THE ABSENTEE

Feeding a ration without enough
protein feeds in it to balance it is
like trying to build brick house
without enough bricks.
Milk is largely made from protein
feeds. If they are not present in the
ration there isn't as much milk pro-
--duced.
$ In fact, a COW gives milk not &C
cording to the amount of feed she
gets, but according to the amount of
digestible protein in the different
feeds she gets. So it behooves every
dairy man to know whether the feeds
he is now feeding are protein feeds.
How many feeds of ration should
be protein feeds in order to properly
balance. Our brick house will be
constructed only according to our
supply of bricks regardless of prob
ably great quantities of other neces-
sary building materials.
Among the hays, Alfalfa hay sup
plies digestible protein in great guam
tity. If a ration is made up of corn
silage, Alfalfa hay and Home Grown
grains, it is well supplied with pro-
tein for average cows. Real heavy
mixers will need some more protein
feed in their grain ration, probably
some linseed or cottonseed meal or
gluten feed.

When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches
dizziness, urinary disorders and other
kidney ills-and has found relief
from all this sickness and suffering
that persons advice is of untold value
to friends and neighbors. The fol.
lowing case is only one of many
thousands, but it is that of a Sauk
Centre resident. Who could ask fol-
better example?
Mrs. E. Millet, says: ga dull ache
settled on my kidneys and it was real
misery to be on my feet any length
of time. Lifting was quite impossi-
BILE. I felt languid mornings and my
limbs were numb and ached. I tried
from the least exertion and it was a
long time before I regained my
strength. I used Doan's Kidney Pills
from Hanson & Emerson's Drug
Store and was much pleased by the
quick relief they brought me"
Four years later, Mrs. Millet said
"Doan's cured me Of an attack of
kidney complaint"

| Soy Bean Hay is high in protein
and makes a good hay to feed with
other hay for dairy cows. Soy beans
harvested with grain binder are fed
a bundle per cow per day by many
dairy men.
Clover hay is protein hay but not
SO high in protein as alfalfa or soy
beans. There is always room for at
least one strong protein feed in the
grain ration where clover hay is fed,
as Linseed meal in the following ra-
ton fed with clover hay and silage,
ground barley, 800 pounds, ground
oats 300, bran 800 and Linseed oil
meal 100 pounds.
Mixed hay, timothy and native hay
all lack protein. They require a
strong protein grain ration when they
are fed. An example of a strong
protein grain ration would be the fol-
lowing: Ground Barley 275 pounds,
ground oats 275 pounds, bran ESQ
pounds and Linseed oil meal 200
pounds.
You are feeding feeds rich in pro-
tein when you are feeding any of the
following: Alfalfa, clover, soy beans,
sweet clover, wheat, oats, rye, bran,
linseed oil meal, gluten feed and cot
ton seed meal.
Grow Alfalfa the best and cheapest
source of great quantities of prstein
for your cows.

an occasional touch Of mold. Similar
moldy spots may be found in most
upright silos. There had been no
damage from freezing. The silage is
handled and fed out with the mini
mum of labor, Mr.. Burns having pro-
vided feed boxes running parallel
with the trench for his dairy cattle.
The Warren Sheaf, a Red River
valley newspaper, gives additional
evidence of the merits of the trench.
although his trench silo is little
more than hole in the ground" says
The Sheaf, "Ivan Peterson, Boxville
farmer, is SO enthusiastic about it,
after having tried it for season,
that he is planning to rebuild it next
summer and add a floor and roof.
The silo cost only $3.50 and has
supplied feed for IA head of stock
for four months. The silo is IL feet
widt by 80 feet long and feet
Deep"
Reports from North Dakota, where
the trench system is being tried out
on a larger scale than in Minnesota,
are almost uniformly favorable.

New University Plum Christened
Radisson-Anther plum originated by
the fruit breeders of the University
of Minnesota has been given name
and will no longer be known by its
number only. Minnesota No. 157,
which was developed at the Fruit
Farm on Lake Minnetonka,
has been christened the Radisson by
the executive board of the Minnesota
State Horticultural Society and added
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1925-02-26

to that great galaxy of plums, the
Underwood, Tonka, Red Wing,
Mound, Mendoza, and others.
The Radisson is even earlier than
the other university plums. In the
normal season it ripens in the vi.
entity of the Twin Cities the last of
July. Its quality" says w. H. AL
derman, chief of the division of hor-
ticulture, ranks with the highest. 1t
is very large fruit, beautifully col
ored with deep rich red, and has yell
low flesh, sweet and juicy. All in all,
it is one of the most promising of the
new plum varieties.
The name Radisson is the sequel of
contest held as feature of the
university's exhibit, "The Story of
the Plum" at the 1924 State Fair.
Nearly 1900 persons submitted
names. Two, Ray P. Speer of Min
neapolis, and Charles HARRISON of Ex-
celsior, suggested Radisson. Five
trees of the new variety will be given
each as a prize.
Because it has not been fully test
ed for hardness it is not as yet rec
commended for planting in extreme
northern parts of the state.

