Show THE UINTAH BASIN FARMER VARIED EXHIBITS MADE ON FARM BUREAU DAY The most varied interesting and instructive exhibits were made in the various places of business houses in Vernal on Farm Bureau day. Jan. 11. The display of poultry and poulHardware company, was most instructive especially that of capons, which was compared with the roosters raised from the same hatching. It clearly demonstrated the value of the capon industry for the Uintah Basin and what it will do for the Basin try feeds at the Leslie Ashton poul-tryma- n. .4 The 12 pound cafpon compared with the 8 pound rooster shows about this difference. Dress capons 12 pounds at 30 cents, a conservative price, $3.60. Eight pounds dressed rooster at 10 cents per pound, a high price, 80 cents difference in value of cash return, $2.80. The cost to raise has been the same. The meat of the capon is tended and delicious, a real delicacy, while the meat of the rooster is coarse and unpalatable. Which shall the Uintah Basin raise? We are ideally located for the large breeds of chickens which produce the capons. There was also a fine exhibit of Barred Rocks and Silver Lace Wyan-dotte- s.

It Is a fact that no section is a successful producer of milk, butter and cheese until some of the clovers ot allied crops have become abundant. Cows will keep up their milk produce tlon during the winter when f legumes with a small grain ration. Half the amount of grain seems, to answer the purpose when the animals are changed from a cheaper roughage to the clover, alfalfa or soy bean hay. These homegrown feeds are a boon to the dairyman and every farmer with a few head of dairy cattle should plan to grow legumes to the fullest extent. Remember that the legumes also Increase soil fertility and they supply protein and mineral matter in larger percentage than any other form of roughage.
