Demanded.
" If we do not have another drought
this summer, the manufacture of dairy
products will Increase, and thus lower
the farmers' return." said II. A. Iloss,
of the Borden company, at Cornell uni
versity's furui and home week. “The
farmer has not heeded the trend In
the supply of cows and today Is fac
ing the situation of having 41.8 per
cent mors cows than In 1929.”
Doctor Boss predicts, however, no
material reduction In the number of
cows, and perhaps even a slight In
crease.
“I cannot blame the farmer
for not cutting his herd." he said,
“because of the overhead expenses and
the lowered cosi of feed. But the sit
uation today Is serious. Butte.' Is now
going Into storage rather than being
drawn from storage."
Many people seem to think thnt with
the present lowered prices, demand
will Increase. Doctor Boss Indicated,
however, that such might not be the
case. He estimates that the buying
power of the people Is about one half
of that In 1929. This Is due to both
the unemployment situation and de
creased wages of those who are work
ing.
In New York state the farmers are
facing the sltuutlon of store sales of
milk as contrasted with route sales. If
more milk Is sold In stores, the farmer
•will receive less for his Investment
He said that the haste situation could
not lie remedied now but that the
farmer could help by culling his herd
and aiding the control of store sales.
Ration That “Fills Bill”
in Variety of Proteins
8lnce some proteins are particularly
rich In some amino acids while others
may furnish more of some others, line
protein may supplement another. We
know thnt every feed a cow eats,
whether roughage or grain, contal. s
some protein and different proteins.
It has been shown thnt the protein
of alfalfu or legume hays supplements
ithosn of silage and grains. The pro
tein of the high protein feeds supple
ment those of the grains. There Is
little supplementary value between the
cereal grains.
From this an Iowa experiment con
cludes that where a cow Is getting a
ration consisting of plenty of legume
liay, silage, and a grain mixture of
10-12 per cent digestible protein, her
demand for protein variety Is fairly
well met. With mixed hay, the grain
mixture should contain from 14 to 16
per cent digestible protein, while with
non legume hay It should contain 10 to
20 per cent digestible protein.—Hoard's
Dairyman.
Why Milk Tests Vary
Milk tests vary from day to day due
to perfectly normal fnctors. slate spe-
lallsts at New York State college, who
have tested samples of Holstein and
Jersey milk to determine effects of
sampling on fat tests. S«me of the
factors are: Advancement of the lac
tation period of the cows, which means
more fat In the m ilk ; the nmount of
exercise the herd receives; complete
ness of milking; feeding practices; age
of the cows; the breed; individual dif
ference of the cows; the seasonal
changes with higher tests when the
temperatures are low and lower tests
when temperatures are high during the
heat of summer. In New York state
two testers working Independently will
check within 0.1 per cent In 60 per
cent of the samples they test. The
Babcock test Is not expected to give
greater accuracy than thia.
Methods of sampling have neen held
responsible for dally variations, and
the recent Investigation Indicate« the
reasons why tests may vary even
though all sampling la done uniformly.

Keeping Calves Healthy
D lriy feeding pnlla are often the
contributing cause of an outbreak of
common scours In calves. Avoid this
by scalding the palls after each feed
ing. Allow the sun to shine on them
during the day. Somo dairymen keep
a separate pall for each calf. Over
feeding Is another frequent cause of
scours. Feed around one pound of
milk for each ten pounds of live
weight, and during the first few dnye
give the calf several feeds per day.
The milk fed can be gradually In
creased with growth until the animal
is getting around two to two nnd one-
half gallons of skltn ntllk per day. Be
gin giving the calf some ground grnln
or other concentrate os soon ns It will
eat.— Wallace's Farmer.

