Hntered as second-clamatter Feb. S 1929, at the post office Randolnh. $1.50 ss Pays to Add Wheat to Ration of Pigs - , Investigation Proves Value of Such Feeding. 4 , . Evidence keeps piling' op as to the many ways in which wheat can replace other feed grains in rations. Wheat can be converted into pork more rapidly - than into any other meat, although it can be used in almost any ration, according to investigations at the Colorado Agri-- . cultural college. Wheat is equal to corn in feeding value, pound for pound, many experi-- ! ments have shown, while several experiment stations report that it is even more valuable than corn in the hog fattening ration. Shriveled and Shrunken wheat Is usually richer in protein than plump wheat, and if not too badly damaged, is fully as valuable for feed as sound wheat, it is stated. ; , Tankage should always be added to the wheat ration for maximum gains and economy of production, the report states. Wheat is somewhat richer in protein than corn, but it requires the addition of protein to balance the ration for pigs fed in the dryiot. Wheat should always be coarsely ground or rolled for swine. Experiments indicate that this type of preparation saves 15 to 20 per cent of its feed value. If ground too fine, wheat becomes a pasty, indigestible mass when fed. Soaking wheat may Increase its value slightly, but not enough to justify that practice." . , live-stoc-k Clean the Spray Rigs Before Winter Storage Idle spray rigs are deceiving. Most persons believe that such machines wear out In use, but Prof. M. F. Barrus of the New York State College of Agriculture says a winters storage, when the machine has not been cleaned, may do more damage than a seasons spraying. The easiest way to clean a spray rig Is to flush it with water and then fill the pump and pipe lines full of old crank case oil. A better way, Professor Barrus suggests, is to remove the plungers, valves, valve cages and the like; scrape and clean the parts with a wire brush. Remove all sediment from the Inside of the pump and apply a thick coating of cup grease to the surfaces. The parts should be put back in place so 'hey will not be lost during the winter, he warns. Cleaning Work Harness To overhaul and clean a harness It is best to take it apart and make such repairs as are found necessary. Allow the harness to soak thoroughly s in a washtub full of warm water containing a handful of sal soda. As each part Is removed, scrub it well with a stiff brush and lay It aside. A scrubbing board will facilitate cleaning. While the harness is still wet, apply harness oil with a sponge or a cloth. Rub the oil well into the harness. As the water dries out of the leather the harness oil will work in. As the parts are oiled, place them in a pile so that the surplus oil may drip from the top pieces to the lower pieces. Use harness soap or1 dressing to finish the process. three-fourth- Sugar Beets America consumes ever more and more of sugar per capita; in 1910-1- 1 she used 79.7 pounds per person; in 1929-3110.2 pounds. The country does not produce the bulk of this sugar. Its cost represents one of the heaviest drains from our national With rising consumption pocketbook. of the commodity pef capita, and with fewer horses to which to feed grains in the industrial and port regions, the question is, what lands in our national system of agriculture can be devoted to Sugar beets rather than cereals so that our country will support more American growers and fewer Cuban peons, working not for themselves but for the great sugar planters, to whom we also pay our heavy tribute?
