Cottonseed Not Favored
as Protein for Poultry

One of the objections to cottonseed
meal for poultry feeding is it's unpal-
atable quality. Birds will not eat as
much of the mash when it has cotton
seed meal in it as they do when it
contains animal proteins. When bone
ash such as precipitated bone, bone
-four or raw bone Is added to the
mash 1t has tendency to increase
the value of cottonseed meal and the
birds will eat it much better. A very
good supplement to mash containing
cottonseed meal is chalk, pounds, 2
pounds bone meal and / pound of
common salt to each 100 pounds OF
mash.
Cottorseed meal has not been popu-
lar with poultry keepers as a source
of protein for poultry and this is
doubtless due to the fact that it is not
very palatable.

SUNLIGHT BIG AID
IN CHICKS GROWTH

Sunlight, as a direct cure for leg
weakness, has been proven successful
at the poultry department Of the Wis
cOnsin college of agriculture.
Experimental work with young
chickens has demonstrated that leg
weakness can be entirely prevented
by exposing chicks to direct sunlight.
Leg weakness is caused by lack Of
normal development Of the bones due
to lack Of the right kind of feed An
other term applied to the disease is
ricketts, and the scientist claims leg
weakness is brought about directly by
the absence Of the anti-rachitic vita
mine in the chicks ration, or in the
absence Of direct sunlight
"a remarkable development in ami
NAL nutrition is the recognition that
light is equivalent or supplementary
to the anti-rachitic vitamine," declares
J. G.. Halpin Of the poultry depart
ment.
"Since the ever increasing develop
ment of artificial incubation and
brooding Of chicks, considerable loss
has resulted from leg weakness. In
order to combat this injurious disease,
poultry men must feed a ration which
contains the necessary vitamine. This
vitamine is present in cod liver oil,
eggs, and some other materials. I'm
less the early chicks can get into di-
rect sunlight or are fed material of
this nature, they will be seriously
handicapped in their development.
If the chicks cannot be placed out
Of doors or in direct sunshine, as is
the case often with early Matched
chicks, suitable additions to the ra-
tions should be fed to substitute fr
the necessary sunlight. A very salts
factory ration has been prepared by
Halpin, and consists Of the following
ingredients.
Yellow corn, so parts; middlings, 20
parts; bone, 5 parts; lime rock, 5
parts salt, l part; and skim milk to
drink.
This ration Is very successful when
direct sunlight is supplied.

Green Stuff Important
for Flock Of Pullets

Very often in the late summer the
range on which the pullets are being
reared runs down until there is moth
ing left but baked soil and rank
stand of weeds. Real grass feed which
the chickens can eat is essential to
normal growth. Shade and fresh cool
water are also important.
Do not feed over ten per cent meat
in the growing mash as high pro-
tein ration will mature the pullet in
stead of developing growth. Thirty
five pounds Of cornmeal, twenty-five
pounds bran, twenty-five pounds mid
dlings, ten pounds meat scrap and FIVE
pounds bone meal is suggested. Milk
may replace the meat, but do not leave
out the bone meal particularly in this
case.

Summer Fattened
Steers on Grass
interesting Experiments Be
ing Made With Cattle in
Blue Grass Region.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural .
Cattle feeders in all parts OF the
country may derive some benefit from
the results of experimental work car
ried on by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in cooperation
with the West Virginia agricultural
experiment station, especially those
who winter steers with the intention
of financing them on pasture the fol-
lowing summer. Because the Appa-
lachian region of which the state OF
West Virginia is the center, is good
bluegrass country admirably adapted
to growing stockers and feeders and
to fattening them on pasture, most OF
the beef produced in this section is
produced on grass alone. 1t has been
common practice in this area to win
ter steers on dry feed, such as hay,
corn slower and wheat straw, and on
corn silage to less extent, in such
way that they are permitted to lose
weight. They are then pastured the
following summer and sold as stock
ers, feeders or finished steers.
Cause for Experiments.
Because there are some who have
maintained that it is profitable to
allow this loss, which with older steers
usually varies from % to 100 pounds,
and others that believe that cattle
wintered on silage, or on a ration Of
which silage is part, will not do well
on grass the following summer, these
feeding experiments have been under
taken. Three years results are now
available and have been published in
new bulletin just issued by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. 1t is called Department Bulletin
1851, and discusses the effect of win
ter rations on pasture gains Of two
year-old steers, also the cost of rations
for wintering two-year-old steers.
From these results it has been con-
Guided that, generally speaking, the
steers which made larger winter gains
also made larger total gains for the
year when fattened on grass the fol-
lowing summer. The steers which
made only slight gains or which were
allowed to lose weight during the win
ter made greater summer gains on
pasture than the steers which made
the larger winter gains, but were not
able to overtake them in the final
weight.
Winter Gain Is Best.
Consequently differences in weight
of steers at the end Of the winter, due
to rations fed, are gradually mini
mized during the summer fattening on
grass, but not wholly overcome. Since
this is true, it is important that cattle
which are to be marketed early should
gain considerably more weight during
the winter than If they ere to be mar
keted late.

