Millet Seed Is Rather
Effective in Fattening

The several varieties of millet diff
fer in the composition of their seeds,
although the range IS not great. Mil
let seeds, depending upon variety, con
tain s to 10 per cent water, 3 to . per
cent ash. 10 to II per cent protein,
to 16 per cent fiber, 81 to 60 per cent
nitrogen-free extract and 3 to I per
cent fat. The seed of barnyard millet
is twice as high in fiber as other va
rieties and is corresponlingly low in
nitrogen-free extract. Seed of the
pearl millet has considerably more fat
than other varieties.
Millet seed should always be ground
for live stock feed When ground ana
fed with IA good roughage in the man
ner of other grain, millet seed is
rather effective fattening feed. Al
the South Dakota station millet seed
proved practically equal to corn Tor
lambs and about three-fourths as Ell
fectiye as corn in feeding to steers
and swine.

Going to Waste

"The sports of other days don't ap-
peal to the youths of today declared
an elderly resident. Horse chestnuts
are ripe and popping out of their prick
ly shells, but I haven't seen a single
boy whirling strings with two of these
nuts tied to the ends. That used to be
my finest fall frolic. We'd whirl the
strings and then let go, and the device
would wind around telephone or light
wires. All the kids enjoyed the sport
And to such degree that the coppers
on the beats used to chase us merrily
when we became over-Zealous in cult
tering up the wires. But the boys Of
today don't know this pleasure. And
1t seems shame for all the fine horse
chestnuts to go to waste.'-Detroit

Soy Bean Hay Should Be
Moved Down Like Clover

Well-cured soy-bean hay may be
stacked or stored in the barn the same
as any other hay. The best stage at
which to cut beans for hay in order
to obtain the highest feeding value Is
not known exactly, but it is generally
considered that they should be cut
when the pods are well formed and
the lower ones filed. At this time the
largest yield Of hay per acre will be
obtained, although cutting earlier will
give IL larger percentage of protein in
the hay. If cutting is delayed too
long the stalks become woody and
there is Il heavy loss Of leaves.
Soy-bcan hay should be moved
down like grass or clover and allowed
to wilt in the swath, then forked into
small cocks to cure slowly. Too rapid
curing will cause the leaves to drop.
If the weather is unfair, place the hay
in windrows after 1t has wilted in the
swath and then after it has partly
cured place in large cocks. Three or
four days of fairly good weather are
ordinarily required to cure soy-bean
hay properly.

Increased Use of Pure
Bred Sires in Kentucky

Oldham county, KY, owes an esti-
mated increase of S12S,96S in annual
returns from its live stock and poul-
trv to the growing use Of pure bred
sres. This figure is the result of cal
culations made by G. b. Nance, county
agent for Oldham county, and repert-
ed to the United States Department
of Agriculture. Mr. Nance based his
reckonings on the difference between
the percentage of pure bred sires used
in his county and an average com
puted from the percentages of pure
bred sires used in two adjoining coun-
ties. He then combined with this fig
ure data on the superior utility value
of pure bred sires from such sources
as the United States Department OF
Agriculture and state experiment sta
