Pays to Fatten Poultry
Before Birds Are Sold

The flnisher of poultry cannot re-
main In business unless he can make
some profit, and the farm poultry
raiser needs the finisher. It Is esti-
mated that at least one-half of the
poultry sold Off the farm is fattened
at feeding stations before 1t reaches
the market. The market will not take
poultry In the condition of flesh In
which most Of 1t leaves the farm
Farmers may not generally appreciate
this, but such is the case. The fact
is that farmers should pen-feed their
Gull hens and pullets before attempt
ing to sell them, because they can do
SO at good profit, even with the
present high price of corn. Farmers
may not be in position to crate-feed,
but this is not necessary when done
ON small scale on the farm. Pen
feeding will give practically as good
results as crate-feeding on the farm,
but birds cannot be profitably fattened
unless their range is greatly restricted.
To fatten the birds while they are
running at large is a losing PROPOSE
ton. Under such conditions they run
off the flesh about as fast as they lay
1t On.

Value of Pumpkins in
the Fattening of Pigs

Results from three experiment sta
lions show that 378 pounds Of pump
kins fed with 273 pounds of grain,
gave 100 pounds of gain with fatten-
ing pigs. Authorities state that "a
tons Of pumpkins are equal to one ton
of corn silage. About the only way
Of getting at the value of corn silage
is by figuring Its actual cost and this
varies a great deal. Data kept In
Illinois indicated that ton of silage
costs about $3.50. With concentrates
at 500 per ton and legume hay ct $14
per ton, good silage is worth about
$3.50 per ton. Therefore, IL 1t takes
IA tons of pumpkins to equal one ton
Of corn silage and 1t Is worth $3.50,
pumpkins would be worth less than
half that amount. However we be-
lieve they would be worth more than
that for feeding hogs but we doubt
If they are worth So per ton. The
seeds Of pumpkins contain much nutri-
ment and they should not be removed
when feeding.

Fall Freshening Is
Meeting With Favor
Many Excellent Reasons Are
Given for Practice.

Fall freshening Is one of the meth
DDS that many scientific men and 9TH
ers have been for years endeavoring
to persuade dairymen to practice
There are so many excellent reasons
for such advice
Cows that freshen In early autumn
produce more for the year and con-
siderably more in the winter, than
cows freshening in the spring. The
winter Is the time of year when most
cows should be in milk and heavily in
milk because, as a rule, the price Is
consistently higher during the winter
and early spring months and also the
farmer who practices diversified farm
Ing has more leisure time away from
his general farming operations at that
season OF the year.
Professor Misner of Cornell, In work
Ing on this problem, compiled some
valuable Information on over 1000
cows, from which he found that in
herds that had less than % per cent
Of the cows freshen In the fall, the
average yield per COW per year was
1880 pounds and the cost of producing
100 pounds of milk was $3.50 In
herds where over 80 per cent of the
cows freshened In the fall the yield
was 6.025 pounds and the cost $2.35 per
hundred (1921 figures for New York
state). While the difference cannot
all be accredited to fall freshening
yet 1t undoubtedly was an important
factor, and hence has very definite
bearing on the cost of producing milk.
Between December /. and March 1,
is the ideal time to get the cows with
calf, thus insuring fall freshening with
consequent greater proflts.-H. r. Las
celles, Fieldman, Colorado State Dairy
Commissioner

Late Winter and Early
Spring to Prune Trees

II Is usually considered preferable
10 prune all fruit trees in the late
winter or early spring, but this point
has probably been over-emphasized. In
sections where there are mild winters,
winter=kllling should not result and
fall pruning should therefore not be
harmful
Provided pruning has been carefully
done during the first years of trees
cutting necessary after this time.
Furthermore, what there Is will be
largely cutting cut of interfering
branches with the purpose of thinning
out the growth and letting in light to
the remaining wood. Cutting Of this
kind can usually be done in the fall
without fear of injury.
One thing may actually be In favor
Of fall pruning, provided 1t is done
before the leaves fall. This point is
that 1t enables the primer to see more
wildly the results he Is obtaining, par
tlcularly In regard to thinning out the
branches where the growth Is too thick
and Is producing too much shade. On
the other hand, 1t Is always a good
plan. even with spring pruning, to
prune few sample trees while the
leaves are yet on, to serve as pat
tern In the dormant season (spring).
In general, however, 1t Is safer to
do most of the pruning in the spring
or any time during late winter, after
the coolest weather Is past. This APP
plies to heavy cutting particularly and
to the pruning Of old bearing trees.
A small amount of cutting, thinning
out growth, removal Of suckers, ETC.,
may be done any time during the year
with almost equal success.

Feed for Fall Pigs

Feeding the fall farrowed pig
should be given careful attention. He
needs substitute for the green feed
the summer pig gets to keep him
thrifty and healthy. The best winter
substitute for green feed is alfalfa
hay of good quality. Fall pigs fed
on a ration consisting of corn and
tankage in proper proportions and
having free access to fine alfalfa hay
will gain and thrive almost as well
as spring pigs on alfalfa pasture If
protected from cold and disease. The
protein requirements must also be
met. This will require one-half pound
Of tankage per head per day. Where
tankage and alfalfa hay are fed min
axal mixtures are not needed.

Loss of Manure
on Dairy Farms
Nearly One-Half of Value
of Fertilizer Is Allowed
to Go to Waste.

