PETER MCCULLOUGH DIES

neer of Wyoming. died on Friday
OF last week at his home at Worden.

Mr. Mccullough was n of the
early day stockmen of this country.
coming here as cattle foreman for
Col. Belknap on Southfork, and aft
erward developing the famous TE
ranch, later owned by Col. w. F.
Cody. 1t was after this sturdy
pioneer that the range of peaks
to the east Of Cody were named.
The following sketch of his life
appeared in the Billings Gazette:
Native of Scotland
Mr.. Mccullough was a native of
Wigton, Scotland, where he was
born on July ~, 1899. He came to
this country when eleven years old,
crossing the ocean on a sailing YES
sci. His boyhood was spent in
Massachusetts. Just before the Civil
war he had come to st. Louis and
there enlisted at the beginning of
the war. He re-enlisted at the eN-
piration of his service and continued
in the army until the close of the
war. During most of the time he
was employed as a dispatch carrier
between different commands of the
northern army.
Shortly afterward he secured EN-
ployment with a survey party for
the Union Pacific, the first trans
continental line. and was with the
party from it's start at the Missouri
river until the survey was completed
to Salt Lake City. He was in
charge of the horse camp and had
several narrow escapes from the
Indians. who were constantly har-
assing the party. At n time while
working on a day herd he was cut
off from the main herd and was res
cued by soldiers sent out to drive
away the Indians.
Several of the soldiers in the
party were killed during the expedi-
ton. At another time the party
Rad an encounter near Buffalo, Wy
oming, with Red Cloud, the ia
nous Sioux chief, who for many
a t~errorized the western out
post, and who led the Indians in the
Fort Kearney massacre.
At Fort Bridger
Later Mr.. Mccullough located al
old Fort Bridger, near Laramie anc
engaged for several years as fore
man of the Carter ranches. While
he was living there he returned te
Iowa where his sisters were living
and married Miss Margaret Sinclair
there in 1873. With n exception
all of his children were born a

The possibilities in the another ton per acre

plants at thinning time.
Nearly 1000 beet workers have attended meetings

to the campaign for another ton per acre in 1926"
Similar meetings will shortly be held in other dis
trlcts, until the largest number of resident beet labor
erS are reached with the message of better work at
blocking and thinning time. The campaign will be con-
tinued throughout the growing and harvesting seasons
including the hoeing and topping.

tests on experimental and commercial beet
fields BY NO CHANGE IN HANDLING H

PROVED FIELD PRACTICES.
Last season the average spacing between beets
in fields harvested for the Great Western Sugar Com
pany was 81 inches. The idea is IL to ID inches. The
improvement in tonnage from leaving the strong plants
instead of weak seedlings in the thinned stand has al
ways been amply demonstrated.

But the beet labor will need the encouragement and
assistance of the growers II this aim Is to be realized.
The bonus clause in the labor contract Is the principal
motive for better hand work on the labor's part. The
sympathetic support of the grower, however, Is essen
tial.
The company is putting forth every effort to make
the campaign for another ton per acre in 1925" a
success. The contract workers are swinging in behind
the movement in a fine spirit. Will the growers as a

Promoting Chick Growth
by the Use of Sunlight

Direct sunlight as an essential in
promoting growth in chicks and in pre-
venting the development of leg weak
ness has been proved by recent expert
mcnts just announced by the poultry
department of the State College Of
Agriculture, New Brunswick, N. ].
One thousand chicks kept under
glass weighed Only one-fourth pound
at the end of II weeks, whereas 200
chicks of the same age, but kept out
doors in direct sunlight averaged one
and one-half pounds each.
Cod liver oil has for some time been
considered an effective growth stimu-
latOr and preventive of leg weakness,
so the truth of this was also investi-
gated by the experimenters. OF the
chicks under glass 800 were fed vary
ing amounts of the oil. At the end of
II weeks they were no more thrifty
than those receiving no oil. After the
fifth week leg weakness began to ap-
pear among all of the birds under
glass, whether they were being fed
cod liver oil or not. In contrast with
this the chicks kept in direct sunlight
showed no leg weakness at all.
The combination of direct sunlight
and cod liver also was tried by the
experiment station. Using 200 chicks
and feeding oil equivalent in weight
to per cent Of the ration, it found
that an average weight of one and
three-fourths pounds per chick had
been attained. This was one-fourth-
pound more than the weight of the
chicks getting sunlight but no oil.
1t was found that chicks kept be-
hind glass and developing leg weak
ness could be cured by half-hour ex-
posture to sunlight on four days.

