BEET BY-PRODUCT
HELP FOR LAMBS
Has Several Attributes in Its
Bulky Nature.

Wet beet pulp and corn silage
make excellent supplements to the
lamb fattening ration because they
are bulky, succulent and palatable,
and because of their partial gram
equivalent value, says b. J. May
nard, associate animal husband
man at the Colorado Agricultural
college.
In adding variety to the ration
and in reducing the amount OF
grain necessary for finishing the
lambs, these feeds often show a
value greater than their actual
Acknowledgement estimate, 1t Is
emphasized.
"Dried molasses beet pulp in re-
cent years has come into farther
wide use as whole or partial SUD-
stitute for grain where lambs have
gone off feed" Maynard adds.
"As this beet by-product concen-
trate has several natural attributes
in it's bulky nature, its palatablllty
and fattening value, it is often
wise to include it as part OF tine
grain mixture fed in the dry ra-
ton for lambs when wet pulp or
other succulent feed is not avail
able.
IAN average of four tests CON-
Quoted at the Agricultural college
Indicates that the substitution OF
dried molasses beet pulp for one
half the corn fed will slightly de
crease hay consumption, decrease
cost of gains at present prices and
slightly increase gains.
ut is well recognized fact that
lambs once off feed on account OF
too heavy grain ration can rare
ly be brought back to q full feed
of barley or corn. Since no two
punches of lambs can be expected
to take the same amount of grain
on q full feed it Is often q delicate
matter to raise lambs to a full feed
OF straight grain and hold them
there.
.When lambs go off feed the
cost of fattening them of course
increases because time Is lost and
digestive disturbances naturally
cut down the efficiency with which
they handle their ration. Then, too.
there may be some death loss ex-
perienced in connection with the
disturbance.
with these facts in mind the
importance of keeping lambs on
feed is evident and any feed that
can be used in the fattening ra-
ton to safeguard them against go
ing off feed should have additional
merit in connection with its actual
fattening value"

Emergency Pasture for
Swine Is Much Favored

An emergency pasture mixture
which will give good results for
pasturing pigs is made of mix
ture Of rape, oats and clover, ac.
cording to w. e. Carroll. Univer-
sity of Illinois. The oats are the
first to start and if they are not
pastured too heavily will supply
feed for some time. The rape is
next to reach the grazing stage
and will protect the young clover
until it is ready to pasture.
Sudan grass last summer pro-
yided a good emergency pasture
crop, he reports. 1t is rank grow
ing but seems palatable for pigs
if it is not allowed to get too great
start.
With the possibility that clover
will be winter killed in many sec.
tions of the state 1t is likely that
some kind of emergency pasture
crop may be needed in 1881, he
states.

Many Join Farm Group

Albany county leads the New
York state county farm bureaus
with 1928 members for 1888, 16 few
er members than in 1892, and re-
ports an appropriation from the
county supervisors equal to the 1882
amount.
According to E. A. Flansburgh,
state county agent leader, IA of the
country farm bureaus reported 500
or more members up to the close of
1882, and SO county boards of SUI
pervisors had made appropriations
for 1888, to provide for the educa-
tional work in these counties in CO.
operation with the state college of
agriculture.
The leading counties in member
ship are: Albany 1928, Duchess
S76, Wayne 80, Otsego 767, Mon
roe 66S, Delaware 655, Montgomery
$40, and Niagara $50. The total
membership Of SO bureaus reporting
is 1922, he says.

Cost Sheet Shows Egg
Profits In Year 1892


Every poultry flock owner keep
ing cost records for the poultry ex-
tension office at North Carolina
State college during the year 1882
made a profit above feed cost OF
$1.27 a bird, according to figures
submitted by the owners and recent
~ tabulated by c. J. Maupin, poul-
try specialist.
There were PA flock owners who
kept these records through the year
and made a careful report month
by month of the results being Sc
cured. The average for each month
shows 4O.35S birds from which rec
ords were secured. This was an
average of 1873 birds for each farm
for each month. In October, the
number of birds per farm reached
233 and the lowest was In August
when records were received from
137 birds per farm. This indicates
that some careful culling was done
and that the average farm flock had
been reduced more than 40 per cent
In the first eleven months of the
year.
The gross income from the eggs
received from the flocks reported
upon amounted to S102. 2S1.20 or
$477.94 a farm. The gross value of
eggs for each bird was S2.53. The
average price received for eggs was
1919 cents a dozen and the average
feed cost for each dozen eggs was
about 10 cents.

