= nat aiccconeea aa Will Study Poultry at Columbia. Beginning September 1, 1911, the) Missouri College of Agriculture and Experiment Station is to have a regu- | larly organized poultry department. The purpose of the new department is to investigate the various diseases and pests that affect farm fowls, to study the relative utility of different breeds of poultry for various locali- ties of the State, to experiment with the problem of feeding poultry for breeding purposes and for market, besides giving regular courses of in-| struction in poultry husbandry to stu- dents. The Federal Experiment Station at Columbia with its well equipped dem- onstration rooms and laboratories of- | fers exceptional advantages for carry- ing on the proposed line of work. The new three story Veterinary build- ing, now nearing completion, will supply unusual facilities for the in- vestigation of poultry diseases and methods of combatting them. More over, all the work of investigation and experimentation will be carried on where hundreds of students and thousands of farmers can come in di- rect contact with it and learn the les- sons of successful poultry growing at | first hand. So while the new Poultry depart- ment will find at Columbia a home al- ready largely equipped and fitted to its needs, every one of the four hun- dred and more students, every one of the ten to fifteen hundred farmers who come to Columbia during ‘‘Farm- ers’ Week,’’ every visitor to the Un- iversity of Missouri, will find there an Agricultural College and Experi- ment Station fitly representing and caring for the great and growing poultry interests of Missouri.

Palatability of The importance of having a ration for fattening cattle palatable is em- phasized by investigations carried on at the Missouri Agricultural Experi- ment Station. CORN ALONE WILL It is apparent that the greater the palatability the greater will be the! consumption of food. The greater the consumption of food, the more rapid | the rate of gain, and the shorter the} period required for fattening the ani- mals. The importance of palatability | has been demonstrated by careful ex: | periments, and the results have shown | conclusively that a very palatable ral tion causes a greater secretion of di: | gestive fluids, and consequently bet- | ter digestion and absorption in the body of the animal. It requires a cer- | FEED BALANCED RATIONS (By C. H. Eckles, Professor of Dairy- Ing, College of Agriculture, University of Missouri.) The feeding of a ration not properly balanced is one of the most common mistakes made on the average farm in the corn belt, on account of the usual abundance and cheapness of corn, corn fodder, and timothy hay. This is especially true in the case of dairy cows. All good. rations contain substances which serve two quite distinct pur- poses when taken into the body. First, certain substances known as protein, which build up muscle, bone and hair, and also supply the material from which the curd of milk is made. Protein is found in almost all food, | but in especially large quantities in alfalfa, clover, and cowpea hay, bran, cottonseed, linseed, and gluten meal; also in nearly a pure form in lean in milk. No other element can take the place of protein. Second, another class of substances supply heat to keep the body warm, fat to be stored in the tissues as body fat, or put into the milk as butter fat, ; and energy to keep up the functions of the body. This class is represented by two kinds of material, different in char- acted but. serving Jargely the same purpose in the body, called carbo- hydrates and fats. The carbohydrates are present in large’ quantities in. nearly all grains, such as corn, wheat | and barley, and in corn fodder and! timothy hay in the form of starch. ; In other plants, such as sorghum and: sugar beets, it is found in the form of sugars. The fats are found in vary- ing quantities in all common grains. | All properly balanced rations must. contain protein, carbohydrates and fat, and no amount of carbohydrates and fat can take the place of the pro- | tein in the body. A cow secreting milk must secrete substances in each of these classes. | In one hundred pounds of average, milk we find about 3.3 pounds of pro- tein in the form of curd, five pounds; of carbohydrates in the form of milk | sugar, and four pounds of fat in the} form of butter fat. Since these three | kinds of solids must be present in order to form milk, it is necessary to furnish them in the ration and in about the proper proportion, so there will be no loss. When this is done, the ration is properly balanced. If a cow be supplied with sufficient material in her feed to produce thirty pounds of milk per day, but on ac- count uw lacking protein produces but fifteen pounds, it is useless to further increase the fat producing material and expect the flow of milk to be in- creased. The surplus fat in the feed will not be put into the milk and make it unusually rich. The results of numerous experiments carried on by many investigators show that as far as the practical feeder is con- cerned the proportion of butter fat 4m cow's milk can not be changed ap- preciably by the kind of feed given. The richness of a cow’s milk is a nat- ural characteristic. Farmers who are planning to ship in their cattle on account of the short- ago of feed should think several times before doing so. If all the available roughage is used for feed this winter, NOT MAKE A FINISH LIKE it will be possible to carry cattle over; Feed Important and theoretically all the feed con- sumed above the maintenance require- ments will be used for increase. in live weight. In the mixing of ra- tions, therefore, for fattening animals, THIS. tain amount of feed for maintenance, | their palatability is a factor of prime importance. | Four years experiments including | 126 animals proved that the palatabil: ity of a ration of shelled corn was in-| creased by the addition of cotton and | linseed meals. The animals fed this | mixed ration ate more, gained faster, and had a better finish than those on the straight corn ration. Gluten feed was not found to increase the palata- bility of shelled corn, | quite well. The wheat straw, of | which there is so much this year, is more nourishing than usual. The cornstalks, many of which will not mature ears ,contain more nutriment than in an ordinary year. Almost all of the food material that would have gone into the ears is already formed in the plant. If the ears are not formed, the stalk is very much richer. These stalks, then, will make excel- ient feed. The last great drouth was in 1901, and it was noticed at that tim:e all over the country that cattle wintered on these immature stalks did about as well as if they had re- ceived grain. It is almost too late to plant cowpeas now, but those farm- ers who put them in this season will | have a large amount of forage from | them, | In answer to an inquiry about the. avisability of putting up silage this” Mr. Demaree, agronomist to the | uri Agricultural Experiment Sta- | on, said: “I doubt very much if it will be advisable to put this poorly | metured corn into the silo. The food, iauterials in it are largely in the form | of sugars and soluble materials, and ‘vhiie it will make excellent dry feed, | if put nito the’silo it will become too | sour for best results.” However, it! it is desired to put in a small amount | of corn as silage, Mr. Demaree sug- | i ' gests that it may all’be saved by cut: | ting up wheat straw to make a layer) ten to fourteen inches thick on top; of the chopped corn. This should be; -wet down thoroughly and well packed. | The straw will seal up the top with-) out the customary spoiling of the first | six inches. | SOURS IN YOUNG PGS Caused by Bad Feeding and Unsan- itary Conditions—Remedied by Removing the Cause. Bad feeding and unsanitary condi- tions about the pig’s quarters are re- sponsible for scours in hogs. It may, however, be caused within the first few days after birth by the feverish condition of the sow affecting the character of the milk. Soured slops, mouldy corn, etc., fed either to the sow or to the pigs, may also cause scours. As this is a disease of feeding and sanitation more than anything else, the provision of clean quarters and good feed for both sow and pigs is necessary. If the scours are due to fever in the sow, she should be given a dose of castor oil. Some farmers feed slack coal, sulphur, copperas, .alum water and various other reme- dies. The. advice of the Missouri Experi- ment Station, in an article by F. G. King, is to first look to the feeding. If the feed is poor, sour, or mouldy, it must be changed. If the scours con- tinue after that, give a few drops of laudanum per pig, or one-half to one tablespoonful to the sow. The dose may be repeated if necessary.
