Provide Good Mash Feed
to Increase Egg Laying

The average hen would lay 20 eggs
more per year if she was supplied
with a good dry mash all year round,
according to the poultrymen. Most Of
the eggs would be laid during the pc
riod of the year eggs are highest in
price and the income from them
would more than repay the cost of
the extra feed consumed.
Many farm flOcks are permitted to
scayenger for their feed at this time
of year. Their ability along this line
is not nearly as great as is often
thought. If all hens were provided
with a good mash throughout the year
they would molt later in the year
and the new feathers would develop
rapidly. The rest period would there
fore be reduced considerably Dry
mash given in the summer months is
a good insurance of higher egg pro-
duction during the early winter
months.

Prepare Teachers for
Their Important Work

Courses in rural education are pro-
vided in more than twO-thirdS of the
state normal schools and teachers col
leges in the United States, and in
number of colleges and universities.
To assist in meeting the need for
trained teachers in rural schools, nor
NAL training courses are given in
selected high schools in some states.
These courses, however, are apparent
ly temporary expedients, and accord
ing to Rural School Circular No. Is
of the Interior department, bureau of
education, there has been a decrease
since 1922 in the number of schools
offering this work. In of the 26
states where normal courses were for
merly available they have been dis
continued, and in only q high schools
or fewer in each of 6 states may such
courses be obtained. Standards gradu-
ally are being raised in schools that
continue the work, and in five states
Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio,
and VermOnt-the course is main
tanned on a high school postgraduate
basis.

Plan for Growing Apple
SEEDLINGS During Fall

In the growing of apple seedlings
the usual practice is to secure apple
pomace in the autumn and sift out the
coarser material and then wash the
balance until the seeds can be sepa
rated. The pOmace will rise and the
seeds sink in the water. They may
then be mixed with dry sand and
SOwn in a cold frame or in the field.
Some nurserymen store the seed in
sand or sawdust until spring but they
should never be allowed to become
dry and hard or the termination is
very slow and uneven.
Excellent seedlings may be secured
by removing the seed from apples at
the present time. Sow in rows in a fiat
and place the flat in a greenhouse or
in favorable place in the house
where the temperature is fairly uni
form. The seeds will germinate al
most at once and when the ground is
ready to work, plant these little seed
lings in fertile place where they can
be worked by hand through the sea
son. Good plants can be secured in
this way.

Building
Certain Magic Found
in Ownership Of Home

There is a magic in the ownership
of property. especially when that prop
erty consists of a home. A man will
lay down his life without question or
thought when the integrity of his
home is at stake. On the other hand,
if the same amount of money were
placed in stocks or bonds, or even
factory, it is extremely prOblematical
whether he would even risk his life
If they were threatened with destruc-
ton. The magic lies in the fact that
a home stands for more than mere in
trinsic value; it represents more than
mere dollars.
It carries around it all the back
ground of the family life and the
search of that family for better living.
1t may have the scars of the struggle
written all over its walls, but it is
near and dear in spite of it. Little do
we dream the real magic we are con-
juring up for those dependent upon
us when we grid up our belts. reach
for the pen and ink and sign the
us and our savings to a program of
hOme-Ownership. 1t is the most i'm
pOrtant thing a man and woman can
do, because no one has yet been able
to think of a single thing that will
take its place

Plan for Handling and
Feeding Farm Stallion

The ration of the stallion should
consist of first-class wholesome feeds,
supplying ample protein and mineral
matter for thrift and vigor. The
choice of feeding stuffs will depend
on the particular locality, the same
principles applying as in the case of
the work horse. A combination such
as the following is satisfactory:
Oats, four parts; corn, six parts !;
bran, three parts by weight; timothy
or prairie hay. Corn, alfalfa hay 1-3
and prairie hay 2-3. Corn, seven parts;
bran, three parts; linseed meal, one
part timothy or prairie hay.
No specific total direction can be
given as to the total amount Of feed
required, since this depends on the ex.
ercise the animal gets and whether he
is "hard' or "easy" keeper. A safe
rule is to keep the stallion in good
flesh, but not "hog fat" for this will
injure his breeding powers. Most
horsemen advise that in the breeding
season he be kept gaining just a bit
rather than allowed to run down in
flesh
Travelling a stallion is one of the
best practices, if the expense is not
prohibitive. OF course, this will de.
pend upon the number of mares avail
able To be profitable, there must at
least be so to 70 mares available for
the season.

