lof making a limited supply of com i go farther in hog feeding, farmers i are interested in the amount of ' corn that can be saved by the use ■ of the supplementary feeds, as well 'as the substitute feeds. The pres- ; ent feed situation is such, that every farmer should give this mat ter serious consideration. Tankage la Help It has been shown that where hogs are fed corn alone in dry lot,' ; ten or more bushels of corn are 1 required to produce one-hundred pounds of gain. Feeding tests have shown that in some cases as many as twelve to fourteen bushels of corn are required. Hogs that are fed a ration of corn and tankage require only about seven bushels of corn and thirty to forty pounds of tankage for 100 pounds gain. J From these results it is calculat--ed that one-hundred pounds of tankage saves approximately ten bushels of corn when fed with the corn to fattening hogs in dry lot. At the present time, 100 pounds of tankage can be bought for approximately $3.10. The ten bushels of

corn saved by feeding the 100 i pounds of tankage are worth at least $12.00 when figured at present prices. The feeding of the tank-j age with the corn effects a great, saving in the cost of gain, but also saves com which may be fed! to other hogs. Where tankage is added to a full-feed of corn and . legume pasture, an average saving I of about three and one-half bushels of corn is made for each 100 pounds of tankage fed. While tankage is used for illustration, the protein-rich supplements like skim' milk, butttermilk, soybean oil meal' and others give similar advantages in feeding. Good Pasture One of the best means of saving corn and other concentrate feeds in pork production is to sup-| ply hogs with plenty of good pas-! ture. Good pasture saves from 10 to 20 per cent of grain in the production of hogs. A good pasture program should have, if at all possible, a sufficient acreage of alfalfa or clover to carry the hogs through the summer months. The hog grower who has sufficient alfalfa pasture is protected for pasturage during the most difficult part of the season, which is through July, August, and early September. Sweet clover sown early with a ' nurse crop of oats usually makes sufficient growth to be pastured in the late summer when there is likely to be a shortage of other pastures. Sudan grass can also be relied upon for pasturage at this time hut is less desirable than the legumes, and must be grazed closely to keep it tender. Rye sown about the first of September provides a good late fall and early winter pasture, and is especially valuable the following spring for sows and their litters.

PORTER TIRE CO. 341 Winchester Phone 1289 7 “v&APDtN GOSSIPY, ! by W yJPBTER Lawns NO MATTER hew good your lawn was last year or how well it has come through the winter, ] it needs a good raking—rolling | and fertilization. A moderate re- i seeding will help to thicken grass this summer. IN SOWING grass seed it is best to broadcast in two directions—at right angles to each other and using one-half of the seed each way. WHERE GRADING has been done on your new lawn, be sure the ground has fully settled before you seed it. It is difficult to get rid of the unevenness after grass has come. THE PRESENCE of moss on your lawn indicates either a sour or impoverished soil. For the first, apply hydrated lime and for . the second use a good quality of fertilizer. Practically any | soil, however, will benefit by an application of lime followed a week or two later by fertilizer. Do not apply both too close together. WHETHER ON the lawn or in the garden, deep moisture encourages deep rooting. One thorough wetting that gets the water deep down, is better than several light sprinklings. •• • * AFTER YOU HAVE applied lAwn Enricher or fertilizer, go over the lawn with the back of the rake so as to remove it from the leaves and then wet thoroughly so that the fertilizer will get down to the roots. •• • ♦ RAKE YOUR GRASS before cutting. Crab grass and other weeds lie close to the ground and this makes sure getting cut. With most weeds, the growth is at the ends while with grass it is at the base. •♦ * • GRASS IS fully hardy and a lawn that is vigorous and in good condition should not be protected during the winter, in fact protection does more harm than good.

