EOT GIVE DAIRY COW PROPER FEEDING Liberal Ration Increases the Milk Production Later. Giving the dairy cow a good start 5 by proper feeding throughout her dry period is a sure way to help her freshen In a desirable condition, says C. I*. Blackman, dairy specialist at Ohio State university. a cow beginning her 1 lactation 1 1® low condition, he states, may produce less than 70 per cent as much milk ns ' she produce* when she freshens in good condition. Apparently cows freshening in low condition produce less than their possible capacity ttironghntft the entire lactation period. Progressive ffEiirymcn who keep records and smdy their cows have learned this experience. Blackmat ; points out. They have found that the most profitable feed Is that fed during I the dry period. As soon as the cow-is dry she should <| , be fed according to tier condition, if ! she is in good ilesn. very little except a g 0...) legume hay and spage. or pasture, need be given during this time. • I However*, if she is In poor flesh it Is best to feet! lilveraily. Instead of a high protein .ation the <irv cow re- j quires one that is light and laxative. If a high qualify legume hay is available, he suggests that the ration : contain •)'*' pounds of com or corn and cob meal. ‘-W .pounds oa>s. UM» pounds wheat, 10" pound wheat bran, | and I<*> pounds linsejed oil meal or soy i bean meal. If only poor roughage, such ns titn- , othy hay. oat straw, or corn stover is f available, it. is usually best to increase the. oil meal or soy bean meal by 50 | per cent. » S -i — ■—: Drinking Cups Increase Cow’s Yield of Milk A dairyman recently said that of 4 all the impnwements that he had put into his dairy farm the one which brought him the most returns in actual dollars was drinking cups for his cow*. Another tiniryman found by actual figures that the drinking cups not I only saved a lot of work, hut have also greatly Increased the milk production of his herd Every farmer who has drinking cups knows that edws. like .people, drink more often when the supply is convenient, particularly when they are eating. At lea*t four pdund* or water are required for each pound of milk produced, jso that any increase in consumption of water Is usually foU' i by a co:-re<- r >n<l.ingiy larger j tnllk yield, Silage Increases Milk and Butter Production A survey of dairy herds in a large section of I’ennsvivania showed that a cow fed on silage produced l-'f* calI lons of milk more per year than w;hen 20 c.-nts a gallon this nmomits- to’ 5.”." more per year. For a ten-cow herd the Increased profits amount to approximately S3OO llj a single year. Another extensive survey ’ carried but by tho yfinnesota t’ow’ Testing association showed, that silage-fed cows ' produced a larger quantity of butterfat per cow. resulting in the production of 70 pounds more butter per w-.-ir. At' 42 cents n pound this amounts to an annual Increased profit of S3O per cow. . Dairy Hints There Is no b'-st breed 4f dairy cattle. / The rock-bottom essentials pf a good dairy bam are that It be clean, well j ventilated and well lighted. I Niggardly feeding of good cows Is I mistaken economy; likewise, libera) feeding of ptwr cows is just a.s p<«or practice. Proper feeding, culling, and manage- { went of the average dairy herd, combined with breeding for high production. will give the highest dairy rei turns. * ’ ’ Breeding records eliminate guess s work as to calving dates and [termit | the dairyman to dry up the cow a reasonable length of time before she is due to fresh est. For tillable pasture land that has gone to weeds, breaking may he best; I this to be followed by a fall nurse crop for the pasture grasses after a • cultivated crop In the spring and summer. • • • Grubs are beginning to show In the old cows by this time. It is rvommended that stockmen look for them I so as to remove them from thejfows’ hides. The grubs may be removed as soon as the hole is cut through the I hide by gently pressing It out. , Comparing corn silage with corn I fodder for feeding dairy cows, experiments conducted by the North Dakota experiment station revealed that the cows on trial produced 4 per cent more butterfat on silage than on fodder. • • • For dairy cows, wheat and barley have the same feeding value per ton. Do not use over 600 pounds of wheat in a ton of dairy feed; It is too concentrated. • • • Cattle need roughage In the ration. Where the supply of hay and silage is limited the amount fed may be somewhat less than usual but substituting concentrates for a large part of the roughage should not be attempted. It is better to make use of the straw stack vP to buy hay, oat feed, or beet pulp.

