Boys' State Judging Contest

Br J. Pardsc Uoiveriitjr The boys' Judging contest, which was held at the state fair grounds September 5, 1911, was one of the worthy features of the fair. The con test was open to boys sixteen to nineteen years old who had never taken work In any school of agriculture and who had never won a premium In a state fair contest. The boys who participated were: Arthur Thompson, Marlon; M. H. Overton, Martinsville: Loyal Rector. Fillmore; P. R. Bausman, Dayton; E. G. Ilrown. Martinsville; John A. Craft, Kingsbury ; Gil bert A. Schwank. West Point; Edward Frazeo. Glenwood; George W. Vail. McCordsviUe; Guy Johnson, Summitvllle; üyron Traster, Fairmount, and Verl Clouse, Hope, Ind. Tho state board of agricuUuro has realized the valuo of this work for some time nnd this year they have given as premiums four scholarships in Purdue University School of Agriculture. The scholarships amount to $100. $75, $50 and $25 respectively. Tho boys who won these prizes were required to Judge classes of draft goldings. Angus bulls, Holstein holfcrs. Poland China sows, nnd Hampshire rams; besides exhibits of white corn, yellow corn and wheat. The standings of the winners out of a possible 800 per cent, were: First prize, P. R. Bausman, Dayton. 589 per cent.; second prize, John A. Craft, Kingsbury. 563 per cent.; third prize.

Value of Hoppers in Poultry Feeding By A. G. PH1LUPS, Associate u Poultry HaiWd-rr, PrJeo Einrissest SUtie Pwdue UaTerity Acricukaral Extt&iiea

1 Dry Mash Hopper for Hens. 2 Grit Hopper. for Chicks.

Tho poultry feed hopper as knowu today is a receptacle for holding feed that will allow fowls freo access to it whenever they so desire. Tho more Improved ones havo devices for controlling the How of feed and have cutoffs for keeping rats out. Tho hopper Is In many wnys a new thing, but Is about tho only means of handling dry mash feeding. Ex periment stations havo developed. Improved, touted and recommended It. until It Is now pretty well known throughout the country. There aro all kinds of feed hoppers. most of which are practical, and yet there Is not ono on tho. market that has not somo Tault If It fulfills all the requirements desired, then It is too expenslvo and if it is cheap It has some good quality lacking. Ono of tho main problems of the poultry business is that of labor. Any practical device that will bo emcient nnd still roduco the labor, la ahvaya willingly tried. Tho uso of hoppers has reduced the labor of feeding, a large per cent Many practical poultrymon simply fill the hoppers once a week nnd no other time Is spent with them. Grain and meal Is never mixed In a hopper, because somo fowls have desires different Trom others, and will pick out what grain they want and wasto the rest. Experiments havo proved that a wet mash Is a Uttlo more forcing than a dry mash, but produces less fertile eggs. This Is regardless of the question of labor. In order to food a wot mash, a mixing nnd q feeding vessel must both bo available. If too much Is fed, there 1b a wasto that cannot again be UBed. There Is also the

George W. Vn.ll, McCordsviUe, 5G1 per cent., and fourth pri: Verl R. Clouse, Hope, 560 per cent. The contents were conducted by D. O. Thompson and H. E. Alleu of the animal husbandry department, and C. O. Cromor of the soils and crops department of Purduo University School of Agriculture and Experiment Station. The superintendents and Judges In the various departments co-operated thoroughly to make this event of full value to the boys. The value of the contest lies largely In tho Interest and Inspiration for good live stock which close contact with some of the best stock at tho state fair gives tho boys who participate. The state board is to be commended for promoting a good cause In this way. by providing tills means wheroby boys from the farms of the state are permitted to enter the Judging arena and make a close study of the prize-winning animals of the fair. The boys who hare won these prizes are to be congratulated for the excellent start which they have made. It is to be hoped that they will enter tho Purdue School of Agriculture and avail themselves of tho oportunitles at their command. By graduating vrith four years training in agriculture they will be more capable of serring tho agricultural Interosts of the state and will bo more fully prepared for citizenship.

