Cattle Need Protein to
Make Profitable Gains

A certain amount of protein is alb
solutely essential in cattle-feeding op-
erations. Where alfalfa or clover hay
is the sole roughage it is not neces-
sary to use any protein feed, but
where alfalfa or clover is fed in con-
nection with other rOughages, the ad-
dition Of one pound of cottonseed
meal per head per day will reduce the
cost of gains materially.
If no alfalfa or other leguminous
hay is fed, two pounds of cottonseed
meal per head per day will produce
gains considerably cheaper than in
the cases where none is fed, accord
ing to DR.. C. w. McCampbell, head Of
animal husbandry work at the Kansas
State Agricultural college.

Propagate Currants
and Gooseberries
Cuttings May Be Made From
Vigorous Bushes.

For those who would like to planr
but do not wish to go to the trouble
of getting them from a nursery, prop
agation by cuttings is suggested by
the New Jersey State College of Agri-
culture as very easy and economical
method.
Cuttings may be made from vigorous
healthy bushes any time during fall,
winter or early spring. If made dur
ing the spring, care must be taken to-
see that the plants from which cuttings
are taken are still perfectly dormant.
The lower and middle portions Of
vigorous, one-yearOld wood should be.
cut into lengths of six or eight inches.
The cuttings are then tied in bundles,
of 90 with the bases of the cuttings all
pointing the same way. These bundles
should then be buried upside down
in light, we'll drained soil, and com
pletely covered in such way that
there will be two or three inches Of
soil over the ends of the bundles. The
base of the cuttings will begin to
callOuS over two or three weeks after
they are buried. If the ground is
frozen, the cuttings may be stored in
cool place in sand or soil which
must be kept moist until they can be
buried outside.
AS soon as the soil is in a tillable-
condition in spring the cuttings may
be planted six inches apart in the
nursery row. The depth of planting
should be such that only one or two
buds are above the surface of the.
ground.
Where only one or two additional
plants are desired, they may easily
be secured by layering, which consists.
of bending some of the side branches
down to the ground, and covering
them with small mound of soil until
roots are formed

Choose Right Varieties
in Planting a Vineyard

Some hints on planting grapes are
offered by ]. Harold Clark, assistant
pomologist Of the New Jersey agri-
cultural experiment station. The
choice of varieties is of first impor-
tance in planting vineyard. The va
meet the requirements Of New Jersey
growers are the old standards headed
by Concord (blue), Brighton (bluish
red), and Niagara (white). For home
use several others may be recommend
ed, such as Ontario, Campbell Early,
Worden and Delaware.
Grapes will thrive on many types of
soils, but fertile or sandy loan is
desirable for a vineyard site. The
planting distance will vary according
to variety, fertility of soil and type Of
implements which will be used for
cultivation A good average distance
on fertile soil in 8 feet apart in rows
10 feet apart
Large, vigorous, one-year-old plants
should be purchased from a reliable
nursery The time Of planting Is usu-
ally early spring and the methods are
about the same as for tree fruits. The
vines should be planted as deep as or
a little deeper than they were in the
nursery row. The top should all be
pruned off with the exception Of two
strong buds on the strongest cane. Cut
the long roots back to to inches so
that they can be spread out and soil
worked in among them in hole II
to 18 inches In diameter.

SILAGE VALUABLE
AS CATTLE FEED

Farmers usually regard silage as a
dairy necessity, but few of them real
ize how valuable 1t is when properly
combined with other feeds in fatten-
ing steers.
Indiana experiment station gave
some interesting facts about Silage in
this connection as part of their Inter-
national show exhibit They compared
the economy and efficiency of a stand
ard ration with and without silage.
The feed required to fatten a car
load of 20 two-year-old steers amount
ed to As tons of cottonseed meal, 43
tons of silage, 752 bushels of corn,
and five tons of clover hay.
The land required 10 grow this feed
was Is acres of corn grain, 5.4 acres
of silage corn, and two and a half
acres of clover hay. This was total
acreage of 22.9 acres Without silage,
it took % acres of farm-grown feed
made up of 10 acres of corn grain and
nine acres Of clover
Feed to make each pound of gain
amounted to SO pounds corn, 13
pounds clover hay, 1.3 pounds of cot
tonseed meal, and 11.5 pounds of
silage. The profit was reckoned along
with hogs following the steers. For
the car lot using silage the profit was
1898, and for the car lot fed no silage
the profit was $299.
Cottonseed meal increases the finish
and selling value of steers, while the
silage used in the ration cheapens the
cost of production. Less land is re-
quired to produce feed for a car lot
of steers when silage is fed.

