WHAT KIND OF FEED g . 1S CHEAPEST TO BUY? Fafmers, as-a. rule, feed their poul- try the grain that is cheapest on the farm that year. Many poultry spe- cialists gnd most small poultry keep- ers -use their favorite poultry feeds without considering: either the quality of the supply or_the possibility of using cheaper substitutes. Under normal conditions corn is the chepeast pOuNFy “Tood,” in nearly parts of the United States, say poul- try specialists of the United States department of agriculture. During the past year oats have been in near- ]y every locality cheaper than corn. TWhen corn goes, down to $50 a bushel, oats should be 75 cents and barley $1.20 a bushel to give the same value as poultry feed. with the hulls on, contain e indigestible matter than corm, the indigestible hulls also make less palatable to poultry and of feeding value. An average sam- ple of oats should be valued at’ about 12 to 15 per cent. less than a good sample of cracked corn. The best heat usually available, for poultry not actuaiiy worth more as a poul- + feed than good cracked corn; Low- je and damaged grains are suita- ble for poultry feed if birds in good condition will eat them readily.

The outlook for a peachicro] Connecticut - this year is not :al hopeful, as indicated by a study of the situation made ‘by S.H. 'Hollister, professor of pomology at Connecticut Agricultural col at Storrs. Cold weather, particularly in December, is blamed. 2 < i % Mr. Hollister « says that between December 11-and, 19 was a cold period that caught - the . peach buds before they were thoroughly. hardened. Tem-. peratures as low. as: eighteen degrees below. zero were reported.on. the night of December 17. Elbertas, especially suffered during this- period. A few varieties, : particularly the Greensboro, continued ‘to $how upon examination January 10, a‘large number of Tive buds. It is probable that many of these have since succumfbed. | The way of the peach grower in Connecticut has been hard: the. past few years. Nevertheless, Prof. Hollis- ter is not ready to admit that Cennect- fcut has ceased to be a peach state. He says: ‘In spite of, the severe weather of the past three or four years which re- sulted in our not having a good peach crop for four years I still have faith in the peach industry of Connecticut. Anvone who has followed the crop conditions knows that they are closely associated with the weather condi- tions, ‘and although the present out- ook seems very dubious I believe that the grower who has a peach orchard should take as much care of it as though he expected a crop this sea- sor’l.nas he will win out in the long run, ON THE MILK WAGON. Comparison of food purchases of the present with those of twenty years ago, show that the people of the United States are-using less meat and less grain but we have increased our consumption of dairy produets, veg- etables and fruits. These facts were established by checking a recent fov- ernment survey with one taken two derades ago. Food purchases of 500 families, rep- resenting different standards of American life, were carefully analyz- Comparison with former years made possible by the fact that the vernment had similar figures cov- v made twenty years ago 'f 400 families. The decrease in meat consumption mounted to 8 per cent. and that.of grain products 11 per cent. The »monnt of dairy products = consumed has increased about 6 per cent. Veg- ables how an increase of 4 per cent. and fruit 8 per cent. The. average cost of food per. man these 500 families was found to be cents a day. This, of course, rep- rdsents only actual market costs and does not include costs of preparation and serving. Unfortunately, no com- parison with twenty years ago is shown, CUTTING AND D!SINFECTING PO- TATOES. It will be found economical to use only. the large potatoes when cutting for seed. Use the small potatoes for conking. or feeding to stock. It is not advisable to cut out ind plant the eyes, as they produce weak plants. Dip the cut potatoes in a solution of one pint of formalin to thirty gal- jons of water, allowing them to remain in the solution for an heur and a half. Remove and dry before planting. Disinfect the planting® machinery with this solution before using.. Within five years Ohio, which pro- duces an average of 30.500,000 bushels of wheat, will require the entire crop t6 feed the people of that state and furnish seed for “the mnext' year. ' So it goes avith one state affer another. The food problem becomes constant- {1y more important with the develop- ment of the country. The home gar- den should be made to yield fruits and vegetables to the utmost, for the mood of the héalth and financial condition of the family, e —— TWENTY MORE CLUBS.
