This of beer making has long been recognized by dairy farmers as an excellent source of fats and especially protein. But prac-tically all dairymen who include either wet or dry brewers grains in their cows' diet, consider it as just a supplementary part of the feed, forming not more than one-thir- d of the total. Not so Ernest Frltts of Great Meadows, N.J., who for the past 10 years has been using wet brew-ers grains as the major item of feed. Mr. Frltts and his two sons Joint-ly operate two farms of 300 acres, of which 160 are tillable, in a small town about two hours drive from Newark. His commercial herd of 60 head is mixed Jerseys, Hoi-stein- s, Ayrshlres and Guernseys. Has his unorthodox feeding pro-gram paid off? Mr. Fritts and his sons are enthu-siastic on the point. "Any farmer will tell you that when the butterfat In your milk averages 4.1 per cent as ours does, that you are giving your cows the right feed," says Mr. Frltts. "Our 60 head average between 25 and 30 cans a day, depending on how many 'A faWiY ill tXw&ti Mixing brewer grains with molasses and water makes the feed more palatable to dairy cows. Above Lee Fritts (front) and his father sweep the grain Into the feed trough. dry cows are on hand, a good figure for a mixed herd. In fact, our red cows produce as much as the Holstelns and we are certain It is because of the brewers grains. "This part of New Jersey is in an area where milk prices fluc-tuate badly. Our problem is to get maximum production and we think that brewers grains is the answer." High in Protein Brewers grains are recoverable from the brewing process in a ratio of about one pound for every three originally used. Total production last year, of which the greatest part was used for feed, amounted to nearly 8Vi million pounds. This according to author-ities, contains about twice as much protein as the original barley and Is also high in available nitrogen. The usual procedure In dairy feeding is to give cows plenty of roughage. Mr. Frltts and his sons differ on this too. The brewers grains on their farm constitute maximum teed; hay is minimum. For example, daily roughage allot-ment for their 60 cows is four Holl-and bales of alfalfa-brom- e, a good legume which they grow them-selves. There are no set rules for feed-ing the cows on the Fritts' farm. Each cow Is given a heaping bushel of brewers grains at the 4 a.m. and 1 p.m. feeding. They are milked at about 4:15 a.m. and at 3:45 p.m. At the time of the afternoon feed-ing they are given a hay ration. "We sometimes hear that it Is not good policy to milk cows while they are eating," says Mr. Fritts. "However there Is nothing in our experience to show that It cuts milk produc-tion. Also we have been told that milk from a cow which has bad a brewers grain ration, is apt to "taste." That certainly never happened to us'. "Another advantage of our brew-ery grain diet," says Mr. Fritts, "is its economy. We find it much cheaper than other grains. Right now we have two silos, a 14 x 40 and a 16 x 40 full of corn silage. We have another 25 tons of corn ears on hand plus that much more in the fields. We're going to cash crop it rather than give it to the cows." Adds Molasses to Grain In order to make brewers grains more palatable, Mr. Fritts adds salt and molasses. Only last Octo-ber a 600 lb. barrel of molasses cost them seven dollars; now the price has jumped to $23 a barrel. So to save money they dilute the molasses with water and can get by with two barrels a week; last fall they used a barrel a day, un-diluted. But the cows' production has remained high as ever. Their cows are kept In stalls all year around and are never out of yoke, except for breeding purposes. Mr. Frltts says that most of his breeding cows have given good milk production for six to seven years. And his cows remain good milkers for an average of two years and better. Mr. Fritts also feels that another advantage of brewers grains as a feed is the excellent prices he gets for his cows after they are through as milkers. The cows which are ready for slaughter average 1300-150- 0 lbs. On the Fritts farm the brewers era ins used are the wpt varletv. sms 'mMmmmr---- wpy mh Twice a week the farm truck is driven to Newark, 60 miles away, to pick up a load of ten tons. At the farm the grains are stored in a bin or "well." Although the load is practically dry when it is dumped at the farm, a drainage pump at the bottom of the well draws off excess water. The Frltts have tried a number of other feeding experiments, among them hormone feeding. The new experiment, however, did not prove satisfactory and it was dropped. The Fritts found it too expensive and felt that it overstimulated their cows. Until some new dairy feed-ing method is perfected they will continue to use tiu.lr old standby-brew- ers wet grains. Brewers wet grains keep well in a tightly enclosed bin or tore room. Unique feature of the store room on the Frltts farm is the pump (left hand corner) which constantly draws off excess water.

