amount Of tankags
to pigs fattened On a legume pasture
such as alfalfa or clover. is well worth
while. 1t Is also advisable from the
standpoint Of protecting the pasture.

Destroying Army Worms
by Use of Paris Green

The army worm is a smooth, striped
caterpillar about an inch and a quar-
ter long and a quarter of an inch in
diameter. 1t is rather dark In ap-
pearance. While normally 1t feeds
by night and hides by day, not being
generally noticed, as soon as 1t has
increased to such numbers that its
food supply falls short 1t starts to
travel, and, becoming holder. feeds
during both day and night.
How worms may be destroyed: II
the worms have not yet attacked a
field, the most practicable way to
keep them out is to pillow burrows in
front of them, throwing the furrow In
the direction toward which they are
travelling. The worms will fall into
the furrow, and when this Is full they
may be killed either by dragging a
log back and forth in the furrow, or
by destroying the worms In holes pre-
viously dug at interbals Of twenty feet
In the bottom OF the furrow. Kero-
sene poured on them in the holes will
destroy them. If the worms are al
ready in the field, the following mix
ture, which will attract the worms
and destroy them, should be spread
about. One pound of paris green (poi-
~sonous), fifty pounds Of wheat bran
and the Juice Of one-half dozen or
anges.
Bring this mixture to a stiff dough
by the use Of diluted molasses, and
scatter It amongst the worms. Care
should be taken to keep this dough
from children or domestic animals.
