PRODUCTION COSTS
ARE DAIRY BUGABOO
Proper Choice of Feeds
Results in Saving.
BY r. HI. RUFFNER

Low production costs are essential
fer profitable dairying, as for any
other business, and the ability to
choose and use feeds properly helps
materially to reduce costs, accord
ing to the animal husbandry and
dairying department OF North Caro-
lima State college.
Live stock farmers should take a
tip from the automobile industry,
which has lowered production costs
by at least Is per cent in the past
20 years, thereby making cars avail
able to millions of Americans.
Dairymen can reduce the cost of
their products and make them avail
able to more people by studying the
advantages and limitations of feeds
and their relative values.
A wide variety of satisfactory
feeds are available for dairymen to
choose the combinations which are
most efficient and economical in bal
anced rations.
Among the low-protein, or carbo-
nyQrate feeQS are corn meal,
ground threshed grain sorghums,
ground or rolled barley, hominy
feed, ground wheat, or ground rough
rice. About one-fifth to one-fourth
more of the following bulkier feeds
should be used when they are SUBJ
stituted in the ration: Ground ear
corn with shuck ground grain. SOr-
ghum heads, and corn and cob meal.
Excellent feeds that give best re-
suits when they make up one-fourth
to one-third of the total ration are
ground oats, wheat bran, rice bran.
and alfalfa meal or other good quail
ity legume hays that have been fine
ly ground. These may be used in
terchangeably in dairy mixtures.

All-Year Skating Material

Iceolite is a chemical combination
OF mineral and vegetable ingredi-
ents blended together in a homo
geneous mixture. It provides skat-
ing surface with all the character
istics of natural ice, but has greater
rigidity and harder, more slippery
surface. It is impervious to mois-
ture, may be used in or outdoors,
and is not injurious to flesh or cloth
ing. The surface will last in
definitely.

LAW MAKES STRIKE

Deputy sheriffs Charles Ander-

Fency That!

The New England custom of plac-

stems from the habit of Grecian
travellers who put stone beside
each crossroad signpost Both the
Grecian and New England customs
led to clearing farms for blowing

travel.