Put Cattle on Pasture
and Full Grain Ration

Cattle that have been wintered
on hay and silage, or other rations
not containing much grain, and
that can be put ON pasture and q
full grain ration at approximately
the same time. should make the
transition from hay to grass rath-
er easily and with no break In
gains. Baby beeves. cattle approx
imately year old at grass time,
have the greatest difficulty in max
ing satisfactory gains during the
first month or two on pasture.
The older the cattle, the better
they can make the change and util-
lie grass in making fat beef.
.Short yearlings," when bought the
fall before, make more profitable
use of pasture while on feed thar

Grasshopper Area
Sees Less Trouble
Only One State Reports
Increase in Number of
Eggs in Ground.

The prospects for damage from
grasshoppers over the infested area
as q whole are much less alarming
than they were a year ago, accord
ing to the results Of the 1892 sur
vey of grasshopper conditions re-
ported by the bureau Of entomology
of the United States Department of
agriculture. Only North Dakota
shows an increase in the number OF
eggs in the ground over the number
deposited in the fall Of 1881. If the
weather this spring and early sum-
mer happens to be favorable for
grassh6pper growth, however, more
than five and one-half million acres
in eight western states may need
applications Of poison bran to save
cereal and forage crops from whole
sale destruction by the hoppers.
Detailed surveys in cooperation
with state entomologists of the
areas where the 1882 grasshoppers
laid their eggs show that big hatch
may be expected in six counties In
Colorado, 10 in Idaho, 30 in Mime
sofa, % in Montana, AZ in Nebraska,
so in North Dakota, 4S in South Da-
kota, and four in Wyoming. The
number of acres in these states that
may need poisoning ranges from
10000, with an estimated cost of
S3, $50 for material, in Colorado, to
1854, 736, with an estimated cost of
1886, $50 for material, in North Da-
kOta.
Grasshoppers gained firm foot
hold in the hay and grain fields OF
the West in 1880 and 1881, when
the hot, dry weather provided con-
ditions ideal for the hoppers and
unfavorable for the disease and
parasites that serve as a natural
control Of this pest. The fnfesta-
ton expected in 1882 from the mil
lions Of eggs laid in 1881 failed to
reach serious proportions over
much of the area threatened be-
cause the weather early in the sea-
son was cold and damp. Where
the weather favored grasshopper
growth many farmers-assisted by
states or counties-took advantage
of. the warnings broadcast by en-
tomologists and spread the rec
commended poison bait over their
fields in time to destroy the young
hoppers.

New Wool Test Is Good
Guide for Sheep Breeders

By the application of a simple
method, coupled with the assistance
of dry-cleaning establishments,
sheep breeders may determine, from
small sample. the clean-wool yield
and density of the. fleeces Of their
sheep.
This is the judgment Of Dr.. John
l. Hardy of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, fiber tech
nologist Of the bureau of animal
industry, who has been seeking to
develop a rapid and inexpensive test
for the density Of fleece and for
clean wool yield.
The procedure consists in shear
ing, with clippers, swath of wool
1 inch wide and 4 inches long from
the side of the sheep, weighing the
sample, dry-cleaning it by the or
binary dry-cleaning process, and
weighing it again. From the differ
ence between the two weights, the
percentage Of yield of clean, dry
wool can be computed for the sam
pie. This percentage, when applied
to the weight Of the fleece, shows
approximately how much clean wool
the fleece will yield. This informa-
ton is of practical value in select
ing breeding animals. The wool
sample is taken from measured
area of skin and furnishes the basis
for calculating the weight Of clean,
dry wool per square inch of skin
surface as an expression of the
density of the fleece.