Dairying Is Profitable
if Good Cows Are Kept

Dairying is profitable when good
cows are maintained. The kind that
are capable of producing no more than
the average COW in Iowa-14O pounds
of fat a year-is not the kind to buy.
The man who owns a herd Of that
sort really owns nothing better than
a manure factory. If he feels that it
is worth while to milk a bunch Of
cows and get nothing better out of 1t
than the manure they produce, he is
justified in buying that kind, but if he
really wants to get paid for the feed
he puts into them and get wages for
the time spent in caring for them, he
must start with better grade of
cows In the long run it would be
much better for those farmers who
have started in the dairy business or
who are contemplating doing so in
the near future to pick up the best
cows they can in their own neigh
borhood, then buy good pure bred
bull and start grading up a herd.

Keep Up Property Value

The average rate per year which
must be charged off for depreciation
of house property has been found to
be 1A per cent for frame and IA
per cent for brick. 1t was brought out
by many of the authorities consulted,
however, that this difference is almost
entirely eliminated if proper care is
taken of the home. stitch in time
saves many, and minor repairs here
and there will often prevent extensive
deterioration of the structure which
would occur if such repairs were neg
lected. The painting of parts exposed
to the weather and the prompt renew
al of decaying sections are important
factors in the longevity of the house,
In other words keep it's face clean and
its heart in good condition.

STOCK. @
RAISING CALVES
FOR FEEDING LOT

One thing was strongly emphasized
recently, first at the Nebraska and
then at the Iowa experiment station
that calves are by far more econom-
ical producers of beef than yearlings
or older. cattle. twO-year-old steer
will consume about so per cent more
feed for the production of 100 pounds
Of beef than calf, and a yearling
requires about 33 per cent more feed
than calf to produce the same in
crease in weight.
This is not news; every man who
has fed both classes of cattle knows
from experience that calves get more
beef out of a given amount of feed
than do older cattle, and that the
same is true of other classes of live
stock. 1t is, however, worth while for
the farmer who happens to have
considerable amount of rough land in
his farm that must of necessity be
maintained in pasture thoroughly to
realize this fact
Because of their scarcity we are
entering upon a period of high-priced
cattle feeder who relies upon the mar
ket for his feeding stock will have to
be exceedingly careful or he may pay
so much for his feeders as to make it
difficult to derive a profit from fatten-
ing them for the market says the
Iowa Homestead. The man who raises
his own calves will run much less risk
in the next five or six years in beet
production than he who must depend
entirely upon the market.
Raising calves for the feed lot and
fattening them for the market at
weights ranging from $50 to 1000
pounds is not a scheme that can be
recommended for everyone, but it is
a good plan for the man part of whose
farm is too rough for cultivated crops
A CaSS county. farmer who owns a 240-
acre farm, 40 per cent of which is
suited only for pasture, has raised
his own calves for the feed lot for
number of years and has found it
profitable and very safe business.
His profits are growing as time passes,
! for the reason that his pasture is in.
creasing in carrying capacity and his
cultivated land is growing in fertility
and producing larger crops from year
to year This is an inevitable result
Of good livestock farming of which
so many lose sight.
The land of the grain farmer be.
comes less productive year after year,
while that of the livestock farmer
becomes more productive as time
passes. These two well-known facts
need to be driven home, for we have
altogether too many farmers who dis.
regard them or perhaps do not give
them the proper consideration.

