Clean Ground Is Very Important

————— * Sanitary Measures Have Been Found Valuable for Care of Swine. The Importance of sanitary conditions in the hog lot for the prevention of disease has been stressed for a number of years. When men first began to talk about sanitation in the hog pen they were laughed at —the idea that cleanliness could be of any value to a hog seemed incredible to those who were accustomed to seeing the old sow search out the filthiest mud-hole to be found for a sleeping | place on a hot summer day. After the United States Department of Agriculture had discovered the life history of the roundworm and had shown how the eggs of this pest hatch in barnyard filth, and how they are picked up by and infest young pigs, a different attitude has been developed among farmers who have come to clearly understand how the roundworm propagates Itself and how the so-called filth diseases can be as easily avoided as they can be contracted by the pigs if their yards are kept clean. Important to Poultryman. The sanitary measures that have been found valuable for the hog man are now considered of equal Importance and value to the poultry man. A large majority of the average farm poultry flocks are suffering from filth diseases the same as our hogs. Coccidlosls is one of the diseases responsible for heavy chick losses every year. It is caused by a parasite, known as coccldium, with which old chicken yards Invariably become infested and which can be avoided only by raising chickens on fresh gyound every year. The coccldium parasite Is not kept off the farm through streaks of “good luck," nor does “bad luck” bring it into the yards. It is a natural parasite of chickens and wherever the latter are raised In large numbers the former invariably appears. The only way to hold thfi». and all other similar pests In check, so far as that may be possible, consists in preventing it from perpetuating Itself. When a chicken yard has been used for a year, plow it up, seed it down to crops for a year or two and raise the chicks nn other ground In the meantime. It is as important to provide fresh, clean ground for chickens each year as it Is for the pigs, if the common ailments, responsible for nine-tenths of our chicken troubles, are to be avoided. Usa Clean Ground. There is neither satisfaction nor profit in raising hogs or poultry in lots that have been In use for those purposes for a number of years consecutively. Get out of that habit. Kaise all young stock on fresh ground each year. Lay out the land to be used for hog and chicken raising with the idea of having new ground ready for each season’s work. It can be done. You may need a movable colony house or two for the chickens us well as some movable houses for the ■pigs, but the expense will be light compared with the losses ordinarily sustained when hogs and chickens are raised in lots that have been used for those purposes for many years In succession. Quantities of Roughage and Grain to Feed Cows Nearly all cows differ In their capacity to turn feed Into milk. Therefore no inflexible rules for feeding can be made that will tit all cows. By Increasing the feed of the highest producing cows and carefully consulting the milk sheets on which each cow’s daily production is recorded, the skillful feeder will soon find that some cows respond to the larger allowance with an increased quantity of milk, while others fail to show any greater production. The following rules will serve as Indicators for the inexperienced feeder, although it is necessary to study the capacity and needs of each cow: Under most circumstances the cow should be fed all the roughage that she will eat up clean, adjustins the grain ration .to the milk production. Only when the cow tends to become overfat should the quantity of roughage be restricted. A grain mixture should be fed in the proportion of one pound to each three pints or pounds of 'milk produced daily by the cow, except in the case of a cow producing a flow of 40

FEEDING SOY BEANS TO FOWLS GAINS FAVOR AMONG FARMERS

Rich in Protein, but Lacking in Minerals. Soy beans have a place In the poultry ration, according to poultry experts at Purdue university. A study covering a four-year period with approximately 1,000 birds of the White Leghorn and Barred Rock breeds shows that in general the soy beans need a mineral supplement to go with the beans if they are to equal tankage and other animal protein supplements. Tankage carries about 60 per cent of protein and 20 per cent mineral. Soy beans are rich in protein, but carry only about 6 per cent of minerals. The Purdue investigation shows, however, that a mash mixture composed of 50 pounds bran, 50 pounds of middlings and 45 pounds of soy bean oil meal with 10 per cent of a mineral mixture composed of 22 pounds acid phosphate, 24 pounds limestone and 15 pounds of salt will give about the same results as 30 pounds of tankage mixed with the bran and middlings. In the 1923 experiment the birds fed on the soy bean and mineral ration produced 137.5 eggs; the tankage-fed

