Tankage Good for Pigs
on Rape and Blue Grass

During the summer of 1920, they
found at the Iowa station that 1t paid.
to feed tankage in connection with
corn to pigs on either rape or blue
grass pasture. The pigs getting corn
alone on rape pasture gained only two
thirds of a pound per head daily and
required for 100 pounds of gain
623 pounds Of corn. whereas the pigs
getting tankage as well as corn gained
1.42 pounds per head daily and re-
quired for 100 pounds of gain 355
pounds Of corn and 20 pounds Of tank
age. Each pound of tankage saved
pounds of corn. On blue grass the
results were almost identical with the
results on rape, pound of tankage
saving pounds of corn.
Earlier experiments at the Iowa sta
ton did not indicate such a decided adj
vantage for tankage. 1t would seem.
however, that even under the most I'M
favorable conditions pound Of tank
age should replace 8 pounds Of corn
on rape pasture or about 4 or pounds
on blue grass pasture.

! I'VE
STOCK
OILMEAL AND CORN
FAVORED BY SHEEP

Some sheep feeders have been re-
ing a quarter of pound of linseed
meal day to lambs in the corn field.
Losses have been small and gains
very satisfactory so far as they could
be estimated Similar reports have
been made by others feeding lambs in
the dry lot. though not under circum-
stances that allow fair comparison.
Some who have tried linseed meal
feeding in the field have reported diff
ficulty in getting the lambs to take
it, says Chas. I. Bray, animal hns-
bandry department, Colorado Agricul-
tural college.
An explanation of the value of lin
seed meal with corn lies in the pro-
TEN balance of the two feeds. A sug-
gested reason for feed-lot losses from
heavy corn feeding is that unused or
unbalanced proteins may act as poi
sons in the body. Proteins are COM
pick compounds of simple substances
called amino-acids, some of these be-
ing highly necessary. Feeds vary con-
siderably in the proportions of amino
acids, contained, some proteins being
entirely lacking in one or more Of
these necessary aminO-acids. When
this is the case, another protein must
be added containing an extra supply
of the missing amino-acids.
Now linseed meal proteins and corn
proteins appear to supplement each
other in this way AT the Wisconsin
experiment station tests with young
pigs in regard to utilization of pro-
TENS showed that linseed meal pro-
TENS used alone were only IL per cent
available and the proteins Of corn
and barley were only % per cent avail
able. But when a protein mixture
protein and one-quarter linseed meal
protein, the mixed proteins were 81
per cent available, showing the value
of each in supplementing the other.
Alfalfa probably supplies most Of
the amino-acids needed to balance
corn, which is one reason why alfalfa
and corn makes such a good combina-
ton in lamb feeding However. in
lamb feeding trials by e. j. Maynard
at the Colorado experiment station
last winter lambs getting linseed oil
meal in addition to corn and alfalfa,
gained three pounds more per head.
brought 40 cents per hundred more
on the market and made 3S cents per
head more profit than those on alfalfa
apd corn only.

KINGFISHER'S APPETITE

There is one thing to be said for
me- said the Kingisher, "and that is
that l do not complain of being bored
or tired.
Il do not complain of having moth
ing to do, for / have a great deal to do.
Il have fishing to do and | love TO

You can tell that by my name
My name is such that, without being
smart at all, you could tell that / was
bird fond of fishing and that ! was
good at my job
For am | not called Kingfisher?'
The Kingfisher sat upon his perch,
looking very handsome in his gray
suit with its touches of white and his
splendid crest upon his head.
Oh, he was handsome fellow, all
right. There was no mistake about
that.
His crest stood up very straight, as
though he were eagerly looking for
something, and as though he were very
much interested in what was going on.
He made strange rafting noises and
his long, strong beak looked as though
he would have no trouble in eating.
At times,4 when you looked at him,
you would have said it was of the
shade of gray such as is states
color.
ia reality his coloring was of blue
gray, but at times, when you locked
at him and couldn't see him very clear
ly, you would have said it was gray.
And in the sunlight you would have
said it was blue.
His crest, too made him look as
though king bird with crown upon
his head.
His size was splendidly big. His
black fail even seemed to show the
excitement he now felt.
"Fish! shall have plenty of fish,"
he said
He flew down to the water, now, so
quickly that it seemed as though he
had made one leap.
UP again he came, and in his mouth
was big fish. 1t looked as though
1t would be almost too big for King
fisher. But he knew what he could
take
No one could tell him about taking

