Cattle Make Gain
on Good Roughage

Well-Balanced Diet Found

California Condors.
Also Benefit.
ANTA MONICA, CALIF —
Local naturalists are all
S
agog over the discovery
that the California condor is
coming back in numbers to his
former haunts just up country
from here. In fact, they are
going out of one violent gog
right into another. Because the
condor, the mightiest winged
creature in all North America,
was supposed to be practically
extinct, along with such van-
ished species of native wild life
as the great auk, the passenger
pigeon and the lightning rod
agent.
So now we have set up a new
mark for envious Florida to shoot
at. For while they
may have croupiers

a day passes but we
- - read in the paper of an ac
count of individual heroism, of sac-
riflce, of devotion to duty—some
thing which renews our faith in hu
man beings and makes us realize
that scattered through the world are
splendid souls of whom we never
heard before and probably shall
never hear again. When the emer
gency came he rose to it—and that’s
enough.
But because, in the last few
months, we’ve learned to expect it
of him, I’m thinking many of us
fail to appreciate a recurrent act oí
gallant service by one venerable,
enfeebled man whose name is fa
miliar to all Christendom. From
time to time, triumphing by sheer
will power, by sheer singleness of
purpose above his own suffering,
Pope Pius XI, speaking from what
soon must be his deathbed, sends
forth a clarion call for a united
front against the growing menace
of communism.

Cattle feeders with limited grain
supplies are finding that thin cattle
make cheap and fairly rapid gains
on plenty of good well-balanced
roughage.
Profiting by their experience fol
lowing the 1934 drouth, farmers
went into the winter with a better
supply of good roughage than they
had that year. At meetings cattle
feeders have told about the steady
increase in flesh which yearlings
and older cattle are making with
practically no grain for the first few
months, a practice which has been
recommended by the extension serv
ice of the agricultural college for
a number of years.
Even calves with just a little grain
are gaining about 112 pounds a day
and putting on some fat, getting

legume hay is included in the ra
tion to supply protein, less cotton-
seed meal is fed.
Calves on silage with some legume
hay, a little oats and one or two
pounds a day of cottonseed meal
are gaining nicely. It is suggested
that these amounts of the high pro
tein feed should balance the ration
to meet fully the needs of the cat
tle. This is a good plan especially
since such feeds are relatively
cheap.
Soy bean oil meal is more suitable
than cottonseed meal to use without
silage.

Proper Care of Harness

New Hot-Water Bottles—Have a
little glycerine added to the water
with which hot-water bottles are
filled for the first time. This will
make the rubber supple, and the
bottle will last longer.

Vegetable stains can be removed
from the hands by rubbing them

For Good Gravy—Did you know
that gravy, to be served with
roast meat, will taste much nicer
and contain more nutriment if it
is made with the water in which
the vegetables have been boiled?

Care of the farm harness greatly
lengthens its durability. Wash and
oil it occasionally, advises a writer
in Wallaces’ Farmer.
For washing, use tepid water, a
neutral soap such as castile or white
toilet soap, and n sponge or fairly
stiff brush. A dull knife will re
move hardened grease. Then rinse
in the water and allow the harness
to hang in a warm place until it is

or it may take up sand and grit.
Harness should never look or feel
greasy.
Neatsfoot or castor oil, or a mix
ture of these with wool grease, is
preferred for treating driving har
ness. For heavy harness, use neats
foot oil, a mixture of neatsfoot and
tallow, or all of these wool greases,
to make a paste having about the
consistency of butter. Apply the oil
or grease liberally to the work har
ness. Have the material warm to the
hand, and rub it in thoroughly. After
the harness has hung in a warm
room overnight, remove the excess
oil or grease with a clean, dry cloth.
Too much grease darkens the leath-
er and soils the clothing.

FTER we’ve spent billions in
government subsidies trying to
build up a proper merchant fleet
of our own, it’s just a trifle discon
certing to read that, among the six

third in gross tonnage, fifth in ships
having a speed of twelve knots or
better, and last in ships built within
the last ten years.
But, although Los Angeles is a1
