Show THE THHTAH BASDX FABHEE : Mixture of Cooked Beans and Com for Pig Feed 3 In an experiment carried on at the Michigan experiment station cull table beans were fed In a mixture of cooked beans and corn for pigs, and the results showed that they had a high food value for swine when fed in connection with some high carbohydrate feed. It seems that they could be fed with success to cows and poultry, but It would not be advisable to limit the amount of com as beans are high In protein. Cull beanmeal carries 20 per cent of protein, 4 O D o per cegt Of carbohydrates and 13 per lJent of fat Com Is not a protein feed, but Is, however, an Important .grain In a ration. The use of com Is for energy and fat for an animat rather than for the production of ;milk and eggs. It would seem that where cooked cull beans are fed to cows at the rate of 5 pounds a day, an 18 per cent protein ration In addition, fed at the rate of 1 pound of pounds of milk, grain to each 3 might make a good feed. It is suggested that a grain ration feed be : 1 part com meat 2 parts bran, 2 parts ground oats, 2 parts gluten feed, 2 parts cottonseed meal and 1 part of oilmeat For poultry the beans should replace wheat In the scratch feed, and could take the place of middlings In a 'mash. It Is safe to say that beans, ;like any other feed. In a ration for an animal should not make up over 25 per cent of the ration. milk-produci- BIG SUPER ng Jack Rabbits Kill Many Trees in Shelter Belt Jack rabbits cause considerable Injury to forest trees in many localities. ,In winter the succulent branches of the smaller trees are often girdled, causing stunted growth and sometimes killing the trees, writes C. A. Gillett, in the Dakota Farmer. Probably the best method of protrees from tecting young shelter-bel- t the rodents is fencing the shelter-be- lt area with a suitable fence that will prevent the rabbits from jumping over or getting through the mesh. Operations for the control of jack rabbits are being directed by the : United States Department of Agriculture biological survey. In South Dakota the work Is to be aided by the establishment of a number of commercial stations for buying jack rabbits skins In the western half of the state by agreements during the coming winter with produce companies In the are to East The Jack rabbit skins - v ture of be used mostly in the manfelt hats.

J Hens Like to Peck at Commercial Wall Board When commercial wall board Is used to line the inside of poultry houses the hens have a tendency to 'peck at the boards and tear off and eat part of the material. This can be prevented by covering the wall board with a paint composed of three parts cement and one part fine sand mixed to a plastic state with skim milk. This paint gives the surface a hard stone-ilik- e finish which Is not easily broken by $he pecking of the hens. Two coats of the UghTgray cement paint are necessary. It can he applied with a whitewash brush. The second coat can he applied about three hours after the first coat. If the poultryman does uot wish to have .the house too dark, the gray cement paint can he used to a point as high as the hens can reach from the floor 'or the dropping hoards.