What rdrmer member .rV. 35TV7 M?DAr Was 1 CocWs Popular There are more registered Cock-er spaniels In this country than any other breed. In the case of the Cocker, reasons for this popularity are not difficult to find. Lovable and friendly, they are perhaps the best pets and companions one can find in all dogdom. As a child's pet, the Cocker outranks all other dogs. It Is disturbing to most hunt-ers that the Cocker, formerly a good hunting animal, has been al-lowed to degenerate Into a lap-do- There are plenty hunting-strai- n Cockers and the gunner who finds one is fortunate, indeed. Too fre-quently, the Cocker will be found lacking the nose and bird-sens- e that must go Into the making of a good hunting dog but If one finds a specimen of the real hunting-strai- n Cocker, he will have a jewel in the field. This Is true because this strain is wide-awak- e, smart; short and stocky and yet possessed of suffi-cient strength to retrieve even a Canada goose. The dog's desire to please Its master is another of the oHmntrnkla llnUe tirVltpVl TYlfllfA It SO universally loved. However, the Cocker is a sensitive little fellow and must be handled accordingly. The Cockers stand at the bot-tom on the size list of hunting dogs, seldom exceeding 28 pounds in weight. He hunts his game with a zest that is a joy to behold, and hunts carefully throug all manner of cover. He keeps his nose close to the ground and he really uses it! While he covers a lot of ground in a hurry, he is a natural at quartering back and forth in front of a gun, so that he rarely flushes birds out of range of the gun. The Cocker, like most spaniels, flushes his birds rather than point them, and the speed of his wagging tail is an unfailing signa-- of how close he is to the birds. Just before he flushes the birds, his tail is moving so fast that it is virtually- - a blur. Watch that sign, and you'll seldom be flustered when the busy little dog sends the covey or single boom ing Into the air. AAA Word for Cais Scientists in Missouri have taken a perfunctory swipe of the polish-ing cloth at the tarnished halo of the house cat in announcing the results of an analysis of 41 stomachs, mostly from highway-kille- d cats, according to the Wild-life Management Institute. To those who believe that the feral house cat survives solely on young game and songbirds, the re-sults of this study will come as a surprise. In per cent of volume, the aggregate last meal of these de-ceased pussies was comprised of 38.1 per cent mice, 25.6 per cent rabbit, 9 per cent cotton rat, 6.9 per cent table scraps, 2.7 per cent terra-pin, 2.4 per cent rat, 2.4 per cent pig, 1.9 per cent grasshopper, 1.8 per cent unidentified meat, and 1.5 per cent chicken. No songbirds were found and, of course, some of the material, par-ticularly the pig, was carrion. AU of the quail, parts of three birds, came from a single cat shot in the act of stalking young quail. Rats and mice made up 49.5 per cent of the total diet. Korschgen (conductor of the study) said that this is not enough evidence to form the basis of policy on, house cats but that the high percentage of rodents and ab-sence of songbirds give food for thought. Mice compete heavily with quail for food and rats are seriour quail predators. AAA Lean Days Here Now are really the lean days for wildlife. February and March still can produce the kind of blizzardy, chill-ing weather that takes heavy toll among bird and animal life. It is now that natural food is scarcest ana the denizens of the woods are hard-presse- d to get enough to live on. Sportsmen and conservationists can aid wildlife and give Mother Nature a mighty big hand by pro-viding feeding stations where na tural foodstuffs have disappeared, or where ice or snow covers vege-tation. Once feeding stations are estab-lished, however, it should be re-membered that they should be filled regularly. This should be done be-cause many wildlife species will keep returning to the same spot, once they have been accustomed to feeding there. AAA Vaterfowl Longevity According to the U.S. fish and wildlife service, waterfowl live much longer than upland game birds. In captivity, the service reports. European geese and swans have lived 70 or 80 years, and ducks from 15 to 40 years. Wild ducks, geese and swans do not live so long, but wild, banded ducks have been reported as old as 18 years, and geese and swans at least 20. TOPS SO TENDER! socRfSPisorasry!

