; ; ; ‘ (Spokane Chronicle) Jim Hill mustard, foughi, cursed and legislated against by agricultur- ists throughout the west for years, may be ranked asa valuable forage plant for stock asa result of the ef forts of Mansfield Brothers of Endi eott and President J, D, the O-W. R. & Co. Mansfield Bros. operate a large stock and grain ranch with 3000 acres under cultivation, “We lost thousands of dollars fight- ing Jim Hill mustard,” said Y. C. Mansfield at the Davenport Saturday. “Then, about six years ago, we com- meneed experimenting with it as a forage plant along with the Australian bush, salt Everybody thought we * but last year we sold $8000 .worth of sheep that- had been raised on those weeds, and all it cost. us was the mowing.” nsing Hurd of Portland, a ricultural expert, sent by Mr, Farrell to the Mansfield ranch to conduct a series of tests and experiments, spoke before the convention of the farmers’ union of Washington and northern Idaho this week in Spokane and high ly recommended the use of the plant as a fodder. 2 “Jim Hill mustard has been demon- strated by* our experiments to have considerable value as a forage plant for stock,” said Mr, Hurd. “We es perimented with two bunches of sheep, fee other Jim Hill ‘mustard hay. Aceur- ate weight records were kept and the Jim Hill the greatest mu d fed sheep showed in “In a 1-day dairy cows thos of two bunches of fed on the mustard hay showed an increase in the milk flow, which immediately started to de crease when they were changed to wheat hay. terfat remained the same. “Work hay maintained weight. fed on the mustard The Aus: t bush proved to be close to alfalfa in feeding value.” PUBLIC SALE of Shropshire Sheep As so many inquiries have horses tralian s: reached me from farmers wishing to purchase five or ten head of good ewes, I have of Mr. Howard to place on sale at obtained the consent Cottonwood, on _ Saturday, Jan. 5th at one p. m. 105 registered ewes, all bred to registered | Shropshire bucks.

Delco-Light makes electric light and power available for farm or summer home—for rural store or church, for school, garage or factory, no matter where located. This makes it important that every new building that is put up should be wired for electricity. Universal Delco-Light is a complete electric plant—gas engine and dynamo combined in. one compact unit. It is highly efficient, and so simple a child can care for it—starts on pressing of a switch and stops automatically when batteries are fully charged—ample lighting capacity for house and outbuild- ings, and will furnish power for such light machines as pump, washing machine, churn, cream separator, vacuum cleaner, ing machine, etc. sew- Five ways in which Delco-Light increases farm efficiency 1.

Because of the war the meat. re- serves of the world are inished. The herds of livestock in Europe have been reduced by slaughter mads necessary in order to feed the armies, Our own meat production in the years just preceding the war was barely sufficent for our own uses, And yet we arenow called upon not only to feed ourselves, but to feed Europe toa large extent. And we niust do it if we win the war, Where will we get the meat? You ean do your part, on your farm and in your backyard by producing more poultry icreasing the supply of eggs and chickens, geese and ducks, Our total number of beef animals can be increased with sufficient quickness. Several years are required to build up cattle herds. Hogs can be increased considerably ina year. They can be increased faster than any other meat animal, But poultry can be doubled ina year. It offers the fastest and cheapest possible source of meat in- crease, That is why it is so important that everyone help in poultry next year. The more poultry and eggs we pro- duce the more poultry .and will eat. eggs we The more of that food we eat the less beef and pork we will need or want—leaving that much more to go to Europe. Thus we do indirectly the thing we can’t do di- rectly. By poultry get quickly production more meat to win the war, we although we can not increase in that time the number of our meat animals, Get some good hens, help win the war. You will You will reduce You will Get some good hens, is the advice of the foc administration. B| your own cost of living, turn waste into food.
