Concentrates and Carbohy-
drates for Horses.

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Asriculture)
Oats are one OF the pest cohceh
trates for feeding horses. Inc pro-
tein and carbohydrate contents OF
this grain are better .proportioned Tor
this purpose than in the case of corn,
SAYS the United States Department OF
Agriculture. The hull In which the
oat kernel is incased, though OF small
nutritive value, greatly improves the
physical character Of the reed py
adding bulk. Oats should be roiled
or ground for very young horses, Dut
may be fed to the mature animals
either whole or ground. In order 10
prevent ravenous feeders from chok-
ing it is advisable to place a niue
chopped clover hay, wheat bran or
q few whole corncobs in the feed box
with the oats. While oats may form
the entire grain ration for horses the
substitution of two or three pounds
of wheat bran will improve the daily
ration, provided it does not produce
a too laxative effect.
Corn is more generally grown than
oats in many horse producing sections
and for this reason and because 1t is
usually more economical to feed 1t is
often given preference over oats. Be
cause of the high carbohydrate con-
tent more energy per pound Is de-
rived from corn than from any other
grain suitable for horse feed. Since
corn is somewhat low in protein 1t
is well to supplement it with legu-
minous hay. The combination of corn
and alfalfa hay as a ration for horses
is growing in favor. Equal parts by
weight of these feeds very nearly
make a balanced ration. In the abb
sence of legumes little linseed meal
or some other protein concentrate
may be fed with the corn. Corn Is
not only fattening and heat-producing
but also very palatable. Horses I'm.

Grow Sweet Clover for
Pasture and Help Soil

Growing sweet clover for pasture
and soil improvement purposes is very
risky business where alfalfa seed Is
produced. Properly managed, now
ever, one ought to be able to keep
them apart. Intentional production Oh
sweet clover seed Is the practce
which is so damaging.
Some alfalfa growers plant sweet
clover on land to prepare it for alfaifa.
This is a good, practical methoo
where the alfalfa will be used for
hay and hog pasture. Alfalfa feids
started this way, however, should not
be allowed to produce seed for sew
eral seasons, not until the clover
plants are all killed out. IT good scar
flied sweet clover seed is planted, TWO
years of hay making, following tne
year of planting, should be enough TO
get most of the clover plants. Inls
is mainly true in those regions whlch
receive sufficient rainfall to start all
the clover seed to terminating.

FARM kCTN'

After the pigs are weaned it takes
only SOW sense to keep them growing.
Usually the farmer does not save
money-he accumulates live stock and
other forms of farm property.
Don't count your pigs before they're
weaned unless you provided narrowing
quarters free from round-worm In
festation.
Farming with just the hands and
the feet goes hand In hand with de-
linquent taxes.
The men who get the lower costs of
production are usually the better men.
That's why they get the lower costs.

Scientists Join Battle
on European Corn BOrer

Andrew Boss, vice director of the
Minnesota experiment station, attend
ed one session of tile meeting Of the
corn belt committee on European corn
borer control held in Chicago recently.
Entomologists, agricultural engineers
and agronomists Joined In studying
and discussing the corn borer situa-
ton. The entomologists predicted
that the pest would reach Indiana this
year and that ultimate invasion OF the
heart of the corn belt is certain. OHIO
experiment station men are co-operat-
ing with the European corn borer
committee, manufacturers, land own
ers and farmers In carrying on expert
ments for destroying with mechan-
zeal devices corn stalks and other ref
use which shelter the borer. Several
parasites Of the corn borer have been
imported from Europe and, according
to United States department entomoio-
gists. four varieties are becoming es-
tablished In this country.

The Vicar tf leading Hull (Eng-

parently ashamed of their ordinary

VALUES OF OATS AND CORN IN
FEED OF AVERAGE FARM HORSE

accustomed to corn must not De
changed to it suddenly because OF
danger from collie or other digestive
disturbances.
Corn is generally fed on the cob
or shelled, but sometimes Is used In
the form of corn-and-cob meal. This
feed, which is particularly suitable
for horses which lack the necessary
time or teeth to chew unground corn
thoroughly, is Of about the same feed
ing value pound for pound as shelled
corn. Certain precautions must be
taken In feeding it, however, as when
stored for a time 1t has a tendency
to generate heat with the consequent
formation of mold. For this reason
it is best to grind the grain only as
needed.

HeIiun, SoIidifed

The solidification of helium gas has
been one of the ambitions of Prof.
Kamerlinch Ommes, who maintains
large laboratory at The Hague. Many
unsuccessful attempts were made to
convert helium into a solid. Recent
ly Professor Keessom of Leyden uni
versity, who was working in Ommes'
laboratory, succeeded In such an ex-
pertinent. BY using very strong
pumps Keessom subjected the helium
to pressure of $50 atmospheres and
temperature of Az degrees abso-
lutte, when the gas solidified.

To Obtain Top Price Feed
ers Must Have Animals
Free of Disease.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The raising and marketing of hogs
is now more profitable enterprise
than it has been for number Of
years. On June % the price of hogs
In the Chicago market ranged from
$13.55 to $500 a hundred pounds.
Swine growers and feeders are inter-
ested in getting the top price. 1t Is
important, then, that the animals
reach the buyer in good condition,
well-finished, and, especially, free Of
disease.
Depreciation in Value.
The United States Department of
Agriculture calls attention to the de-
probation In market value of animals
affected with skin disorders. 1t fire.
Quently happens that hogs with mango
are allowed to reach the market. This
condition often affects growth and
fattening and makes the animals less
desirable. The carcasses of such hogs
have an unsightly appearance, the
cuts of pork are reduced in value, and
in some cases it is necessary to re-
move the entire skin In order to make
the meat salable. Hogs affected with
mango in the advanced stage are con-
demned as unfit for food under the
federal meat inspection regulations. 1t
is only reasonable for the packer to
pay less than market quotation for
NANCY hogs, or refuse to buy them
at any price.
Hog mango is caused by insect-like
parasites called mites. The sores in
the early stage are found on the head
around the eyes, nose, and ears, and
from these parts they spread, accord
ing to the activities of the mites, until
the entire skin is involved.
Prevent Mango.
Mango may be prevented by keeping
the hogs in clean pens or pastures,
away from filthy wallow holes and by
the use of oilers or rubbing posts
Crude oil (petroleum) Is effective in
keeping the animals free Of parasites
including mango mites. While there
are various types of hog oilers on the
market, a simple homemade one may
be arranged by driving a post firmly
in the ground and wrapping it secure
/ ly with gunny sack Oil is poured over
the post from time to time to keep the
! cloth saturated. If clean cement
wallow is provided, the oil may b.
poured on the water and in this wa!

the OIL spread over the sand. The hogs
will get the benefit of the oil In the
sand bath. The sand should be
changed from time to time, otherwise
some of 1t may become hard.
If the herd has become affected with
mango, dipping will be found effective
in destroying the mites. Full informa-
ton concerning mango, It's prevention
and treatment, is given in Farmers
