Tn August,-1915, 2 neighboring breed- er gave to the dairy department of the the other calves of the college herd during that year and up until November, 1916. At that time, since the calf was sterile, it was of- fered for sale to a butcher who bid $20.00 for it. But it was decided to fatien the calf in order to determine whether or not such.a process was worth while. . Ab the time it was offered to the butcher the caif weighed 655 pounds. At the end of sixty days, fattening period, it had gained 156 pounds, mak- ing a total of 814 pounds. The same butcher then returned and paid $52 at this time for the calf. Perhaps the maximum price had not been offered at the first visit, Assuming that she was worth 4 cents per pound, her val- ue would have been $26. After sixty, six_days feeding it had exactly dou- bled. Since she sold for 6.38c a pound a “spread” of 2.38¢ was obtgined. The average daily gain was 2.37 pounds. The calf was fed upon a ration con- sisting of lihseed oil meal, 1 part, dis~ tillers grains, 2 parts, middlings 4 1-2 parts, and beet pulp, & parts. The beet pulp was fed dry. This supplied 1.85 pounds of digestible protein and 1359 pounds of digestibie nutrients y. The nutritive ratio was 1 to 6.3, Corn, except in the form of eil- age, was prohibitive because the feed used had been bought on a low mar- ket early in the vear at a price cheap- er than corn could have been furnish- ed. During the sixty-six days the calf consumed 1,534 pounds of silage (28.2 daily); 225 pounds of hay (3.4 pounds daily 3 pounds of grain (129 pounds daily). The actual price paid for feeds in- cluding the cost of cartage ($1.25 per ton) was distillers’ grains, $30.25, oats $36.25, middlings $30.25, bran 3$25.26. oil, ‘meal §23, gluten fesd $33.25, beet pulp $28, sifage 5, hay $20. The prices of thise 'feeds on hand will show why distillers’ graine, middlings, oil meal. Only enough hay was given to need for dry roughage. The total cost of the feed consumed The cost per 100 pounds of grain was $11.94, and profit above the cost of feed was $432. and.if the initial value bhe taken at $20.00 it would be $13.3%. If the price of feed had been considered at the present mar- supply the broken even. assuming that he could have made the initia} sale of $26.

Pork production offers ome of the most attractive opportunities for the increase of our meat supply. FHogs are very proiific, attain a marketable age early and are our most economi- cal meat producers. Furthermore, they will consume waste products that in many cases would not be utilized for ang other purpose. e very high price of pork pro- ducts is attracting many into the business although grain is-so high that its use is almost prohibited in meat production except when used judici- ously in conjuriction with forage crops and pasture. @here is no economy in stinting" the - grain “ration because it is high but rather one should study to have the grain eaten in liberal amounts and to the best possible ad- vantage. The pigs should be kept growing steadily. Just at present middlings, bariey and tankage offer perhaps the best values in purchased faeds for growing pigs. Forage crops of rye, oats and peas. clover, alfalfa and rape will aid materally in the production of large healthy pigs at a minimum cost. Under present’ conditions it is'es- Dpecially fmportant to seldct and.save as many good brood sows as can be accommodated. These should be care- fuily reared; for breeding late in the fali for next spring's farrow. Thous- ands of western pigs are shipped in annually and the man who has well bred and well grown spring pigs to | offer next year will be in a position to realize a good profit from his business to say nothing of his part in food pro- duction. Mangels and clover or alfaifa hay and waste vegetavles will materially cheapen the cost of carrving them over. This is the time to plan for next winters feed and . for. mext spring’s litters Those which are selected for brood sows should be erally to promote growth and build up a strong constitution but should not be_finished off with the butcher stock. Hog lice are very commonly neglect- ed and result in serlously reducing the gains. These may be prevented by dipping in_any of the coal tar dips. A £00d wallow of concrets or plank kept filled with water with a thin coating of oil is also good. Rubbing posts are fairly effective as is also the direct application of crude oil, kerosene emulsion or one part pine tar'to three parts lard, the latter 10 be preferred.

