Fish Meal Is Valuable
Material for the Pigs

That farmers would profit by using
larger quantities of fish meal for hog
feeding, Is the opinion of W. l.. Rob
ison. in charge of swine investiga-
tions at the Ohio experiment station.
When carried In dry lot from 81 to 238
pounds in weight and when tankage
and fish meal were valued at the same
price a ton, pigs receiving corn and
fish meal made cheaper and more
rapid gains than those receiving corn
and tankage The cost Of feed for
each 100 pounds Of gain for the pigs
getting fish meal was 1892. age-fed
pigs. With few exceptions fish meal
has proved to be worth more for feed
ing purposes than an equal weight Of
tankage. A summary Of experiments
at different stations shows saving of
IS cents In the cost Of feed for each
100 pounds Of gain In favor Of fish
meal.
Fish meal also compared favorahly
with SKINNED milk for feeding in con-
nectIon with corn. II middlings. lin
seed meal. or soy beans are fed with
corn, or corn and other grains, the
benefit from feeding fsh meal will be
even greater than when II II substi-
tuted for dairy by-products or tank

LET BABY BEEVES
RUN ON PASTURES

Each year 4 number Of boys and
girls pasture feed" the calves which
they have entered In the baby beef
club project. They allow their calves
to run with the herd during the day
and bring them In at night for their
grain ration.

calves grow, and, perhaps. make fair
gains, but do not put on the finish re-
quired In the show ring.
There are good reasons why this
plan should be avoided The calves
suffer from the heat and flies They
spend too much time running around
and too little time resting. To make
good gains, they must be well fed,
comfortable, and get just enough ex-
ercise to keep In good health and
vigor.
The best plan is to keep the calves
In during the day and turn them out
In the lot at night for exercise Give
them the freedom of a roomy, we'll

tied up day after day. The box stall
should have ample window space. By
removing the windows, and by cover.
ing the openings with gunny sack
much needed fresh air is obtained
and flies are kept out as well as the
heat from the sun The box stall
should be cleaned and fresh bedding
should be added each day. More than
one calf may be kept In the same box
stall, but the animals should be as
near the same age as possible
II calves are to be allowed to run
on pasture at all, 1t should be at night,
and the field should be comparatively
small and located near the buildings
to prevent too much exercise The
thing to keep in mind Is that a rea-
sonable amount of exercise Is neces-
sary to promote health and vigor and
keep the calves active on their feet
and legs; but If overdone, 1t inyari-
ably retards gains.

Small Sheep Flock Very
Profitable Investment

A small flock of sheep upon every
farm would not be bad mark to set,
providing, Of course. that the owner
of the farm liked sheep. A small flock
of sheep is valuable In destroying
weeds, cleaning the fields and fence
corners. Sheep will eat 80 per cent
of all the plants which are regarded
as weeds, while cattle and horses will
only eat about so per cent They con-
sumo material that cannot be readily
utilized by the other farm animals,
and convert this into wool and NUT
ton. The grain left In the stubble Is
not lost to a flock of sheep and they
will Craze volunteer growth and after
math on fields where the growth Is
too scanty for other live stock.
The animal investigation section Of
The Colorado Agricultural college In
cooperation with the United States
government at Akron, Colo, were
able to maintain sheep at the rate OF
100 ewes upon so to 40 acres of sod
These ewes lived upon the weeds and
by-products Of the cropping system
Many farms have land which Is not
easily put under cultivation This
waste land can be used for profitable
returns by small flock Of sheep
There is an opportunity to Increase
the farm income by a small flock Of
sheep.-B. w. Fairbanks, Extension

Mr.. Norris, I yield to the Senator
from New York.