Old Fertilizers > Coming Into Use Many Less Common Elements Considered Nonessential Find Favor. (Prepared by tiw» United States Department of Agriculture.)— WNU Service. Although fertilizers have generally ! been considered complete with only the principal plant food elements, nitrogen. phosphorus, and potash, the United States Department of Agriculture has found that many of the less common elements heretofore con- i sidered nonessential or present in the soil in sutlicient quantities may deserve a place in the fertilizer bag. Deficient in Elements. Tn large areas ip the United States some of the soils are deficient in manganese, sulphur, iron magnesium, and chlorine. Experiments in the greenhouses have shown beneficial plantgrowth responses to applications of copper, boron, iodine, zinc, arsenic. ; barium, nickel, and other less common i elements. The everglades and east coast reI gions of Florida, where trucking is the chief form of agriculture, have been found deficient in manganese and have been made highly productive by application of about-50 ponndst of ; manganese sulphate an acre. Within the last two years this new fertilizer lias come into general use. It Im's been credited in sortie cases, with improving the yield of tomatoes by 175 to 450 crates an acre, the yield of beans by 3 1 4 tons an acre, the yield of cabbage by 42,107 pounds an acre, and (lie yield of potatoes by I*o bushels an acre. It has trebled ami quadrupled the size of carrots and beets find doubled the size of cauliflower. Chlorine Helps. On light sandy soils in some totfiicco growing reg ons an application of •Ju to it" pounds of ihiorne per acre, in the form of muriate of potash, im proves the yield, quality, and drought ' resistance of the crop. A large proportion of the tight sandy t<>b:H co soils are detbWvot in magnesium and at least 10 to 20 pounds per acre of this element must be included in the fertilizer If a normal, crop is to be obtained. Magnesium deficiency produces characteristic symptoms in the plant and the condition is popularly know n as sanff drown. . Feed Baby Chicks Soon’ After They Are Hatched Experiments at Purdue university tiffs last year have indicated that baby chicks may be fed early after they I come from the incubator, even immediately after removal without ill , effects, according to Roy E. Robert,s. ! in charge of the test. The growth of ttie chicks which ’ were fed early was similar to ttitit of chick* fed at the regular 4* t(\J72liour age. The mortality was no greater in. the early-fed chicks. Nmhing was gained in feeding the ' chicks before they were 48 hours old. Professor Roberts states, which enables the owner to hold them in the ’ncubatnr two days ami cuts the brood'ng period that much. Although strong 1 chicks live long periods without feed . it, is wise to feeti at least by the 48hour limit. I Cattle Feeding Has No Definite or Set Rules Cattle feeding is a business that does nor adapt itself to any definite ' rules. About the only tiling that iscertain is that conditions change. Because Farmer Jones did it this way, ! or that way.-with success, is not suf- i flcient reason for assuming that his plan will repeat on his farm or your farm. To be a successful cattle feeder. J learn all you can about the business i from different sources, and then fit 1 these different factors into your own farm conditions as ; t>est you can. No- ■ body knows what the future market will be. On a rising market it is well i to have your neighbor’s corn in your . cattle, but on a mean market too much of the Otlier fellow’s corn may .ruin' the? feeder. Turning Hatching Eggs Made Quite Easy Task Many poultry raiser.- who have only small flocks need to~MtV<» i gt's for sev- j eral days to get enough to set. As they must.be turned every day before they are put In the machine, it becomes quite a task. I have simplified I tlsis l\v packing the eggs in the egg cases when they are gathered, says , a writer In an exchange. Then the lid is put on and the crate Is turned, j thus saving the work of handling each ’ egg separately. Even though there are. not enough eggs to fill the crate, the fillers may; be put tn and the crate turned just the same. Another advantage In this way of caring for the eggs HF-that It lessens the chance of the eggs being broken, especially if there are children about Consumer of Lamb Not Interested in Weight The consumer of lamb is not interested in whether a lamb can be made to weigh 100 pounds in 100 days or if It weighs 50 pounds. He is. however, concerned about the size of the various cuts. The quality, flavor and appearance of the meat are matters which do concern him very much. The economy of the feed yard only affects him as It is passed on in the price he must pay for bis chops or leg of latnb. The.same parallel might be drawn for wool. The consumer knows and cares but little about the breed, but he knows what he wants In wearing apparel and pays accordingly. French Dandelions French dandelions were a big market novelty last year. They are merely a large leaved Million of the common dandelion, but fine for greens and a small row of them will be much easier to collect than to gather the vagrants about lawn and garden for spring greens. The French leaved are also fine for salads.

