GREGORY, Agricultural Dtijon, Iowa State Collcjt CoDvrifht. 1909. by Amrru-an Pi-cm Anocistion ndvsnttiKe it Is necessary (lit they should be of Hie proper kinds and fed In the proper n mounts. One of the lmriiiiit Ihinp t Like Into account In determining itie value of n feeding stuff is Its digestibility. Pome feeds, sm-li as ot straw, rnv unt more than 30 per cent digestible, while In the case of the corn sraiii over ' per cent Is used by the animal. Feeds wilh n high oivcntage of digestibility, like the grains, are called concentrates, while those with a large amount of In digestible crude fiber are called rough feeds. Every animal must have a certain amount of roughage; otherwise the grain would lie In the stomach In a heavy, sodden mass, which could hard ly be penetrated by the digestive Juices, and Indigestion would be sure to result. The crude fiber, while In digestible In Itself, dilutes the mere concentrated feeds and greatly hastens the process of digestion. The rumi nants are able to obtain a large share of their feed from roughage. Ilorses use considerable, though owing to their smaller stomach they cannot use as large quantities as cattle do. Swine are usually rogarded as grain eating animals, yt they, too, do better for having some roughage. Mature hogs will maintain themselves on a good rape or clover pasture without any grain at all. and fattening swine will make greater gain If fed on pasture. N order that the feeds fed to ttock may be used to the best possible I ration may N nor how rapid gains It will produce. If those gains are put on at too great an expense the feeding f M-U1 ,.x.-t,U I,, ..

I'ran produces a large milk j flow when fed to cows, but silage and i clover hay are just as good and cost only a fraction as much. I The question of how much a farmer can afford to sjvml for concentrated byproducts is always a perplexing one. Something is needed to balance the corn, which Is the principal feed en most farms. If nothing else Is foil with com it will not be thoroughly dleested and much of the nutriment which It contains will be wasted. When corn Is cheap this does not mat ter so much, but when the price goes up to 50 or 00 cents a bushel It be comes an Important consideration. This applies not only to corn, but to other grains as well, since all contain an eieess of carbohydrates and fat Oats come the nearest to being a bal anced ration of any farm grain, but they are usually too expensive to be fed exclusively. Mixing oats with corn does not make a balanced ration, stnee the oats have scarcely enough protein to balance their own carbohydrates and fats. Another factor which must be taken Into consideration Is the health of the animals. This will surely suffer if they are compelled to live long on a single kind of feed, especial ly one that Is as low In protein as corn Is. When grain Is high In price the sav ing effected by the purchase of some supplementary feed rich In protein will usually much more than pay the cost In buying feed to balance corn or other grain the chief consideration should be the amount of digestible protein which It contains. Ash Is also Important, especially If It la to be fed with corn, "which Is low in ash. By dividing the price per ton of a feed by the number of pounds of digestible protein In a ton the price per pound of protein Is easily determined. Thus the comparative cost of protein In the different byproducts can be figured i out and the one used which will fur nish It In the cheapest form. For hogs there Is probably no better or cheaper source of protein than tank age or meat meal. A ration of one part of this to ten parts of corn Is an Ideal one for fattening hogs. For growing pigs the amount of tankage should be doubled and some sklmmilk added If It can be obtained. Milk Is an almost perfect food for all young stock, and the farmer who has a large supply of It has a big part of his feed ing problem solved. Another feed that Is Invaluable for young pigs and calves Is dried blood or blood flonr. Nothing else will stop scours so quickly nor do so much to ward starting along an unthrifty pig or cair. a neaping teospoourul to a IIO. XX VI I TTTEBIt IS NO POOP BKTTKK THAN MILK rOK YOC.NO JLS1JULS. In winter, when pasture is not avuiia , ble, hogs will eat considerable amounts of clover or alfalfa hay If they can get It and will be healthier and make better gains for having It Another Important quality In a feed stuff is Its palatablllty. Stock will make greater gains on feeds that they like, even though tbey contain no more nutritive material than those that are not so palatable. Closely re lated to palatablllty Is succulence or Juclness. Cows give a large flow of milk on pasture not so much because of its high feeding value, but because of Its succulence and palatability. Stock of nny kind will not make the best use of their feed If given noth ing but dry bay and grain. The most satisfactory means of pro- . , . " ' h . K Tiding succulent and palatable feed proportionate amoums for , IT l"c ?r U1 l. The reason that these Backing house byproducts are especially valuable for young animals Is because of the large amount of ash which they contain. The use of such feeds Insures strong bones and healthy, vigorous anlmnls. silo. Silage has a high feeding value and is cheap, since from eight to twelve tons can be raised on an acre. It finds its greatest use as a feed for dairy cows, but also makes a profita ble addition to the ration of nearly all classes of stock. The most important point to consid er in preparing a ration Is the rela tive proportion of the different con stituents. Fata and carbohydrates are Interchangeable and can be con sidered together, since they bqtb go to furnish heat and energy or to build up animal fat. Neither of these sub stances, however, can take the place of protein, since neither of them con tains nitrogen. To build up the mus cles, organs and other parts of the body which require this element con siderable protein must be fed. The ordinary feeds found on the farm contain too little protein In proportion to the other substances. To secure the best results a balanced ration that is. one In which the amount of protein Is in the proper proportion to the amounts of fats and carbohy dratesmust be fed. It can readily be seen that what Is a balanced ration for one class of stock may not be for another. Young calves, colts and fig'' require more protein and ash In their food than do mature animals. A work hone needs large amounts of fat and carbohydrates to supply him with eiKr-.-v. but he also FRIBBLES OF FASHION. Girls Arc Making Hti, Belts. Purtct and Bags of Raffia.