SPORT LIGHT , I Ex-Cham-ps Criticize Present Crop I By GRANTLAND RICE ' THE FAR-AWA- PAST moves up today in laying down a heavy barrage on the boxing game of 1950 and 1951. Jack Dempsey, among others, has been outspoken in criticism. There is another old-tim- out here at Burbank who was a pretty fair heavyweight in his J! V A""',f day and time. He is yA now 76 years old f?jjfa.Jk '? and he has already tTi beaten one tough f&j rap from being I' --J f paralyzed. His p& name Is James J. rVk'H Jeffries, and he won YQH I the heavyweight jlk J championship from iimnA g 0 D Fltzsimmons Grantland Rice just 52 years ago. Jeff picked up this crown in his 11th professional fight, an astonishing performance . when you figure the deep value of experience in boxing. But Jim Jeffries was probably the finest athlete that ever won and held the title. He was over 6 feet tall and he welgbed around 212 pounds at his best fighting weight. But he) could run the 100 In 10 seconds and he could high Jump ciose to 8 feet. There are many who still think that the Jeffries of 1903 was the greatest heavyweight of them all. His unfortunate return to the ring-f- at, partly bald and out of condi-tion, removed part of his earlier greatness, just as Joe Louis is slow-ly shucking off his earlier fame by his later performances. Left There are still more champions left than For one thing boxers get started in their 20's. Presidents are usually 50 or 60. It takes longer to make a President than it does a champion. The list today from shows Jim Jeffries, Tommy Burns, Jess Willard, Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney, Jack Sharkey, Max Schmel-in- g, Primo Camera, Max Baer, Jim Braddock and Joe Louis. This makes a total of 11 sur-vivors. Since the reign of John Lawrence Sullivan which lasted until 1892, only Jim Cor belt, Bob Fltzsimmons and Jack Johnson have passed from this hectlo earthy show. All togeth-er, Including John L. Sullivan, there have been 16 heavyweight champions of the world. Ezzard Charles is the last on the list. Who is the best of the lot? Sup-pose we arrange them in order Jack Dempsey must be set on top as the best offensive fighter of them all. Jack Johnson heads the list as the greatest defensive ringman. Jim Corbett was all odds the best boxer. Gene Tunney was the best trained. Jeffries and Dempsey were the hardest to hurt. Both Fitzsimmons and Louis were a strong mixture of good box-ing and hard hitting. Jim Braddock rated high in the matter of ring ftrtlirO CTA Vnil HOn'4 ea inn vw.tnU Jeffries, like Dempsey, can't see the present crop of fighters. "They are not willing to train or learn," he said. "They don't know what hard work means I mean such things as five or ten miles on the road every day, long before a fight. Jim Corbett trained and worked over eight hours a day, before he fought me at Coney Island. Few of these fellows today get In the shape needed to make a fighter." I saw Jeffries work out around 1903. At that time there was no other fighter in the world close enough to make a contest. He was big, fast, strong a high class boxes and a hard puncher. But above all you couldn't stop him 'with an ax. He was far improved over bis showing with Sharkey and his first fight with Corbett. Gentle-man Jim told me years ago in their second meeting that Jef-fries was the better boxer. The old fellow still has Jeffries Barn with Its amateur fights, its wrestling and its training center at Burbank. But it's a far call to his Fitzsimmons fight In 1899. A trifle better than half a century. And that's a long time In the fight game. Ask any fighter. about the others. Max Baer could have been a great champion if be had liked his game. Max didn't. These sixteen champions form a strange human medley. e The Lemon Grove Baseball's best pitcher over the last three years is now working his system into shape swinging at a golf ball and traveling many miles a day over various Los Angeles courses. You may recall the fact that Lemon is baseball's only big league pitcher able to win 20 or more games the last three seasons. Lemon blew himself to 23 games last season but with any luck be might easily have reached 30. In addition to being a star pitch-er Lemon is also one of baseball's better long-distan- hitters. He could also be one of baseball's bet-ter outfielders. "Ted Williams tells me you are the toughest pitcher he has to face," a golfer said to Lemon recently. "That goes for me, too," Joe Di Maggio said. It might be added here that Joe Di Maggio agrees with Lemon about golf as a training game. "A ballplayer needs his legs as much as he needs anything else," Di Maggio said.