FARM POULTRY I-:- — ! PURE BRED HENS ARE PROFITABLE Cost a Little More but Pay It All Back in Eggs. , April is a good time to make every effort possible to produce pure bred poultry instead of mongrels. If flocks of hens are kept on our farms that I possess the colors of Joseph’s coat.! combined with numerous sizes and i shapes, and producing a product that J would take an expert to tell tlie shades ' and textureyof the shell, then poultry ' profits will he slim. With smalj prof-j its. our interest will lessen, and it ; takes interest to make us go after poultry in the right way. in the opin-1 ion of D. H. Hall, extension poultry ! husbandman, Clemson college. South Carolina. j “Have you ever seen a farmer that ! was interested in a mongrel flock of ! chickens? If you have, you have seen more than 1 have." says Mr. Hall. “As > a rule, when the farm flock are mon- ! grels. tlie farmer himself will always ' tels you that they belong to the wife, j but when pure bred poultry comes on the farm, then this same fanner j doesn’t mind showing the visitors the • poultry, and most of the time, will ; ' claim every one of them. “Pure bred poultry vvill also attract | attention to the farm. I do, not care I -bow humble the home may be or how*| poor the farmer is himself, people v|H always stop to look at a flock of pure . bred chickens. When other people are ! interested in the things you have, there Is usually a sale for them at a I good profit. “What about the cost? Pure bred j j chickens may cost a little more, but they will pay back in eggs and meat j : more than mongrels ever can. The 1 pure bred poultry. producers in each county shpuld get behind this move- | inent and plan pure bred poultry on each farm.” • Right Number of Males Required in Hen Flock There is no absolute rule in regard j to the number of males needed In a flock, but there are some general recommendations that will prove helpful m deciding this question. For the Asiatic breeds one rooster is needed ] for six or eight hens. These birds are i slower moving than tlie American j i breeds. The American breeds, such as f Plymouth Rocks. Rhode Island Reds . I and Wyandottes, need one rooster for every ten or twelve hens. With Leghorns and other Mediterranean breeds one rooster to fifteen or twenty hens i is usually satisfactory. ! The activity of the males will make ! some difference in regard to the nutnI her needed. In comparatively large flocks fewer males will t?e needed than where the rooster and hens are closely 'confined. It is better to have a few more males at the beginning of the J season than is needed so that there will be sufficient even though some of , !' them may become disabled dr die. If J new males are added later in the sea- I. ! -on they‘will usually start fighting and I io more harm than good. A few extra roosters early in the season is a, I more practical method of meeting the situation. Increasing Demand Capons of Good Quality There is a steadily Increasing demand for capons as the market be- | conies appreciative of their superior I quality for table purjtoses. ! The question is sometimes asked:, "What is a capon?" The answer is: i ‘An unsexed cockerel’’ —or a bird from which the reproductive organs have been removed before it has been fully ! developed or attains maturity. ■ This operation has the effect of causing a more placid tein[>erament to develop in the bird, and the fighting instinct is lost as the result of the continuance of the Infantile, undeveloped sexual nature. After the operation has been performed these birds grow rapidly; and their flesh retains ' the tender condition of young chickens up to the time when they are fully grown. Egg Hatchability Birds which have been producing l ! arge numbers of eggs throughout the j winter are usually found to produce pgg* late in the season with a lower i fertility and I-.atchability. The explanation of this Is that the vitality of ; the birds has gone into egg produo i tfon. The hatchability of these eggs can be improved, however, by giving the flock all the direct sunlight they can get during the winter. Cod liver oil Is also of some value, as are the good glass substitutes. Mating Geese The best results with the heavy bro is of geese come from mating in trios or using not more than three geese with each gander. On duck farms, a mating of seven ducks .to one drake usually gives good results. Ganders are usually larger and coarser than geese with larger heads and thicker necks and they have a more shrill call. The cry of the goose is rather harsh. The only sure way to determine the sex will be an examination.of the organs. Cost of Turkeys Recent Pennsylvania tests show a cost of 14.7 cents per pound of gain to raise bronze turkeys to twenty-four weeks of age. For White Holland turkeys the cost was 15.3 cents. It ‘ was also found that during the early part of the feeding period the turkeys gained a pound for each 2.56 pounds of grain fed. At the end of 24 weeks they gained a pound for every 7.71 pounds fed. This emphasizes the importance of finishing them for the market rapidly.