Proper Feed Will Make
Vigorous Litter of Pigs

The greater the number of pigs
raised per sow the less the cost per
pig The unborn pig is built quite
largely of protein, hence the neces-
sity of feeding plenty of protein to
the SOW from breeding to farrowing
time in order that she may produce a
large. strong, thrifty, vigorous litter,
say live stock authorities at the Kan
sas State Agricultural college. The
brood sow should have either One-half
pound of tankage, one pound of lin
seed oil meal one pound of soy beans
or one gallon of skim milk or butter
milk per day to furnish the needed
protein, they advise

Municipal Parks One
of Todoy's Great Needs

Municipal parks of the larger type,
which combine the advantages OF the
great national parks and the small
neighbOrhOOd parks, are, in some re-
spects, the type most needed by Amer
lean cities, Karl B. LOhmann, chief Of
landscape architecture at the college
of agriculture, University of Illinois,
says in an article in Parks and Recre-
alton
Our great national parks are too far
removed from the people in cities to
serve them adequately, LOhmann
points out. Neither are the small
neighboOrhood parks, which are with
in easy reach of many, the ideal form
because they afford so little Of what
the brain-wearied people of the city
most demand, he adds.
1.-The type to which we may turn
therefore, must be one that combines
as nearly as possible the advantages
of these two extremes, having pri-
marily scenery on the one hand and
accessibility on the other. From this
we may assume that it must be a
place of considerable size, within fair
ly convenient reach of the people and
offering them a feeling Of the open
country, with woods and views over
stretches of grass and water sufficient
to provide refreshment of mind and
body for hours at a time"
Parks are beginning to occupy an
outstanding place in the lives of the
American people, Lohmann says. Mil
lions of collars have been spent in
this country and millions Of acres
have been acquired for park purposes.
while the demand for parks goes on in
creasing and finds continuous expires
sion in the requirement of new lands
and further new developments.

Decorative Plants

Plants, bulbs, flowers or fruit form
house decorations which give much re-
turn in pleasure for very little money
spent. The important thing, however,
is to be on the lookout for something
that will give the touch to room that
corresponds to the high light in q
picture.
English ivy, especially when trained
over a trellis, is very satisfactory
Bulbs also give excellent results and
for those who enjoy flowers but do not
care to spend much time over them
nothing is 80 desirable as paper white
narcissus. Hyacinths, jonquils and
psle pink Murillo tulips are lovely.

Feed Value of Pumpkins

Pumpkins have some feed value for
milk production and should be fed
when there is no market for them.
They are of about the same feed value
as fiat turnips. There is an old ira
dition that they tend to dry cows up
when fed in large amounts. 1t is con-
sidered advisable to remove the seeds
when they are fed in any considerable
amount, as there is probably more
danger of trouble being in the seed
than the other parts.

Improving Hen Flocks

Many poultry keepers are success
full in improving their f1Ocks by paying
attention to the type Of birds that they
use as breeders. If your own stock is
not satisfactory, it may be more
economical to purchase new stock than
to attempt to improve your own. How
ever, be sure that the new stock is
superior to yours and when once a
satisfactory stock is obtained, do not
destroy it by constantly bringing In
new blood

Try Sprouted Oats

There is nothing that does more to
promote egg production and the gen
eral health of the fowls during the
winter months than sprouted oats.
This is such a cheap feed and oats
are so easily sprouted that it is sur
prising that there should still be some
sprouted oats to their birds good
sprouter should be considered a ne
cessity on every poultry plant. They
can be had in many forms and in any
size to suit the largest as we'll as the
smallest poultry raiser. If you have
never fed sprouted oats, try it.

Poultry Notes

If houses and coops are not kept
clean lice and mites take control Of
things.
Don't forget gravel for the hens
when snow covers the grOund-it's 8
their teeth.
Make a close examination frequent
Iy to see whether birds are gaining or
losing in weight.
Health, vigor and vitality must be
maintained in poultry If winter eggs
are to be obtained
Resolve that this year, If never be-
FORE you will supply plenty of litter
and see that it is changed often.