1t has been claimed that the annual
value Of the manure from a COW is
equal to the feeding value of the skim
milk produced by her. But judging
from the way these two products are
handled on the average farm, the skim
milk must be considered of much
greater value, for the reason that little
OF this is allowed to go to waste, while,
according TO statistics. nearly one-half
OF the value of the manure is lost on
the average farm, says writer in the
Indiana Farmers Guide. It Is evident
that on many farms the real value of
manure isehot fully understood. and
that there Is much lack of knowledge
concerning the best methods of han
ding 1t SO as to get its full value.
Liquid Is Richest.
The urine, as a rule, is much richer
In fertilizing constituents than the
dung. containing more than half the
nitrogen voided by the animal, hence,
all Of this portion of the Weddings pos
sible should be saved. and to do this 1t
Is necessary in the first place to have
water-tght cutters and floors, made
with cement. The next requirement is
a sufficient amount of clean, porous
bedding, such as will absorb practically
all Of the liquid. Straw and cut corn
stalks make good bedding material and
hold a great deal of liquid. Powdered
absorbents, such as ground phosphate
rock, has also been used as an abb
sorbent, and this material not only alb
serbs moisture, but also holds in the
ammonia being liberated from the ma
nure.
Half Of Value Lost.
Where no precautions are taken
against teaching and fermentation,
more than one-half the value of the
manure may be lost. Bacterial action
also causes more or less loss. 1t has
been proved by experience that ma
nure placed In pile in the usual way
will lose nearly one-half OF its value
when exposed to the weather for five
or six months. Every rain washes q
certain percentage Of the soluble mat
ter away. Losses from teaching may
be entirely avoided by placing the ma
nure in a shallow concrete pit provided
with roof. No farmer can afford
to be without covered storage for
manure.
Ii the manure can be hauled out as
soon as produced and spread on the
ground where there is no danger of
Its being washed away, this Is the most
economical way. But on many farms
the lay Of the land is such that quite
large per cent of the manure will be
lost by washing during the winter and
spring season.

Editors Go to Jail
Under Censorship

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil "A
staff of censors has been distributed
among the local newspapers by the
Brazilian government in order to pre-
vent the publication of attacks on
President Arthur Bernardes and the
Brazilian government. An unofficial
statement secured at the foreign Of
flee explained the move as guaran-
tee for public order. "The public at
present is. an easy prey to newspaper
propaganda" it was explained, "and
some Brazilian editors take unjustlfi-
able advantages of the freedom of the
press. If the newspapers were not
restrained, their contents would Gre
ate a bad impression about Brazil
when read abroad"
Editors say that most of the cutting
is in copy dealing with administration
policies and revolutionary plotting.
The governments power to stop
publication Of an unfriendly news
paper was checkmated recently by
Octavio Kelly, judge of the federal
courts in Rio de janeiro, who made a
decision which permits the reappear-
ance of the Correio da Mania, after
a ban of nine months. The news
paper was closed last year shortly
after the revolutionists were driven
out of the city Of Sac Paulo, and many
of the editorial staff have been in jail.
The owner and editor, Edmundo Bit
tencourt, escaped after seven months
and is now a political refugee at the
Chilean embassy. His son, part owner
and managing editor, has been con-
fined for nearly one year.
The decision of Judge Kelly was
based on the opinion that the closing
of a newspaper by the government
is violation of the private property
rights guaranteed citizens of Brazil
by the constitution. Mr.. Bittencourt
claims to have lost 100000 as re-
suit of the ban against his newspaper.

DISCUSS PLANS
FOR MEMORIAL
IFriends of Late Senator La
Toilette Talk Plans for
Memorial Park.
AT MAPLE BLUFF FARM

Madison, Wis Friends
here of Senator Robert NJ La Toilette
have been invited to a meeting in the
state senate chamber tonight to dis
cuss the proposal for a memorial park
on Maple Bluff farm, the La Toilette
homestead.
c. B. Ballard, state treasury agent,
who proposed last week that the
property be made public park, will
take a leading part in the meeting.
Mr.. Ballard took care of the home
stead while the La Follettes were alb
sent from Madison and was an inti-
mate friend and neighbor of the late
senator.
Governor and Mrs. Blaine, other
state officials and close friends of the
La Follettes in public and private life
have been invited to the meeting, Mr..
Ballard said. One of the first steps
in the plan to make Maple Bluff a
Second Mt. Vernon" the treasury
agent added, would be the selection
of a committee to discuss the pro-
posal with members of the La Toilette
family and determine whether it
would be acceptable to them.
Mr.. Ballard has suggested that a
fund of 100000 be raised to trans
form the farm into a memorial park
and he offered to start the campaign
with $500.
+ Mrs. La Toilette and her two sons,
Robert, Jr., and Philip. were scheduled
to be in Madison tonight. Robert is
at home and Mrs. La Toilette and
Philip are due to return from Wash
ington
With the return of Governor Blaine
to his Office today from Camp Doug
las, an early conference between the
executive and Robert La Toilette Jr.,
was anticipated. The question of
young Bob's" possible candidacy for
his fathers seat in the senate and
the calling of special election to
fill the unexpired term are the fore
most matters for discussion, with 9TH
er political issues likely to be taken
up. Both the governor and Mr.. La
Toilette remained silent on the sub
ject of a conference.