Corn Yields Are Best
From Mat11red Seed

Corn harvested for seed in an i'm
mature condition is lower yielding
than seed harvested after it has ma
tured, according to results of expert
ments conducted by crop specialists
in the experiment station of the col
lege Of agriculture, University of Illi-
nois.
Seed picked in the milk stage is
especially undesirable for seed, the
tests showed. When planted early,
seed harvested at husking time pro-
duced 1913 bushels an acre, that picked
when mature produced 491 bushels,
that harvested in the dent stage 46.5
bushels, and that harvested in the
milk stage 45.9 bushels. When plant
ed the middle of May, seed from ma
ture corn showed less superiority than
it did when planted early. However,
when planted the last of Nav, seed
from mature corn again demonstrated
its higher yielding power. incubation
of the seed at planting time with one
of the organisms causing the scutel-
lum rot disease caused a slight but
insignificant reduction in yield when
the immature seed was planted late.
Immature seed corn did not show this
susceptibility to scutellum rot how
ever, when it was planted at an early
and intermediate date.

All Raspberries Require
Some Kind of Protection

The black raspberries require pro-
lection. This is provided by covering
the canes in the fall with earth The
red raspberries need similar protec-
ton but if you are sure of having suf-
ficient snowfall to cover the plants all
winter, less protection would be re
quired. However, it is safer to pro
tect them.
The Latham red raspberry is one of
the hardest varieties. The Mime
sofa State Horticultural society recon-
mends the following black raspber-
ries: Cumberland, Plum Farmer, and
Gregg. Red varieties: King, Cuth-
bert, Sunbeam, Ohta, and Latham. In
buying plants be sure to get them
from companies having disease-fFee
stock. This means that the mosaic
disease has been injuring many of the
red varieties. The state nursery in
spection office is trying to eliminate
the disease by carefully inspecting
the growing plants twice each year.

Illinois Trying to Get
Improved Types of Oats

Seventeen crosses between different
varieties and strains of oats are being
studied by plant breeders in the ex-
pertinent station of the college of agri-
culture, University Of Illinois, in an
effort to get improved types of oats.
These crosses involve several different
characters, such as black and white
grain color, presence and absence of
awns, and presence and absence Of
ligules. An attempt is being made to
combine high yield and good quality
with other desirable characters.

Much of Corn Saved by
Hogs Following Steers

When steers are full fed on shelled
corn or ear corn, the hogs following
usually get the benefit of about 10 per
cent of the corn which is fed to the
steers. In other words, if steers are
fed 20 pounds of corn per head daily,
and there is one hog following each
steer, the average hog will get about
2 pounds of corn in the droppings.
With young cattle, hogs don't get
quite as high percentage as with
older cattle, and of course if the
weather is bad and the lots are very
muddy, they don't, recover as high a
percentage. Ordinarily when there is
one hog following each steer, it Is
wise to feed little corn in addition
and also one-ffth of pound of tank
age per head daily.

Use of Winter Months

Very often some civic body or other
organization, with a great deal of COM
munity spirit, will be the start of a
home beautiful campaign, or a COM
mittee of individuals from a given
street or section will start the ball
rolling.
In beginning such a campaign, it is
a wise plan to start the work during
the winter, that people might have a
chance to think and talk over the
plans of the coming campaign, and
the committee has plenty Of time to
get their well-arranged plans in prop
er shape The plan will then have
time to reap the benefits of the news

