MORE PUBLIC LANDS OPEN

WASHINGTON, D. Ca chance ed
itorial in local newspaper regret
ting that all free public lands open
for demonstrating had been distribut-
ed, has brought an interesting reply
from E. C. Phinney who is acting
Secretary of the Interior. Taking the
State of Wyoming as an example he
sets forth that there are now almost
twenty millions acres of unappropri-
ated land, and while it is true por-
ton of this is not suitable for agri-
cultural life for himself can find
area in plenty which the government
will be glad to turn over to him.
demonstrating has not died out by
any means, he says, and he cites the
fact that during the last fiscal year
1892 original homestead entries were
made in Wyoming alone and 2214
homestead entries were perfected.
Inasmuch as during tn last six
years the free land throughout the
country has yielded forty millions of
dollars to the Treasury in the form
of royalties on oil and coal leases it
would appear that Uncle Sam was
still holding horn Of plenty for
those who had courage to tilt lance
with fortune.

Castrate Young Pigs a
Month Before Weaned

1t IS common practice among MAJ j
farmers to castrate pigs after wean-
ing, and in some cases the operation
Is deferred altogether too long. The
Older the pigs the more they suffer
from the operation and the greater Is
the danger Of loss. For number OF
years several experiment stations
have castrated pigs within "a hours
after birth and with very satisfactory
results. The Ohio and Wisconsin ex-
pertinent stations have done consider
able work along that line and the
former has come to the conclusion
that the sooner pig is castrateG after
it is two or three days old the better.
only a very small opening need be
made at that time, and If the opera
ton Is performed under sanitary con-
ditions the wounds heal very quickly
and the pigs seem to suffer no setback
whatsoever
Pigs should never be vaccinated
until the wounds from castration have
FULLY and completely healed. This Is
one reason why they should be on
Grated on while small ana at least a
month before they are to be weaned.

Sheep Must Shear Good
Fleece to Bring Profit

TO be profitable, sheep must shear
4 good fleece of wool And here breed
characteristics may be taken into con-
Sideraison. IL not pure bred, a flock
usually carries prcdominating blood OF
some breed and wool characteristics
OF that breed should be kept in mind
In all cases, however, the fiber should
be OF good length so as to grade in
the combing classes, dense, and have
plenty of 'yolk' or oil Dry wool or
wool without yolk is light and brittle.
There should be good covering on
the belly, and in some breeds well
down on the legs Uniformity In
length Of the fiber as well as uniform
fneness Of fiber is essential. Some
times there is tendency toward
kemps or hairy tibers among the wool.
These are undesirable.

WINTER RATIONS
FOR BEEF GAINS

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
In feeding tests recently completed
by the United States Department of
Agriculture steers which made only
slight gains In weight during the win
ter put on greater gains on pasture
the following summer than those
which made larger winter gains 1t
was demonstrated that differences In
gains by steers during the winter due
to ratIons fed are gradually minimized
throughout the period of summer fat
tening on grass Consequently 1t Is
important that cattle to be marketed
early from pasture should gain consid-
erably more weight during the winter
than IL they are to be sold late.
The experiments were begun with
80 good to choice Hereford steer
calves of weaving age and continued
until the animals were marketed as
three-year-old steers. The calves were
divided into three lots of 80 each, each
lot as nearly uniform as possible In
quality, size and condition. The three
lots were each given the same amount
Of space In an open barn and kept
under cover all winter. The steers
were fed twice a day. and the feed,
both concentrates and roughage. was
carefully weighed at each feeding Wa
ter and salt were available In the barn
at all times. During the period of the
experiments changes were made In
the grouping of the calves, and sew
eral different rations were fed

Balanced Ration Proven
to Be Most Economical

A good many farmers are saying
that they are not going to feed CON
centrates this year because they have
SO much corn. 1t will be wasteful
mistake TO try and feed all corn With
out supplementing 1t with protein con-
eentrates. The balanced ration has
proved Itself the most economical.
Corn alone will not give good results
with cows, with steers with hogs, or
with chickens. It will. In fact, be like
" to injure them just as it used to
before balanced rations were under
stood. Ii you have a lot of corn, bet
ter sell part of it and buy coneen-
trates. 1t will be better economy.
