Show mr average farmer broadcasts STATION YOURS FOR BETTER LIVESTOCK mr average farmer at the mike ive been hearing lots of talk lately about the value of 0 wheat as a feed tor for livestock I 1 have tried tt it and find that it Is just as easy to teed feed as corn and makes just as a good a teed feed I 1 always grind it rather coarsely and teed feed it in about the same proportions and in about the same mixtures as corn it works out better for hogs than any other farm animal one year I 1 led fed my hogs coarsely ground wheat in one side of a self feeder and a mixture of equal amounts ot of and linseed meal in the other side they gained as rapidly as they usually do on cor corn n and were in just as fine condition when they were ready tor for market it if you have a good supply of 0 oats a lao a on hand it might be advisable to fee leed d some me of them to your hogs though they fire are better as a horse or cow teed feed A mixture of equal parts of ground corn ground oats and in one side of a self feeder and equal parts of linseed nice meal and in the other side me makes ke a pretty good ration and not such an expensive one when feeding a ration like either of those given above the feeder does not need to worry about whether the mixture Is well balanced tor for the hogs unlike other other larin farin animals balance their own rations when they have all the necessary ingredients some of the experiment stations have experimented with wheat and oats as teed feed they say bay that wheat Is worth from 10 to 20 per cent more than corn and that oats Is worth about 20 per cent less than corn as an all around feed STATION YOURS FOR BETTER liv LIVESTOCK STOCK signing off be with you again in a 86 week or two good bye station YOURS TOURS pon FOR BETTER LIVESTOCK mr average farmer doing the talking well the summer eummer Is just about over in fact it already has ended and Is the middle ot of the winter as far as I 1 am concerned when who I 1 measure out the teed feed for my milk cows I 1 am giving them the same ration that I 1 led fed last january and dont even turn them out in the pasture any more paying me big dividends on my investment too the milk production I 1 i Is holding up wonderfully and the test la Is as high as ever I 1 am keeping an accurate set of books and they show me that I 1 am making more money so BO tar far this month than I 1 did in june a help I 1 raised a pretty good alfalfa crop this year enough to last all winter I 1 think along with that and plenty of silage I 1 am feeding my cows a grain ration consisting of pounds of ground barley pounds of 0 ground oats pounds of linseed meal my cows cowa are holsteins so I 1 teed feed them one pound ot of grain a day tor for each four pounds of muk milk i farmers who have only timothy or pral I 1 1 tie hay should use pounds of linseed meal in the grain ration instead of because these hays are low in protein I 1 have three cows that are to freshen early in november and I 1 am drying them up this week because eight weeks ot of rest before calving will insure higher production and a better calf experience has taught me that well ill see eee you again soon STATION YOURS FOR BETTER LIVESTOCK signing off have you ever found yourself youra ett flustered because unexpected company arrived at a time when your larder was not as well stocked as you would like it to be an attractive little salad will go a long way toward making a common meal seem an elaborate one the colors of the fruits and vegetables tend to decorate the table while the crispness and deliciousness always appeal to the sense 0 ot f taste it Is not necessary to go to a great deal of trouble to serve a very satisfactory salad side dish any amy one of a score of 0 salads may be prepared in ten minutes for instance on two or tuce leaves you may place six orange sections and hall half a large pear cored and sliced lengthwise alternate orange sections and slice of pear garnish with five or six grapes peeled and seeded just before serving sprinkle with a combination ot of orange and lemon juice well sweetened or try this surprising combination two orange slices cut one halt half inch thick arrange sandwich fashion with a fine slice ol of bermuda onion in center garnish with sliced stuffed olives and serve the whole on crisp lettuce |
