Agricultural Notes

Market Feeds Through Dairy Cow
The dairy cow can always be
depended upon to provide a good
market for farm grown grains and
other forage, according to the
Blue Valley Creamery Institute.
This fact is brought out clearly in
a comparison of the prices farmers
received for butter and the cost
of feed required to produce a
pound of butter during the last
sixteen years. At not time in the
past five years has there been less
than 10-cent spread between the
farm price of butter and the cost
OF feed required TO produce a
pound of butter. An especially
profitable market was provided by
the cow in 1926 when prices paid
farmers for butter varied from 80
to 45.5 cents a pound while feed
costs remained around % to 20
cents throughout the year. This

Wood Rot


Wood rot is caused by low forms
of plants, of which the punks or
brackets sometimes seen on trees,
logs, or timbers are the fruits.
They produce millions of spores or
seed so small they may be carried
far by winds. When spore drops
into crack in wood and finds con-
ditions favorable it develops. Tiny,
hair-like growths spread from the
rot plant in all directions. They
feed on substances in the wood,
thus breaking down its structure.
There's a long list of animal
germ diseases for which there are
so-called remedies which can be
put in the water or fed or other
wise administered internally.
There are patent medicines for
foot-and-mouth disease, tubercu-
losis, distemper, influenza, pneu-
monia, anthrax, and a number of
other important diseases. But
when they are tested out it's al
ways found that they don't and
can't do any good.

Restrain the Kicker

Never strike COW for kicking,
as it will only make matters
worse. Some cows have to be re-
strained while being MIXED. This
is best accomplished by placing a
heavy strap or rope around the
rear legs just above the hooks.
Pass this strap around one leg,
cross between the legs, and then
around the other drawing them
close together.

Some very good looking April
pussy willow calendars were made

We now have but one policeman
for the whole school. He occupies
the seat of honor. If anyone
should come to visit he could east
ly detect the policeman because of
his large police star. Lawrence
Determan was policeman last week
and Cecilia Gritzmacher holds that
position this week. If any one
goes above certain number
which has been set, his calendar
pays the forfeit.

our school which has proven more

is question box. Int this box

ject.

farrow strong, husky pigs. For
the best results feed something
rich in protein and minerals, in
addition to the corn and pasture.
Animal tankage make a good adj
dition to the corn. Ten parts
tankage to 90 parts corn is fine
combination to feed when the pigs
are on pasture.
Sows should not be put in pens
earlier than 8 days before far
rowing time. Then, when farrow-
ing is completed, they should have
dry, warm bedding. During the
Today period just after farrow-
ing, the sows should be made to
take exercise in bright sunlight,
when it's possible. After ten days
in the pen put the sows and their
pigs on pasture.
Horses on heavy work sweat a

wide spread left butterfat prolu.
GERS a gross profit OF from II t,
49, cents over cost of feed on
each pound of butter Their COWS
produced.
Big crops of corn and oats in
1925, the two principal farm grains
used in dairy COW feeding, made
these feeds cheaper in 1926 than
they have been at any time since
1922. The number of hogs on
farms in the past year also shares
in the responsibility for lower corn
prices because less corn was re-
quired for converting into pork
On the other hand, favorable in
dustrial conditions in the cities
and a slightly lower production of
butter in 1926 a strong demand
for butter and kept farm prices
for butter and butterfat at the
highest level since 1920. The but
ter cow is always a profitable feed
market but she has been specially
profitable in the year just closed.
Eighty-fve per cent of the corn
raised in the United States is US
ually fed to some kind of livestock.
A crop of soybeans is too val
liable as feed to pillow under for
green manure except under certain
conditions. The soybean may fol-
low wheat or oats and make suf-
ficient growth to add considerable
organic matter to the soil.
Milk powder and condensed
milk are replacing whole milk and
evaporated milk i'm the manufac-
ture of confectionery, ice cream,
and bakery products, according to
the United States Department of
Agriculture. The reason for the
shift is that the concentrated pro-
ducts are easier to transport and
store.
Many hogs get their water sup
ply by the herdsman's pouring a
quantity of water into a foul, dir
ty trough twice "a day. This sys-
tenn of watering is highly unsatis-
factory. Every lot or field in
which hogs are kept should be
supplied all the year with running
water, or some system installed
whereby the supply is automatic
and the hogs have clean water
whenever they want it.
Don't wean pigs before they are
10 weeks old unless there is some
special reason for earlier wean-
ing. Some breeders wean at an
earlier age to get two filters a
year. Ordinarily a better practice
is to raise three filters in two
years. A pig that is stunted by
early weaving or from any other
cause will never make so profitable
a hog as it would if this setback
had not occurred. When the pigs
are to he weaned, reduce tle rich
ness and quantity of the sow's
feed four or five days before
weaving. This will have a ten
dency to reduce the flow Of milk.
