Grain for Mature Bull
Depends Upon His Size

The grain a mature bull should be
fed depends, Of course, upon his size
and the amount of work he is doing
If he is getting around II or Is pounds
Of good clover or alfalfa hay and some
silage, grain may not be necessary
Many men prefer to feed some grain
and either eliminate the silage or feed
it in small amounts.
There is some question as to the adj
visibility of silage in bulls ration.
Fed In amounts not in exces of Is
pounds for a large animal, there is
very little danger Of his becoming too
paunchy for service. On the other
hand, there is no particular reason
why bull should receive silage if
his other feeds are right.
The amount of grain allowed must
vary with conditions and service. Usu-
ally from four to eight pounds is fed
A good mixture of corn meal. three
parts; ground oats, three parts; wheat
bran. three parts, and oilmeal, one
part. A reasonably accurate guide
is to feed a bull the same as a COW
in full milk.

leads to several important conclusions.
These are that italian red clover seed
Is worthless except in Idaho and

Carrots cabbage and sprouted oats
help make strong chicks.
Good matches are obtained only when
the laying stock has been selected for
vigor and made to exercise.
Fresh eggs are the best for Matching
purposes. If it is regarded necessary
to keep Matching eggs they should be
stored in temperature of 60 degrees
or lower.
Gull all undeveloped pullets and old
hens from the flock.
Early Matched pullets will mott early
in the fall and be ready for laying next
winter at a season when egg produc-
ton Is low and prices high
1t has been shown that young chicks
are most susceptible to infestation of
roundworms until about IL weeks OF
age, With severe infestation death
may occur in two weeks. In mild in
festations chicks live, but growth is
slower and resistance TO disease less.

Feed to Maintain Cows
of Different Weights

Extensive detailed experiments have
been made to determine the average
amount of protein and other food nu-
triments needed to maintain cows of
different weights. Also, the different
feeds have been tested TO determine
the average amounts Of digestible pro-
tein and other nutriments. This data
has been arranged in table form and
may be found in various books. ex-
pertinent station bulletins. etc., but is
to0 extensive to reproduce here. These
experiments also show the amounts of
food nutriments required to produce
different amounts of milk BY taking
the data from these tables. showing
how much is required, the balanced
ration is worked out by grouping to-
gether the necessary amounts Of the
different feeds TO give the correct total
and proportion of nutriments Rations
as worked out by this process can only
serve as guide because of the great
variation in individual cows. but they
are very valuable In actually obtain
Ing the best rations.

Soy Beans Furnish
Protein for Stock
Are Superior to Cottonseed
Cake for Dairy Cattle.

The past few years has seen a
marked increase in the acreage and
interest in the growing of soy beans.
A national association of growers of
soy beans has been organized and
they are very actively engaged in
popularizing the soy bean in the Unit
ed States.
The seed Of the soy bean plant is
the richest in crude protein of all
the seeds used in live stock feeding.
The percentages Of crude protein in
soy beans is 1865. per cent and every
100 pounds of soy beans fed yields
1872 pounds of digestible crude pro-
TEN. The soy bean seed is also rich
in oil, as it contains 1871 pounds of
digestible fat in each 100 pounds of
soy beans fed Compared to linseed
oil meal, soy beans contain 90 per
cent more digestible crude protein and
"a per cent more digestible fat.
Soy beans for dairy cattle are slight
ly superior to cottonseed cake. Care
must be exercised in feeding soy
beans to dairy cattle, as excessive
amounts cause soft butter.
Cattle have been successfully fat
tened upon soy beans, and, when COM
pared to cottonseed cake, the soy
beans proved just slightly inferior to
the cottonseed cake.
In swine feeding, the composition
of soy beans, as given above, should be
carefully considered. The protein con-
tent indicates that it can be used as
protein supplement to carbonaceous
grains. Due to its high oil content,
soft pork is apt to result, if soy beans
are fed to any great extent.
Soy beans should be ground for horses
and cattle, but 1t is not necessary
in feeding sheep and pigs.-B. w.

may use one-half ounce powder to

Fluke says that the consumer is in
no danger of being poisoned from eat
ing cabbage sprayed with poisons If
ordinary care is used in preparing 1t.
Tests carried on at the Wisconsin sta
ton in 1917 showed that there was no
trace of poison on heads from which
the outer layer of leaves had been
removed, even when sprayed until
week before harvesting. The cabbage
plant grows from the inside out. The
loose leaves are all removed when the
cabbage is gathered and another layer
of leaves Is removed in preparation for
cooking, so there should be no leaves
present which have poison on them.

the house and range the greater are
the chances of evading disease.
The house should be cleaned often
at least every two weeks-and thor
oughly disinfected If mites are found
on the roosts the interior of the house
should be sprayed with strong coal
tar solution and the cracks and roost
supports painted with carbolineum.
Sanitation will do more than anything
else to guarantee success in the poul-
try work. Out on the range no dead
chicks or other decaying feeds should
be left, for these soon lead the poul-
tryman into trouble.
The same ultraviolet rays OF sun
light which are eagerly sought in the
spring are now present in abundance
in the poultry quarters. In order to
avoid damage from them shade is re-
quired for the growing chicks. If
there are no trees on the range a tenn
porary shedlike roof may be con-
structed for the comfort Of the chicks.
A cool, shady spot in which the chicks
can retire at their leisure is supplied
by most poultrymen.
Feed PuIIets Carefully.
AS important as all of these other
requirements and more or less de-
pendent upon them is the matter Of
proper feeding of the chicks. Late
Matched chicks need to be hurried on

