Grind With Electricity
Is Cheapest Operation

Experiments at Iowa State college
lead to the conclusions that the farm
err who needs only 100 or 200 bushels
ground annually should have it done
at custom mill if within reasonable
hauling distance. Where more than
400 bushels are needed per year, the
farmer can well afford to own his own
equipment and do the grinding work
on his farm Home grinding costs
about one-half that of custom grind
ing when more than roo bushels are
ground per year. A small electric
grinder will operate from % to 80 per
cent cheaper than large equipment es-
pecially when arranged for automatic
or semi-automatic operation. 1t is
cheaper to operate, smaller trans
former can be used with much de-
creased core loss, and it gives an i'm
proved load factor and better diver
sifed load.

One Common Mistake in
Feeding Dairy Calves

The most common mistake in feed
ing dairy calves from the bucket IS
feeding them too much. The amount
that a calf should really have, divided
over three feeds, seems so ridiculously
small that most of us feel stingy about
1t and are tempted to add little
more. To avoid being generous at the
calves expense it is we'll to actually
weigh the milk for each calf and
stick to the rule. Many rules have
been given, all emphasizing the dan
ger of overlooking, but as good a rule
as any is one pound of milk to each
ten pounds live weight. A fifty pound
calf, therefore, would get only five
pounds of milk daily, or two quarts.
If fed twice daily this would be just
quart of milk at feed. In some
stables this rule is observed so closely
that the calf is weighed every month
to check up on the amount of milk
that should be fed. AT no time should
a calf get more than 16 pounds Of
milk daily.

Modern Practice Is to
Fill the Silo Evenly

Many silo owners are coming to the
conclusion that it doesn't pay to tramp
the silage when the silo is being filled.
1t is almost impossible to compress
the silage evenly, and the labor is
largely wasted. The modern practice
is to fill the silo full with no tramp
ing-then let it settle for few days,
after which it can be refilled. Even
with the most vigorous tramping, set
Ting will occur, and it is observed that
not much. if any greater settling will
occur even if no trampng is done.
The main thing is to distribute the 81
lage evenly over the entire area, which
can be done easily with proper han
ding of the distributor pipe.

Sodium Arsenate
Quite Efficient
Poison Has Proved to Be
Satisfactory for Grass
hopper Bait.

Paris green and white arsenic have
long been used as the standard poi
soning agents in grasshopper bats.
As consequence most farmers have
become familiar with these materials
They know that desirable results can
usually be obtained. That being the
case, most farmers are not prone to
make change to other materials.
They always ask the question, "Why
change to sodium arsenic when | can
get results with paris green or white
arSenic?'
Paris Green Costly.
Paris green, besides being hard to
mix, is entirely too expensive for eco
nomieal poisoning, therefore should be
eliminated. White arsenic is cheap
enough, but due to the care required
to get the poison evenly distributed
in the bait, It is often difficult for
the field worker to obtain a perfect
mixture. When the mixture is imper,
feet. erratlc results are sure to be had.
The possibilities of arsenical poison.
ing are also greater when one works
with white arsenic extensively.
Its Advantages.
Sodium arsenate is free from the
above criticisms, and has proved to
be most satisfactory and efficient
poison. 1t has the following advan-
tages:
|. 1t is cheap, reducing the cost of
poisoning to minimum.
2. It is easy to mix. The chances
Of an imperfect mixture are reduced.
3. 1t is soluble. Therefore every
flake of bran moistened is poisoned,
doing away with possible erratie re-
suits.
4. This material is poison and must
not be taken internally, but due to its
liquid state, there is less possibility
of being poisoned with it than with
white arsenic where large quantities
of dust can be breathed.
3. 1t is easy to measure and handle.
6. 1t is efficient. Experiments show
it to be entirely effective when prop
erly applied. George S. Tangford. of

Best Insurance for
Many Legume Crops
incubation Is Favored for
Growth and Soil Building.