3 Dry Mash Hopper necessity of care In keeping tho vessels clean. There is no easier way to carry disease than by means of wet feed or drinking water, ho to prevent this, additional labor is required. If a breeder has Plymouth Rocks or some breed which becomes fal easily, It Is the easiest thing on earth to prevent, and yet allow plenty of feed, by means of a hopper. As was stated above, the only way to handle the dry mash is by means of a hopper. Nearly all meals, with tho exception of corn meal, contains less fat producing elements than do tho grains. If It is necessary to prevent over fatness, it certainly seems reasonable to Increase tho dry mash and reduce the grain or fat forming elements. With this kind of a problem the hopper Is lndcnpcnsable. N'o combination of grains can be made which will make a ration that Is properly balanced for laying hens. A grain ration Is too fattening and thcreforo something else must be added to It. Feeds, Huch as bran, shorts, beef scraps, etc.. are best to ubo, nnd theso can best bo handled In a hopper. Ono of the most practical methods now In use for feeding medium-sized chicks Is to fill ono hopper with a mixturo of grain, and another with dry mach, allowing tho chicks freo access to it Tit all times. Experience has taught tho most practical poultry feeder that tho abovementioned facts rnako it compulsory for him to use hoppers when keeping poultry. Plan a Plan to put cow stable.

FOR STACKING CORN FODDER Ventilation Is Necessary to Prevent Heating and Spoiling Two Methods Illustrated. Corn fodder can be stacked, but It requires care, iw veuuiauuu ui mo stack is necessary to prevent heating requires care, as ventilation of the ' nr., I ciMlntr A 1 timiv la In molr cool way Is to make a chimney In the center of tho stack. by placing soma rails upright In a sort of oval round a tree chaining them toStack Around a Tree. gether at the top till the stack Is com pleted. The rails aro so placed that an opening Is loft on each side when tho stack is built, for tho wind to blow through freely, ns shown In the illustration. Arranged In thie way. It is nearly impossible for the sown fod der to become Injured by heating, if the walls of the stack are not- much thicker than tho length of the bundles. But it often happens that such trees of the right height uro not at hand, , Using Forked Sticks. and a much improved modification is obtained by Inserting two forked sticks in the ground, about ten feet up to the forks, and at a convenient distance apart, and placing a horizontal pole on them. The length of this pole will determine their distance asunder. Then set a number of rails nearly upright or slightly leaning, with the upper ends against the horizontal pole. Against these vertical rails the oblong stack Is built, open at the ends, which tho wind freely blows. A series of forks will admit of the stock being made as long as may bo desired for any amount of fodder. REASONS FOR SAVING STRAW Will Be Needed for Shortness of Hay Live Stock In Feed Owing Crojj Keeps Comfort. to Owing to the shortness or the hny crop, straw will be valuable this winter for feed. It should be put Into the barn after threshing. If ricked in the barnyard makt ono large, long, high rick. Keep the middle full and well trodden down, and make a good steep roof. After the rick settles, top out, rake off the loose straw from all sides, then wire down to prevent tho top blowing oft. The rick should bo renced in to prevent the stock eating Into the sides. Oat straw, if it is not damaged by rain, makes a better rodder than wheat straw. Mules, young cattle and ' sheep can bo carried through tho win-1 ter on oat straw and a small daily al-1 lowance ot grain. We always give our cow a good forkful or clean dry straw nrter they have eaten their mixed feed, have had an hour's exercise end been watered, says the Baltlmoro American. A largo portion of the straw will bo eaten and what Is loft is used for bedding. A forkful of wheat straw Is given to each cow in the morning nnd also in the evening. Cows, mules and young stock have all the straw tbey want to ent nnd havo also a good, warm straw bed. The straw from 30 acres of wheat and 10 acres of oats Is thus used every season; tho stock Is kept In comfort, and a large quantity of rich manure Is mado. which Is hauled out and spread over the grass as fast aH made. A thick coat of manure makes a rich sod. and sod makes the com to feed the stock. Sheep and Potato Vines. "If you want to get rid of tho weeds In your potato field." said a. central Illinois farmer the othor day, "turn a tlock of sheep In. and they will tnako a clean Job of it and not harm a single vine." This ia jonly ono of many advantages of keeping a flock of sheep on the farm. Heating the Whey. Heating tho whey to 155 degrees will Improvo Its feeding valuo and also eliminate many of the objectionable flavors found in checso. Mare With Colt. Is It fair to expect a mare to do a full day's work and Bucklo a vigorous and always hungry colt without extra allowances of feed?

