Ground Soy Beans Make
Good Source of Protein

Ground soy beans are very salts
factory source of protein on many
dairy farms. Usually only favorable
comment is heard from men feeding
beans during the cold weather. In
summer, however, a lack Of palatabil-
ity in the ration containing the ground
beans is often reported. In most cases
however the beans are not refused by
the herd when first ground but rather
after the feed has been ground two
weeks or more. 1t appears that the
finer the beans are ground the more
trouble experienced.
Soy beans are rich in oil. When the
bean is ground more of the oil is ex-
posed TO the air than before grinding.
AS the weather grows warmer there is
a greater tendency for the fats TO be-
come rancid than ar lower tempera-
lures. The same condition occurs in
butter. Low temperatures do not IA
vor the development of rancid f1avors
which increase rapidly at higher tenn
peratures.
The laxative nature Of the beans
renders them less desirable as a pro-
tein supplement when the herd is
turned TO pasture. If they are to be
fed from now on not more than one
weeks supply should be ground ar
one time. Fine grinding is not essen
tial

Cobb was called the Duke of Padu-

the rank of colonel on the staff Of the
governor of Kentucky.
Cobb's commission was received
shortly before he embarked on war

He assembled various and almost IN

Care in Feeding Silage
REQUIRED for Results

Silage is an extra good feed If ii
is not abused. Two kinds Of abuse are
to feed too much and to LET the surplus
accumulate in the hangers. 1t should
not be forgotten hat silage is large
ly water II the cows are encouraged
TO cram themselves with silage at the
expense Of grain and hay they will
not be getting enough nutrients to
sustain their bodies and a profitable
low Of milk. Preferably the grain
should be fed on top Of the silage so
that 1t will be eater first and then
not more silage than will be eaten
readily. If there Is a surplus it should
be cleaned out OF the managers daily.

DAIRY
STARVING DAIRY
COW IN SPRING
Better Way to Avoid Milk
Surplus Is Suggested.

Cutting down the feed allowance to
reduce the output of milk in the spring
is not only bad for the cows but also
bad for the pocketbook, figures pre-
sented by the New Jersey College of
Agriculture indicate. A better way for
avoiding the spring surplus and mar
ket glut is suggested. OF twelve dairy
men In a middle western cow-testing
association, seven fed less than $50
worth of grain per COW and FIVE fed
SCI worth. The seven got an average
yearly return Of SIT per cow over feed
cost. The five men who spent twice
as much for feed got a return of S176
per cow over and above feed cost. In
other words, the liberal feeders col
lected sos more income per cow than
the stingy feeders.
1t is well known now. that If cows
are constantly underfed during their
producing period they permanently lose
their ability to produce large quanti-
ties Of milk. Thus, the dairyman who
follows this practice as a check on
spring production, also checks produc-
ton for the following lactation period.
The best way TO avoid the spring
market with its low prices. suggests
the college of agriculture, is to have
the cows freshening throughout the
year rather than all in the spring. A
general adoption of this practice
among dairymen would go a long way
toward solving the spring surplus
problem.

Prevent Brooder Vices
by Proper Manapement

Toe picking, feather eating, and 9TH

proper management. In England the
poultry raisers paint inside of their
brooder houses blue color. The re-
Election from blue makes red invisible
and poultrymen maintain this elimi-
mates toe picking since chicks cannot
notice the red color of bleeding toes.
Overcrowding is almost sure TO result
in brooder vice when chicks are con-
fined on inclement days. Some poul-
Tymen make it practice TO keep the
brooder entirely dark except for the
feeding periods. Chicks thus get more
exercise out in the open and vices are
eliminated.

TULANE REVAMPS

To Add Deception TO Power
Which Has Sustained in
Regular Season.
/ TEw ORLEANS, December 70 up.

n YEW ORLEANS, December u Op).
NJ -Tulane's Green Wave will
y enter the Rose Bowl New Year
day armed with new foot ball
tricks for its battle to uphold the clean
record of victory of Southern teams
that have preceded it to Pasadena.
In meeting such power team as
Southern California, the coaches realize
the Wave cannot rely too much on
power to bring home victory. Most of
Tulanes wins this season have come as
result Of the power of the line from
tackle to tackle that held back the
enemy until the backheld could get
underway or an end could get down
field for passes.
Needs New Stuff.
The power will be maintained, but It
will be favored with new plays of
deception. Most of Tulane's stock Of
plays were exhausted during the season
before the eyes Of Southern California
scouts and new stuff will be drilled
before the Rose Bowl game.
IL IilhkG way lOT ILLS pIOgId dTl, SOaCll
Bernie Bierman ordered his squad TO
break training for a week after the
Washington State game. The rest, he
believes, Will remove the strain of an
l1-game season.
Bierman looks upon the Rose Bowl
contest as just another foot ball game.
He took the invitation calmly and be-
lieves that If his full varsity squad
reaches the bowl without new injuries,
Tulane has an even chance to win.
Puts Premium on Brains.
He is relying upon the quick wits of
his players as much as their Drawn,
which will be more than equaled by
the big men of the California squad.
The smartest, fastest players win
foot ball games these days" he said.
He plans TO build the defense around
the report Of his two scouts, Assistant
Coaches Ted Cox and Lester Lauten-
Schlaeger.
Cox, who is to be the new head coach
when Bierman goes to Minnesota next
year, and Lautenschlaeger went West to
observe the Georgia-Southern Califor-
MIA game.
Bierman expects TO have his squad on
California soil a full week before the
game, so they will be recovered from
train fatigue and the new surround
ipgs.
The team will leave New Orleans
about December 10.
