NEW SWINE RATION
SAVES MUCH MONEY

Swine suffer much more frequently
from unbalanced, inefficient rations
than do any other class Of live stock" !"
says f. B. Morrison, nationally known
authority on animal nutrition at the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
He accounts for this in the fact that
hogs are fed largely on grain which
is poor both in protein and mineral
matter, and that they eat relatively
little roughage, except when on pas
ture. He says that the so-called
STANDARD ration" for growing pigs.
composed Of corn and tankage Is in
adequate for developing thrifty fall
litters-skim milk or other dairy by
products are available at weaving
time.
Morrison, with J. NJ. Fargo of the
university swine department, has de-
veloped ration, which has given sur
prising results in making fall pigs
grow as well as spring pigs. 'This
ration" Morrison says, lis simply q
combination Of corn, tankage, chopped
alfalfa hay, and last-but not least
linseed meal. This combination has
been tested on hundreds of pigs, and
we are certain of the results" he de-
clares.
1.-THE experiments brought out that
pigs fed on the corn and takage ra-
tion gained slightly less than a pound
a day, while those fed the efficient
combination, given above, gained LIS
pounds, on the average. This differ
ence meant that the pigs fed this new
ration reached the market weight Of
200 pounds % days before those fed
on the ration of corn and tankage
alone, thereby saving about a months
labor in feeding and caring for the
pigs"
"Still more important was the saw
ing in feed" he went on. "The pigs
given only corn and tankage required
417.9 pounds Of corn and 47.4 pounds
of tankage for each 100 pounds gain
while those fed the efficient combina-
tion, needed only 37S pounds of corn,
31.4 pounds of tankage, 1915 pounds Of
chopped alfalfa hay, and 1916 pounds
of linseed meal to make the same
gain-a saving Of 1877 pounds Of feed
in putting on each 100 pounds OF

FARM NOTES:

Sweet clover is one Of the best pas
lures and is a great crop for improv--
Ing the soil.
Out of 1O7 varieties of common weed
seeds buried for 20 years 50 grew

Right now is the time to prevent
pocket gophers from harming next
years alfalfa and potato crops.
Agricultural economists say this is
the year for boys to study agriculture,
and that farm bought now should
be worth more later.
No product which has to be shipped

Various Kinds of Green
Feeds Good for Poultry

Good kinds of green feeds are
sprouted oats, alfalfa meal, chopped
alfalfa and clover hay, cabbages and
mangel beets. In ordinary cellars
cabbages do not keep so we'll as man
gel beets, so they should be used up
first. Cabbages may be hung up in
the poultry house; the beets are usu-
ally split and stuck on a nail in the
side wall of the pen about foot above
the ground. Vegetables which have
been frozen can be thawed out and
fed to fowls, but do not keep well
after thawing. Glover and alfalfa
may be fed as hay, cut into one-quar-
ter or one-half-inch lengths, or they
may be bought in the form of meal.
Oats and barley for sprouting are
soaked overnight in warm water and
then spread out from one-half to one
inch thick on trays having perforated
bottoms and put into an oat sprouter.
Water the oats thoroughly and turn
the trays around once daily to pro-
mote even sprouting. Artificial heat
should be supplied in cool weather by
the use of kerosene lamp or by some
other means. Use a good grade of
oats and allow square inch Of Sprout-
ed oats surface per hen daily, feeding
the poultry house or in the yard, Feed
the sprouted grain at any time after

Turkey Hen Hunts Nest
Long Before She Lays

Long before she is ready to lay, the
turkey hen goes nest hunting. She
steps lightly here and there, peering
into dark corners, into empty barrels
and boxes. When she is ready to lay
she goes direct to the nest she has
chosen, and settles down. If we want
our turkeys to lay in convenient places
near by where there can be no ques-
ton as to the ownership of the eggs,
then convenient nests for turkey hens
should be put out and the hens al
lowed to find them.
When the turkey becomes broody,
like a chicken hen, she should be al
lowed to sit on the nest for two or
three days before she is given her
clutch of eggs. While she is on her
term of probation, dust her with So
dunn fluoride under each wing. around
the thigh Joint, over the back, under
the body and around the vent.
Do not give her too many eggs.
From fifteen to twenty are enough.
Chicken hens are inquisitive crea-
tures. If the turkey nest is within
reach of their prowlings, they will
disturb her; If necessary to shut the
turkey hen in, she should be released
at the same time, preferably in the
evening, for food and exercise. The
period of incubation is twenty-eight
days. Fresh eggs will pip little ear
lier than the older eggs.
Arizona state miner., 1926-04-24
PROPER PLAN FOR
RAISING TURKEYS