that the Senator from Wyoming is

Forest Rangers I
Conduct Conference

The final session of the conference
OF forest rangers of the National For
ests of northern Colorado and south
ern wyoming, which was in session
at the University last week. on Thurs
day discussed the present status of
grazing on the forests.
Prominent in the discussions were
the considerations given to way and
means by which the forest service
might encourage and assist the live
stock industry in its present depress-
ed condition. 1t was generally agreed
that a better calf crop would be of
material benefit and steps will be
taken to encourage the use of more
and better bulls and the breeding
Of cows before they r turned on
the open ranges. In some cases the
construction of community pastures
on the lands Of lower elevation along
the forest boundaries can be COM
pleted az such an aid.
A very concrete problem in many
cases is the question of spring range
to be available after water is turned
on the meadows and before the Ma
tfOnal forest ranges which are usual
ly at higher elevations can be used.
1t is planned to- recommend to the
stockmen that in cases of a shortage
OF summer range, attention be given
to the use of irrigated pastures, such
pastures to consist of the meadow
lands which yield low crops Of hay,
reserving the better lands for hay
production Experiments of the Col
orado Experiment Station have prov
en- that such use yields a much high
er net return than the production
of hay. Such a practice is now in
effect by ]. M. May & Sons Of Fill
more and A. E. Dwinell in the neck
of North Park as we'll as others. Such
a practice of holding the breeding
cows from the Open ranges not only
results in a higher calf crop but en-
ables a greater number of cattle to
be placed on the National Forest
ranges.
The most active discussion center
ed around the question of the de-
velopment of range management
plans. These plans are to be put
into effect on all cattle units and
sheep allotments. They are not to
be complicated but a simple plan for
the proper use and distribution Of
stock on each unit or allotment. In
addition to a well worked out sailing
plan to secure complete and uniform
distribution of stock, the plan will
provide for the time of liberation of
stock on the different submits based
on the class and density of forage and
the development of forage plants,
will provide for the construction OF
needed improvements insluding water
development and trails. will correlate

lection of ~overgrazed areas and for

Comparatively Low
Taxes are Assessed
Wyoming Property

A thorough study OF the Wyom-
ing tar levies has been recently COM
pleted by the State Board of Equal
i~zation. and comparative statistics
have been obtained on the levies dur
Ing the past few years. The Board
ascertained in its study OF the taxing
problem in Wyoming that the people
Of the commonwealth are paying
comparative low taxes this year. &C.
cording to Claude l.. Draper. a MEM
Der Of the Board.
I'VE find the tax levy of 1909 to
be PAT mills and the levy Of 1924
2.8152 mills" Mr.. Draper stated
The levy Of 1924 covered practical
ly all OF the state activities which
were covered by the levy of 1909 and
la addition thereto included a levy
Tor interest on state highway bonds,
tuberculosis sanitarium and for
normal training schools amounting
to 90 Of q mill. In other words.
the levy Of 1924 would have been
2.o.62 mills II It could have been
possible to exclude the levies for the
three activities above mentioned.
1T Is rue that the state levy Of
1924 raised considerable more reven
NC than the levy OF 1909. but the
question of greatest importance. how
ever. IL not the aggregate amount
raised. but rather how the raising
Of this additional effected

FARMERS LEGISLA-
TIVE PROGRAM

Farm organizations in California
including the State Grange, Farm
Bureau Federation, Farmers Union,
Farm Legislative Committee and
marketing organizations are united
in a statement that public utilities
owned by cities shall be taxed, and
that issuance of all tax-free %securit-
les shall be prohibited.
These two propositions are per-
fectly logical when it is considered
that critics operating public utilities
issue tax-free securities with which
to construct the same, thus exempt
ing large properties from taxation,
and at the same time enabling large
financial interests to escape their
federal income taxes
Tax-free, c~ity-Owned utilities built
with issues of tax-free securities IRE
ate a privileged condition for dwell
ers in cities and "a a double burden
upon the owners Of the farms that is
arbitrary, unjust and absolutely un-
fair in its operations. The Petaluma
Argus. championing agriculture's ma
jor legislative program. says, editor
tally:
Those who evade this state tax
live almost entirely in our cities. The
amount OF this tax, now being shift
ed upon the backs Of those who live
outside the larger cities, especially
upon the farming class. amounts to
millions OF dollars annually.
There are good and substantial
reasons why publicly owned public
utilities should contribute to the cost
of maintaining the state government
In exact proportion with privately
owned public utilities. and no good
and valid why they should
not do So"
