Minnesota Agricultural Experiment

reported in new bulletin by E. F..
Ferrin and M. A. McCarty of the
Minnesota Agricultural Experiment
station.
While these by-products of the
flour mill have long been fed to pigs,
there have been no very definite
guides for intelligent selection among
the three or for determining whether
it pays to use any one of them. 1t is
for this reason that the bulletin,
which is for free distribution, has
been issued.
In the tests, hogs were fed four ra-
tons. The first ration contained yell
low shelled corn, tankage, and alfalfa
pasture; the other three contained the
same ingredients with the addition of
either standard middlings, -four mid
dlings, or red dog flour. The guam
titles of corn and tankage were re-
/ duced in each case to meet the addi-
ton of the wheat by-product.
AS result of the tests the bulletin
says that it is profitable to substitute
a wheat by-product for a part of the
corn and tankage fed to growing pigs
on alfalfa pasture, provided the mill
feed does not cost more per pound
than corn. If the differences in pric-
es are normal, -four middlings should
be given the preference.
p
Average Cow, Just Part of Land
cscape-The average Minnesota COW
is little, if anything, more than just a
part OF the farm picture. She pays
no profit-even though she may furn-
ish market for certain farm feeds
and employment.
To put the case another way, the
average Minnesota COW gives about
4,400 pounds of milk a year, con-
tanning about 100 pounds of butter
fat, and that, with the other returns
she gives, just about pays the cost of
keeping her.
The problem is: Why keep cows
that yield no profit, Or why keep cows
in such way that they will give no
profit A good many cows could be
dispensed with for better ones to a
decided advantage. A lot more cows
could be better fed and better cared
for, and thereby be made to produce
much larger return.
The cow-testting association is the
means of working out the problem
According to reports received at the
Minnesota College of Agriculture
from the Ohio college, an Ohio coun
ty started in to increase its dairy pro
duction. By the end of the first year
its average COW production was 8,371

pounds of milk and 1881 pounds of
butter fat. In February last, the
average COW in the same county was
giving 9,208 pounds of milk and 338
pounds of butterfat. That is climb
ing.
Specialists say that 5000 pounds of
milk and 800 pounds of butterfat is
not too high a standard for a dairy
herd.

BLUE VALLEY FARM SERVICE
By M. A. Nye

A. M. Truax and son living six
miles northwest of Sank Centre have
recently built home made cream
cooler.
The cooler is really two coolers as
there are two barrels. The barrels
are set in the pipe line from the
pump to the watering trough. They
are partially buried in the ground.
One is smaller than the other. The
small barrel, which is only about a
Is gallon barrel is built to cool the
setter can, while the larger barrel
holds the cream can. Neither of the
barrels hold much water and the wat
er is changed in them quickly by a
few minutes pumping. The water is
pumped for the stock three and four
times daily, which changes the water
on the cream.
AS Mr.. Truax's cooling system is
out in the open, he is thinking of put
ting up some kind of shade or
shelter for it. This will help lot
in keeping the water cool on real hot
days.
As there is so much more money
in selling cream, it is important for
every Sank Centre Dairy Farmer to
equip his farm for sweet cream pro-
duction. A good cooling system is
one of the main things in equlpplng
a farm for the production and sale
of sweet cream. Cleanliness is anoth-
er big item, and frequent delivery is
the third.
Too much can not be said about
this matter of cleanliness or lack OF
cleanliness with cream, especially In
the busy summer time. An unWash-
ed separator will contaminate the
cream of the next separation and
sour several days cream if it is pour
ed with it. -,
The cream cooling operation should
be done always with cold water and
away from bad air just p times last
water cools cream just Fl times fast
er than cold air. Air is poor con-
ductor of heat and cold.

J.ouis Soucek, southwest OF West

mounds of seed this spring on a small
nlot of ground. The seeds We're scat

Buy Eggs Now for Winter Use,
'nCrS
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1925-07-23

Buv Eggs Now for Winter Use,
Local Housewives Urged - Eggs
bought now and preserved for winter
use means approximately five dollar
saving on this one item Of food alone
to every family in Stearns county, &C
cording to the Blue Valley Creamery
Institute. This statement is based
on figures showing that the price OF
eggs is generally twice as hlgh from
November to February as 1t is IN
June.
The practice of putting away eggs
for winter not only bespeakes econ
omy but should also induce a greater
consumption of this almost ideal food,
states the institute in explaining the
preservation process. Two fourlg gal
Ion stone or earthware crooks, cap
able of holding twenty dozen eggs,
will be found sufficient for the aver
age family. They should be first
cleaned and scalded with boiling
water. The eggs are then placed small
end down and a cooled solution OF
water glass (sodium silicate), one
quart to nine quarts of water that
has been boiled and thoroughly cool
ed, is poured over the eggs to close
up the pores in the shell to prevent
the egg liquids from evaporating. The
topmost layer of eggs should be kept
covered with a solution to a depth
of at least two inches at all times. The
crooks are then placed in cool dry
place after being tightly covered
with waxed paper to prevent the
evaporation of the solution.
Eggs preserved in this fashion can
he kent in perfect condition from six
to ten months and used for every pur-
pose, according to the Institute. They
will appear more watery when Drok-
en- out of the shell, but the flavor and
nutritive qualities will be very salts
factory. When the eggs taken from
the crooks are to be boiled, small
hole should be made in the shell with
a pin at the large end of the egg
before placing it in the water. This
permits the air in the egg to escape
and will prevent it from cracking.

