The distinction of having more test

sire in the world now belongs to Meri-
dale farms of Meredith, N. Y. Dairy

that have official production records
which entitle them to entry in the
Register of Merit of the American

breeders association has awarded him
both gold and silver medal In rec

horses have been wintered rather
poorly, and If they are to stand up
under a hard springs work they must
be prepared for it.
Horses which have been wintered
on roughage should be started on
small daily grain ration, and gradu-
ally brought up to full working ra-
ton. If possible, they should be
started on light work or worked a
half day at a time until they get
hardened in.

Idea of Concentrated Form

Potato growers are finding In the

Cooperation on
Better Markets
Big Gains Made in Number
of Farmers Elevators
and the Like.

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l
The 'ballyhoO" days of agricultural
cooperation have passed. No longer
Is the "sign EN- up" campaign the
chief aim of farmer business organi-
zation. Agricultural cooperation to-
day, says Chris L. Christensen of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, rs emphasizing better market
Ing services and increased business
efficiency.
Three distinct phases Of agricultural
cooperation since 1905 are cited by
Mr.. Christensen, who is in charge OF
the division Of cooperative marketing
In the bureau of agricultural ecOnom-
les. In the fifteen years from 1903
to 1920, he says, large gains were
made in the number of farmers ele-
vators, livestock slipping associa-
tons, fiuid-milk organizations and the
like. These were typically local In
nature and relatively small in annual
overturn. They were designed to per-
form the first stages Of the market
Ing process.
Striking feature.
From 1918 to 1925 the formation of
!arge-scale marketing organizations
was striking feature Of cooperative
development. Some Of these attempt
ed the performance of more advanced
stages Of the marketing process, even
going into terminal market operations.
Others attempted regional pools, large

ences. A feature Of this growth was
the prevalence of "ironclad" and long
term contracts providing heavy pen
alties for selling outside the pool.
Some Of these organizations have
failed, others have modified their
practices.
Members Selected.
Members of the present-day organ
lzations," Mr.. Christensen says, "are
being selected rather than merely
signed up wholesale. Membership
contracts are being modified to meet
the financial and other economic con-
ditions Of the grower Notions Of ar
bitrary price fixing by cooperative
organizations have been abandoned in
favor of efficient business practices"

Oats Are Extensively
Used in Chick Feeding

Rolled oats or oatmeal are extern.
sively used in chick feeding, and they
are excellent for this purpose. When
used as complete ration they are apt
to cause gas. They should be used
mixed with other feeds. SteeI-cut oats
are preferred by some poultrymen as
they are smaller and somewhat easier
for chicks to pick up. During recent
years milk in it's various forms has
become an established part of prac-
tically all chick mashes. Nutrients in
milk are easily digested by chicks !;
they furnish protein and minerals
needed to balance the ration and the
milk sugar forms Tactic acid that is
helpful in keeping down the growth
of harmful bacteria.

Agricultural Notes

Supply pure fresh water and salt In
both summer and winter.
The most natural comparison of
sweet clover is with red clover.
Red clover is a general purpose
legume, especially valuable for hay.
Carrots are easily raised If the soil
is good, and by sowing early and
growing quickly will usually do well.
Regardless of the kind of fuel that
is used, the broOder stove should be
tested at least 4S hours before the
chicks are placed In the brooder
house.
A mixture of oats and rape for
early spring hog pasture is excellent.
If not pastured too closely, this mix
ture will furnish pasture until mid
summer.
Dat straw should not be used alone
as feed for ewes. The straw has
very little feeding value in itself, but
can be used as rOughage along with
leguminous hay. corn fodder or siIage.
The soy bean is a legume and has
the advantage over some of the other
legumes, such as alfalfa, sweet clover
and to some extent red clover, in that
it will grow on land too acid for these
crops. ~
Lambs will do a good job of pick
ing corn; in fact, pick it cleaner than
Is usually done by the picker. Then,
too, they will eat the husks, and

Feed and Water Supply
Needed by Ducklings

Ducklings sometimes die from too
much exposure to hot sun and 1t is
necessary to provide shady range
for them during the heat of the day.
DuckIings sometimes have fits caused
by digestive disorders. Plenty of
green feed in the ration helps to pre-
vent such troubles.
The ducklings do not need running
water or any water in which to swim,
in dishes deep enough so they can
immerse their heads and wash out
their eyes. The method of feeding
you are using will probably produce
good results.

General Chick Feeding
Demands Careful Study

Before any baby chicks are ordered
from a commercial hatcheryman or be-
fore any eggs are put in the home in
cubator, the prospective flock owner
should learn something about chick
feeding in general, and gain some sort
of an idea of what it takes to feed
a baby chick and how 1t should be
done. Poultrymen who have been in
the game for number of years also
can do well to check up on their
knowledge and on the new develop
ment. Chickens of all ages consume
relatively small amounts of feed and
the results that can be secured from
properly balanced rations are SD
marked that the subject deserves a
most careful study.

Cleaning Seed Grain by
Use of Tanning Mill

Wise farmers are making provision
for cleaning seed grain. With small
grains especially, it pays to plant the
plump. sound, solid grains because
they are most likely to have strong
termination and to have germ that
will give the plant good start should
the weather conditions be difficult.
A tanning mill should be part of the
equipment of every progressive
farmer. They are not expensive, but
the work they do is tremendously val
liable. Practically any farmer can
make one pay many times over with

FERTILIZERS SAVING LABOR
AND FREIGHT TO ALL FARMERS

Irish cObblers produced by concen-
trated fertilizers were as high as $50
bushels to the acre.
There are features connected with
the use of concentrated fertilizers,
however, that will have to be careful
ly considered and which will require
more study before the free use of
such fertilizers can be definitely rec
commended, under all soil conditions,
says Mr.. Brown. This is particularly
true of light soils.