Soy Beans Produce Best
Hay When Planted Thick

Thiekly planted soy beans produce
hay of greater feeding value than
those that are thinly planted, accord
ing to preliminary results of tests
which are being made by the college
of agriculture, University of Illinois.
Soys seeded with wheat drill at the
rate of one and a fourth bushels an
acre yielded hay with fine stems. only
six per cent Of which was refused by
dairy cows. In contrast to this, beans
that were seeded thinner produced
coarser hay, a larger proportion of the
stems being left uneaten. The plot
seeded at the rate of about a half
bushel an acre produced very coarse
hay, 10 per cent of which was refused.
according to DR.. w. B. Nevens, assist
ant chief of dairy cattle feeding at the
college. The difference in the feeding
value Of the fine stemmed hay as COM
pared with the coarse hay, therefore
was about IL per cent, or about 24O
pounds for each ton of hay fed.
For one thing the thinly seeded
plots contained more weeds, an i'm
portant factor affecting the quality of
hay.
Larger plots of soy beans are being
grown in the test with the object of
making further studies of the effect
of rate Of planting on the quality of
hay.

GRAIN PROPORTION
LOWER IN SUMMER

Although equal parts Of mash and
grain are often recommended. it is not
desirable to hold to any such arbitrary
figures. 1t is desirable, however, to
know what proportion Is being con-
sumed so that production may be
somewhat regulated During warm
seasons the proportion of grain should
naturally be lower than In winter as
less sugars, starches and fat are need
ed for body warmth.
When egg production and health are
satisfactory it is wise to let we'll
enough alone regardless of whether
more grain or more mash Is being con-
sumed. If production and consumption
of mash are both low, the trouble may
lay in too much grain being fed, or in
an unappetizing mash. If the birds
are poor in flesh and subject to colds,
the feeding of more grain is usually
the correct procedure.
Feeding wet mash instead of dry
mash is occasionally practiced with
success by skilled feeders. Because
there is considerable risk of overfeed-
Ing by this method, and because no
better results are secured for the time
expended, wet-mash feeding is not
recommended as a substitute for hop
per feeding of dry mash.
Wet mash in addition to hopper
feeding throughout the year is usually
unnecessary and dangerous in the
hands of the average feeder. This
practice is probably desirable and to
be advocated from July 1 to Septem-
Der l to postpone the moult, and on
slow-maturing pullets in the fall. Three
quarts before wetting to 100 birds is
sufficient. Feed mash at noon, so that
1t can be gradually discontinued when
tie desired results have been secured
without upsetting the regular feeding

Sudan Grass Excellent
as Stock Pasture Crop

Summer pasture crops, especially on
the dry lands, are quite necessary for
the best milk production and for grow
ing animals, say successful livestock
farmers. Experience has shown the
value of pasture crops to the stock
and also the fact that pasture crops
produce an abundance of excellent
feed. They save labor and build up
the soil.
For summer pasture on dry or irri-
gated lands, sudan grass is good. 1t
may be planted in rows or in drills. 1t
should be seeded now and will make
late summer and early fall pasture.
Seed used should be pure sudan, with
no cane mixture From four to ten
pounds of seed per acre is used on dry
lands, depending on whether 1t Is
rowed Or drilled In. Fifteen to twenty
pounds is seeded under irrigated con-
ditions and drilled In. Start pastur-
ing when five or six inches high and
keep pastured close.
Such pastures are carrying from
three-fourths of head to one head
per acre of mature cattle on dry lands
and from one and half to two head
of cattle per acre under irrigation.
With such a carrying capacity 1t be-
comes one Of our best feed producers
as well as furnishing fine quality Of
feed.-Waldo Kidder, Extension Sery-
ice, Colorado Agricultural college.

feed over that required for mainte-
nance. Good profits are secured from
the reserve energy and body weight
which cow gains by being brought
into good condition or conditioned"
during her dry period.
Thin Cows Handicapped.
This feed specialist maintains that
cows which are thin at calving time
never have a chance to do their best.
The calf from a COW that Is in good
condition at calving time will also
show good results from liberal feeding
during the mothers dry period. The
fitting ration should be fed literally
for period of four to six weeks and
up to within 10 days prior to calving
time, when the cornmeal should be
withdrawn from the mixture and the
amount reduced to four or five pounds
o day. This feeder advocates that
just before calving time ration be
supplied which is light enough to keep
the bowels in mildly laxative condi-
ton and has no tendency to produce
feverish condition.
