Fed to Live Stock, It Also Provides Iodine in Milk. Localise (lie mIo is an investment ami not an expense, the good dairy fanner usually lias one or more according to the size of ids herd. "Silos are growing in popularity, Says A. T llolnmn, agricultural engineer at the North Carolina State "Hundreds of modern silos college. were constructed in 1028 and a greater number will be built this year. We observe that farmers show a marked tendency to have a better Silo ban formerly, built from good materials and of the proper size. It permits the production of more milk at less expense, and ns It lowers cost of production, it automatically Increases profits and the labor income. The silo is the cows fruit jar where rrreen feed is stored and cured until America's first "human lioop" champion is Miss Betty Ellis of Los Angeles, who was victorious in the first American aero-wherace, held at Carthay Circle, a suburb of the California city. Inasmuch as the contestants were all of tlie type which has helped to make southern California famous, cordons of polihe were called Into service to hold hack tlie cheering crowds. This photograph shows the lineup of the pretty human hoop rollers before the start of the race. Fighting Mediterranean Fruit Fly in Florida needed. uiu-- Silage must not lie considered a substitute for grain, but is a supplement to it. Cows require both grain and silage or grrjn and pasture for. the profitable production of milk. When winter comes and there is no pasture, the silo proves its value, but the silage is better than pasturage in that It contains the corn grains in addition to the succulent leaves and stalks. Silage also appeals to the cow's taste. A number of crops may lie canned In the silo though corn is still the most popular. The size of the silo depends on the size of the herd, the rate of feeding and the length of the feeding period. The average feeding rate for the dairy cow is about 30 pounds per day, so when feeding ten to fifteen cows, the diameter should be 10 feet ; 15 to 25 cows, 12 feet ; 25 to 35 cows, 14 feet, and for 35 to 40 cows the diameter should be 16 feet. The height will be calculated by dividing the number of days in the feeding period by six when feeding off two inches of silage per day. If three inches are fed off, as should be the case in hot weather, the days of tlie feeding period should be divided by four and this) will give the height needed when the proper diameter has been determined. It is bettor to have two silos than one extra large one, Florida is trying desperately to save Its citrus groves from the dreaded Mediterranean fruit fly that has Invaded the state, and the federal government Is helping In the fight.

Good Market Seen for Right Kind of Colts One Common Mistake in Feeding Dairy Calves Tlie most common mistake in feeding dairy calves from tlie bucket is feeding then: too much. The amount that a calf should really have, divide over three feeds, seems so ridiculously small that most of us feel stingy about it and are tempted to add n little more. To avoid being generous at tlie calves' expense it is well to actually weigh tlie milk for each calf and stick to tlie rule. Many rules have been given, all emphasizing tlie danger of overfeeding, but os good a rule as any is one pound of milk to each ten pounds live weight. A fifty pound calf, therefore, would get only five pounds of milk daily, or two quarts, fed twice daily this would be Just a quart of milk at a feed. In some stables this rule is observed so closely that the calf is weighed every month to check up on the amount of milk that should be fed. At no time should a calf get more than 16 pounds of milk daily.

Submarine STARTING EARLY Saved in 23 Minutes Cow Deserves Careful Attention to Her Feet When a cow's toe nails. If we may call them such, become too long it makes tlie animal walk and stand awkwardly, and oftentimes makes a fairly good animal look worse than she really is. A sharp chisel Is bandy in removing the excess growth and the hoof can then be shaped with a rasp. It is very surprising how much a cow will let you do to her feet If you are quiet and careful In tlie way you go about it. You will he more than pleased with tlie result of your labor when you see how much better she handles herself after a good job of manicuring. A balanced cow ration is n combination of feeds so blended as to provide the required amount of protein in proportion to the other elements, mainly carbohydrates. The protein is the most difficult to secure. Tlie home-growfeeds do not provide this In sufficient amounts. In other words, in order to give a cow enough protein to make 30 pounds of milk she would have to use enough corn nnd mts to throw her digestive system out of order. n For about tlie first time In 15 years ibe horse dealer Is in his now, says W. II. Peters, glory chief of tlie division of animat husbandry of tlie University of Minnesota. This yenr tlie demand for horses lias been such that most any old kind of a horse could he sold for some kind of a price ami any good horse could he sold for a good price. "The time lias finally arrived, says Professor Peters, when all that farmers need to do to Insure a good profit-aid- e horse market for several years to come is to go ahead and raise colts provided they have good big mares to mate to good big stallions. The need for horses is so great, however, that many farmers are likely to decide to begin raising colts from whnfever mares they have, the common, inferior ones as well as the good, big ones. This will be the quickest and surest way of creating an over supply of Inferior horses In a few years and destroying what would become a permanent profitable market for horses if every farmer would resolve to raise only good, useful colts." old-tim- e yif Balanced Cow Ration Perlmps there is nothing new under the sun, but the new uses often found for old tilings are amazing enough to keep ns interested In life. For instance, seaweed. When the hogs owned by J. M. Ballard, of Indiana, won tlie grand championship at the last International Livestock show in Chicago, most of the farmers who inquired about their diet were amazed to find that they were seabeing fed kelp, a rough brown-lea- f weed that grows in profusion off both American coasts. Prof. Oscar Erf, of the Ohio State university, was tlie first to experiment with kelp as live stock feed, IBs success prompted experiments at Purdue university, ami later ones at the Iowa nnd Utah agricultural experiment stations. It was found that tlie weed contained at least 30 important chemical elements and was especially rich In iodine, in which several regions of tlie country are deficient, says the Farm Journal. Mixed in a very small proportion with other feed it proved to have decidedly valuable medicinal qualities. Not only 1ms this addition to animal diet helped tlie animals, it also is providing a means of supplying iodine to the human population. "It lias been definitely proved that liy using kelp in a cow's ration Iodine an be fed into the milk. Chicago physicians are recommending this iodized milk to their patients," say tlie Farm Journal article, adding that similar experiments with eggs are proving successful. Strangely enough, kelp has been used for many years in the making of Iodine Itself, although It never occurred to anyone that its health-givinproperties could be transmitted directly to human and animal uses. That is, it had never occurred to anyone In the Cnited States until recently. Over In JaiKin, wise little Orientals have been eating seaweed for ages, and Occidental visitors generally have regard ed it as a primitive habit.

The first feed given after farrowing should lie limited in amount nnd fed as a thin slop. The amount fed is Increased gradually as tlie pigs need more milk, until in 10 or 15 days tlie sow is being fed all she will ent. The brood sows ration during tlie suckling period should be slightly laxative nnd provide for increased milk production to meet the needs of the pigs. - Mfr'- - Equipped with pontoons, tlie Goodyear blimp Volunteer made a aeries of successful sea landings in the vicinity of Los Angeles harbor.
