Chicken Mineral Mixture
Superior for Laying Hen

A mixture Of salt, lime and bone
meal added to soybean meal or other
vegetable protein nearly doubled its
value in the feed for laying hens or
growing chicks, in recent tests at the
Ohio experiment station.
These minerals though making up
only 4 per cent of the mash and cost
ing less than 4 cents a year per hen,
proved as necessary as any other, part
OF the feed.
Grains and seeds are deficient In
protein and minerals. These are sup
piled by the addition of meat scrap,
skim milk or other animal supplement
to the feed Of grain and mash. Soy
bean meal, peanut meal, cotton-seed
meal, and the like supply protein but
are deficient in minerals.
When the mineral mixture was add
ed to soybean meal at the rate Of 4
pounds per hundred its value was
doubled, making it almost equal to
meat scrap or milk for egg production
and growth.
The station mineral MIXTURE is made
up of 60 parts of bonemeal, 20 OF
limestone, and 20 of common salt.

POULTRY
FATS
Right Feeding Vital to
Get Eggs During Winter

The poultryman. who wants to keep
his pullets laying during the winter
must give careful attention to feeding,
say the chicken men at the State Agri-
cultural college at Cornell.
The birds, they say, must be fat, as
this gives them strength and endur-
ance. Three-fourths of the food they
eat should be hard grain. Mash is not
as important during the latter part OF
their development as when they are
ready to lay. If milk is fed, little mash
is necessary. They should have plenty
of green food at all times
When the first eggs are found on the
range at least one-third or one-half Of
the best-developed birds should be
placed in their winter quarters,
whether it be September or Novem-
Der 1.
Good judgment must then be exer-
cised in feeding the pullets after they
are mature and are in their winter
houses. Usually eight quarts of hard
grain a day is fed to 100 birds.
One-third or one-fourth Of this
dLuOuuL SnOulu DC leu III Tic AAOlA AHS
and the balance at night When about
half the birds are laying well they
may require as much as twelve ouarts
a day.
Sometimes, however, eight quarts Is
too much and it is necessary to cut
down on this amount until the birds
can easily clean 1t up. Mash should
always be kept before them in hop
pers or feeders.
Pullets at Cornell have been found
to lay best when fed three parts OF
hard grain to two parts Of mash by
weight. 1t is necessary to feed green
food in some form, such as sprouted
oats, or beets or cabbage A small
amount Of milk is valuable addition
to the ration and helps to keep the
birds in good condition. The birds
should never be starved, but on the
other hand they should be hungry at
feeding time.
The secret of long and continuous
laying with pure bred flock is to keep
the birds always reasonably fat, the
college concludes.

Dairy Cows Must Be
Fed Liberal Ration
Hay, Silage and Grain Mix
ture Needed in Winter.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
II dairy COWS are to be fed for pret1t-
able production they must receive a
liberal ration at all seasons. In sum-
mer, pasture generally is depended
upon, but often it must be supplement-
ed by soiling crops or silage, and some
times by concentrates as well. For
winter feeding, the ration usually is
composed of hay, silage, and a mixture
Of grains. In properly balancing the
ration the grain mixture is compound
ed to fit the roughage with due con-
sideration for cost, bulk, palatability,
and physiological effect upon the COW.
For best results, cows must be fed in
dividually, salted regularly, and fur
nished with all the clean water they
will drink.
A few simple guides for feeding have
been summarized by the dairymen Of
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture as follows: % Under most
circumstances the COW should be fed
all the roughage that she will eat up
clean, and the grain ration should be
adjusted to the milk production. (2)
A grain mixture should be fed in the
proportion of one pound to each three
pints or pounds Of milk produced daily
by the COW, except in the case of a COW
producing flow Of forty pounds or
more, when the ration may be one
pound to each three and half or
four pounds of milk. An even better
rule is one pound Of grain each day
for a pound Of butterfat that the COW
produces during the week. (3) Feed
all the COW will respond to in milk
production. When she begins to put
on flesh, cut down the grain.

Inefficient Production
No Cure for Low Prices

In discussing various aspects of farm
product values, Professor ]. /. Fall
coner, agricultural economist, Ohio
State university says:
"Inefficiency in production is no cure
for low prices. Experience and re-
search have shown that farmers with
high yields make greater profits than
their neighbors with low yields On
high-priced land high yields are more
economical to produce than low yields.
If a reduction in output of a particu-
lar crop seems desirable, it would be
better to reduce the acreage or, for
individual farmers, to abandon the crop
entirely than to reduce the yields"

PLANT FOOD LOSS
is VERY HEAVY
Caused by Careless and In
different Management of
Farm Made Manure.

Careless and Indifferent management
OF the manafe produced on Wisconsin
farms results in tremendous yearly
loss, declavas e. B. Hart of the Wis
consin Costege Of Agriculture. Losses
through fermentation, teaching and the
escape at liquid excrement make the
heaviesk 4nroads on manure plies in the
state.
Far1. manure is valuable because it
carries two of the three essential plant
foods, nitrogen and phosphorus. In adj
dition to these, it contains sulphur.
Manure loosens and heats the soil, as
well as adding humus. Soils which
bear crops year in and year out with
out having arg fertility restored
through manure and commercial fer
tilizers eventually weaken and become
unfit TO bear further crops.
Farm manure is very perishable
product and must be handled with in
telifgence If the maximum benefits are
to be derived from it. Doubtless, when
manure is handled as it is on the ma
iority of farms, only about one-haf of
it's true worth is realized, says Hart.
The greatest loss is through the loss of
the liquid excrement by the use of in
sufficient bedding to absorb it, Hart be-
lieves. The practice of boring holes
in the floor for the express purpose of
allowing the urine to escape is by no
means uncommon practice.
Pound for pound the liquid excre-
ment is more valuable than the soil ex-
cept in the case of swine. 1t is per-
fectly safe to say that of the total fer
eilizing material in the manure, two
thirds of the nitrogen, four-ffths of the
potash and practically none of the
phosphoric acid are found in the urine.
Fresh Manure Most Valuable.
In addition to the great losses due
to improper absorption of urine. prob
ably the greatest source of loss is from
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-02-07