POISON BAIT KILLS WORMS Cutworm Control Advised Early In Season Here Cutworms inflict heavy damagI es on garden and truck crops, with I cabbages and tomatoes suffering ‘ the greatest casualties, states W. W. Stanley, U-T Experiment Sta- 1 tlon assistant entomologist. In some places they inflict heavy 1 losses. Occasionally they enter plant-beds and cause injury to the I small plants. When this occurs, ' they may be controlled by dusting with lead arsenate or with poison bait. The most economical method of killing cutworms. Mr. Stanley says,! is to apply a poison bait contain-' fng wheat bran and sodium fluosilicate or Paris green. The following proportions are recommended: Dry wheat bran (free of shorts) '25 pounds, sodium fluosilicate or i Paris green % pound, and, water 2% gallons. Mix the bran and poison in a bucket or tub, so that each flake I Will be thoroughly coated with the poison. Add water, stirring all the time. Keep stirring until bran ab-'-sorbs water so that the mixture is ' moist and flaky. A low grade molasses can be added, as it has been discovered that cutworms are attracted by its use. Scatter the bran just before dark. Broadcast by hand, if using small amounts, in the area where cutworms worked the preceding night. If plants are in rows, string the poison along both sides of the row. Be sure and clean the container well. If poison bran is used in the garden, be sure to keep chickens away as the preparation will poison them. For further information on the control of cutworms, ask your county agent or write the agricultural experiment station, Knoxville, for a copy of Bulletin No. 159.

When sold at the wrong time or at the wrong place, even high quality products may not be profitable. Pigs should never be allowed to sleep in wet, drafty quarters. Daily or semi-weekly changing of the litter in the brooder house will do more to eliminate coccidI iosis among chicks than all of the I cures on the market. Good stable manure is tho best general purpose fertilizer for the home vegetable garden. Purdue poultry specialists |say that if you want summer and fall eggs from your flock, continue mash feeding even after the hens start moulting.

ROOSTERS USE NEEDED FEEDS Most Profitable To Sell Roosters Before Summer Weather Most roosters have served their Usefulness this year, and should be considered as hoarders each day they are kept during the rest |of the year. | “It is estimated that an adult rooster will eat about one-fifth of a pound of feed daily,” states W. IP. Albright, extension poultryman for Purdue University. As hot weather approaches, males lose weight and prices generally drop : later in the season. All roosters should be sold now to save feed and to take advantage of present prices. Many poultrymen in the state ! receive a premium for their eggs 1 by selling on a graded basis. Only i infertile eggs are produced during ! ' the summer months and there is ! ( no loss from blood • rings. Blood ’ I rings develop very quickly in fer-i 1 tile eggs when they are' exposed ' | to the heat, and one sure way to ■ 1 prevent this loss is to remove the; roosters and keep all young cockerels separated from the laying ' flock.

POISON WEEDS ARE DESCRIBED: Weeds May Be Dangerous To Livestock During Spring Months Several poisonous plants are only dangerous or especially so during the spring months, according to H. A. Runnels of the Botany Department of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. All pastures should be inspected for wild I cherry and wet areas, for cockle- i bur seedlings, water hemlock, and [ celery-leaf crowfoot. If a wooded pasture is to be used, the so-called “staggerweeds” should be included. The three uncultivated species of cherry are commonly recognized as a cause of fatal poisoning when a small quantity of the partially wilted leaves from a broken branch is eaten. It is less wellknown that seedlings are dangerous, not easily seen in the early stages, and so numerous under old I trees that a grazing animal may readily consume them with the pasture grasses. The common sytnptons of staggering, difficult breath- , ing, convulsions, and coma usualI ly follow too rapidly to permit the. I use of an antidote. Cockleburs Cockleburs are fatally poisonous : to cattle, sheep, and especially hogs, only when in the cotyledon stage. The long, narrow seed leaves require diligent search because of their dissimilarity to the maI ture leaves. They occur on over- ' flow lands and banks of ponds and ' streams. The symptons are weakness, labored breathing, and rapid but weak tputee. The prompt administration of fats, such as lard or i cream, may save a poisoned animal. Spotted water hemlock, also limited to wet areas, has the pois-

Celery-leaf crowfoot, a plant of similar situations, which may cause severe inflamatlon of the digestive tract, may be eaten in quantity during early spring when pasture is short. The ‘‘Ktaggerweeds" may poison cattle In woodland pastures, at least until mid May. Dutchman’s breeches, dwarf larkspur, and. to a lesser degree, squirrel corn cause trembling and a staggering, stiffened gait. Fortunately sheep are immune and may be used to clean up infested areas.
