Increase Cottonseed in
the Ration for Steers

When the price of hominy is 10 per
cent higher than the price of cotton
seed meal, the amount Of cottonseed
meal should be increased so that 1t is
20 per cent instead Of 10 per cent Of
the concentrated feeds in the ration
for steers.
This is statement Of Prof. R. B.
Human of the New York State Col
lege of Agriculture at Ithaca, N. T.,
who says that the general rule that
cOttonseed meal should not exceed 10
per cent of the grain ration should be
shifted when hominy is high.
The increase in the cottonseed meal
is economical and is safe If succu-
lent feeds like corn silage or pea vine
silage are fed.
Cottonseed meal fed to lambs may
be increased to one-sixth of the grain
ration if the lambs get silage and do
not get legume roughage. These sug-
gestions apply only to the present rela-
tive prices of cottonseed meal and
hominy, and they cannot be used safe
ly when the feeding period OF steers
exceeds $50 days or that Of lambs ex-
ceeds 80 days.

Green Manure Crop Will
Draw on Soil Moisture

Any green manure crop, whether
rye, sweet clover or weeds, draws
heavily on soil moisture 1t is quite
necessary, then, to watch the weather
during the spring when such crop is
growing. If the season is below nor
NAL in rainfall, the rye may use up so
much water that the corn crop will
have hard time getting enough and
may fire during a short period Of
drought. A ton Of dry matter in the
green manure crop may represent an
amount of water equal to the entire
rainfall of June.
Pasturing reduces the amount Of
water used by such crop. Green ma
nure may also be disced down or
plowed under earlier than was origi-
nally planned. All green manure crops
must be first thoroughly disced into
the soil if danger of insufficient mois-
ture is to be avoided. Discing also
helps work the crop into the soil so
that rapid decay will follow and the
growing corn will receive the most
benefit. Sweet clover decays more
rapidly than rye and may cause some
what less loss of moisture after 1t has
been turned under.

Water Warmed for Fall
Pigs Helps Make Gains

Through the cold months pigs will
pay big returns for the trouble and
expense of warming their water. A
feeding trial at the Ames experiment
station showed that the pigs given
warm water, through automatic
troughs, not only matured earlier, but
made gains on considerably less feed.
Both lots were fed the same ration.
The pigs that were fed in the old
fashioned throughs, where no attempt
was made to warm the water, took III
days to reach a weight of 225 pounds,
and required 423 pounds Of feed for
each 100 pounds of gain. They showed
a margin over feed cost of $5.9S each.
On the other hand, the pigs that
were given the warmed water from
the automatic troughs, reached an
average weight of 225 pounds in 1O6
days, and required only $40 pounds
of feed for each 100 pounds of gain.
They showed profit over feed cost of
$7.13 each.
If one takes into consideration the
saving in grain and the fact that these
pigs reach maturity earlier than the
others, the increased profit per pig
was $1.70 in favor of warming the
water.

Charcoal Lessons Many
Troubles Among Poultry

Experience has taught US that if
charcoal is kept before the poultry at
all times the sorts of many digestive
troubles will be lessened, If not en-
tirely avoided. A small hopper such
as is used for the oyster shell should
be used for the charcoal, so that the
fowls may pick at it at will. The
charcoal tends to sweeten the diges-
tive tract, thus doing away with
gases and preventing foods from
spelling in the crop. Charcoal is in
expensive.
1t does not pay to empty the wood
ashes in the poultry yard. as only a
very small part of this is charcoal,
and the ash makes valuable fertilizer.
However, if the ashes are emptied in
the dust bath they are a great help
In Kidding the fowls of lice, and at the
same time they will pick up what
charcoal is contained therein.
Small chicks should have the char
coal granulated for them as they are
unable to pick up the larger pieces.

Oats Produced for
Grain Improbable.

Oats are one Of the least profitable.

G. W. Musgrave, agronomist at the
College of Agriculture, New Bruins.
wick.
Several years of observation and
study have convinced Professor Mus
grave that most farmers can we'll
substitute soy beans, wheat, rye, or
barley for the oats generally used
in the common rotations. Particularly
valuable are soy beans. At the pres
ent time it costs $34 to produce an
acre of them whereas it costs S39'
to produce an acre of oats. Even more
striking Is the difference in value
between these two crops at the time
of maturity; soy beans are worth $55
an acre, and oats are worth only $23.
Soy beans yield one to three or
four tons per acre, and under favor
able conditions should average two
tons. In feeding value they compare
favorably with alfalfa hay. Hence, on
farms where considerable hay is fed,
they may readily replace much other
hay or release 1t for sale.
The soy bean is a legume and, con-
sequently, soil improver BY plant
ing this crop the amount of nitrogen
fertilizer required will be much less,
for, like all legumes, it adds rather
than removes nitrogen from the soil.
If soy beans have never been grown on
the field before, it is necessary to-
inoculate the seed. This is most easily
done by the "soil and seed method''
described in Extension Bulletin 80, is
sued free of charge by the College Of
Agriculture at New Brunswick.
When soy beans precede wheat in,
the rotation, prompt action at harvest
time is necessary In order to pre-
pare a seed bed properly for the,
wheat.

Plan to Control
Cucumber Mosaic
Remove Weeds and Other
Plants on Which Disease
Lives in Winter.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Cucumber mosaic, q disease preva-
tent in practically all cucumber-grow-
ing sections in the central and eastern
states, can be largely controlled by
following certain methods outlined by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture calculated to remove weeds
and other plants on which the disease
lives through the winter Recent
studies by the department have DEM
onstrated that the disease overwin-
tiers in the seed or the roots of the
wild cucumber, milkweed, wild ground
cherry, pokeweed, and catnip. Methods
Of Graduating these hosts, tested and
recommended by the department, are
discussed in Department Bulletin
l461-D, just issued.
Isolate Cucumber Fields.
1t IS recommended that the cucum-
Der fields be located at a distance
from the farm buildings and the vege-
table garden. Such isolation is i'm
portant because it has been found
that the wild cucumber, milkweed,
and ground cherry are commonly
found about the farm buildings and
that mosaic plants of these species
are more likely to occur near garden
plots as q result of earlier infection
from cultivated cucurbits.
If possible the field should be sur
cd NV
since their cultivation will reduce the
number of wild hosts about the field.
1t has also been found that fields so
situated are less likely to be infested
with insects that carry and spread the
disease.
Remove Obnoxious Plants.
AN plants known to carry mosaic
over winter should be removed from
the field itself and from all land with
In radius Of so to rs yards. In the
case Of the wild cucumber, milkweed,
wild ground cherry, and catnip, the
plants should be dug out if they are
not too abundant, but it has been
found that If the shoots are pulled up
as fast as they appear the plants
eventually will die out. Where poke
weed occurs it is best to cut down as
far as possible into the large roots
and cover the cut surface with salt.
If the field receives the clean cultiva-
ton that cucumbers require, many of
the wild hosts will be removed in the
process. The first eradication should
be made just before planting, and the
field and vicinity should be inspected
regularly thereafter at intervals of
to 10 days.
Since the disease is carried from the
wild hosts to the cucumbers by in
sects, the field should be sprayed or
busted regularly in order to. keep
down plant lice and cucumber beetles.

tanned as long as the supply lasts, by

ment of Agriculture, Washington,