f. — pounds of milk. An even better rule Is one pound of grain each day for every pound of butterfat produced during the week by the cow. Feed all the cow will respond to In milk production. When she begins to put on flesh, cut down the grain. However, some cows lose flesh in the early part of their milking period and later in that period regain the lost weight. Lt will hardly be advisable, therefore, to reduce the grain allowance of such cows until they had regained the loss In weight. When they again freshen the extra feed will be returned in the form of milk. Manure Is Too Valuable for Strawberry Mulch Chicken manure Is too valuable to be used as a mulch on strawberry beds In most places In the Middle West. Any land good enough to raise 50 or 60 bushels of corn does not need It, or at least only in limited quantities. Straight poultry manure could be applied Just before the plants were set out. A small amount could be put on the bed early in the spring if the land Is thin. But for general mulching purposes, one would have to apply too much. If It Is to answer the purposes for which mulching material Is generally put on. So much plant food would he washed into the soil where the manure is uwd that a heavy growth of leaves would be stimulated, and the fruit would bo quite soft when ripe. The best kind of a mulch Is one of clean wheat straw from which all chaff and weed seeds have been shaken out. If this Is not done, the grain and weed seed that went out with the straw may start to grow, quite early In spring, and cause a lot of extra work In removing It. Beds are sometimes abandoned because of the heavy growth of wheat and weeds. Proper Time to Cut Soy Beans for Crop of Hay Soy beans should be cut for hay when the beans begin to harden and the lower leaves turn yellow. Hay that Is cut before this time Is rather too green and Is more dltthult to cure; if It Is left much later than this stage, some of the leaves will drop off They are the most valuable part of the plant, so far as feed is concerned, and they should be cured with the rest of the bay. Soy beans are much harder to cure than clover or timothy hay because of the large amount of green forage per acre and the rather course, green sappy stems. In good curing weather. It usually requires three or four days of curing before the hay is In proper shape to put into the stack or mow. They may then be picked up out of the windrow with the louder. In case of ruin or poor curing weather. It may be necessary to turn the windrows over with a side delivery rake. Es pecially will this l»e true where the beans are very heavy. Solve the Silo Problem in Various’Communities Probably the strong' t objection to ‘ the use of the silo is the labor necessary nt filling time. However, records show that it requires practically the same amount of total labor to harvest the entire corn plant in any other manner. It is simply a ease of mobilizing enough labor at one time, instead of using all fall and part of the winter to do it. Many communities solve the problem by working together with their available labor and in some cases hiring a few extra men. Os course the more help one has. the faster the job. In a few days' time the fields are cleared for wheat or rye seeding, and the feed is stored for the winter. The big advantage is larger feed value obtained from the silage as compared to any other method of harvesting. Rye Pasture for Hogs Rye makes a splendid fall, winter and early spring pasture for hogs of all kinds. Fall pigs that have access to rye pasture during the winter make much better use of other feeds than pigs that do not have-access to it. Brood sows that have access to rye pasture during the winter farrow stronger and thriftier pigs. Rye should be planted for pasture as early as moisture conditions will permit.

* birds produced 131.9 eggs and the birds fed on soy beans without minerals produced only 127.2 eggs per bird. The Purdue standard grain ration, composed of 100 pounds corn, 100 pounds wheat and 50 pounds oats, was fed with these mash rations. This experimental work is described in Purdue bulletin No. 293, which can be obtained from the university at Lafayette, Ind.