TURKEYS REQUIRE
PLENTY OF RANGE

Once upon time every farm family
had it's flock Of turkeys, which sup
piled plenty of birds for the home
table and some for the tables of those
who lived in the towns. Turkey rails
ing in recent years, however, has de-
creased, one of the main reasons for
this decline being that as the popula-
ton of the country increased farming
became more intensive and the area
suitable for turkey raising was re-
duced. Turkeys require plenty Of
range in order to thrive.
Many farmers, however, still con-
slider turkeys a profitable side line on
the farm, and about the first Of Octo-
Der begin to consider how to put more
flesh on their turkey flock.
During the summer and early fall
turkeys can find an abundance of feed
on the average farm. Grasshoppers
and other insects, weed and grass
seeds, green vegetation, berries and
grain picked up in the fields all go to
make up the turkeys daily ration.
When this natural feed is plentiful,
very little need be added until fatten-
ing time, except for the purpose Of
bringing the turkeys every night to
roost and to keep them from straying
from home. For this purpose one feed
of grain every night just before roost-
ing time is sufficient.
In fattening turkeys for the market
an excellent plan is to begin about
October l to feed night and morning
feeding only so much at time that
the birds go away little hungry, and
gradually increasing the quantity until
they are given all they will clean up
three times a day during the week
before marketing. BY the latter feed
ing is meant that they are fed until
they leave the feed and walk away.
Some turkey raisers feed wheat and
tening season, gradually changing to
corn as the weather becomes cooler.
The majority, however, begin feeding
heavily on corn about November / !;
and since turkeys are not accustomed
to such heavy feeding, scours often re-
suit, especially if new corn is used.
New corn can be fed safely if the tur-
keys are gradually accustomed to it
by feeding lightly at first and more
heavily afterWard.
Confning turkeys during the fatten-
ing season to prevent their using so
much energy in ranging has been tried
to some extent, but with very little
success.

Legume Hay Will Supply
Minerals Needed bv Cow

The kind of a mineral mixture dairy
COWS need will depend on the feed
they are getting. In addition to salt,
which should always be literally fed
the minerals needed in the ration are
lime, phosphorus and in localities
where there is trouble with goiter in
young calves either sodium or potas-
SUM iodide should be supplied.
The best way for the COW TO get the
needed lime is in legume hay such
as alfalfa, clover or soy-bean hay.
Phosphorus is best fed in the form of
wheat bran, cottonseed meal, wheat
middlings and linseed meal When 20
per cent or more of the grain mixture
consists Of wheat bran, wheat mid
dlings, linSeed or cOttonseed meal. the
cows will get plenty of phosphorus.
If less than this amount is fed some
steamed bone meal should be added.

APPLE STORAGE IS
QUITE IMPORTANT

For 1S years the pomology section
OF the Iowa agricultural experiment
station at AmeS has been investigat-
ing the control and prevention of apple
storage diseases, and the fourth re-
port In the form of Bulletin No. 222,
winch may be secured by anyone in
terested who will address his inquiry
TO the Bulletin Section, Iowa Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, Ames
Iowa.
Ih1S report, containing Ga pages,
covers internal breakdown, apple
scald, Jonathan-spot and soft-scald.
1t describes each Of the diseases and
reports what measures were found
most effective in the control of each.
The Investigations reported were
carried on mainly with Jonathan and
Grimes apples. 1t was found that
apples of either variety should not be
held after January 1, because Jona-
than-spot is likely to affect Jonathan
after that date and because of the
danger of internal breakdown attack
ing Grimes.
JOnathan-spot was best controlled
on Jonathan when they were picked
before becoming too mature and
stored Immediately at about 80 de-
grees Fahrenheit and a relative hu-
midity of so to 90 per cent was main
talned. Although early picking re-
duced JOnathan-SpOt, it also increased
soft-scald on Jonathan apples and the
authors of the bulletin, II. II. Plagge
and t. J. Nancy, feel that more expe-
rlmental work is necessary to deter
mine the best picking date for Jona-
than.
Jonathan-spot affects deeply red
colOred apples most and occurs on
Rome Beauty, King David and Esopus
as we'll as on Jonathan. 1t occurs as
greenish tinge to blackish colored
spots which range from one-sixteenth
to one-fourth inch in diameter.
Apple scald on Grimes was best
controlled by delaying the picking
date and by wrapping the apples in
oiled wraps, but here again internal
breakdown was most extensive if
picking was delayed too long. The
best control methods for internal
breakdown were to pick Grimes be-
fore they had become too mature and
then to store them Immediately.
Apple scald is said to be most like
ly to affect the Arkansas, Grimes,
Rome Beauty, Sheriff, Yellow New
town, York Imperial and Winesap va
rieties, and that the Willow Twig,
Northern Spy, Jonathan, Missouri Pip
pin, and Rails varieties are practically
immune.
