' SUBSCRIPTION in Year Advance Per $2.00 matter Feb, Entered as second-clas- s 8, 1929, at the post office Randolph, Utah, under the Act of Mar. 3, 1879. t'l c Prioiltgm United States Department (Prepared by the o f Agriculture.) Many dairymen, in their effort to Increase the production per cow, have acquired the habit of feeding too much concentrated grain feed, says O. E. Reed, chief of the bureau of dairy Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture. More net profit per cow can be made under some conditions, he says, by feeding a limited grain ration or even a roughage ration in preference to a ration. To demonstrate this statement, Mr. Reed cites the results of an experiment by the bureau at Huntley, Mont In this experiment three plans of feeding were compared. Ten cows were fed over a three-yea- r period on each of the following rations: For one year (1) roughage alone, consisting of corn silage, roots, alfalfa hay, and Irrigated pasture; for another year (2) the same roughages and a' limited grain ration of one pound of grain mixture to each of six pounds of milk produced; and for still another year (3) the same roughages and a full grain ration of one pound of grain to each three pounds of milk produced. On the first ration, when production was figured to maturity, the cows averaged 478 pounds of butter-faon the second ration 584.1 pounds, and on the third 619.9 pounds. At the prevailing prices for feed and for milk and butterfat, the returns over cost of feed were $161 per cow on the first ration, $185 on the second, and $132 on the third. The limited grain ration was therefore the most profitable, with the roughage ration a close second. t, Inefficient Separators Waste Much Butterfat Butterfat left In skim milk by Inefficient cream separators often costs dairymen and farmer owners any- where from a few dollars to several hundred dollars yearly. Improper adjustment and lack of care on the part of the operators cause most of the losses. Testers In dairy herd Improvement associations of 30 states find the loss from poor skimming one of the most serious problems of the industry.' Out of 30 typical cream separators recently checked by testers, only three were wasting less than $20 worth of butterfat a year and five were leaving more than $100 worth of butterfat In the skim milk annually. One new separator, only a month old, was found to be leaving 1 per cent butterfat In the skim milk, probably of the total fat present. In 523 demonstrations during the early part of 1928, a manufacturer of cream separators found that the average separator was wasting butterfat with a yearly value of $79.61. Tests for 1927 gave similar results. one-four- th Calf Scours Is Usually Caused by Indigestion Calf scours is a common disease of the digestive tract and Is usually caused by indigestion. The calf that scours early In life may be seriously handicapped and of course sometimes dies. Prevention Is best but not always possible. Care should be taken that the calf Is not overfed, that the milk Is always fed warm, and that the milk is uniformly sweet and fed from clean buckets. If scours occur, cut the milk down and give a does of one to three ounces of castor oil or of mineral oil Raw eggs may be used to correct the trouble. Two or three tablespoonfuls of lime water In the milk is sometimes effective. one-ha- lf . Dairy Facts 1 1 1 1 H-M- " Succulence can be furnished with silage, mangel beets, or wet beet pulp. All of these will prove their worth at the pall. e Sweet clover Is a great pasture. One acre of It will produce more than three acres of red clover. Fifteen acres of sweet clover pasture will carry forty Holstein cows from May until August . p " MANTI Heavy morality among livestock followed the wake of a light snowstorm in Sanpete and Sevier counties recently. At Manti it was reported that several hundred lambs born during the night had died, and stockmen feared that early lambing would be almost a total loss. GUNNISON Fruit is not suffering due to the fact that there has not been warm enought weather for the trees to blossom, and therefore the fruit trees are not endangered by the frost. Onion crops and some other garden crops in the Gunnison valley were damaged by the storm although to what extent is not known. . SALT LAKE Directors of the Utah Woolgrowers association went on record as favoring the Colton bill for the regulation in the Vermont building recently. Resolutions were also adopted urging the orderly marketing of wool and offering to make cash advances through the Utah Wool Marketing association, to local woolgrowers. SPRINGVILLE Another step was taken in the poultry industry here recently when V. Cornell Mendenhall stocked his poultry farm with 3,000 baby turkeys. This is the first large shipment of the Thanksgiving Birds" to be received here. Bern Mendenhall will receive 3,000 more next week, but he will transfer his birds to a farm on the west side of Utah lake. FAR M N GTO N Delore Nichols, county agent, said that little or no damage would be done to the onion crop of Davis county by the recent snowstorms. Very few acres of onions were planted in the county before March 15.' Most of the onion planting was done principally in Farmington and the south end of the county, as the ground in the north end of the county hasnt been ready for planting. BINGHAM Bingham was loaded with 18 inches of new snow recently, and traffic even in the center of town was practically at a standstill. The city was guarding against a snowslide, as the heavy fp.ll of wet snow has provided real snowslide weather. The highway between Salt Lake and Bingham was open to travel in a few hours but drifting snow slowed progress considerably. S ALIN A Early completion of the lake road is asSalina canyon-Fissured, according to Supervisor C. A.' Mattson of the Fish lake forest reserve. Sam M. Jorgenson, W.

