LIME NECESSARY
IN STOCK RATION
Tests Show Need Is One Per
Cent Per Animal.

How much lime is needed In an
animals ration? This is one Of the
most frequent questions asked
about animal feeding.
Harry Steenbock. and his asso-
ciates at the University Of Wiscon-
sin, have now demonstrated that
the greatest amount is O.5 per ceH'
Of the ration, expressed In terms
of calcium carbonate.
OF all the vitamins that have
been isolated and studied by nutr1-
ton workers, vitamin D, the factor
responsible for lime assimilation
and the deposition of lime In the
bones, has attracted the most wide
spread interest, because it Is the
vitamin most likely to he lacking In
the ration of farm animals ana Id
the diet of humans.
For years fundamental studies OF
the nature of vitamin D and the
factors responsible for Qualification
in the animal body have been under
way at the Wisconsin agricultural
experiment station.
Recent QnQlnSS Oh SteeupoCh anu
his co-workers regarding factors in
certain foods which interfere with
the normal process of lime assim-
ilation in the body add support to
theories advanced by the noted
English research chemist, Mellanby.
That these factors can be much re-
duced in power by specific treat
ment of the foods before Including
them In the animals ration has
been thoroughly demonstrated In
the Wisconsin studies carried on
this past year.
By subjecting rolled oats, wheat,
corn and rice to heat treatment,
Steenbock found that the calcifyin2
properties are improved.

Protect Fruit Trees

The only safe way to prevent rab-
bits from gnawing the bark OF the
trunks of young fruit trees Is to
wrap the base of the tree trunks
from the ground to a height Of
about IS to 20 inches, or the space
between the ground and the lowest
branches. Where the branches are
less than Is inches above the soil,
the wrappers should include both
trunk and branches to height Of
about Is or 20 inches. Various kinds
of wrapping material may be used.
Some of the most common are l.
inch mesh poultry wire, galvanized
window screen wire, galvanized
wire netting having three or four
meshes to the inch, old newspapers,
gunny sacks torn In strips 8 to 8
inches wide and cornstalks. Wood
veneer wrappers, patented wire
wrappers, tarred paper and build
ing paper may be bought and used.

BY A. r. Winter. Poultryman. Eonege OIL
Agriculture; S SGix Service. OF '
Better egg production, less feed
requirement per dozen eggs, and
less mortality will result from feed
ing the farm poultry flock cod liver
oil.
In q test, 220 Rhode Island pull
lets were divided equally In two
pens and started on test on October
1. 1929. both pens were fed the
same basal all-mash ration, housed
under similar conditions, and man.
aged the same. They were given
rape pasture yards during the fall
and cindered yards on the south
side Of the house during the winter
months. The small hen doors were
always open so that the birds could
go outside the building at any time
irrespective of weather conditions.
One pen was fed cod liver oil and
the other pen was not.
The birds receiving the cod liver
oil produced 7.142 eggs from Octo-
Der 1 to April 1. Birds in the pen
not receiving cod liver oil laid 6,O61
eggs in the same period. The feed
required per dozen eggs for birds
receiving cod liver oil from Octo-
Der to the next October was 7.37
pounds. Those not getting the oil
required 7.45 pounds Of feed per
dozen eggs. The loss in weight for
birds fed cod liver oil was 30
pounds, and for birds not getting
the oil 272.5 pounds. 81
Beneficial results are obtained by
feeding cod liver oil in the spring,
summer, and fall months as well as
during the winter.

New Soil Test Shifting
Land Out of Grain Crop

without the new test for avail
able phosphorus developed by the
college of agriculture, University OF
Illinois, many Illinois farmers could
not decrease their grain acreage
and increase their legume acreage
to cope with present low prices, 1t
is pointed out by G. M. Lindsey,
soils extension specialist.
Many farmers are not financially
able, he explained, to make the rel
atively heavy investments In lime
stone and phosphate for land that
is too acid or too low In available
phosphorus for the growing Of these
legumes. 1t is necessary that they
locate land In their fields already
containing enough lime and avail
able phosphorus. A previously de-
veloped test of the colleges took
care of the limestone problem, and
now the more recently perfected
phosphorus test gives farmers q
practical means of overcoming the
other Important barrier IN duJusl-
ing their crop acreage.
Thousands of farms throughout
central and northern Illinois have
areas of soil varying from a few
acres to entire fields which natural
ly contain enough limestone and
available phosphorus so that they
can be taken out of grain and put
into alfalfa, sweet clover or red
clover.
Farmers seldom recognize these
areas. What is more serious is that
without applying the two tests.
they often attempt to grow legumes
on land that Is too low in available
phosphorus and lime. The result
Is a waste of seed and time.

Suggested Ration for
Fattening Lamb Crop

Lambs being fattened on a suit
able grain mixture and good hay
will not DE expected to eat as much
siIage as breeding ewes. AS the
lambs get on full feed of grain the
roughage is naturally reduced.
About two pounds of grain daily is
a full feed for lambs being fat
tened. Corn is of course the uni
versal fattener among the grains
barley is used a lot in western New
York. A suggested ration to start
with would be a half pound of
grain, two pounds of clover hay.
and one pound of silage daily.
Lambs when on full feed should
clean up their grain and eat the
good or edible part of their hay
Some feeders feed little wheat
bran with the fattening concentrate
which is q good practice as wheat
bran has beneficial effect on the
system of the lamb.