PLACING INCUBATOR
EGGS ON THE MARKET
(By 7. e. QUIsBNBERRy,


Some farmers and poultry raisers
make practice of putting eggs on the
market which they have had in an in
cubator for few days and found the
eggs to be infertile. This is bad
practice and should never be done by
any honest farmer or poultry raiser.
You may make good use Of such eggs
by consuming them at home. They
will do to fry, for baking and for GER
tain kinds of cooking but they are abb
solutely unfit for the market. Such
eggs, while good for home consumption
are absolutely unfit for shipping. The
yolks will break, the eggs will rot be-
fore they can reach the consumer, and
1t is dishonest practice to offer such
eggs for sale as fresh-iaid eggs, and
you lower the price on all eggs by so
doing Consume such eggs 81 home.
We have seen severe market losses
due to habit of sending infertile in
cubator eggs into commerce This has
been especially noticeable in the large
houses making a speciality of break
ing out eggs where they found it alb
solutely necessary to candle even in
March and early April because farm
ers and poultry raisers were marketing
infertile incubator eggs with their
fresh eggs, and the incubator eggs
came in in such bad condition and
were so numerous that they had to be
culled out before 1t was safe for the
breakers to handle the eggs. At that
time Of the year there is no other rea-
son for Gambling. You can see what
loss this means to any dealer, and in
stead Of reducing the army Of Gamblers
which are now required this practice
makes q demand for even a greater
number
Another very serious evil due to the
marketing Of infertile eggs from an
incubator or from underneath a hen
is their admixture with storage stock.
These incubator eggs usually go on the
market at the season when eggs are
being stored without being candled.
We know it to be fact that infertile
incubator eggs break down during
transportation and handling and easily
become white rots."
Infertile incubator eggs can be used
for bakers purposes in the home, but
under no circumstances should they
ever be offered for sale or for ship
ment
Another important reason why such
eggs should not be marketed as fresh
eggs is the fact that they are liable to
be seized by food inspectors as being
misbranded. Such eggs play, havoc
with the storage stock, and we are in
hopes that no farmer or poultry raiser
will be guilty of such a,dishonest prac-
tice.

Commercial Fertilizer
Encourages Big Yields

The continued use of commercial
fertilizer over series of years will
encourage the production of large
yields and it may be at the end of such
a period it will be found impossible to
raise as good crop without the use
of fertilizer. However, this is not
due to any injurious effect of the fer
tilizer itself, but rather to the fact that
the fertilizer has stimulated the CROP
and caused it to remove from the soil
even more plant-food elements than are
supplied by the fertilizer. But If
either large or small amounts of fer
tiIizer are used In connection with a
good system of CROPPING, and every
care is taken to return all the manure
to The land. there will be no reduction
Of yield due to soil depletion. The fact
Is. commercial fertilizers have a very
definite value. more especially when
proper use depends on such factors as
crops, soils. rotation systems, etc.

possible so as to avoid friction and
unnecessary length of pipe. The ma
chine should be set level and securely

taken to securely fasten top at en-

it is well to construct a ladder reach

man to go to the top of an empty silo
and open the roof door to lower rope

Corn should be fairly we'll matured,
for at this time the plant contains its
greatest amount of food material
This stage. may be determined by OBJ
serving the denting of the corn, the
drying of the bottom leaves or some
of the outside husks.
The early dent stage is that period
when the corn is best matured for
putting in shocks. If the corn be
sowed thick in drills or broadcast, it's
maturity can be determined by tassel
and silk. With cane, kaffir corn or
milo maize the same rule will hold
true as to maturity. If the corn is
overmatured it will be necessary to
add water which can best be done by
using hose and putting the water in
at the blower, using from one-half to
one barrel per load according to the
dryness of the fodder. Where the
| silage is to be used for fattening,
rather than milk production, it is inn
portant that the corn be mature, and
for this purpose it is best to plant an
early variety in those sections where

Exercise Mare and Foal
in Cool of the Evening

In the evening when il is cool and
the flies are inactive. turn the mare
and fOal out on pasture. This will
allow the colt to get plenty Of ex-
ercise, grass, and fresh air with the
least possible interference from flies.
When the mare is not working, the
pasture is the best place for both
mare and foal. but they should be pro-
vided with shade Of some sort. When
natural shade is not available, cheap
structure should be built to meet the
needs. Hang a few sacks under the
trees or in the shed so that the mare
and foaI can use them to chase off
flies.

Hard Luck" With Pigs
Result of Wrong Feeds

A great deal Of so-caIled "hard luck"
with young pigs soon after narrowing
can be traced directly to improper
feeding and in most cases to over
feeding of the sows. Just because a
SOW seems hungry just after farrow-
ing is no index that she should re-
ceive feed
A liberal supply of water should al
ways be available. This will usually
satisfy and quiet the SOW She should
receive very little feed for at least
"A hours after narrowing. The first
few feeds of grain should be light
and fed in the form of thick slop.
She should not be on full feed for
from six to ten days after narrowing.

Renovating Strawberry
Bed Soon After Harvest

The strawberry patch which has
borne one crop should be renovated
soon after harvest. This is done by
blowing out the plants on either one
or both sides of the row, leaving
strip only about four inches wide
The soil of the plowed land is thor
oughly cultivated and if spike
toothed harrow is used, cross-cultiva-
ton may be practiced so that a good
bed is made for the new runner
plants. Under good soil conditions
these will start to row within a short
time and will make a row of new
plants IL to 16 inches wide by early
fall. The new plants are confined
to the proper width by continuing
cultivation until they cease to grow.
Usually it does not pay to renovate
a commercial strawberry patch that
has already produced two crops, al
though a home patch, under very
favorable conditions, may be allowed
to yield three and sometimes four
crops.