I Ordinary Gas Pip Said to B 8tt For! This Purpoi. j I'ow of lis can Ignore the dictates ot fashion. We wear n certain kind ot clothes because It Is the fashion to do so.

I'.vcn In handling farm animals we cannot Always have our own way, but imisi conform to certain; decrees of fashion. The subject Is brought up nt this time by a farmer w ho finds himself In possession of a bull having very tin-; ftislilonahle horns, says the Homestead. Ills desire Is to have the horns curve nicely toward the front and downward., but instead of this the points of the horns are getting farther away from the bead every dav He asks about the aibvlsiibllltv of using "horn train I ers" or nny other device lo bring these Into the desirable shape, lie calls at i trillion to the fact tli.it one Instance I came under his notice where a horn jtrahier resulted III destroying (he ends j of both horns, making the last stage 'of the animal worse than the first. We slmll take It for granted that the animal In question Is either a Short horn or a Hereford, though this mat ter Is not stated In our opinion no device yet Invented will take the place of "weight" applied alike to each liora We have tried the brass caps that are ordinarily found on the market, but have never been able to obtain raps of siitllclent weight to bring about the desired results. One of the best nnd simplest plans that we have ever tried Involves the use of n piece of ordinary gas pipe or. what Is still liottor, the use of two "unions." union is noth ing more or less than the Joint used for connecting two pipes of.differeul sizes The diameter of one side of the union ' I may be three Inches and the other side two Inches. This lessening of sl.e ! makes It fit the shape of the horn i snugly. Of course In case of a large animal It may ho necessary to use a union i t four Inches in diameter t one end and three inches at the other, but III the j case of a young nultnal the first sire ! mentioned Is generally large enough. ' Place one ou each horn and then wire securely from oue to the other. So j much the lietter If they go ou to the ; horn so that two or three Inches of the ' tip project beyond the end of the un i Ion, because when the weight Is ap I piled in (hat way the effect will he to ! bend the horu at the base rather than I to give the end an undesirable tilt I downward. In addition lo applying the weight In this way It Is a very ' good thing lo -weaken the horn at the : lower side of the base by a little tiling or cutting. I The Instructions given nbove only ; apply In cases where It Is the Intention ! to give the horn a downward curve with an Inward tendency, the weight ; applied In this case tending to tiring the horn down, and the w irlng will re I suit In gradually training the horns ' closer together ul the point. When It comes to the matter of giving ttie horns an upward curve, m Is desired In the case of Jersey cattle.

A lack of ash l.s the chief fault that can be found with the corn byprod ucts, sui-b as germ oil meal and gluten feed. For this reason these feeds are not so valuable for milk cows and young- stock, although they are all right for fattening animals. Oil and cottonseed meals contain more ash than the corn ppslucts, but not so much as tankage. They are usually a cheap source of protein. Oilmen! is especially valuable for keeping the systeiii In tone, the bow-els loose and the coat sleek and glossy. Cottonseed meal should never bv fed to hogs, as to needs considerable protein his muscles, which wear out very rapidly. A fattening- steer needs only a minimum amount of protein. Kince he Is neither growing nor lining his muscles. A milk cow needs a great deal of protein and ash to use In mak ing milk, together with a liberal amount of the other constituents, to supply energy ami to make into but ter fat. A pregnant atiltn::! Is In espe. did need o? protein and a-di to use In building up t'iff bones. and flesh of ps offspring Ail animals need larger quantities of the heat forming ele ments In the winter In order to keep the body warm. Another Important point, one that must not be lost sight of In preparing rations for any class of stock, is the cost. It makes no difference how di gestible, palatable or well balanced a repair 1 ,ne? often die from eating It. There Is nothing better than clover pasture to balance the ration of fat tening swine, ("lover pasture, with perhaps a small allowance of grain. Is an Ideal feed for milk cows, calves and colts. The little pigs will learn to eat it also, hut will need considerable grain and sklmmilk In addition If they are to make rapid gains. Clover hay and corn Is a ration for fattening cattle nnd sheep that cannot be beat en. Clover hay and silage with a lit tle corn and ollmeal added Is a first class winter feed for dairy cattle. Even for horses clover hay, If not flusty, Is the best of roughage. Its liberal use for all classes of stock will reduce the cost of feeding and add to the profits.
