, HORSE RATIONS : ARE EXPLAINED i Winter Feeding of Horses And Mules Outlined By Expert A number of rations for horses and mules during the period in which they are inactive by T. A. Ewing, of the Missouri college ot agriculture. ' An outline of his suggestions is: Feeding requirements will be diff- ' erent for mature idle horses, horses at light and heavy work, mares in foal, and immature animals , ranging from colts to 3-year-olds. | I Six suggested daily rations for al I 1200-pound idle horse are as follows: grass hay 17.5 lbs. and linseed oil meal % to 1 lb.; legume hay 17 lbs.; legume hay 9 pounds and grass hay 9 lbs.; corn or sorghum fodder 11 lbs. and legume hay 8 lbs.; corn or sorghum silage 15 lbs., oat or barley straw 6 lbs. and legume hay 7 lbs.; oats or barley straw 6 lbs. and legume hay 12 lbs. Horses and mules at light work can be fed one of the following: grass hay 16 lbs. and oats 6 lbs.; grass hay 16 lbs., corn 4.5 lbs., and linseed oil meal % lb.; legume hay 16 lbs. and corn 4 lbs.: legume hay 8 lbs., grass hay 8 lbs. and corn 4tg lbs.; shreddeu corn fodder 8 lbs. j legume hay 8 lbs. and oats 5 lbs.; oat or barley straw 6 lbs., legume hay 10 lbs., and oats 6 lbs. Horses and mules at hard work should receive heavier rations such J las any of the following; grass 12 ilbs. and oats 16 lbs.; grass 12 lbs.. I corn 13 lbs., and linseed oil meal 1 lib.; legume hay 12 lbs. and corn 113*6 ins.; legume hay 6 lbs., grass hay 6 lbs. and corn 14 lbs.; shred- | ded corn fodder 6 lbs., legume hay 16 lbs., ana oats 15 lbs.; oats or . barley straw 4 lbs., legume hay 8 lbs., and oats 16 lbs. I Brood mares can be wintered on Jone of the following two rations: | legume hay 16 lbs. and corn or other grain 6 lbs.; timothy hay 16 lbs., I oats 3 lbs., bran 3 lbs and linseed j oil meal 1 lb. EGG PRODUCTION HELPED BY MASH Wet Mash Will Help Overcome Effects Os Cloudy Days Feeding wet mash to the laying flock once a day will heir maintain egg production, thus overcoming the effects of the shorter hours of daylight and of cloudy days which are ahead this winter, says D. D. Moyer of the Misouri College of Agriculture. Wet mash feeding is valuable because it adds variety to the hen’s diet, and is more palatable thus increasing feed consumption, it should be fed preferably at noon each day by moistening the regular dry mash with milk or water to make it crumbly and feeding in the amount the flock will clean up in about 15 minutes. The milk or water used to moisten the mash should be warm during cold weather. Feeding wet mash is also valuable in flocks where the birds do not consume enough grain to maintain satisfactory body weight, w-hich results in lower egg production. When such a condition exists, a fattening mash should be used and made crumbly instead of the regular laying mash. This mash should be composed of 70 pounds of yellow corn meal, 20 pounds of! shorts or ground wheat, 5 pounds of meat scraps, and 5 pounds of dried milk. / The rest of the ration should not be changed.

G. E. Enfield, Purdue extension agronomist, stated today. More accurate fertilizer recommendations have been given on samples ot soil submitted, which have resulted in a saving of thousands of dollars by Indiana farmers in buying the right analysis of commercial fertilizers and also in bringing about higher yields and better quality of crops. Adams County Agent L. E. Archbold has one of the Purdue kits and is prepared to test samples of soil in his office. Recommendations can be obtained in this way which will be valuable in purchasing fertilizer. Samples of the soil may be air dried but should not be dried by means of artificial heat. TWO MILLION IS ’ SPENT IN STATE Large Sum Already Paid In Soil Conservation Program Lafayette, Ind.. Jan. 22—More than $3,011,000 have been paid to Indiana farmers for farming activities under the provisions of the 1936 Agricultural Conservation program, the Indiana State Agricul--1 tural Conservation Committee announced today. The payments were based upon a total of 22,500 applications that had been approved as of Jan. 15. Each farmer is receiving 90 per cent now of the payment that will be made upon his performance under

the soil conservation program. To date, a total of 42.982 applications have been received by the state j ! committee and 103,000 are expect-: ed. 1 Applications for payments have i been received from every county jin Hie state except the following: Adams. Floyd. Fountain, Franklin, Ohio, Owen, Pulaski, Starke, Switzerland, Vermillion and Worrick. I o William Bell left last evening for Indianapolis where he will look after business for a day or two.

FARM BASES SET FOR SOIL PLAN -V T Conservation Acreage lo Be Fixed By County Leaders Soil-depleting and soil conserving bases which will be established for each participating farm under the provisions of the 1937 agricultural conservation program, will be 1 used to determine each participatI ing farmer’s conservation accompj lishment and the amount o’ pay--1 ments for which he may qualify, I according to L. E. Hoffman, assisi tant county agent leader of Purdue University and a member of the State Committee. In establishing soil-depleting bases the production system on the ifarm and sound farm practice for I the area in which the farm is located will be taken into consideration. The soil-depleting base will be established by the County committee on the basis of information obtained from the farmer and from other sources. The acreage in the soil-conserving base will be the ; difference between the total numi ber of acres of cropland and the sum of the number of acres in the soil-depleting base and any acreage in orchards and vineyards. In general, the soil-conserving base is the portion of the farm I which would normally be devoted to soil-conserving crops, although because of loss of seedings in 1936 due to the drought, actual acreage of soil-conserving crops in many areas is expected to be less I than the acreage in the soil-con-I serving base. Detailed information on the establishment of bases and on other provisions of the 1937 program will be available to Indiana farm-