SHOULD PRUNE YOUNG TREES. i Tops Should Correspond With Reduced Rootage. There are many young trees being set out this spring both in backyards and in commercial orchards ch have not been properly pruned. A young fruit trees set out just as it was received from the nursery without any pruning is llable to dry out and be Yery slow in etarting. In spite of the many vears these trees are to stand, Dpeople fail to realize that its immedis ate futurs depends upon proper treat- ment after it is set. The broken roots should have been cut off before plant- ing and this is all the cutting that could have been done then. ~After a tree is set in the ground the pruning of the top can be done to the best advantage. Aithough expert orchard- ists differ as to the exact methods of pruning in some cases, there are a few fundamental principles. For instance, the young. branches of this nursery 5took are some day to become the scaf- fold branches for a great tres. Their growth should be guided and con- troled with the pruning shears. Cut out any and all. weak .crotches. A wealk crotch is very sharp V ehaped, and when loaded with ice and snow or fruit in later vears wiil break down and injure the tree. As a general prin- ciple the farther apart the side branch- es occur on the trunk, the stronger they will be. ‘A" young tree from the nursery has had its root system torn and injured. Many of its finest Toots were left in the sofl. If it is set ont without cut- ting the top back it will be impossible to get a vigorous growth on the entire top. Often good trees are injured by drying out early in the spring before the roots become established in the soil. It sometimes takes courage to cut back a young tree, but it is neces- sary. Prune it to four or five scaf- fold branches if it is a two vear old. Such pruning gives the tree a better ohanee to start and a better set of main_branches upon which to grow and build a great tree. The three, four or five scaffold branches should each be cut back_to about six inches. TURKEY RAISING PAYS Small Flock Easy to Keep—Birds P. ture in Fields and Require Little Attenti Turkey raising is a phase of poul- try growing which has been sadly ne. glected, vet there are hundreds of farms ‘where turkeys could .well be grown as a part of the regular farm Boultey project with little oxtra. iabor and _considerably i kevs, because they do particularly well when the weather has become dry and warm. With the old birds on free range.during the spring and summer one good daily feed of grain, prefer- ably oats, is sufficient to keep the birds in good condition. To grow young turkeys it is very important that tne .supply of sweet or sour miik .be available from the time they are hatched. A good sub- stantial coop shoyld be provided for the young and’ the mother should be confined to~this ‘coop soon after, her young are hatched and be kept there for several weeks while they are al- lowed to run about. When two tur- key hens with. broods of about. the same age are turned out on free range tdgether they will remain. in one flock and this makes it easler to care for them. o Improper feeding and too close con- finement is usually the c#use of fail- ure in turkey raising. When on free range ‘the poults. get sufficient. exer- cise to prevent overfeeding and the kind of feed-they ‘get' is such that there is no danger of injuring their digestion. It the range is plentifully supplied with green feed, grasshoppers and other insecls it is the best plan to allow the poults to feed themselves during the day and giving them a light feed of ‘grain at night in order to_bring them home. If this feed is not given they may get the hablt of wandering quite far away, from home. Small - poults ‘reqiiire mere -animal feed than ‘little chickens and & gen- erous supply of milk .ahould always be available .as & substitute for flies and” bugs which are their natura! feed. The first ten days the poults should be fed every two hours, alwavs leav- ing them. a- little hupgry after. sach feed.. Overfeeding .causes. the *ath of many poults. - The grain given them should be in the form of a mash, but should be mixed =o that it is crumbiy, but never sloppy. As soon as the DM-!I!. nr- able to jump a ‘12-inch board fence they should be allowed range. Fxercise Is important in the raising of young tur- keys. Fresh, dry steel-cut oat meal, alternating with stale bread dipped in milk, is 2 good feed for the first two weeks. This can.be fed unti] the tur- keys are larke enough to_eat whole wheat.
