Maynard, associate animal husbandman for the Colorado Agricultural college experiment station in a new bulletin just issued on Potatoes . For Live Stock. , obbe of this bulletin may Copies tained free of charge by writing the extension service of the college. Subjects discussed in the booklet Include preparation for feeding, potato ensilage, potatoes and potato silage for sheep, potatoes for dairy cows, swine and horses. The bulletin is- - summarized as fol. . lows : Potatoes fed in live stock rations are generally comparable to good corn silage. Potatoes may be fed raw to cattle, sheep, horses and swine, but are best cooked for swine. Raw potatoes have only 2.3 the value of cooked potatoes fed to pigs. Raw potatoes proved to be as good as cooked potatoes fed to dairy cows. Raw potatoes may safely constitute one-hathe dry matter in rations for lf the cattle and sheep and : in matter horses. rations for dry Cooked dr raw potatoes should not rethe grain place more than allowance in fattening pigs. Raw potatoes fed to dairy cows at the rate of from 25 to 35 pounds daily have actually increased milk production, but larger amounts will taint the milk, cause a salvy butter and may cause indigestion and bloating. The dry matter in potatoes is composed largely of starch, a carbohydrate valuable in both fattening and operations. Potatoes are low in protein or material and some or roughage protein concentrate should be fed with them. Raw potatoes are best fed sliced through a root cutter. Frozen, rotted, or decayed potatoes may cause trouble if fed to live stock. Raw potatoes have an acrid taste and tend to increase the flow of digestive juices. They should not be fed with other feeds that tend to irritate the digestive system and they should always be fed with caution. one-fourt- h one-ha- lf milk-produci- . , There is nothing striking or novel about this home, but It should appeal to many of the more conservative home builders as one which will maintain its appearance through many years because of its lack of passing .faddish influence. By W. A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to practical home building, for the readers of tbiB paper. On account of his wide experience as editor, author and manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue. Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cestamp for reply. The delightful thing about building and owning your own home is that you can add to and improve it year after year, and every investment of money or of time and labor Is not lost, but becomes a real and growing Improvement for years to come. The new home looks bare and raw when the carpenters are finally through ; but to the eye of the owner this holds an Interesting invitation to set out shrubs and plants, to lay out a garden and establish a lawn. It cant all be done the first year, he knows; but a start can be made and a little can be done each season. And Modern Caution Strive hard and be honest. Put in a full day, But don't til you're sure It will show In your pay. An Altruist Desk Sergeant If the car wasnt worth anything, why are you so anxious to have the thief who stole it ' caught?

Your husband must be very enthusiastic. Hostess Yes, Its his enthusiasm that Is the trouble. Weve been forced to have two sets one for the family to listen in on, so that be may have the other to tinker with. MARIES LITTLE STUDY for feeder cattle and the prices obtained for them on the market are 'likely to determine the profit of the beef cattle feeder for the next few years, in the opinion of G. R. Arnold of the rural economics department of the Ohio State university. However, Arnold believes the beef cattle outlook is at present favorable for the man who produces feeder cattle. It is also favorable for the man who can purchase calves and carry them through a large portion of their growing period, and then feed them out, providing he has an abundance of cheap pasture. The market outlook for fat cattle does not appear favorable for the next three months, but may strengthen in the late summer, Arnold concludes after a study of figures on receipts of cattle thus far this year, and on the number of cattle now on farms in tills and other states. , . , Best Hog Pasture Marie modiste.

They Cry for Them Georgle, Porgie, pudding and pie, Kissed the girls and made 'em cry The time this happened Is far away, Some farmers are short of suitable land or believe that they cannot afford to use good crop land for hog pasture. Anyone who has efficiently used pasture and kept close check on the financial end of his business would testify that the average acre of farm land devoted to hog pasture will yield a return far in excess of that secured from erops of wheat, oats, corn,' or hay. Where failures have been noted in the use of pasture, the evident cause was that of.an attempt to make some rocky, barren, piece of land grow the crop. : Kisses dont make girls cry today.

These may be used for cornices, wall panels and other purposes. Heretofore decorative wood mouldings have been limited to large and expensive interiors. Hand carved mouldings and even plaster have been far too expensive for the small or medi. home. By means of these new mouldings, um-sized this authentic form of decoration is available for every room. Playing ,ab important part in beautifying Interiors, possessing strong decorative appeal, they are made of solid wood so will not chip or. crack. They reproduce faithfully the ornamental quality of mouldings and may be nsed for door heads, fireplaces and mantels in a single room or throughout a house. : hand-carve- d One Per Cent Monthly Fair Carrying Charge -- The financing of a home means far more than the mere matter of putting up a few hundred dollars to cover the bare equity. Among the tliing?.Vo be copsidered are : Saving the money, buying the land, planning the house, buying the material and budgeting for both the investment and the running expenses. Building a home, or even buying a home, ought not to be considered in a slipshod manner.

