MOLDY BEET TOPS FED FARM STOCK Used in Moderation Product Is Not Harmful. Many New Jersey poultrymen find that cockerels to be marketed as broilers can be pen fattened to advantage. Two weeks before they are marketed the broilers are confined to pens and fed a special fattening ration. The following ration has given good results In the state: One hundred 50 meal of corn ; pounds pounds of wheat middlings ; 50 pounds of ground heavy oats or ground oatmeal ; 30 pounds of meat scrap. This mash is mixed with water and fed to the broilers three times a day, all they will clean up In 15 to 20 minutes. When milk is available for mixing, the meat scrap should be omitted from the mash, advises the poultry department of the New Jersey If agricultural experiment station. semisolid buttermilk is used, dilute one part of it with three parts of water and then mix with mash. When powdered milk is used, substitute 30 pounds of it and omit the meat scrap. Water should be kept available for the birds. It is not advisable to market the broilers until they weigh two to two and a half pounds, says the poultry department. Moderate feeding of moldy beet tops to cattle and sheep is not hurmful, although excessive feeding may be dangerous, declare authorities at the Colorado agriculture college. For two years very moldy tops have been fed to calves in the college experiment station feed lots here without any indication of trouble, according to E. J. Maynard, associate animal husbandman. The calves have been eating 12 to 15 pounds each, daily, of the moldy tops in the composted piles, as similar lots of calves did last year, Mr. Maynard says. Molds themselves are not harmful but they tend to change the chemical reaction from acid to akaiine, this allowing bacteria of all kinds to develop, says I. E.

Tankage or some other protein supplement and minerals is essential if the hog feeder expects rapid gains - d Poultry Notes to be made by hogs when they are harvesting the corn In the field, according to F. L. Quaife of Iowa state college. The use of a good protein supplement will speed up gains and make them cost less per pound. A field of clover or alfalfa adjoining the corn which is to be hogged down, or soy beans or rape sown in the corn, makes an ideal combination for hogging down. 00000000XX000X Provide clean feed, clean quarters, clean ground, and start with clean chicks.

Frequent changes of pasture for Washed eggs have proved unsafe' for storage. Therefore nests, houses, and the place in front of the door should be kept clean and as dry as possible. - If the pullets are laying heavy and getting a little thin in flesh, they may need a little more grain: i Except for hogs, horses and mules, there was more live stock on the farms of this country on January 1 this year than at the same time a year ago.

S. .Rhode, University of Illinois. In one of the McLean county associheifer produced ations, a 500 pounds more fat than her mother at the same age. A checkup on the records showed that other daughters of her sire were showing from 375 to 500 pounds fat more than their dams. A bull that will transmit such high production is worth keeping and should Mr. be used as long as possible, Rhode said. Many such bulls have gone to slaughter before their worth became known. Luckily the McLean bull Is still alive and in active service. More farmers could well afford to follow this practice of keeping records in improvement associations. On the basis of such records the Inefficient cows may be culled, herd sires proved and feeding methods checked. d , 0 Dairy Facts oooooooooooooooooooooooooo Quality is being demanded In dairy products now more than ever before. .
