Superior Grain Mixture
Recommended by Purdue

A satisfactory grain mixture COM
monty fed in Indiana for milk produc-
ton is recommended by L. II. Fair
child of Purdue university. 1t is made
up Of four parts ground corn, two
parts ground oats, two parts bran and
one part linseed oil meal, all by weight.
Plenty of legume hay will reduce the
need of oil meal. Roughage consisting
of nonlegume hay and corn stover
needs at least two parts of some high
protein concentrate to balance.
Corn silage, alfalfa, clover or soy
bean hay and a grain mixture Of four
parts ground corn, two parts ground
oats and one part ground soy beans
provide all the nutrients necessary
for economical production. A grain
mixture of corn and oats or corn and
wheat bran is not complete because of
lack of protein. Cottonseed meal,
linseed Oil meal, corn gluten meal, soy.
bean oil meal or ground soy beans can
be used to bring up the protein con-
tent.

Keep Poultry Feed Bill
at a Reasonable Level

The food buyer who knows the
makeup of all kinds of feeding stuff
can save many dollars by taking ad-
vantage of every chance the market
affords. The price of a food is often
no guide to it's value. Poor crops
often make certain grains advance in
price out of all proportion to other
grains and mill products. On the
other hand a food which is very plen-
tiful for the time, or a refuse food too
little known to meet with ready sale
may be bought at great bargain. By
comparing the nutrients the feeder
will get very fair idea Of relative
food values. The per cents Of protein,
carbohydrates and fats are of course
of main Importance. The potential
energy or fuel value is also good
general Indicator of the nutriment pres
ent. Refuse or secOnd-class products
suitable for poultry can be bought
very cheap in large cities, and the
poultryman who knows the values OF
these substances can keep his feed bill
at a reasonable level even when stand
ard grain feeds are scarce and high.

Best and Cheapest Way
to Maintain Dairy Herd

The problem of what is the best
and cheapest way to maintain a herd
of dairy cows Is always before the
man who produces milk. 1t is prac-
tically impossible to give a standard
set of rules which will apply in all
cases. The method used in main
tanning herd must largely be de-
termined by the individual, recogniz-
ing the contributing factors.
A dairy herd may be maintained
by continued purchase of mature ami
mails to replace those whose period
Of usefulness has passed. There are
many conditions under which this may
be wise practice. If it is desirable
to have the whole herd composed Of
cows in their full productive capac-
ity; if there is abundant opportunity
for selection and purchase near at
hand; If there is a reasonably good
market for COWS that are undesirable,
and If one has reasonable skill in
selecting, and good ability in bar
gaining, herd of high-productive
capacity may be more easily and more
cheaply maintained in this way than
by attempting to raise young animals
to replace those that are wornout.

Soy Beans Favored for
Fattening Market Hogs

The effects Of flushing" ewes
(meaning extra feed at breeding time)
upon lamb yields have been studied
for several years by sheep specialists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. The method, which is of
English origin, appears to have a
wide practical significance, since ex-
periments conducted thus far by the
department have resulted in much
larger lamb yields
A report of the departments bu-
reau Of animal industry for the last
fiscal year contains the results of
flashing in two experimental flocks,
one at the government farm near
Beltsville, Md, and the other at
Middlebury, vt. The years results
at the former farm showed an in
crease Of % more lambs or 100 ewes
as the result of the practice, while at
the Middlebury farm the increase was
II per cent. The percentages repre-
sent the increase above the normal
lamb crop from similar ewes which
did not receive the extra feed at
breeding time. The results agree sub
stantially with those obtained in for
pler experiments.

PLANT SOY BEANS
WITH CORN CROP

The combination of corn and soy
beans for silage produced an average
increase of approximately one ton
of green forage, or 500 pounds of
dry matter per acre, as compared
with corn alone, in four years of ex-
periments conducted by the agricul-
tural experiment station at Storrs.
Conn. The amount of additional
protein per acre supplied by the ad-
dition of soy beans was figured as
equivalent to 300 pounds of 40 par
cent cotton seed meal.
The largest total yields of grain and
dry matter under Connecticut condi-
tions were produced by growing one
stalk of corn to three of beans in ev-
cry IL inches of the row. Drilling the
corn and soy beans proved decidedly
better than planting both in the same
hill, or planting the beans between the
stalks of corn. Eighteen different va
rieties of soy beans were tried and
the best variety was a stiff-stemmed.
reasonably tall, large yielding variety,
which will have it's pods two-thirds
filed when the corn is ready to be cut.
One question which has been ar
gued a good deal is whether or not
the planting of soy beans with the
corn increases the nitrogen content
of the corn crop the same season. No
such increase was noted in these
studies.
1t was considered not desirable to
grow soy beans alone and corn alone,
mixing the two as they are put into
the silo. Growing them together as
silage combination added a value
of approximately $40 per acre to the
silage crop.