teaching by rains. Manure is often al
lowed to lie for months in the open
barnyard or under the caves of the
barn where the teaching and washing
processes are more complete. Even
after plenty of litter mas been used and
all urine absorbed, it is not uncommon
to see it placed where it is directly
exposed to the continuous action OF
the elements.
Manure is never so valuable as
when it is perfectly fresh, for it is i'm
possible under the best system of man
agement to prevent all loss of it's fer
tilizing ingredients" says Hart. For
this reason, whenever possible, the
manure should be hauled directly to
the field and spread. This system saves
time, labor and expense, as it involves
handling but once. The manure will
be leached by the rain and the snow /;
nevertheless, the soluble portion will
be carried into the soil where it is
needed"
Manure Can Be Stored. Z
Many farmers have provided manure
sheds or cement cisterns for storing
manure. However, where neither a
cistern or shed is available and it
becomes an absolute necessity to store
the manure, the heap or trick" should
be carefully built 1t should be SO
high and compact that the hardest rain
will not soak through. The sides
should be perpendicular and the top
dipped toward the center.
1T is advantageous to have the ma
nure saturated with water, but large
losses of plant food would result
should the water drain away from the
heap" Hart said.

IRotted Manure Excellent
Fertilizer for Cucumbe1

Rotted manure Is an excellent fer
tilizer for cucumber plants. The mix
ing of acid phosphate with manure is
to be advised. If added before the
nitrogen has chance to escape it will
hold the nitrogen in the manure. Acid
phosphate contains gypsum and gyp-
sum has this same power to hold the
nitrogen, but acid phosphate is more
effective than is gypsum alone and, of
course, contributes valuable phospho-
rus. Acid phosphate retards the fer
mentation of the manure.
Acid phosphate may be added either
before or after composing, and in
either case Is a valuable addition.

DAIRY MAN MUST BE
GOOD FEED JUDGE
Should Buy on Analysis and
Not Merely by Name,
Says w. Fl. Strowd.

'fBe good judge Of feed as well as
a good judge of cattle" That is what
w. III. Strowd, of the feed division of
the Wisconsin department Of agricul-
ture, told a group of young men en-
gagged as, or fitting themselves for,
COW testers.
He believes that to succeed in dairy
ing farmer must know feeds as he
knows his herd. There are dairy feed
types as well as dairy cattle types
and he suggests that feed rations be
adapted to dairy cows.
BUY feed on analysis and not mere
ly by name" he says. Figures show
that the rations recommended by the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture when
composed of the best feeds on the mar
ket last year would contain 23.63 per
cent protein and when composed of
the poorest feeds Of the same name
would contain zoos per cent or So
per cent less protein.
Name May Be Disappointing.
"Since these rations are based to a
large extent on the minimum protein
requirements for maintenance and
production the effect of buying by
name instead of analysis is evident"
The reason for adulterating feed, as
Strowd sees it, is to bring the manu-
facturer a better price for the adul-
terart. For that reason he believes
that farmers should buy pure feed.
If the farmer is able to get better re-
suits from adulterated feed than from
pure feed Strowd is of the opinion
that the farmer will profit by adulter-
ating his own feed and pocketing the
extra dollars.
The question is often asked, "Shall
we buy mixed feeds?" High grade
mixed feeds must cost more than I'M
mixed feeds because the mixing, chem
icaI control and selling all cost money.
They probably have an advantage over
unmixed feeds on account of their va
riety and uniformity. Whether the adj
vantage is sufficient TO cover the diff
ference in cost must be determined
by the farmer himself.
Exercise Caution in Buying.
A statement of the percentage of in
gradients in a mixed feed is Of no
more value than salesman's state,
ment that "his feed is the best on
the market" according to Strowd.
There is no way by which the feed in
spector can determine whether such
statements are true, or not. If feeds
were bought only on the basis of the
open formula, the biggest liar would
get all the business and the honest
manufacturer would be driven out of
business.
The object of the feed law is to
protect the consumer against fraud
and misrepresentation and the honest
manufacturer against dishonest COM
petition. The open formula, if uni
versally adopted, would not prevent,
but would actually stimulate fraud and
dishonest competition.
This is another question often
asked but which cannot be answered
with any degree of certainty The
best informed men often guess wrong,
but there are tines when the close
student of market conditions can buy
for future use with a good chance
of making money. However, it is bet
ter to buy only for immediate needs
than to buy without full knowledge
of the factors affecting. feed prices.

Radaer paIrymen Hammered.

Today, according to Theodore Mack
lin of the Wisconsin College of Agri-
culture, the atmosphere in Wisconsin
dairy circles is logged with the con-
slant propaganda of conflicting inter-
ests. In the lack of courageous, clean,
constructive and adequate direction
the cheese producers are having a
hard time making up their minds
about what to do. The prospects are
for cooperation to expand worthiness
of the principle by its results.