Fertile eggs caused by keeping roos
ters In the flocks during the warm
summer months have been mainly re
sponsible for bad egg losses which In
1930 cost poultryincn of the atute an
estimated $5,000,090. In addition to
eliminating roosters. If farm flock own
ers would adopt a few practical and
simple practices, much of the poor
quality of Illinois eggs could t>e over
come and market demands for eggs
from this state Imp-oved.
Eggs should be gathered twice
dally or, better still, three times dally
In b it weather. Frequent gathering
helps prevent damage by heat or cold;
It saves cracking and breaking of
eggs and It reduces the proportion of
dirty eggs.
Before being cased, eggs should be
cooled, because egg cases, pads and
fillers hold In any heat that already
Is In the eggs. The cases of eggs
should be held In a cool place, a tem
perature of 32 to 60 degrees being
best. On most Xarms the cellar Is the
best place available. It Is satisfactory
for short storage periods If It la free
from strong odors and uot too damp.
Eggs will keep better and will be
easier to sell If they are kept clean,
Changing the floor litter and nesting
material before It Is too badly spoiled
helps to keep eggs clean. Dropping
hoards or, better still, wire-covered
dropping boards also help. Crowded
quarters are a common cause of dirty
eggs. There should be 8 H to 4 square
feet of floor space for each hen. A
shortage of nests also causes broken
and dirty eggs and may lead to the
hublts of egg eating and of laying
eggs on the floor. There should be
one nest for each five hens.
Feed Mixtures on Which
Chickens Will Thrive
A good uiash feed for chlcka, when
milk Is the only drink, is mixed as
follows: ISO pounds of ground yellow
corn, 100 pounds of wheat bran, 100
pounds of oat flour, 75 pounds of
wheat shorts or middlings and 50
pounds of high-grade meat scrap.
When the chicks do not have access
to green leafy feed, five pounds of al
falfa leaf meal should be added to
each 100 pounds of the mash, says the
Dakota Farmer. I f meat and hone
scrap are not used, three pounds of
bone meal should be Included to each
100 pounds of mash. One pound of
sifted table salt and one pint of high-
grade cod-liver oil per 100 pounds of
the mash should he mixed in. The
cod-llver oil should be mixed with the
bran first Chick size oyster shell, cal
cite or high grade limestone should
•Iso be kept available.

Goodyears are best. The public
says so—the public buys so! More
people ride on Goodyear Tires
than on any other kind — and
have for 17 years.
And as to Goodyear prices—
they’re as low as you’ll pay even
for an unknown or second-rate
tire.
In a year when everyone’s care
ful w ith m oney, don’t take
chances on tires.
You can get the best tires that
ever came from the world’s larg
est rubber factory—if you stick
to this simple question:
Mash and Milk
Mixing a part of the dry mash with
milk until It Is moistened to a crum
bly state greatly Increases the p a y a
bility of the poultry ration. Experi
ments at Ohio State university with
chickens of the same breed kept under
exactly the same conditions and fed
the same rations, with the exception
thnt a part of the ration was fed wet
In one case and In the other case all
o f tue ration was dry, showed an In
crease In production during the year
of 24 eggs per bird.— Prairie Farmer.
Feather Picking
The taste of blood upon freshly-
plucked quills Is probnbly what keeps
fowls picking at each other after
something has started them. Letting
them get away from each other by
turning the flock out of doors Is the
most certain method of stopping the
practice. T a r may be daubed upon
nny bleeding point about the comb or
head to discourage the attackers.
Bleeding follows any Injury that
breaks the skin, It mny be from ac
eldent or attacks.— Rural New Yorker

Successful Pullet Raising
Eighty March pullets laid 1,150 eggs
In SO days fom October 18 to Novem
ber 16 for Anna Corrigan, Dakota
county. Minnesota.
During that iwrlod she fed 300
pounds of commercial egg mash.
Scratch feed was composed of two
bushels barley and one and a quarter
bushels wheat W ith alfalfa leaves,
oyster shells and three pints of cod-
llver oil, feed cost $9.94 and Income
was $31.68, an average of 33 cents a
dozen, or 3 cents above market price.
This left a net return of $21.74 or
27 cents a p u llet—Capper's Farmer.