Well, hell find that the course of Facing poultry men during the summer is. the problem of preventing a ' rapid drop in egg production with the coming of warm weather, when eggs bring good prices. Standard egg production in New Jersey for June is 18 eggs per bird, .for July It is 16 eggs, and for August, 13 eggs. Whether or not a flock makes standard production during these three months depends entirely on the care it is given by the poultry man, announces the poultry department of the New Jersey agricultural experiment station. According to the station, successful poultry men agree that good summer egg production depends on attention to little details of management and not on one outstanding factor. Culling the flock, for example, is not the most important factor in obtaining standard production, but just one of the many factors. In fact, culling should be last in the effort to hold production. The laying house should receive attention first, as a means of holding egg production. All windows should be opened to provide good ventilation and to keep the house cool. Lice and mites are often the cause of the flock falling off in production. Careful inspection of the birds and coop should be made once a month for these parasites. It is considered a good practice to treat the flock for body lice by using sodium floride or any lice powder. Generally, one treatment Is sufficient for the entire summer. The roost, and nests should be painted with any coal tar product as a means of controlling the mites. When such cannot be obtained, a mixture of kerosene oil and old" crank case oil from the tractor or automobile can be used to advan; tage. Heavy consumption of mash, so important to heavy production, Is obtained In the summer by feeding only 8. or 10 pounds of grain to each 100 birds; keeping mash always before the birds ; and keeping the layers confined to the house where they will always be near the mash hoppers. Other factors found to be Important in feeding are : a daily supply of fresh green feed such as dandelions, lawn clippings, and weeds from the garden ; and a constant supply of fresh, clean, cool water. When production falls below 50 per cent, it is time to start culling, if the foregoing factors mentioned have been carefully followed. house his family for a number of years, the latter expects a quick turnover. ; Oliver Wendell Holmes has said that the training of a child should start one hundred years before he is bom. While we would not carry out this extreme statement, in connection with the financing of a home, it is very necessary , to, think of and work out far in advance the problem. It cannot be done in a hurry, and the greatest amount of deliberation should be exercised. Some of the simple ways of getting . at how much one ought to invest in a home may be worked out somewhat on the following lines: One should not invest In a home the total value of which is more than three times ones yearly income. Also, one should not plan to pay out more per month for carrying charges (which would be practically the same as rent in an apartment) than ones weekly income. In financing, as in other matters pertaining to th home, the owner-to-b- e should seek the advice of an expert, ' whose character is established beyond question. . Money and worry will be saved by so doing. home-ownin- g i Colored Tile Useful Inside House or Out Jn considering various features for the outside of the house, such as floors, steps, pergolas, seats, gate en- tries, and walks, as well as Interior walls, floors, etc., it is well to consider the versatility and durability of tile. One great factor of beauty is simplicity, and because tile possesses brilliancy of coloring it permits a simple and artistic furniture grouping. For outside as well as inside service these distinctive tiles, fashioned of clay and burned by an Intense heat to make them lasting and fireproof, are a material unfading and practical. - . Provide Natural Shade for All Young Poultry An ideal range will provide natural shade where the young birds may find protection from the hot summer sun. Many poultry flocks do not have this natural protection, say poultry specialists of the Pennsylvania State college, so some means of protection must be provided. Moving the colony houses near a cornfield makes ideal range conditions. Sunflowers planted around the colony house also will provide satisfactory shade. If the colony houses cannot be moved near a cornfield and sunflowers are not used, some form of artificial shade should be provided. Old feed bags placed on a frame about two or three feet above the ground will give the needed protection. . Always Make Fowls as Profitable as Possible There is a great temptation for the pouitryman who is ambitious to equal the records made by others. Naturally any one wants to make his hens as profitable as possible, and as the rule generally applied is to keep a hen only to the end of her first lay; ing year and then replace her with pullets, the effect of high egg production on the laying hens apparently is negligible as she Is sent to pot before any evil effects of force feeding can Interfere with her laying. Mistake With Geese common mistake made In raising geese is to try to feed them upon grains without sufficient grazing. If the geese have good green feed they will need , but little additional. Grit and oyster shell should always be accessible. During the summer a satisfactory method consists In providing one feed a day of equal parts of corn meal, bran and ground oats. During the winter the same grains are satisA factory, but steamed clover or alfalfa hay should be added. |