Cheap, but Ideal Floor
for the Poultry House

Eight inches of cinders, gravel or
crushed rock covered with about two
inches Of rich cement will make a
cheap but ideal floor for the poultry
house. The porous material under
the cement will tend to keep the floor
dry. The filling should be tamped
until 1t forms solid base for the
concrete.
Hollow tile forms perhaps a more
satisfactory base for the cement, and
only one-half inch Of cement is needed
to cover a carefully laid floor. 1t is
more expensive than the other filler.
1t should be laid on layer of sand
and then covered with rich cement to
make smooth surface which Is more
easily cleaned

Dehorning Young Calves

When calves are few days old clip
the hair from the buttons where the
horns start. This can be done with
an ordinary pair of scissors. Secure
stick Of caustic potash at the drug
store and with it rub the buttons of
the horns until the spot becomes quite
red, but the rubbing should be stopped
before the blood will run from the
button. The end Of the caustic potash
should be inserted in some water be-
fore the application is made

Live Stock Hints

Young animals make the best use
of feed.
The most effective method Of rid
ding cattle OF lice is by dipping.
Do not feed moldy hay to borses If
you wish to avoid serious ailments.
A beef cow carries more fat under
her hide than dairy COW, and fat is
a most excellent nonconductor of heat.

Keep Cows Contented

Feeding cows for production, re-
gardless Of cost, and feeding for eco
nomical production are two very diff
cided increase, but with also a very
decided expense, for cow crowded
beyond a natural milk capacity must
of necessity be fed at greatly In
creased cost.

HORSE SHOT DEAD

TUCSON, July 26. - Two and one
half miles south of tho Tom Wills
ranch where Lon Parker, United States
patrol inspector and former cattleman
and ranger, wasj round mortally
wounded Sunday afternoon, posse
searching the hills today for a c1ew
leading to the identity of Parker's
slayer, found at o'clock the body of
IA dead Mexican and his horse. Both
Mexican and horse had been shot re-
Gently.
One hand of the dead Mexican grip
ped a rope tied about the horses neck.
The messages tonight from Canaille
stated that it presumed that Parker
and the Mexican engaged in gun
fight when the officer attempted to
intercept his load of contraband liq-
uor. Whether Parker was killed by
the Mexican he is thought to have
downed, or whether he was ambushed
by another smuggleH hiding in the
bushes could not be learned.
Another strange angle to the case
developed when it was found that
Parkers guns were completely loaded
when he was found unconscious at the
Wills ranch and where he died 80
second after he was found. Members
Of the local patrol service state that
| it is possible that Parker reloaded
his guns after his duel with the Mexi-
can and later was slipped in the back
! by a partner of the man he killed.
| IN COCHISE COUNTY
Examination of the wound on Par
kers body disclosed that he had been
shot in the back with a .3O-30 rifle.
According to a statement made by the
NogaIes officers, the shooting occurred
about one mile over the Santa Cruz
lines in Cochise county. Funeral SER
vices for Parker will be held at
o'clock Tuesday afternoon from the
| Carson chapel at Nogales. The Elks
lodge will be in charge of the service
at the cemetery. Burial will be made
in the American legion plot of the

Man Dies of Wounds;
Dead Mexican Located
(By Dispatch h p. wire)

NOGALES, July 26.-The body of an
unidentified Mexican. pitched across a
dead horse, with high powered rifle
still clasped in his hands, was found
late today in the Camille mountains,
two miles distant from the spot where
Lon Parker, United States border pa
troll inspector, was found in an un-
conscious condition, mortally wounded,
Sunday afternoon.
This information was received at the
local sheriff's office from the Camille
mountain ranger station this evening
Parker died without regaining con-
sciousness.
The body was found by Jim Hatha-
way, one of posse of county officers
that started in pursuit of Parker's
slayers late yesterday. Beside the
body, the reportT said, was small
heap of exploded. cartridges. bearing
mute testimony to the battle that had
been waged before the Mexican's blaz-
ing weapon had been stilled by the
mans death. Indications were that
the mans horse had been shot out
from under him, Hathaway said.
Parker, shot in the back, is believed
to have turned on his assailant even
though mortally wounded. Parker, Of
ficers believe, then found his way to
the spot where he was found later in
the day in a dying condition.
The tragedy occurred in Cochise
county, the report said, and as re-
suit Cochise county officers have
taken a hand in the man hunt, still
in progress, and the investigation. A
coroners jury has been empaneled in
that county to view the MeNican's

The Brandenstein name dates back
to 1850 when Joseph Brandenstein
entered the mercantile business in
San Francisco. Three of his sons
later went into the tea and coffee
business as partners. Two of the
