Tankage Is cooked and dried refuse
from the slaughter nous, consisting
largely of lean meat scraps and hav
ing a high percentage of protein, says
National Stockman and Farmer. Its
use is to "balance the ration." When
animals bsve a balanced ration, con
talnlng a proper amount of feh form
Ing (proteiu) and fat forming (carbo
hydrate) elements they will not only
do better, but will better utilize all the
feed they have, which means more
economy In feeding. Tankage Is most
useful ss bog feed In balancing corn
and barley. The nsual advice Is to
give one part tankage to eight or ten
parts corn or cornmeal. Much de
pends on the age of tho pigs ana the
conditions under which they are fed.
As a source of protein, tankage Is
probably not surpassed by anytnlag
on the market with the possible excep
tion of dried blood. It Is an econoin
leal feed, because not a large amount
of It Is required to balance tho ration
and because the corn Is better utilized
when It Is fed. It gives a fine finish
to the animal, sleek hair aud s general
appearance of thrift and also prevents
troubles that arlso sometimes from too
much corn.

The biggest kind of a mistake Is
made when wheat land Is plowed early
and left untouched by harrow or any
other kind of a pulverizer. When
wheat ground Is plowed during August
It usually turns up cloddy, and it It is
left In this condition very long there
will not be left enough moisture to
start the wheat Tlowlng the ground
during a dry spell will Jtlll the weeds,
aud if the barrow follows close upon
the heels of the plow- not much mols
turo will be lost Borne prefer to wait
until Just at seeding time before they
put the hsrrows to work. You cannot
get a clean, fine seed bed by that meth
od. Keep the harrows going from the
time the ground Is plowed up to seed
ing time, and by all means barrow
thoroughly after every rain. This
method ot culture will be much easier
to drill in the seed shallow and evenly.

Th Farm Well.
The weak point as regards iealth
on many farms Is the water supply.
The neighborhood la not likely to be
crowded, but various matters which
defile the water are liable to be neg
lected. There Is no better time to
clean out the wells than before the
heavy fall rains begin. The bottom
of the well should be thoroughly
scraped and tho walls washed down.
The top and covering should he made
rat proof with cement Of ninety
samples of well water analyzed only
twenty-eight were pronounced thor
oughly wholesome, while twenty-one
were more or less Injurious, and thir
ty were condemned as wholly unfit for
