PRODUCTION COSTS
ARE DAIRY BUGABOO
Proper Choice of Feeds Re-
suits in Saving.
BY r.. III. RUFFNER

Low production costs are essential
for 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-
hydrate feeds are corn meal,
ground threshed grain sorghu1ns,
ground or rolled barley, honiny
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.

neers, are preparing the plans and
specifications.
When they are completed the En-
gineer Corps office may ask for bids
for the work, pending securing of the
funds for the bridge, estimated to
cost about $1,200,000.
Engineer Corps officials pointed out
the Congressional Act, directing the
corps to construct a high-level bridge
did not provide specifically for funds
other than to direct it be constructed
of money heretofore appropriated or
hereafter to be appropriated" for the
corps.
Engineers at Philadelphia said the
problem of securing the funds is in the
hands of the office of the chief of
engineers.

Corps jobs authorized throughout the

Mr.. and Mrs. r. S. Gilmore attend.
ed the funeral in Belle Haven last
Thursday, of the formers uncle, Mr.
E. Bailey Gilmore, of Painter. Mr.
Elmore, who was IS years of age.
was instantly killed by northbound
express train as he stepped from the
platform to the tracks. Mr.. Elmore's
hearing was affected and it is thought
that at the time that he may have
had something on his mind and that
the knowledge of the approaching
train was unheeded. This is the Sec
ond accident Of a similar nature to
occur within short period. The 9TH
er was that of Mr.. Harry L. Gladding,
who was killed at LeCato Station Au-
gust 18th. Mr.. Elmore is survived
by one sister, with whom he made his
home, half sister and three brothers.

Opportunities Offered
In Homemade Equipment

Homemade equipment is only for
persons who have ideas Of their
own. A farmer usually sees a
neighbours wagon, inspects it, and
goes home to build one for himself,
or let's his son do it.
Also, say engineers at the New
York State College of Agriculture,
rubber-tired tractors have con-
WINGED farmers Of the practicability
Of rubber-mounted equipment.
In their opinion, start toward
bringing all the equipment up-to-
date is the farm wagon which can
be made easily and will cost about
$35, without box or rack. Auto run
ming gear, preferably with 60O-16
tires, lends itself to easy tire re-
placement when the wagon is heavi-
ly loaded.
The advantages Of tires are lost, it
Is said, with more than Is pounds
pressure in them. Used tires are
satisfactory If the wagon is used
on the farm and not behind truck
or car on the highway. If used on
the road as a trailer, New York
state law requires that it be
equipped with brakes, lights, and
license
Ensilage carts that push easily
over litter and other distractions
may be made at a cost Of from $40
to $25 for material and labor, ac-
cording to the engineers. A sturdy
handy cart for carrying milk cans
may be made from old auto wheels,
he says.
More emphasis is being placed by
life insurance companies on the
making of farm mortgage loans
than for more than a decade, re-
ports the Federal Home Loan Bank
Review.

Shorts and Middlings

Some 60 varieties of celery are
cultivated in the United States.
Turkey raising conditions were so
favorable in 1888 that a further ex-
pansion of production has been pre-
dicted for 1889.
Ten per cent of the total of eggs
produced in the United States in re-
cent years is estimated to have gone
into cold storage.
Gooseberries and currants are
hosts for blister rust, and for this
reason many states have passed
laws against their cultivation.