Twenty-four questions and an
swers cover most of the stumbling
blocks which Illinois farmers will
have to clear in the successful
brooding and feeding of chicks this
spring. H.. -
Samples of the questions and an.
swers placed in the hands of all
county farm advisers are:
@. What are the essential re.
quirements for successful rearing OF
chicks?
A. Healthy, vigorous chicks in a
clean ventilated house on a clean
range, not overcrowded, good feed
plenty of feeder space and the lib
eral use of good common sense.
O. How much floor space should
chick have? .& -
A. There should be at least one
square foot of floor space for every
three chicks.
@. What should the room tenn.
perature of the brooder house he?
A. Generally the room tempera'
ture of the brooder house will vary
somewhat with the age Of the
chicks. For the brooder stove
method of broodihg there should be
little reason for the room tempera
ture to be higher than 20 to so de
grees. Too many brooder houses
are kept too hot. Hover tempera
ture recommendation do not mean
room temperatures.
@. When should chicks receive
their first feeding?
A. AS soon as they are put liz
the brooder house. Long delayed
feeding is likely to be followed by
bad results.
@. What are the most common
mistakes made by the flock owner
In rearing chicks?
A. Not providing enough hopper
space, keeping the brooder house
too hot and losing interest after the
chicks are six weeks old.

Combating Poultry Diseases

The best way to combat poultry
diseases, asserts an authority. is to
prevent their occurrence. Cleanli-
ness is one Of the best preventives.
Place new litter in the poultry
house as often as practical. Screen
the droppings and remove them as
often as possible. Water fountains
should be cleaned daily and disin.
fected at least once a week. Keep
the most material clean. With these
precautions many of the common
diseases will be easily prevented.

Clinker Bricks, Once
Discarded, Now Popular

Ten years ago the clinker brick, so
called because it frequently came out

Of real furnace clinker, was total

ally chucked into the rubbish heap.
Today clinker bricks are used in the
construction of the most attractive

centage in any kiln is small, and the
clinker brick has become quite
popular.

Medicine Is Ended,
Assert Leaders.

Abandonment of approximately
$4,000 worth of public health serv-
ice is viewed by the Indiana State
Medical Association as practically
a enforcement of the state of Indi-
ana with private physicians, it is
revealed today.
The new administration setup for
the state health department is
called by DR.. john H. Hare, new di-
rector, the biggest step taken in
Indiana away from state medicine
Among the former services dis
continued under the new regime are
maternal and child welfare clinics,
state support to venereal clinics.

widespread use of rabies treatments
for patients throughout the state.

either at department headquarters
in the Statehouse annex or at the

Praise for the new state health

Paul V. McNutt, who made the
plan possible. is contained both in
the editorial columns of the journal
and the page edited by DR.. Joseph
H. Weinstein, Terre Haute, presi-
dent Of the state association.
Other editorials call attention to
the now famous Wilbur report" on
medical costs, which violently is
opposed because it recommended eX-
tension of socialized medicine
through group practice
The Wilbur report has nothing to
do with what has been done in curb
ing public health service in Indiana,
DR.. Hale said.
Put State in Competition
There is no need to disguise the
fact that there has been, in times
recently passed, considerable cause
for criticism of the broadening &C
tivities of this branch of the gov
ernment," the new health head sets
out in the article.
Attention has been directed par
ticularly toward the work of the
division of infant and child hygiene,
the hygienic laboratory, and the
subsidization of the venereal clinics
in different cities of the state.
Not only have these branches
/ cost a considerable sum of money.
but they also have entered into
forms of medical practice which
have essentially put the state in
competition with practitioners of

Practically all psychologists be.

great value, but agree that hard
work, self confidence, stick-to-it-

3. Yes. We all know people
who are by nature sound physi-
cally and mentally, high-minded,
generous, leaders in all social
undertakings, dependable in
every crisis. We know many
others who are mixtures, weak
mentally but strong physically,
strong mentally and weak phys

All we desire is that the for
