Silage With Legume Hay
Is Excellent for Ewes

Corn silage is most excellent feed
for the breeding eve. Fed alone,
however. it Is poor ration. 1t needs
balancing. In practice 1t Is balanced
to economic advantage by feeding 1t
along with good lesume hay, such
as red clover, alfalfa. alsike clover, a
good quality of sweet clover, or soy
bean hay. II the ewes that are fed
silage are given all of any one of these
leguminous hays that they will clean
up. in conjunction with their silage
feed, they will take enough Of the
balancing hay to make the ration ac-
ceptable.
Ruring the winter time ration com
posed Of silage along with one or more
of these leguminous hays Is adequate
during the early part of the season.
After that, however, or about month
or SO before the ewes begin to lamb
1t Is good plan to feed some concen-
trated grain or grains. such as oats,
bran, barley, or corn. A mixture Of
oats and corn in equal parts Is splen-
did, or barley and oats is good.
little grain fed continuously for
a month or six weeks before the lambs
arrive creates desirable reserve for
future milk production.

Alfalfa Hay Tends to
Insure Strong Litters

Alfalfa hay fed to sows during the
winter months tends to insure healthy
litters of pigs. Alfalfa Is rich in pro-
tein and minerals and furnishes these
elements Mt low cost There are three
ways in which 1t can be fed: Let the
sows eat It from the stack, feed 1t in
suitable rack. or add about five or
ten pounds Of chopped alfalfa or al-
falfa leaves to 100 pounds OF grain
mixture. The leaves can be gathered
up from the barn floor where the hay
is pitched from the NOW.
Some suggested rations suitable for
n 25O-pound sow are as follows: Al
falfa hay, five or six ears of corn,
one-fourth pound of tankage; alfalfa
hay, two or three pounds of corn !;
alfalfa hay, three or four pounds of
grain, one gallon of skim milk. For
young gifts the proportion of tankage
to corn or grain may be increased.

FEEDLOT LAMENESS
REQUIRES ATTENTION

All farm animals are subject to
foot-rot, possibly sheep more than the
others. 1t is usually associated with
dirt and barnyard filth. Mud some
times dries between the claws to the
consistency Of brick. which causes
an abrasion, and this paves the way
for necrophorus infection. Most out.
breaks are infectious. After the lame
ness hns become severe there Is
slight discharge, with very offensive
odor, and the hoof becomes rotten.
usually In one spot which soon
spreads TO the deeper structures.
After fortnight the claws begin to
separate, the animal Is ruthrIfty and
In great pain; the claws rray slough.
and the animal be unable to stand II
more than one foot is affected
Gases of lameness in the feed lots
should not be neglected--empoy
veterinarian II possible. Clean the
foot and pare away all dead tissue.
Apply two per cent solution Of
silver nitrate or Eve per cent solu-
ton Of zinc chloride. Pine tar might
then be applied, and bandages placed
in such a way as to not only protect
the foot from dirt but to keep the
claw from spreading. Keep the nni-
NAL on clean, dry ground.
Sometimes 1t becomes necessary to
treat whole flock and special at
tention to individuals cannot be ac-
complished. In such cases the sheep
may be made to stand for five minutes
In pan containing an antiseptic solu-
ton. The solution should be deep
enough to cover the feet. A solution
made by dissolving one pound of cop
per sulphate in gallon of water
may be used, or dissolve one pound of
fresh chloride OF lime In three gal
Ions of water. This treatment should
be repeated and continued as long as
| necessary. Separate the diseased ami
mails from the herd and place them
in a clean pasture.-George III.

Farm Notes

Sweet clover makes ideal pasture
for sheep.
Inoculation has been proven to be
quite figure in inducing clover stands
to come satisfactorily.
Farmers with roadside markets
should take tip from city advertls-
ers and start their signs several miles
down the road.
Since extension work began the
county agents have been responsible
for 2.5OO,OOO farmers changing their
farming practices.
Kerosene emulsion is one of the old
est and most effective Of homemade
remedies for sucking insects. 1t Is
used in fighting sucking insects hav-
Ing soft bodies.
A few days spent in hauling straw
and filling the gulleys in fields mny
pay better than an equal amount Of
time spent trying to grow crops where
the sSil is slipping away.

Chickens and Eggs
Help Improve Home
Poultry Products Favored to
Increase Incomes.

tPreparsd by the United States Department
of .iKricuiture)
Farm women of Charleston, county,
S. c., sold 5,441 pounds of poultry and
lO.3S5 dozen eggs during 1923. as com
pared with GOO pounds of market poul-
try and 1,OO0 dozen eggs in 1920.
This large increase in three years was
accomplished, on the part Of extension
workers comparatively directed by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture and the state agricultural col
leges, by constantly emphasizing the
value of pure bred poultry and Of the
need of grading all products. The
home demonstration agent rendered
ing of these products, but the good
results are attributed largely to the
fact that at every meeting held, no
matter what subject was discussed,
poultry was advised as means of
increasing the home income. Out of
1873 women enrolled in home demon
stration work, 20 improved their focks
by the purchase of standardized cock
erels or baby chicks.
IN audluon 10 Selllng poultry, D.
337 pounds OF butter and fresh vege-
tables, amounting to $2,36s.5O, We're
sold In ffe county. The money
earned by the women in these ways
was divided into three portions. One
part wHs laid away for rainy day,
one part was spent in supplying spe-
cfal needs 0f the children or for food or
clothing. and the third part was spent
for home improvements. Among these
improvements. % houses were re.
modelled by having additions, new
floors. or new lighting systems. Elev-
en- women bought gasoline irons. two
made wheel trays. and four bought

B. W. Fairbanks Of Colorado Agricul-

Whole Milk Superior for
Fattening Young Calves

There is nothing quite equal to whole
milk for fattening young calves. This
practice provides veal Of the highest
quality. If one COW does not supply
enough milk to give the calf all that
1t will consume, then two nurse cows
may be provided. Make sure that the
calf is confined in box stall heavily
bedded and tarkened. This will
prompt him to lie down n greater pnrt
Of the time. and 1t Is inactivity of the
muscles. coupled with lots of milk,
that makes veal Of the best quality.

Live Stock Hints

ppHppHH11EfE1K1f1 1DS[EpHnnp
Give your horses and cattle a good
bed. Redding is cheap.
Hogs in dry lots should always have
access to alfalfa in racks.
Mutton and wool are crops that re-
quire little labor and bring good re-
turns.
A good time to replace scrub stock
stock is low.
The hog will produce more meat
from 100 pounds OF feed than will
any other animal.
Two slogans for live stock men:
Feed or get fooled" and Keep the
best: sell the rest"
Hogs are profitable when fed on
the by-products of dairying. Hogs
and cows make good combination.
Impure drinking water accounts for
much sickness among hogs. The first
consideration is to supply plenty Of
pure water for the hog lots. This Is
as Important as good feeding.
When well managed the hog Is one
Of the best sources of farm income.
Hogs have paid for many a farm. You
can sell hogs any time Of the year
and at almost any age and weight.