Scrubs lead-straight to failure,
Pure bred cattle figure out 40 per
cent more efficient in production than
scrubs.
An important thing is to provide
clean dry shelters for the sows and
their pigs.
Alfalfa and clover pastures are our
best hog pastures and these can be
used as soon as growth starts in the
spring.
When the farmer buys stock he
might better make it live stock than
stock in a concern he knows nothing
about.
Timothy hay is very undesirable as
feed for fattening cattle and clover
or some other legume hay should be
used if obtainable.
Tuberculosis is a menace to the hog
business. In districts where skim milk,
whey and other dairy products are fed
to the hogs, contagion is likely.
With average prices for wool, a
breeding eve almost pays with her
fleece for her upkeep during the year.
And every little lamb means just SO
much profit.
It has been found by experience
that it does not pay to crowd poultry
too much, and it is better to have the
house trife too large than too small,
A large part of the success with the
litter will depend on getting the SOW
and pigs on pasture when the pigs are
ten days to two weeks old or as soon
after that age as possible. 1t is just
as important for the health and thrift
of the litter that the mother get exer
else as il is for the pigs to get exer

Its creation is an achievement and object lesson
in conservation
Its small size demonstrates that extensive area
lis not essential factor in national park worth.
Much might be said about these several items.
These facts may be briefly set forth There is one
other national park east of the MississippEbut
it is medicinal rather than scenic. This is Hot
Springs National park in Arkansas, the Oldest OF
the system. 1t was set apart by congress in 1882
forty years before the national park movement
began with the creation of the Yellowstone-be-
cause Of it's curative hot springs Until within
two years it's legal title was Hot Springs reserva
ton.
Lafayette is the only national park in the East
for the reason that congress to date has refused
to purchase land for national parks and has Gre
aired the various units Of the system out OF public
lands in the West. All eastern lands are In pri-
yate ownership except certain Appalachian forests
recently purchased under the Weeks act for the
protection Of stream sources and the conservation
of growing timber. Lafayette given to the
nation by the owners of the land
Lafayette will always be monument to the
energy and persistence of George B. Dorr, Of the
second generation of island resorters, who has
now taken the position of superintendent In order
to carry on the work of adding lands to the park
The first recorded coming Of summer visitors to
Mount Desert island was in 1855. By 1870 Bar
Harbor was in full swing In the Nineties 1t was
probably the most famous summer resort In the
United States Then cottage life replaced hotel
life and Bar Harbor became noted for It's eN-
clusiveness and for the number and magn1hcence
of its summer homes Nowadays the shore for
miles is lined by summer places whose owners
are nationally known.
It was in 1900 that Mr.. Dorr took steps for the
formation Of a forestry association to conserve
the widest part of the island from commercial IN
yasion The next summer DR.. Charles w. Eliot OF
Harvard called meeting to form a corporation
for the purpose of holding gifts of lands This
was the origin Of the Hancock County Trustees OF
Public Reservations, which fifteen years later pre-
scented the park to the nation.
The movement grew slowly but steadily. sum
mer residents gave lands and money to buy lands
from local owners. In 1913 Mr.. Dorr went to
Washington and preached to Secretary Lane OF
the Interior department the idea OF giving the
lands to the nation. Secretary Lane warmly ap-
proved Mr.. Dorr returned to the island to ex-
tend and consolidate the tract and to perfect the
titles 1t was 1916 before this work was COM
pleted Then Mr. Dorr returned to washington
and was advised to offer the lands as national
monument under the Antiquities act ofal9O6,
precedent for acceptance having been estaDnsned
nv the creation of the Muir Woods National mon
ument in California, given by William Kent. Inc
result was that proclamation establishing the
Sieur de Monts National monument was slgned
by President Wilson July s, 1915. 1t was 1ouno
that the monument measured up 10 nadonal paiA
