Too Fine Grinding of
Feed Eats Up Profits

Feeding costs of live stock can be
cut and tine margin of net return wild
ened If the many farmers who grind
their fed do not grind it too fine, it is
pointed out by Ralph c. Hay, Of the
agricultural engineering department.
college of agriculture, University OF
Illinois.
AS much as eight cents may be
saved on each 100 pounds of feed by
grinding coarse rather than fine when
electrical power is costing six cents
a kilowatt hour, he said. Experiments
at several stations Show that from
three TO eight times as much power is
required for fine grinding as for coarse
grinding either of grain or roughage.
''This rapid increase in power con-
sumption takes place with increased
fineness of grinding of grain or rough
age in both hammer and burr type
mills. However, hammer mills have
some advantages in fine grinding.
"In addition to being cheaper, coarse
grinding substantially increases the
capacity of the mill and decreases
wear.
"Some feeders object to feed ground
excessively fine on the ground that
there is more waste than in feeding
coarser feeds and also that the mill
dust makes finely ground feed less pal
atable. Feeding tests have shown less
net return from cattle fed finely
ground feed than from other lots fed
coarse and medium ground feed"

Quick Hitchup Of

outfit. These big-team outfits will be
used more than ever in getting cheap
and economical power out OF Illinois,
S6S,000 horses and mules this season,
but some inexperienced drivers have
worried that it would take a lot of
time to hitch up and unhitch the
teams.
An average Of a minute was all the
total time it took to hitch up and I'M
hitch horse in big-team outfits en-
tered in two blowing contests. There
were II teams ranging in size from
five to eight horses and including
total of ITO horses. The average time
of hitching to the plows was 38 Sec
onds a horse and the average time of
unhitching was % seconds a horse.
Time was counted from the time the
driver started to drive his team into
position at the pillow until he started
blowing. At the close Of the contest,
time was counted from the time the
driver stopped the pillow until he start
ed away from the pillow with his team
ready to go to the barn.
Five-horse team were hitched up In
two to three minutes, siX-horse teams
in from three to five minutes, and
Lighthouse teams in from four to sew
en- minutes for the team. The teams
were unhitched at the rate of one to
three minutes for six-horse teams, and
two minutes, 20 seconds, to four min
utes for Lighthouse teams. The re-
markable uniformity of speed attained
by the IL men indicates that most
drivers could do as well.
Big-team users have repeatedly said
that the time Of hitching and unhitch-
ing does not worry them at all. The
larger the, number of horses in their
teams, the more work they can get
done in day.

to hear the speech he had prepared in
Seclusion, and when he delivered it, 1t
was found that he Endorsed President
Roosevelt's plan for non-aggression

Macdonald plan, Endorsed by Roose-

insisted any new defense system must
be identical for Germany and the

also to subject semimilitary organiza-

News Review of Current

Roosevelt Calls on All Nations Ban War and Disarm
Hitler Approves, Provided Germany's Equality
Demand Is Granted.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD

President had made bold and timely
move to save the world from warfare,
and that it had chance to succeed;
but there was some fear that he was
trying to extend the Monroe Doctrine
over all continents, and some doubt
as to what his future course would
be If his proposals were rejected.
Generally. the President was highly
commended for his energetic and en-
lightened action.
Unless Japan yields to the peace
~ pleas of President Roosevelt and
others-which is unlikely-the Chi
nese may burn both Peiping and Tient-
sin to prevent their use as bases by
the invaders. Late dispatches from
Shanghai said the defenders. already
driven back to point only a few
miles north of the old capital. had
planned to destroy both cities If they
could not hold them. All the Chinese
banks in Peiping had transferred their
specie reserves to Shanghai, and Brit
ish mining operations north of Tient-
sin had been stopped. Thousands of
families had been evacuated from
Peiping in the belief that Japanese
air attack would soon be made.
The navy Office in Tokyo announced
that the 1888 grand maneuvers of the
navy would be held in "seas south of
JAPAN" beginning early in June. Ad-
miral Mineo Osumi, naval minister.
explained that there is nothing sig
nificant" in the fact that the maneuv-
ers are being held in waters south of
Japan. "Such big event cannot be
staged on the sea of Japan owing to
the lack of space" he said.
ID USSIA'S new alignment with
N China was endangered by the
Soviet proposal to sell the Chinese
Eastern railway Of Manchuria to Ja-
pan. The Chinese were enraged by
this plan and called off the negotia-
tions for a trade treaty with Moscow.
Chinese papers claim that China is
likely to retaliate against Russia with
a boycott on Soviet Oil. which has
made serious inroads on the Chinese
market in the last two years.

Judge Louderback is standing trial
on five articles of impeachment
charging him with Irregularities in

he displayed favoritism in appointing

exorbitant fees.

another that he forced an expert re-

called on Henry Morgenthau, Jr., in

For refinancing the outstanding

the direction of the new farm credit
administration are authorized to issue

may be sold or exchanged for mort

panies and others. Loans on or ex-
changes of bonds for these securities
may not exceed so per cent of the
appraised normal value" of land
mortgaged plus 20 per cent of the in
sured improvements, however. and Mr..
Morgenthau recently said that 'in or
der to effect an exchange of first mort
cages for bonds it is anticipated that
in many cases the amount of such
mortgages will have to be curtailed
to come within the sum which can be
loaned"
It was the consensus of the execu-
tives that most Of their mortgages
had been conservatively written and
that in justice to their policyholders
they should not make additional sacri-
fees Of assets to losses sustained DUR
ing the last four years. The opinion
prevailed that the companies should
continue to carry their farm mortgage
holdings pending a return of increased
land values to come with the general
prosperity which they felt was not
far off. Meanwhile the companies
would continue avoiding foreclosures
wherever possible and decide indi-
vidual cases on their own merits.