HARD TO EXPLAIN WHY EARTH QUAKES Still Much to Be Learned on the Subject. Seismologists’ explanations of the earthquake prevalence in the Far West offer no basic reasons. They say that the Santa Barbara temblor was tectonic, that it was caused by t recurrent slip along old fault Unes near the Pacific coast, and that the slip was probably set in motion by the slight quakes in Montana. This really gets nowhere, for it has long been known that the Pacific coast has many fault lines, and there is not even an effort to explain why the preliminary tremors were felt in Montana, where there are no fault lines, ami where there had been no earthquakes in the memory of man. It Is predicted there will be continuing quakes for some time, and they may be felt in widely separated parts of North America. This is, however, no cause for alarm. Except In regions of known earthouake prevalence, where the faults are marked, an earthquake seldom or never does any large damage. The earthquake j which a few months ago was lightly । felt In Cleveland and more markedly In New England and Canada, was quite innocuous. The Montana quake was one of the severest in a nonearthquake region, but the damage ■ was comparatively small and there ; was no loss of life. As for California, the danger is more real, but It Is to be borne In mind that only two disastrous earth- i quakes have been recorded in that state, the really calamitous San Fran- I cisco temblor and the one which re- । cently caused considerable damage In the small city of Santa Barbara. By ! the law of probabilities no more cities | are due for visitations for a long : time. That the danger is considered : very slight is proved by San Fran- i cisco’s magnificent rebuilding on the ruins of the destroyed city. We cannot tell the wherefore of ; earthquakes and we cannot predict 1 when or where they will occur. It is I possible, of course, for cities in earthquake regions to build with some ’ thought of earthquake possibilities, but otherwise nothing can be done, ' and American life Is not to be disturbed by phenomena as yet so in- I adequately explained.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Expositions Costly Stub exhibitions as the one recently In progress at Wembley entail an ( enormous expenditure to put over : properly, and whether they will result in loss or gain is always problematical, linden's first big exhibition, that of j I*sl, was h great financial success, i says the Montreal Star. More than . C.ooo/ioo people visited the Crystal palace. and the surplus, after paying all expenses, was nearly $750,000. The next one, held In 1562, was not bo successful. Shortly after Its opening the prince consort died and when the American Civil war broke out Its . receipts were so impaired that, although they totaled about $2,250,000, there was a final deficit of $50,000. j The Paris exhibition of 1887 showed a profit of $540,000. In Vienna tn 1873 a loss of nearly £2.000,000 was sus- ' tained: the Philadelphia exhibition ' showed a loss of about $1,250,000, J while the Paris international exhihi- | tlon. although it attracted 16.000,000 ; visitors, showed a deficit of $6,250,000. Then luck changed. A series of small exhibitions held at Kensington were all successful, while the Chicago । World’s fair and the great exhibition at St. Louis both showed big profits. : In 1908 London's White City proved a fairly profitable undertaking in spite of a wages bill of $4,1)00,000. Flute Centuries Old A flute which made music on the Nile in the balmy air of Egypt 3.OC)} years ago, recently played an encore in the University of Pennsylvania’s museum, says Capper’s Weekly. Un- | like our flutes, the wind enters through 1 slits in the side of the reeds instead : of the ends, and each note and its oc- j tave are sounded at the same time as ’ if two flutes were playing. The notes have a soft and mellow sound. The flute was found in the tomb of a noble of the time rs the Pharaohs. If somebody could find away to make it reproduce the tunes he played on it the Twentieth century might hear some new and Interesting music. Proof A beautiful young murderess had been acquitted of murder, and had gratefully kissed all the jurymen, and the jurymen had wept and patted her pretty shoulder and bidden her to go I and sin no more. “Modern woman !” said Butler Glaenzer, the New York critic, as he derided the episode. “It reminds m? of a police court scene. ‘“You are unmarried?’ a magistrate said to a man in a police court. “‘Unmarried?’ grunted the man. •Where did I get this broken arm then?’ ” r Japanese Like Films That the Japanese are as enthusl- I astlc about moving pictures and movie stars as are the film fans in America , । was recently evidenced by a prize con- j test for the most popular Japanese ' cinema player. The contest was con- : ducted by the Miyako Shimbun of Tokyo, one of the leading amusement newspapers of the capital, and the winner. Miss Nobuko Satsuki, received 1,813,553 votes. Both male and female players were eligible. Miss Satsuki is noted for her “vamp” roles. Toy Theater Comes Back In Europe the toy theater has again taken hold of the popular fancy with the result that there are some interesting offerings being made. The smart set of London is back of ft. The entertainment is given by means of miniature toy actors manipulated by Strings. It is a far cry from the days of the manipulated punch and Judy shows, as even Shakespearean dramas are being given in these modern toy theaters.
