year. just passed, Army posts. camps
and stations produced@220.2 tons of
grain, valued at s6,445.2S; 13,S64.3
tons Of hay. valued at $229, 226.60 and
2,422.3 tons of straw, worth S15.729.14,
thus making a total saving from these
sources of 1851 ,401.05.
Reports of the hay crop for the
present season are not yet complete,
but indications are that "a bumper
crop was raised.
The remount stations at Fort Robin

places and to make it practicable to
ship surplus to nearby posts.

Buick for 1923 has individualized the drivers seat
by making the steering column adjustable to suit
the owners preference.
And in addition, Buick for 1928 has new steering
wheel-slender to fit feminine fngers-yet deep

Buick for 1928 pleases women because it is easier
to drive-because it is more comfortable to ride in
because it is the style-leader among motor cars.

larly for hay, grain, and pasture,
and with corn as silage. during
the past few years oil mills in the
Cotton Belt and in some OF the
Southern States have crushed fair

beans, and found ready markets
for the oil and oil meal. Soy
beans are also used to limited ex-

foods, crackers, waters, soy sauce,
bean curd, soy flour, and special

Dairymen commonly feed skim
milk to their calves until about SIX
months of age. The time Of wean-
ING usually depends upon the con-
ditions of the calf and the avail
ability and cost of milk. When
milk is fed in abundance it furnish
es the greater part of the protein
necessary for the growth OF the
calf. If the feeding OF milk Is
discontinued the necessary protein
must be supplied by some other
feed. Probably this can be done
most economically by some le-
gume, such as alfalfa, clover, soy
bean. or cowpea hay. When hay
of this sort is not available 1t Is
necessary that the grain mixture
fed should be high in protein.
During summer, when good past

she is growing normally. A little

feeding is used so long as the same
order is practiced each day. but
with heavy milking cows that must

all the minerals needed for milk
production. To prevent silage fla
vors from getting into the milk, the
silage should be fed just after than

may be fed either before or after

Agricultural Notes
Grains and Skimmilk
Best Poultry Ration

In it's experimental work to dis
cover the simplest and cheapest
methods of feeding chicks, the
poultry division of the University
of Minnesota has made it clear
that the feeding of grain and liq-
uid skimmilk and buttermilk pro-
vides the best. bin of fare, espec-
tally in the northwest, where large
crops of corn, wheat and oats are
usually raised and where millions
of pounds of skimmilk and butter
milk are available. Speaking of
these experiment, A. C.. Smith,
chief of the poultry division, says:
"In 1924 a grain mixture OF
finely cracked corn, two parts,
finely cracked wheat, two parts,
and pin-head oatmeal, one part, by
weight was given when the chicks
were 4S hours old. Thereafter they
were fed five times daily at first
and later three times in a light lit
ter. Milk was the only drink and
all the greens were supplied in ex-
cess.
''Trials with buttermilk, skim
milk, both sweet and sour, and
whole milk were made and repeat
ed in 1926. Whole milk gave some
what the poorest results as to NOR
tally and showed much higher
costs. The difference in costs and
mortality between the buttermilk,
sour skimmilk and sweet skim
milk was scarcely perceptible: The
losses during a six week trial IN
1926 were 2.5 per cent of the
groups supplied with sour skim
milk; 5 per cent in the group sup
piled with sweet whole milk, and
no loss at all in groups supplied
with sweet skimmilk and with but
termilk. The cost per pound gain
at six weeks of age in 1926 was
between a and 5 cents except when
sweet whole milk was supplied.
Interest in low-cost production
is particularly keen at present be-
cause of the unusually low prices
being paid for poultry products,
of which so far the consumer does
not seem to fully benefit"

best of hay may bring but little

"An alternative which may
bring better returns this year is
purchasing cattle and feeding the
hay on the farms. Whether or
not cattle can be successfully car
ried on hay will depend on the 9th
er feeds available with which to
balance the ration. Where salts
factory feeds can be obtained and
prices for feeder stock are satsifac-
tory, there is possibility of mar

by feeding it than by direct ship

turns are small from cattle feeding

and practically all surplus heat
that he generates in moving about
in hot weather must be discharged
through the water or vapor expel-
led at the mouth and nose. This
is why so many hogs become pros
trated when the mercury in the
thermometer jumps up around 80
or above.
It is important, therefore, to
provide hogs with plenty of
clean, fresh water and shade in
the summer. Young pigs need
more than old hogs. They need
it for making rapid growth as well
as for putting on fat. Unless they
get plenty of water, they do not
make the best use Of the dry feed
they eat. A plentiful water supply
is required especially when past
ures are poor, as they often are in
August.
When skimmilk is fed literally
there is little danger that pigs will
not get enough water. Both fresh
water and skimmilk are best given
in a trough or an automatic water
err.
On most farms pigs get all the
shade they need from trees and
sheds. Many farmers use cheap
artificial sunshades made of a sim
pile sun-proof roof supported by
four or more posts, with no sides.
Shades and water are about the
cheapest things on the farm. 1t
pays to give pigs free access to
them on sweltering days.

Hay Fed to Livestock

Because hay is good crop nearly
everywhere this season, large sup
plies will be offered on the market.
Buyers are bound to discriminate
closely and those who have sur
plus hay to sell should consider
well the market to which it is to
be consigned and the possibility of
obtaining a price sufficient to COW
er the cost of balng and trans
porting.
In this connection Andrew Boss,
vice director of the Minnesota EX-
pertinent Station, says: -,
''There is little margin on poor
quality hay at any time. In a
season of surplus production many
shipments of hay are likely to
bring hardly enough to cover the
cost of baling, shipping and hand
ling. In such a season even the