Turkey hens, chicken hens and in
cubators are commonly used to incu-
bate turkey eggs. During the early
part Of the laying season 1t often hap
pens that one has on hand a number
Of eggs that should be incubated be-
fore any Of the turkey hens are
through laying their first litter and
become "broody." In such case, and
also when it is desired that the tur-
key hens lay more than one litter
some of the eggs have to be incubated
under chicken hens or in an incuba-
tor. About week before the poults
are due to hatch, turkey hens enough
should be allowed to sit to take all the
poults Matched. They can be given a
few eggs from the incubator or from
under the chicken hens and allowed
to hatch the poults themselves, or at
night a newly-hatched poult can be
slipped under each turkey hen that is
to be given brood Of poults and by
morning she will be glad to take them.
Lice are great annoyance to sit
ting hens and are one Of the worst
enemies Of young poults. To prevent
their getting a foothold, dust the hen
thoroughly with some good lice pow
der before she is placed on the nest
and once week thereafter while she
is sitting The nesting material
should be kept clean, and if the eggs
become dirty they should be washed
with lukewarm water.
If the weather is warm and dry no
shelter is required as the poults do
better in the open. Should it be rainy,
however, they need to be protected,
for nothing is more injurious than for
them to become wet and chilled. The
most satisfactory plan is to confine the
mother turkey hen to a coop and al
low the poults to run in and out when
ever rain does not prevent. This
coop should be placed in field where
they can run out and find grasshop-
pers, green vegetation, and other feed.
The coop should be moved to fresh
ground every day.

Directions for Killing
Trees bv Using Arsenic

The following directions for killing
trees with arsenic are taken from the
Australia Forestry Journal:
Formula.
Arsenic, one pound.
Washing soda, one pound.
Whiting, one pound.
Water, four gallons.
Dissolve the soda in a small amount
Of water. Mix the arsenic with lit
tie water to form a paste and add to
the soda, stirring continuously. Boil
the mixture for at least half an hour,
avoiding inhaling the fumes which,
being poisonous, sometimes cause sick
ness. Mix the whiting with the rest
of the water and add after removing
from the fire.
The best results are obtained by ap-
plying the arsenic in the winter, al
though trees may be killed at any sea-
son Of the year.
Make a series Of overlapping ak cuts
completely around the tree, through
the bark and well into the tree. Leave
the chips on to form a "frill." Pour
from one-half pint to a quart or more
Of the arsenic mixture into the cuts,
saturating thoroughly. An old teapot
is convenient to use In applying the
poison. Small trees may be cut off low
down and the cut swabbed with poison.
This effectively prevents suckering.
This poison has salty taste and
stock should be kept away until the
rains have washed 1t all off the trees.

Horticultural Notes

ooOOOOoOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOoOoOOO
Mature grapevines should be pruned
back to about forty buds.
Why market ungraded, mixed fruit
when quality apples bring at least one
dollar more per box?
Illinois peach growers report that
their trees are full of buds, and all
they want now is mild weather.
A few fruit tree diseases require a
strong spray, best applied when the
trees are dormant during the winter.
1t will soon be too late to use this
spray method.

Oyster Not for Her

found one small oyster in her plate.

GENERAL STRIKE
AID S BRITISH
LABOR PARTY
By eILL Ross, Federated Press.


LONDON - (FP) - Announcement
that Neville Chamberlain, Minister Of
Health, has given up a working class
district in Birmingham and changed to
a swell" residential district of the
anne city which has a safe Conserva-
tive majority, indicates the political
trend.
Four successful by-elections for the
Labor Party made Chamberlain realize
that his seat is as good as gone. In
1918 he won the seat by majority of
$3.50 over his labor opponent. In 1922
the majority fell down to 2,443, in
1928 to 1854 and in 1924 to barely II
votes. The Labor Party voiced some
doubt whether Chamberlain really Sc
cured the majority, but a contest
would have been too expensive.
Encouraged by the votes cast in the
recent by-elections and by the gen.
eral dissatisfaction with treatment of
the miners, the Labor Party challenges
the government to put the issue to a
general election.