HUNTINGTON Eastern Utah tinued to be favored with dry weather during the early week of April storms of central Utah. Favorable, perhaps, from some viewpoints, this spell of dry weather may seriously hamper the ranges and crops, which the early rain so favored, this year. It has been three weeks since any moisture fell, with some hot days intermingled since then, and the plant life is beginning to feel the dryness, which the recent winds have aggravated. SALT LAKE Prospects for spring and summer range for Utah livestock have been improved by snows and rains in March, the range and livestock report for April 1, released recently by Frank Andrews, federal statistician, declares. ' For the past four months, precipitation has been above normal, the report explains. Stock-me- n feel, judging from county reports, that there has been a slight Increase in the condition of ranges now in use but that they are still very poor on the whole, the report says. SALT LAKE Complete destruction of the, fruit crop in the vicinity of Hurricane, Washington county, Is predicted by the fruitgrowers as a result of the heavy frost which visited that section recently, according to information received at the state agricultural department. . The unseasonably frost, the messages said, formed led a quarter of an inch thick. Hurrincane is ' located in the extreme southern part of the state, at a low altitude, and ordinarily enjoys semitropical climate. MYTON Water was turned into nearly every canal of the Uintah Irrigation project recently under supervision Of T. C. Guyn of Mytoh, project engineer. The canals, totalling nearly 9.00 miles in the. system, serve 60,000 acres of Indian land and 25,000 acres of homestead land..

Eggs Putting Before you set any hen not known to be absolutely free of lice, give her some sort of treatment to destroy lice and then see that the nest Is clean, with fresh nest material. The nicotine sulphate treatment recently discovered is one of the easiest ways to delouse a setting hen. Paint a few dabs of it In the bottom of a box just large enough for the hen to sit in, and put her in It over night It will not deter her from setting but It will destroy ali living lice. Now nse a bit of bine ointment in the region below the vent where lice breed and there will be no lice problem when chicks hatch. If a lousy hen is just about ready to hatch, paint the nicotine sulphate generously in a box that has been warmed to promote rapid evaporation of the fumes, and put the hen in for an hour, covering her eggs with warm flannel in the meantime. Use the blue ointment also to get the nits that may hatch. There are other ways of delousing which takes more time. Whatever is used, do it before the chicks hatch and avoid the troubles that lice bring. I AH deelen. 200 trees of some kinds, such as the apple and fig, have the form of a straight whip, In which case It Is only necessary to remove the top at the desired point However, trees like the peach, apricot and plum usually have several small, side branches below the point where th top is removed, which must be considered. The mistake is sometimes made of cutting the longer of such branches back four to five inches from the trunk in an effort to force them into scaffold limbs or of removing them entirely close to the trunk. In the first case, such Immature twigs are too weak to form the basis for scaffold limbs. Though one or two may be sufficiently heavy for this purpose, this number alone would make an unbalanced tree. In the second case, if the twigs are cut close to the trunk, basal buds are destroyed which may be needed later for the development of scaffold limbs. One-year-o- ld The location of a vineyard often has a lot to do with the quantity of the grapes produced. In a hilly country low spots should be avoided, because they do not provide eitfier the air or the water drainage that is necessary. Pick out the high spots, and the vineyards will not be so apt to suffer from frost damage. In level sections this point is not so marked, but even there the higher spots are more desirable. Near large bodies of water the temperature does not change rapidly and such sections are usually well adapted to fruit growing because of less damage from late frosts in the spring, and early frosts in the fall.

From 8 to 4 square feet of floor space should be allowed each bird. - Every day 10,000 women buy a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. They know that there is no better remedy for their troublesome ailments with their accompanying nervousness, backache, headache,' blue spells, and rundown condition. , ftW.I Dr. Caldwell watched the results of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur .from time to time. Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Cialdwell always was in favor of getting as dose to nature as possible, hence his remedy for constipation is a mild vegetable compound, ft can not harm the most delicate system and is not habit forming. The Doctor never did approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for human beings to put into their system. Use Syrup Pepsin for yourself and members of the family in constipation, biliousness, sour and crampy stomach, bad breath, no appetite, headache, and to break up fevers and cold. Get a bottle today, at any drugstore and observe these three rules of health: Keep the head cool, the feet warm, the bowels open. For a free trial bottle, just write Syrup Pepein, Dept.