Yellow Color Makes Up
for Lack of Sunshine

Keep always in mind in the selec-
ton of materials for glass curtains
that anything having yellow or
golden tone will do much to atone
for lack of sufficient sunshine in a
dreary or cold room.
This is fact so widely recognized
as to hardly need repetition, but in
similar fashion, and not so well
known, materials having rosy tone
will lend an atmosphere of warmth
and coziness to a living-room or any
room where such an effect is desired
The cheerfulness of the sunshine
tones" as all of the yellows and COLDS
and mellow tans are commonly called
makes them particularly desirable for
most living-rooms, but there are times
when the subtlety of a faint orchid
color for sash curtains in a bed
room, or delicate green in a dining
room or breakfast porch, will produce
wonderfully pleasing results

Foundation of Home
Shows Real Condition

Several suggestions that will help
everyone who is contemplating the
purchase of a house are made in q
letter contributed by correspondent.
Before you buy house," he writes.
'iyou should start with the basement
and examine the walls for water
stains and horizontal water lines
caused by water seepage, or water
standing in the basement.
"The foundation and retaining walls
should be inspected for proper thick
ness" he continues. "a minimum
width for main foundation walls below
grade for a Hght-frame structure of
one or two stories should not be less
than ten inches, If Of concrete; thir-
teen inches of brick, and eighteen
inches for stone.
Concrete walls having sandy or
clayey appearance are deficient in &C.
ment, or else are constructed Of bank
sand and gravel containing large
percentage of loan. Such walls should
be examined for sand and loan peck
cts which are detrimental to the walls
structural strength and permit the en-
trance of water.
"The wall plate or mud sill, which
lies directly upon the foundation and
upon which the floor rests, should be
infinitely examined for dry rot and de-
cay. This is generally the first mem
Der of dwellings, superstructure that

.Barnyard Manure

WNU Service.
Manure saved by q sound man
agement program at the barn Will
yield enough more crops to pay the
first installment on Ohio's farm
taxes, and leave money in the bank,
according to J. A. Slipher, specialist
In soils for the agricultural extern
sion service at the Ohio State uni
versity.
Ohio farmers, he says, are keenly
interested in building the soil at
little or no cost In cash outlay.
There is no place or no device by
which they can do this better than
by thoughtful management OF the
farms supply of manure.
Much manure can be saved In lot
feeding by using a lot of the small
est possible size. In this way 1t Is
possible to eliminate hundreds OF
tons of rain water which otherwise
would find it's way through the thin
blanket of manure and remove its
soluble load of valuable nutrients,
Most lots can be reduced to one
half or one-fourth, and oftentimes
one-fifth, their original size, with
gain for the value of manure. The
area, Slipher believes, should be
so small that the depth Of manure
accumulated for the season will be
2 to 3 feet. This can be done by
allowing each head of cattle not
more than 60 square feet Of area.
BY shifting livestock to inside
quarters 1t is possible to preserve
the manure through the addition OF
ordinary superphosphate, which is
the fertilizer commonly applied in
the field for crops. It can be ap-
piled in the stable at the rate of
three-fourths pound per day, or 5
pounds per week, for each 1000
pounds of live weight Of animal.
Manure so treated is the best bal
anced fertilizer the farmer can use.
An application Of six to ten loads
of this manure per acre means the
addition Of about 200 pounds Of SUI
perphosphate per acre for land go
ing to corn, which Is the crop that
Is most responsible for its use. =

Use Surplus Cream
for Butter Supply
Nav Be Stored in Jars or
in One-Pound Prints.

Nv John A. AREY. North Carolina
state College-WNU Service.
Farm butter, made from sweet
cream, may be packed In salt prime
and kept in the cold room for use
later when the supply may be low.
BY reason of the low price OF but
terfat. a number of housewives with
a surplus Of cream have been max
ing inquiry as to the possibilities
of making up the cream into butter
and storing 1t for use later. This
plan has been practiced by some
North Carolina families for num-
Der of years. The first considera-
ton Is that the butter be made
from sweet cream. Given this con-
dition, the resulting products may
be stored In jars, packed solidly or
I'm one-pound prints. In either case
the container must be thoroughly
and carefully scalded to kill all bac-
terial spores.
If packed solidly In such Jars, the
packed butter needs to be covered
with a clean and sterile white cloth
and salt placed over this at least
1872 Of an inch deep.
If prints are used, a salt brine
sufficiently strong to float an egg
is prepared. This will take about
one-fourth as much salt as water.
BOILED water should be used. Then
the one-pound prints wrapped In
clean white cloth are placed In the
Jar with a string around each print
so that 1t may be recovered easily.
A stone plate or follower Of some
kind should be placed on the butter
to keep it In the brine and then the
brine Is poured over the whole
thing. From time to time IT may
be necessary to add additional
brine.

Economy is many times an outstand-

building a home Is the irregular shape
of house which requires an irregular

in the foundation requires almost
twice as much masonry as the same

architects in designing small homes

INDICATE SMALLER
MELON CROP IN DEL.

The watermelon, cantaloupe
and tomato crops in Delaware
this year are indicated to be
smaller than last year, al
though in the two former
crops the acreage is larger
than last year, according to
Richard c. Ross, federal agri-
cultural statistician for Della
ware. The yield of cantaloupes
this year is estimated at 308,-
900 crates compared to $4,000
last year. Growers report that
early paintings have grown
we'll, but that later paintings
suffered from dry weather in
June.
Delaware watermelon grow
ers expect to harvest a crop of
about 100000 melons this year,
which will be nearly 10 per
cent smaller than last, which
was 23S,000 melons.
Statistics from the same
source show that production
of tomatoes grown in Deia-
ware for shipment to market
is expected to be about $4,000
bushels, compared with $4,000
bushels harvested in 1882, with
about the same acreage, but an
average yield per acre lower
this season.