I ‘l : —II The Boyhood • of Famous •By Americans Fitzgerald || . Walter Chrysler The boy spent his time watching j the old wood-burning engines of the

things with the proper tools. Thus Walter Chrysler, early in life developed: the liking for mechanics that has aided him so much in gaining such a signal success later on in life. He was born in western Kansas in i 1876. Wamego; a typical prairie ham-, let, was his birthplace. His father, I an engineer for the Union Pacific railroad, moved to Ellis, a nearby town, when Walter was a little fellow. The lad grew up there in the atmosphere of engines and the din of repair work, for the shops of the Union Pacific were located at Ellis. He would watch his father start his r»-n in the primitive locomotives of naif a Century ago. He would be waiting for him on his return from across the prairie. The youngster aspired to follow in the footsteps of his father and become a first class mechanic. He. inherited a liking for machinery from his parent. The contacts and asso- - < •' ■> railroad center 1 to strengthen his inclinations. He thought seriously of following any career other tliah a mechanical one. The elder Chrysler piloted the first coal burning locomotive owned by the Union Pacific, which is indication enough that be was regarded, as the pick of the engineers on the road. His son came naturally enough by his mechanical bent, it would seem. The Ellis roundhouse and shops saw much of young Chrysler in, the time he could spare from school. During the summers he didn’t have so much time to loiter around the railroad shops. He worked for a grocer as an errand boy and clerk in the vacation periods. ’ His earnings helped the family. ’Times were none too good in Kansas in those days. When he was seventeen and had received the best common school education he could obtain in Ellis he de- ■ cided that it was high time for him to begin to earn his own living and to acquire a trade. lie tried and passed an examination to become a machinist’s apprentice in the Ellis shops. He had to make his own tools as he went along. Ills kit, consisting of assorted calipers, dividers, balanced hammers, test indicator and combination square, was all made with his town hands, he was eighteen. After a year in the shops he was skilled enough to build a miniature steam locomotive. It was complete in every detail, including air brakes. He built a track in his back yard and gave demonstrations of how the contrivance would run. Tired as he was frdtn a hard day’s work in the shops the youngster read magazines and books on engineering subjects to round out the practical knowledge he vvas gaining as a, machinist’s helper. At the end of four years of strict application to his jo-b he was earning 22cents an hour as a first class journeyman mechanic. Then he got the itching foot and decided, to see something of the country. He worked for a time in western shops, finally settling in Salt Lake City where his pay was cents an j ■ hour. There he repaired a locomotive’s blown off cylinder head in two hours so that it could pull out the fast mail.on schedule time.' This feat brought him the job. as foreman of the Colorado & Southern shops in Trinidad, Colo. Next he became superintendent of motive power for the Chicago & Great Western. Still thirsting for knowledge and a chance to broaden himself, he accepted the place as manager of the American Locomotive company in Pittsburgh, lie g<< his first chance in the automobile business with the Buick company, again accepting a big salary cut for the opportunity; With him the prospects for the future have always outweighed immediate rewards. What he did with Buick, General Motors, Willys-Overland, Maxwell-Chal-mers and his own product constitutes one of the most outstanding achievements in the automobile industry. Today his headquarters are in New York, where his ancestor, Tuenis Van Dolsen, was the first male child horn in the days when the city was New Amsterdam. It is a far cry frqm the sun-baked prairies of to a position in a leading industryfjyid to offices atop the highest building in the metropolis, a structure that bears his name. But that Is the place to which the box of tools made by Walter Chrysler, on his first job, helped carry him. He still has the Implements that started him on the path to fame and fortune. Nor has he forgotten how to use them. (©.by The North American Newspaper Alliance.)
