Good soil management involves
no magic or niysl/ry. It simply
means playing fair with the sod bi

nutrients used up by constant crop
production. Organic matter can be
restored by growing deeprooteu
legumes such as alfalfa or sweet
clover in the rotation and plowing
them under for green manure.
When tile soil is restocked with
organic matter and plant food you
will get higher yields and you will

Selection of Feeds
Vital in Stock Health
Ration Must Be Adequato
In Minerals, Vitamins
Uh.it you feed your livestock to-
day wilt determine the protH you
make tomorrow, for experts are
agreed that keeping livestock
healthy is a preamble job and to
do that, care must be observed In
choosing livestock feed.
Feeding livestock on a rclon de-
ncient in minerals, vitamin«, pro
tein» and carbohydrates, a» well as
fats, often lead» to nutritional dis
eases. Lack of nny of the common
or trace minerals in home grown
feeds may be and often in. respon
sible for terrine livestock, feed, la
bor and investment losses.
The problem of supplying miner
als in their right proportions Is only
a part of the compounding of a
product that will solve the livestock
man's problems. First, no matter
how good die ingredients that go
into the making up ot a feed, it
livestock refuse to eat it the feed is
useless so far as benefiting the
animal is concerned.
In recent years much has been
discovered about livestock diseases
due to dietary influences. In this
connection, the U. S. department of
agriculture aays: "Whenever n
vital function , , . is interrupted
owing to continued failure of the
diet to supply aamclant quantities
of essential nutrients, or to the in
ability of the body to utilise these
nutrients, the so-called nutritional
diseases develop."