PUT CONCRETE TOP ON TANK

Stout Platform Should s Erected Just Level With Tee t. Hold Cover Until It Is Set. In reply to a query as to tho best way of putting a concrete top oa a circular stone supply tank, about 9 feet In diameter, the Breeder's Oa rette makes the following reply: "Make a stout platform In the tank Just level with the top to bold up the cover until It Is set As this plutform should be quito tight. It had bust be covered with building paper or other such mnterial. As one will want a manhole to take out tho lumber, he can cut out tho boards where this Is to be and replace them by having cleats nailed under them. The form for this manhole should be made tapering and out of 6-lnch boards, say 18 Inches at bottom and 22 Inches at tho top. On each side of the manhole i . iu . . . i. S "J."?h "nd d and hare some I "-J tu cu forcing, After placing nn inch of concrete place tho bars and the fencing which should be double and then fill In the concrete to i inches, If tho cover Is not tobe for sustaining any weight but its own. If It Is to be the fioor of a building, then put In 6 inches ol concrete. As soon as the concrete Is set, or, after ono day, take out the manhole box, lino the hole with paper and flu this with concrete, not for getting to put in some kind of ring by which to lift It After a week or ten days lift out the cover of the manhole and remove the wooden platform. This cover can be made on a plat form on the ground and then placed on the tank. To do this it will be best to uso a reinforcing of half-inch steel rods placed 6 inches on center each way nnd tied with wire at intersections and then make the thickness only 3 inches. Use a mixture of one. two and three. That is, one of cement, two of sand and three of crushed stone, nono over half an Inch la diameter. BRACKETS FOR CELLAR SHELF Considerable Work Required In Mak Ing Framework If Not Done While Wall Is Being Built. The erecting of shelves against a cement or stone wall usually requires considerable work In making the framework; this could be replaced by placing three-elghths-lnch iron rods In the mortar of the wall when it Is built, says the Homestead. These should project far enough to the boards used for shelves can lay on same, in the manner shown In Illustration. Where the wall has been constructed the holes can be drilled In same way by employing a miner's drill of the right size; It is then an easy matter to clip tho rods Into Handy Brackets for Cellar Shelves. these holes. As the rods can be rtmoved when desired the shelves can be erected and taken down at will, thus making them a very handy feature In the cellar. The holes should not project over six Inches In the wall, which would be ample to hold tho shelf and weight upon same. If tho rods are spaced three feet apart. The foul cistern spreads disease. It Is not advisable to add to silage Tbc nurse crop is going out of business. Plow up the grasEhoppor-cgg-infest-cd fields this fall. You can raise this amount on three acres of good land. There should be a place for everything but not out of doors. Buckthorn makes a splendid bedga. It is hardy and easily grown. Put the corn Into the silo as near as possible at the hard-glazing stage. Nine millions a year are spent oa the maintenanco of roads In England. It is encouraging to see how quickly tho pastures respond to frequent rains. High, well-drained soil Is best, but the grape will grow on most any kind of cll and exposure. Tho general hay crop Is short, and the careful farmer will save every possible bit of corn fodder. A silo ten feet la diameter aad 2S feet deep will hold 40 toss silage, or enough to feed ten cows seven months. notation Is as necessary to the growing of profltablo crops as variety of food is essential to the health of the Individual. Hye cut about the timo it begins to head nnd run through tho cutter Into the Pilo and well packed will make very good silage. There arc two kinds of wheat smut, loose smut and stinking or ball smut Doth can be prevented by treating the teed und rotating the crop.