1t Is only a few years ago since a
few farmers began rather shamefaeed-
~ To coat their alfalfa seed before
planting with a thin mud made from
earth taken from an old alfalfa field.
This was the beginning of the farm
practice of inoculating the seed of le-
gumnous crops. In % years. we have
progressed greatly in this practice and
our understanding of it. The most
successful farmers we know today
would not plant alfalfa. soy beans,
sweet clover, peas. beans, vetehes, or
any of the clovers without making cer-
tain of incubation. Science discov-
cred and practice has proved that
these crops so inoculated with bene-
fetal bacteria us to produce numerous
root nodules, take extra nitrogen from
the air, thereby adding to the soil an
excess supply of our most expensive
plant food. incubation simply means
supplying the seed with a start of
these bacteria, to render the plant in
dependent of soil nitrogen for Its
growth. With incubation. legumes
are soil builders and, other conditions
being favorable. grow thrftily. With
out incubation. they deplete the soil
of nitrogen the same as any other
crop and unless other conditions are
unusually favorable grow unthriftily
or not at all.
There are different good methods Of
incubation. Commercial incubation is
reliable and easy to use. The soil
transfer method is effective but more
trouble. If you buy incubator, speci-
fy the kind of crop you want to use il
for. and you will get the right sort.
BY whatever method, do not try to
inoculate soy beans with earth from
an alfalfa field or incubator meant for
veteh. 1t requires a different kind of
a bug for different groups of legumes.

Cow Deserves Careful
Attention to Her Feet

When a cows toe nails, if we may
call them such, become too long it
makes the animal walk and stand
awkwardly, and oftentimes makes a
fairly good animal look worse than
she really is. A sharp chisel is
handy in removing the excess growth
and the hoof can then be shaped with
a rasp. 1t is very surprising how
much COW will let you do to her feet
lie you are quiet and careful in the
way you go about it. You will be more
than pleased with the result of your
labor when you see how much better
she handles herself after good job of
manicuring.

Satisfactory Ration for
Work Horses Is Outlined

Even though work horses are fed
plenty of grain they will not keep in
good shape if their ration is not prop
erly balanced. Oats and prairie hay
make a satisfactory ration, but corn
and prairie hay are not good. When
corn is the only grain fed, at least
half the hay should be alfalfa or clo-
ver If neither alfalfa nor clover hay
is used, the ration of corn and prairie
hay may be balanced by feeding a
small amount of cottonseed or linseed
meal. The amount of meal needed to
balance the corn and prairie hay ra-
ton will vary from one and a half
to two pounds daily, depending on the
weight of the horse.

Che
DAIRY
GOOD DAIRY FARM
WILL. HAVE SILO
Modern Affair Permits Pro-
duction of More Milk.

Because the silo is an investment
and not an expense, the good dairy
farmer usually has one or more ac-
cording to the size of his herd.
"Silos are growing in popularity"
says A. T. Holman, agricultural en-
gineer at the North Carolina State
college. Hundreds of modern silos
were constructed in 1928 and a
greater number will be built this
year. We observe that farmers show
a marked tendency to have better
silo than formerly. built from good
materials and of the proper size. 1t
permits the production of more milk
at less expense, and as it lowers cost
of production. it automatically in
creases profits and the labor income.
The silo is the cows fruit jar where
green feed is stored and cured until
most needed"
Silage must not be considered a sub
stitute for grain, but is a supplement
to it. Cows require both grain and 81
lage or grain and pasture for the
profitable production of milk. When
winter comes and there is no pasture,
the silo proves its value, but the 81
lage is better than pasturage in that
it contains the corn grains in addi-
tion to the succulent leaves and stalks.
Silage also appeals to the cows taste.
A number of crops may be canned
in the silo though corn IS still the
most popular. The size of the silo
depends on the size of the herd, the
rate of feeding and the length of the
feeding period. The average feeding
rate for the dairy COW is about so
pounds per day, so when feeding ten
to fifteen cows, the diameter should
be 10 feet; 10 to % COWS, u feet;
25 to 80 cows, II feet, and for 80 to
40 cows the diameter should be Is
feet. The height will be calculated by
dividing the number of days in the
feeding period by six when feeding
off two inches of silage per day. If
three inches are fed off, as should be
the case in hot weather, the days of
the feeding period should be divided
by four and this will give the height
needed when the proper diameter has
been determined. It is better to have
two silos than one extra large one,
says Mr.. Holman.

the farm, especially If it be a high