MINI. "Hort." Society Membership
Largest-With 4,168 annual MEM
bers on its rolls in 1924 the Mime
sofa State Horticultural Society, with
headquarters at University Farm, had
much the largest membership of hor-
ticultural societies the country over.
Wisconsin was second in the list,
with $500 members; Iowa was third,
2,021; New Jersey fourth, 1,011, and
New York fifth, an even 1000. Count
ing the life memberships as well as
the annual, Minnesota led by large
plurality, followed by Wisconsin,
Iowa, and South Dakota in the order
named, the grand total for these four
middle west states being 1924.
"These societies are in region where
horticulture is in a formative STAGE"
says Secretary R. S. Macintosh of
the Minnesota society, "and the anna
teurs are greatly increased in promot-
ing the work."
Minnesota's slogan, $4,000 men,
bers in 1924" has been revised to
read, $4,000 members in 1925. ="
Nearly $500 names have already
been enrolled.

FEEDING VALUE OF ALFALFA

Alfalfa, either green or hay, as
feed for all kinds of farm animals is
the most highly nutritious and palat-
able forage crop than can be raised
in this state.
The following table indicates the
actual feeding value of six different
kinds of feed, based on the amount
of digestible nutrients contained in
them. 1t will be noted that the value
of alfalfa hay is slightly more than
double that of timothy and the equal
of corn:

Minnesota Will Have Its Own Sour
cherry-Minnesota No. IA, plum
cherry hybrid developed by univer-
sity men at the State Fruit Breeding
Farm, has been given the name of
Nicollet and is said to be the nearest
approach to true sour cherry that
has yet been obtained. Of the trees
and their fruits Fred E. HARRISON, as
sistant superintendent of the fruit
breeding station, says:
'"The trees are dwarfs, being SINH
lar to Zumbra; are finely branched,
with small narrow leaves and bearing
fruits that are round and red and
similar in size to the sour cherries
shipped in from Wisconsin and Michi-
gan.
The fruits have small round cher
ry-like pits which may be squeezed
free from the flesh and have a real
cherry flavor. The Nicollet is espec.
tally desirable for canning and TO.
making pies. The fruit ripens about
August Is to September 1 and holds
on the tree in an edible condition for
a longer period than do most plums.

cations in Minnesota"

Winona and Chippewa Flax Best
to Plant-Wilt resistant varieties Of
flax should be planted whenever pos
sible, and especially when old culti-
waited land is used. Even resistant
varieties are not immune on such land.
they will, however, give good yields
on wilt-infested soil if early planting
is practiced.
Two new wilt resistant varieties,
Winona and Chippewa, were intro
duced recently by the plant breed
ers of the Minnesota Experiment
station. Approximately 1000 bush
els of Winona seed and 5000 bushels
of Chippewa were available the first
of the year for distribution.
Minnesota No. 2 rye is still re-
garded the best for general use. Ros-
en- rye, Michigan production, is not
sufficiently winter hardy for all sec
tons.
First Trench Silo Reports Favor
able-First reports from the trench
silo are favorable. The most con-
spicuous experiment with it in Min
nesota is probably being made on the
farm of Robert Burns near Caledonia
in Huston county. Last fall Mr..
Burns spent about $40 for trench
or pit about 60 feet long, z feet deep,
Ia feet wide at the top and IL feet
wide at the bottom. Into it he pack
ed all the corn, after it had been run
through an ensilage cutter, grown on

usually grown on a small scale, have
a higher value per acre than alfalfa.

Alfalfa is particularly valuable as
a feed for dairy cows. When prop
erly cured it has more nearly the
effect of good June pasture than any
other feed. 1t will be noted that
wheat bran, according to comparl-
son based on amount of digestlble nu-
trients, is worth only slightly more
than alfalfa hay, and when the pal
atableness of the hay is taken into
consideration this slight difference
disappears in actual results.
When the dairyman has skim-milk,
corn, and a field of alfalfa he can
provide his hogs with what might be
called ga porker's idea of Heaven. F"
The Kansas experiment station has
shown that the growing of alfalfa will
produce 776 pounds of pork during
a season. This calculation was made
by deducting the probable gain due
: to small amount of corn which was
fed while the hogs were on pasture.
1t is possible to winter mature hogs
on good alfalfa hay and only a small
amount of grain.
Care Required In Laundering

"Soft water should be used but if
hard water only is obtalnable 1t
should be softened by adding some
mild alkali as borax or amonla. Heat
the water until lukewarm and add
enough mild white soap to make a

sThe garments should be 'soused'

in washing large articles. When the
garments are clean they may be run
through a loosely set wringer or
squeezed dry, but must not be wrung
by twisting. Then they should be
rised in water of the same tempera-
ture as the wash water; more than
one rinse is usually necessary. White