Poor Food, Not Heat, Lowers
Cows Production Cows properly
fed will not show decline in their
milk flow in summer, according to a
statement of Prof. A. o. Reed be-
fore the Radio Farm School of the
Blue Valley Creamery Institute.
While hot weather and flies are
great discomfort to the animals, they
practically have no effect on the
quantity or quality of milk they pro-
duce.
eff cows show tendency to lessen
their volume of milk in hot weather,

@ Death of Rep. Rogers
 Brings Forth Regrets

Washington, March 30.-Secretary of State Kellogg in a statement to- day commenting upon the death of Representative Rogers of Massachu- sets, said; "The department of state suffers the loss of man whose con- structiye interest in the improve ment of the personnel of the foreign service has reached fruition in leg islation of far reaching importance.
 "The department and the foreign service in general already feel the stimulus of the act bearig MT. Rog- CTS name; while enhanced oppor- tunities of the foreign service are evidenced in the great increase in the number of applicants for admis- sion.
 "To this official expression of sor- row and regret at the death of so loyal and conscientious public servant, I feel myself fully authoriz- cd to add the expression of personal loss which is felt by every officer of the foreign service"

MAKE MERCURY AS
 HEAVY AS REAL GOLD
Chicago University Scientists, At tempting Transmutation, Find
 It still Looks Like Mercury

Chicago. March s0,-chemists in several countries are close to suc- cess in the age-old aim of alchemy the transmutatlon of the baser metals into gold-according to an announcement last night from scien- lists at the University of Chicago. Mercury Is the metal used in the ex- periments, and the scientists say now that the measure of success will depend on the quality of the mer- cury--or qu!ck-silver-used.
 Workers at the Kent Chemical Laboratory at the University are experimenting with a new machine. They already have been able by its use to change the weight of mer- cury put into the machine, but so far are baffled in their efforts to change the metals appearance. The mer- cury now transformed, 1t is said, has the weight of gold, though 1t does not look like 1t.
 The statement issued at Kent La boratory, after referring to recent reports in the press which indicate that Mlethe, in Germany, and Ma goaka, in Japan, believe they have converted mercury into gold by the use of large currents in mercury arc lamp" read as follows:
 Work has been begun in this la boratory on the method by means of which electrons with thousands of times higher velocities are shot into mercury in order to see if they at- tach themselves to the mercury nucleus and thus produce gold. It is the opinion of those who have be- gun this work that even these great CT concentrations of energy will be insufficient, and that still more pow erful and extensive sources of energy may be needed to be ap- piled"

WANT AMERICANS IN
 HOSPITALS RETURNED
Davis Advocates Sending Insane Pa tients In Canada Back To
 Home Land

Washington. March 3o.--Leglsla- ton to enable United States citizens confined in insane hospitals in Can ada to return to this country was advocated today by Secretary Davis.
 Though reciprocal arrangements between the Canadian and United States governments, contemplate the exchange of citizens who become public charges, the immigration service has found itself unable to carry out the agreement because of. ficials of various states In which the unfortunates were originally domi- ciled refuse to assume the responsi- bility of maintaining them In case of return.
 Not only is 1t highly important for us to maintain with scrupulous fidelity our reciprocal arrangements with the Canadian government in this matter" said Secretary Davis in a letter to Chairman Johnson of the senate immigration committee. but the dictates Of common human- ity demand that we make adequate provision for the institutional care of our helpless and distracted citi- zens who have become public charges in other countries
 "I earnestly appeal to you to give this matter the serious considera- ton to which 1t Is entitled"
 There now are eleven individual cases, the labor department has found, where citizens of the United States temporarily detained in Cana dian institutions should be brought back to the United States but can not because state authorities refuse to receive them, on the ground that they have sacrificed their citizenship by long absence.

LOPEz'S BAND IS
 NOT TOO POPULAR
British Musicians Fight Pro-
 posed Visit

London, March So.-The Amalga- mated Musicians" Union. backed by members of the labor party, gave mo- tiee yesterday that it would endeavor to have raised in the house of com mons a question concerning the re- cent action of the ministry of labor in granting a license to the band of Vincent Lopez to come to England for an engagement in London theater.
 The labor members of parliament have promised to support the union energetically in opposing foreign jazz bands getting licenses in Eng land when numerous British musi- clans are without employment,
 When asked last night about the protest against his London engage ment, Vincent Lopez said:
 T do not look forward to any trouble with theAmalgamated Musi- clans Union, as my contract specifi- cally calls for a British musician be- ing In the pit for every man l carry. In other words, there will be two bands in the pit. This, as you can see. will not keep any British musi- clans out of employment. My con- tract is signed. It covers period of six week during which time play at the Capitol theater and the Kit Kat Klub in London.
 T have booked passage on the Leviathan for May 2. The Sunday following my arrival I will give a concert for the Duke of York in London. Following my London en- gagement I will go to Brussels and then make a tour of the continent.