DELAYED DORMANT
SPRAY ESSENTIAL

1t Is time for fruit growers to pre-
pare for the first spray Of the season,
the delayed dormant spray. This is
one treatment that should be given
every orchard every year 1t, primari-
ly, is a control for scale insects, but
aphidS or plant lice are also controlled
when the spray is made at the right
time
"The delayed dormant spray was
formerly made any time during the
winter" says G. H. Brannon, exten-
sion entomOlogist at the North Caro-
lima state college Growers now are
advised to apply it just before the
buds swell In the spring. 1t is more
effective If used in this way. Apple
trees may be sprayed a little later to
control the plant lice, which will be at
the time when green can be seen in
the blossom buds. With peach trees,
however, the delayed dormant spray
should be given before the buds swell
to control leaf curl as well as insect
pestS.'
Mr. Brannon states that oil sprays
are coming into use now and are ef-
fective in controlling scale and pleas
ant to apply. These oil sprays can be
prepared by the grower at home, but
If he has only few trees it will be
best to use the prepared sprays. In
no case should worthless sprays or
spray materials be bought. There are
many excellent products on the mar
ket, says Mr.. Brannon, and growers
should obtain authoritative informa-
tion before buying their materials for
the season.
Where there is leaf curl in the or
chard, growers should use either the
lime-sulphur or lime-sulphur mixed
with oil for the delayed dormant spray
advises Mr.. Brannon. Oils have no
disease-controlling value. Concentrate
ed lime-sulphur will give good results
as the delayed dormant spray and is
both an insecticide and fungicide.

Profitable Practice to
Retain More Brood SOWs

According to the experts at Purdue
university the pasture acreage re-
quired for fattening hogs could be cut
down by feeding tankage. This is es-
pecially SO when hogs are on an al
falfa or clover pasture.
Soy beans may be used instead of
tankage when the hogs are on leg
ume pasture, at least when fed with a
mineral mixture 1t is a very good
practice to feed a mineral mixture
when the hogs are fed soy beans and
corn, or when they are receiving corn
alone on a legume pasture, because
pasture does not supply them enough
minerals to enable them to make
good growth. When hogs are fed
tankage, they require only half an
acre, while those not receiving any
tankage needed an acre Of pasture
The rate of gain could be increased
11h per cent by feeding minerals to-
gether with corn and clover or alfalfa
pasture.
The mineral mixture that gave the
most satisfactory results is composed
Of ten parts ground limestone, ten
parts acid phosphate and one part
common salt, by weight.
1t was also found that soy beans
could be used instead of tankage If
they cost less per pound than tankage.

Harden Pork by
Proper Feeding
Animals Fed Peanuts or
Other Oily Material Do
Not Tend to Softness.

After five years of work, the animal
lima State college feels that it Is now
in position to say that pigs fed pea
nuts or other oily feeds may be hard
ened SO that the carcasses will grade
hard.
Hardened for Market.
In the report of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station, the live stock work.
ers show that in three separate trials
during the last two years pigs weigh
ing 125 pounds and SO pounds each,
fed 255 pounds and 206 pounds of pea
nuts for 56 days, have been killed out
hard at a marketable weight.
These pigs, comprising a total of 16
in the tests, made average gains Of IS
and Y pounds each on peanuts. The
peanuts were then followed by the
proper amount of hardening feeds.
The pigs then killed hard The work.
ers state that for each pound of pea
nut oil consumed in the peanuts fed,
1t is necessary to give two and a quar-
ter pounds of hardening feed to make
the hog kill out hard.
1t was also found that when harden
ing feeds are given following the soft.
ening feeds, harder bodies were pro-
dUced than when the hardening feeds
were fed in equal amounts, and at
the same time that the peanuts were
given. This is explained partially by
the more rapid laying on of fat after
the hog reaches 130 to $50 pounds in
weight Growth has then decreased
and the more rapid depositing Of fat
begun.
Influence of Size.
The workers found also that the
size of the hog when killed influenced
the hardness of the body. A tendency
to softness occurred in those hogs
killed at 80 pounds or below, even
when fed under the most favorable
conditions and with the best feeds.
In the tests made, brewers rice,
which is rich in starch, was used as
the hardening feed.
According to the animal industry
workers, it is felt that the funda-
mentals in soft pork research have
now been solved.

Transplant Blackberries

1t will be quite practical to trans
plant the blackberry plants that have
sprung from suckers Some folks con-
tend that these plants will tend to
sucker more than others but there is
no evidence to support the theory. On
the other hand this is the customary
way Of starting plantations in sections
where blackberries are grown exten-
sively. Blackberries are not overly
hardy. 1t is therefore preferable to
set them in the spring, although If
they are mulched they may be set in
the fall with safety.

Bermuda Grass Is Fairly
Good in Some Parts

bermuda grass is fairly good pas
ture In some sections. The seed OF
this grass usually gives a very low
termination and the method of start
ing a stand by sowing the seed is very
expensive. A sure and more econOm-
ical method is to plant the Bermuda
roots. The roots are secured by plow-
ing up an old stand of Bermuda, drag
ging out the roots with harrow, and
running them through some machine
like an ensilage cutter that will chop
them up into small pieces. These
pieces are then sown broadcast on pre-
pared land or are planted in rows.