AS a part of the extension program

Uuited States Department OF Agricul-
ture has prepared three sets Of dairy
exhibits, each different from the 9th

these exhibits is, it pays to keep good

What Exhibits Show.
one exhibit gives the results of cow
testing association studies. 1t shows
a poor COW, representing large group,
that averaged $50 pounds of butterfat
a year, with an income over feed cost
of only $26 per COW. Contrasted with
this is a good COW, representing an
other large group, that averaged 3OO
pounds of butterfat year, with an
income over feed cost Of STA per year
per COW. The owner Of the low pro-
ducers had to house, feed, and care
for three cows to get the same income
over cost of feed that the owner OF
the good cows got from one.
These exhibits also show that the
way to get high producers is to use
good bulls, keep records Of produc-
ton. Gull the herd. and raise helfers
from the best cows. Having got good
cows, the suggestions are made to feed
literally, have good pastures and use
them properly, provide silage for win
ter feeding, and be sure the ration
contains sufficient mineral matter
which it is suggested should be sup
piled by feeding plenty of alfalfa, clo-
yer, or other legume hay
Work for High Quality.
One part Of these exhibits empha-
sizes the Importance of producing
dairy products Of the best quality
High quality is associated with such
fundamental practices as clean cows,
small-top milking pals, thorough wash
inc and steaming of utensils, quick
cooling of the milk or cream to low
temperatures, and finally quick and
frequent delivery to market.
Another section compares dairy
cows with single and double-track
railroad. AS the double-track railroad
does more than twice the business OF
q singIe-track railroad, SO the COW that
produces 300 pounds Of butterfat
year yields more than twice as much
income over feed cost as the COW that
produces $50 pounds of butterfat q

Anthrax Breaks Out
IN Several States
Cattle and Sheep Are Most
Susceptible to Disease.

prepared by the United. States Department
of Agricultural
Anthrax, an acute infectious disease
affecting animals and occasionally
man, has broken out In several south
ern and western states, the United
States Department of Agriculture an
nounces. Reports from veterinarians
Of the bureau of animal industry show
that the most serious outbreaks have
occurred in Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Texas and South Dakota.
Cattle and sheep are most suscept-
ible, but none of the domestic animals
are exempt. Anthrax is caused by a
germ which multiplies rapidly in the
body, especially in the blood. and pro-
duces poisonous substances which
cause death. The germs probably are
most commonly taken in with food,
though they may gain entrance also
through wounds.
The symptoms Of anthrax vary great
~, according to the acuteness Of the
attack. The early stages usually are
characterized by high fever. rapid
pulse and labored breathing. In the
most common form of the disease
there are also local external swellings
or tumors Death ensues in from q
few hours to several days.
Medicinal treatment is usually Of no
avail in acute cases. The most eff
fective method of dealing with anthrax
is by prevention The preventive
measures recommended are (1) pro-
tecting individual animals by vaccina-
ton and {2) burning or deeply bury
ing the carcasses of animals that have
died Of the disease, SO as to avoid in
fecting the ground.

Most Profitable Ducks

Ducks are most profitable if mar
keted between ten and twelve weeks
of age. By this time they are nearly,
if not quite full grown, providing they
have done well from the beginning
At this age they usually go into a
moult and from then on will make
little or no growth for a number Of
weeks and there can be no profit in
keeping them beyond this time. From
the sixth week on a rather heavy RAJ
ton Of corn will finish the ducklings
shape.

Weed Seeds in Scratch
Feeds Is Cause of Loss

AS a result of high percentages of
weed seeds found in scratch feeds
the Ohio department of agriculture
Is cautioning purchasers to. watch
carefully on the labels for the per
centage noted. 1t is declared by the
department that this type Of feed
loses much Of its value when more
than 5 per cent consists of weeds.
One sample of scratch feed recently
analysed which did not contain the
analysis as required by law was found
to consist of 25.8 per cent weed seed.
The law does not limit the amount OF
weed seed that may be contained in
such feed.

For the striped potato beetle use
aead arsenate either as spray or
dust. AS q spray use it at the rate of
8 pounds of powder to 100 gallons of

mix with pure gypsum or sulphur, or
dilute one pound with 10 pounds of
hydrated lime. Apply whenever need
ed, covering all parts of the plants.