1t is all part of the program to break

general attack on the wage workers of
the world in the present offensive of
capital. Labor in America and on the
sea, by uniting with capital in this
war on the men, women and children
Of the mining districts of the British
Isles, is digging its own grave. Those
who in any respect aid in this assault
on the hours and wages of the adj
vance guard of British labor are in
ternational "scabs" preparing the way
for further enslavement of all who toll

Worker Correspondents!
Get Into the Drive for
British Strike Relief
BY j. LOUIS ENoDAHL.
TKTORKER CORRESPONDENTS
This is an appeal to you'll

TEToRKER CORRESPONDENTS!
w This is an appeal to you!
You must do your part in helping
to raise huge sums to be sent to
England in aid of the striking coal
miners.
There are hundreds of you, nearly
thousand, scattered thruout all in
dustry, everywhere. At some time
or another you have sent in your
articles telling about the conditions
under which you and others work,
Now great joint effort is needed
to develop sentiment everywhere,
among all workers, resulting in
growing financial aid for the British
struggle.
More than one million coal min
ers (1,2OO,0OO) are in the trenches
in the British Isles, with their mil
lions of women and children, facing
the savage mine owners and their
lickspittle Baldwin tory government.
It is one of the worlds historic
labor struggles, continuing after the
collapse of the epochal general
strike. 1t has now ragged for nearly
four months. The miners refuse to
surrender to the demand of the coal
barons for a longer workday. They
fight on bravely.
Workers over the world were
aroused and enthused by the British
general strike. When it was betray-
ed by the officialdom, labor in many
lands lost sight of the fact that the
mine strike was being continued.
But the brilliant battle of the mine
strikers soon drew all attention once
more to the labor situation in Great
Britain. This was largely due to the
efforts Of the workers of the Union
Of Soviet Republics, who have not
only given S2,5OO,OOO in strike relief,
but have urged the Anglo-Russian
committee for world trade union
unity to press for international sol
idarity in support of this battle of
the workers.
Thus the facts of this gigantic
clash of opposing class interests in
the British Isles has become known
to American workers, who are now
being asked, by a visiting delegation
of the British miners, TO HELP.
Joseph Jones, of the Yorkshire
miners, is canvassing the Boston dis
trict; Ellen Wilkson, labor member
of the British parliament, is in the
New York district; Oliver Harris, of
the South Wales Miners Federation,
is in Philadelphia; Ben Tillett is
covering the Pittsburgh area; Paul
McKenna, of the Scottish Miners
Federation, is assigned to Chicago,
Milwaukee, Wise, and Minneapolis
and st. Paul, Mimi, while James
Robson, of the Durham miners, is in
the st. Louis district.
Never has a British labor strug-
gle been brought closer to the work
ers of the United States. But it must
be brought closer yet.

tute at Brookwood. Leiserson is i'm
partial arbitrator for the mems cloth
ing industry of Rochester, N. Y, and
is on the faculty of Antioch College,
Ohio.
Better Study Them.
"The important question is, what
sort of thing are these company I'M
ions; how do they operate; where do
they work best; how many men do
they include; what did the folks who
originated them expect to accomplish
and are they doing it; what do they
offer that trade unions do not? When
organized labor has the answers to
these questions, it will be in a fair
way to chart its own course"
Three Kinds.
The three kinds of company unions
listed by Leiserson are: Advisory, or
shop committee started during the
safety movement, which may deal
with recreation, working conditions
and wages, but is purely advisory and
informal; works councils, or equal
representation of workers with man
agement on various committees but
no power to workers, altho wages,
safety, etc. may be discussed final
appeal usually to the company board
of directors; committee representa-
ton plus arbitration by outsiders and
often the concession that employees
may hire outside representatives.
On Industrial Basis.
One advantage of company unions
according to Leiserson is the indus
trial basis on which many are or
ganized instead of on craft lines. How
ever company unions do not include
more than one plant, never all plants
pointed out. Skilled personnel man
ayers or industrial relations manag-
ers included in all successful COM
pany union schemes utilize their un-
derstanding of psychology and devise
welfare measures to fulfill workers
needs for recreation, social activity,
even education.
100000 in Company Unions.
Capture of company union appara-
tus by regular trade unions was urg-
ed in the discussion. OF the 1000
company unions embracing a million
and half workers, over half the
workers are in plants of $1,000 or
more employees and IS per cent are
in plants Of over 5000. 1T is in these
large plants that the unions will have
their fight" to have trade unions sup
plant company unions, declared Lei
serson.
