Lambs Fed Soy Bean Hay
Make Economical Gains

Lambs fed soy bean hay made
slightly faster and more economical
gains than those fed clover hay, and
settled lambs consumed more grain
but made more profit than handled
lambs. Such are the principal results
obtained by Purdue university In the
lamb feeding experiments recently
completed, when 200 head averaging
SS.5 pounds We're sold at $13.75.
r. G.. King of the Purdue station,
who conducted the test, states that
SOY beans and soy bean meal were
comparable In feeding value to cot
tOnseed meal. Lambs fed soy bean
hay returned a profit Of II cents a
head whereas the clover fed lambs
lost AZ cents each. The lambs were
western and were fed in eight differ
ent lots for so days. They gained a
little under a third of a pound a day.

Calves Are Produced on

Beef calves are produced on a close
margin of profit. The only source OF
income from the beef GOV Is her calf.
The value Of the calf M weaving time

cow fer a year, depreciation, sire, sery-
Ice, interest on investment, rent, and
losses. and leave a margin for the own
er. This is true whether n is pro-
ducing calves to sell at weaving time,
or to sell as ~two-year-old feeders. II
ome cannot produce calves as eheaply
S ne can buy them at weaving time,
IT will pay him to buy rather than

into handling steers. Usually 1t Is bet

are favorable for taking care Of them

in 1917, but was also present in on
tario, Canada, ut that time. Ii spread
enthusiastically from Ontario, and is
now attacking the eastern limits of the
great corn belt In Ohio and Michigan.

corn belt farmer what ne must do to
prevent its spread to new territory
and to keep 1t under control in in
tested areas.
Burning Of stalks, cobs and nubblns
in the field, the blowing under of the
stalks left standing over winter, clean

ploying the silo and shredder and other
recommended methods of control are
shown. Operation of guarantees to

Rye and Oats Mixed Are
Satisfactory for Swine

In sections where corn does not
grow so readily, rye may be an eco
nomical feed for hogs. It is less pal
stable than some of the other grains,
and for this reason is frequently
mixed with ground corn or ground
barley, and fed along with tankage
and the required minerals. Rye and
oats ground and mixed half and half
should make, a satisfactory feed for
hogs, hut IT will be necessary to sift
out the oat huils. Be particularly
careful that any rye fed to brood or
pregnant sows contains no ergot. as in
such case abortion is very likely to
result. Possibly 1t would be better
to withhold the rye from pregnant
sows for this reason.

Feeding Silage to Ewes

conditions some highly concentrated
acceptable protein supplement. This

Farm Facts

A well-equipped desk is a labor-sav-
er IN the farm home.
Nothing will add more to the ap-
pearance Of farm buildings than a
coat Of paint.
When soils and crops and live stock
are well cared for, they generally car
well for the owner.
In planning winter and spring work
reserve a few days for rounding up
the machinery scattered about the
farm.
While the value of farm products
is largely Influenced by quality, this
Is a factor which has been individual
" and collectively neglected by many
farmers.
A cheap form of swine insurance Is
the provision of dry sleeping quarters
for the brood sows. These quarters
should be well-ventilated, but free
from Injurious drafts.
Try II and see how young pics re-
spond to a feeding Of clover or alfalfa
leaves In winter. 1t Is because the
caves furnish vitamlnes which rne
summer-fed hogs obtain from greet
grass or clover.

Revise Federal
Grades for Hay
Glasses Have Been Simpli-
fed and Number
Reduced.
Prepared by the United States Department

"
Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l
Revised United States grades for
timothy hay, clover hay, clover mixed
hay and grass mixed hay have been
recommended by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture effective Feb
ruary /, 1924. The grades have been
simplified and the number reduced
from 40 in the former federal grades
to %. An additional class, clover
grass mixed, takes care of "A consider
able amount of hay to which the old
grades did not apply.
The grades are based on the feeding
value of hay and correlate closely with
the time of cutting. AS n general rule
timothy and clover should he cut not
later than full bloom to meet the re-
quirements Of Z. S. No. l grades. The
method of stating color in timothy and
| other grasses has been changed so as
to be more easily understood by any
oae familiar with hay.
Definitions Changed.
Definitions of clover and other
grasses have been changed slightly
and tire quantity OF clover and other
grasses permitted in the timothy class
has been Increased TO 10 per cent OF
each. Three classes have been pro-
wided for timothy and clover mixtures
light, medium, and heavy-and the
clover class has been made to include
all mixtures containing over so pei
cent OF clover Cfncluding foreign ma
fterials) and not over 10 per cent OF
other grasses.
There are two classes-light and
heavy-fOr mixtures of timothy ane
other grasses in addition to the mixed
grass class. which includes all mixtures
containing over 60 per cen of Other
grasses and not over 10 per cent OF
clover.
Definite Grading Factor.
Foreign material has been made @
definite grading factor. the grade be
ing lowered as the quantity Of for
eign material increases. The defini
ton Of foreign material also has beer
revised so that 1t will he more easily
understood. In every case where the
grade of the hay Is lowered on account
