Real Use Found
for SunhoWers
Crop Used Successfully Both
for Silage and for Its
Seed for Oil.

The sunf1ower bids fair to become @
regular farm crop in the light OF ex-
periments conducted by the Ontario
Agricultural college in Canada ana
various state stations. It has been
used successfully both as silage crop
and for it's seeds as feed and for their
OIL Southern Illinois Joined the SUM-
flower procession when It's corn crop
failed and there have been favorable
reports on the sunfower crop from
that section. The Ontario Agricultu-
raj college report says:
''The average results of the analy-
ses of the sunflowers compare very IA
vorably with those OF corn being par
tfcularly Tich in protein and fat"

The Montana station reports:
"When digestible nutrients, yield per
acre, drought and froSt-resisting quail

ever corn for silage purposes in the
higher mountain valleys Of the West
or, in other sections of the United
States or Canada with similar climatic
conditions"
The station at Alberta, Canada, re-
ports "From our experiments we are
quite in favor Of the use Of sunfiow-
ers for sflage."
British Columbia reports: "All the.
animals take to the sunflower silage
quite readily and their flow Of milk
is normal and absolutely satisfac-
tory"
Not Equal TO Corn.
Oregon reports that sunffowerS
make good silage but are not the
equal of corn. Pennsylvania says that
the milk flow is not as well main
tanned on sunhowers as on corn. New
Hampshire says the cows did not rel
ish sunfower silage at first but took
to it readily little later. West Vir-
ginta reports sunflower silage as q
success. Colorado station says itB

Chicks Prompted to Eat
Dirt bv Abnormal Taste

It may be an abnormal taste in
chicks which prompts them to eat dirt,
but clean dirt will do them no harm
and seems to satisfy a craving. Give
them sod every day, roots up, and
see how the little things love their
miniature jungle.
Dirt which Is taken up with food is
another thing. II the practice is to
feed on the ground the food quickly
becomes foul and may be poisonous to
the chicks. The modern method with
baby chicks rs to give all feed from
clean boards and water In vessels that
cannot be polluted, and are chick
proof. A chick has the faculty Of
drowning in very little water, acces-
sible through very small hole.

"Stringhalt" in Horses
Can Usually Be Remedied

The condition commonly known as
'stringhalt" in horses can usually be
cured by an operation, says DR.. W.F.
Guard Of Iowa State college.
The ailment, may be either mere
symptom accompanying some other
condition such as spawn. or the pc
culiar movement may be involuntary.
The involuntary cases are usually re-
ferred to as the true springhalt. Doc
tor Guard states that the treatment
varies according to the existing con-
ditions, but that In the majority Of
cases the condition may be greatly
benefited If not entirely cured by op-
erations. These operations require
the services of competent veteri-
marian.
Several cases Of stringhalt are op-
Grated on yearly in the surgical clinic
of the veterinary division Of Iowa
State college and the majority of the
operations are successful.

White Leghorns Produce
Largest Number of Eggs

There is a general belief that no
other hen Is capable Of laying as
many eggs in year as White Leg
horn. 1t Is true that White Leghorns
have shown remarkable reproducing
records and they are particularly well
adapted for egg production instead OF
meat production. Definite studies
show. however, that the heavier
breeds, such as the Plymouth Rocks,
may produce just as many eggs and
may be even more satisfactory for the
small farm flock because of being bet
ter meat producers. Leghorns, how
ever. are beautiful birds, highly EN-
cient and very popular.

Dairy Hints


Provide fresh, pure water IN
abundance and easy of access.
The advantage Of scrub cow Is
that 1t doesn't take 80 long to milk
her.
Clean the entire body Of the cow
daily: hair in the region Of the udder
should be kept short by clipping.
Why make the good cows support
the scrubs? Let the scales and the
Babcock test be your guide.
Home mixed feeds concocted with
the correct proportion Of different in
gradients are now being successfully
fed to young calves as q substitute
FOR milk.
In milking be quiet, quick,
clean, and thorough. Commence
milking at the game hour every morn
aux and evening. and milk the cows
IN the same order. 50

Poultry Hints

AtAtt 4 ~ r. M q 4 Ests1s
Sanitation Is 1.-THE most important
factor in raising poultry.
Most Of the roup and colds in, the
poultry focks are due to poor ventila-
ton.
Hens must be kept In good
healthy condition II they are to pro-
duce eggs.
Bread soaked In milk and squeezed
out nearly dry makes good starter
for young turkeys.
To get high-grade results from your
chickens you must expect to give them
high-grade attention.
The common geese found on many
farms can be improved by crossing
with pure-bred ganders.
The good type hen is strong, vigor-
GUS and capable Of standing the heavy
strain Of continued egg production.
