The Creditors Surety Co., Of I he United States Of America General Offices: ATLANTA, GEORGIA /eed Questions Asked by Raisers of Stock Wide Range of Problems From Many States. (Pwpirid by the L’Mterl St&tM Department of Af i iculturo.) The recent work of the United States Department of Agriculture and co-operating states to Improve the methods of feeding live stock has stimulated Interest In all parts of the country and feeding problem blanks sent to many farmers have beerf filled out and sent In for replies. A survey made last summer showed that a large percentage of stock raisprs and feeders have many puzzling problems and that most of them are searching for better and more economical ra tions. A\ few of the early Inquiries re oelve'd ns a result of this new service offered to farmers show a wide range of problems from scattered states. A I Maryland farmer asked for good ra ; tlons for brood sows and growing i Pigs. Although he had been keeping hogs for eight years, ear corn was ! practically the Tinly feed used. The | ! department’s reply pointed out the | principles of successful swine feeding and called attention to the need for good pastures, mineral mixtures, and \ a well-balanced grain ration. A Ken tucky cattle feeder submitted the ra ttons ho hud been using for finishing for both the spring and fall markets : Hnd received suggestions which should save him money the coming year. Among the other problems the de partment has helped to solve are the I making of dairy rations where certain feeds commonly used *nre not avail able; the addition of more desirable crops in the farm rotation; feeding hoar pigs to be sold for breeding pur poses; the saving of grain by use of other roughages; and many more. Re quests for assistance have come from Alabama, Colorado, Kentucky, Mary land, Massachusetts, Missouri, New York, North Carolina', Ohio, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, West Vir ginia, and Wisconsin. Future of Civilization Depends Upon Highways The future of civilization, of inn- | ferial, moral and educational progress ! In America depends upon the High- : ways, says the Manufacturers’ Record, ’ In a recent number, which Is largely devoted to a discussion of the highway question. "Rad high way s-^mrid 01 deep sand roads—spell backwardness. Good high ways make certain the advancement of religion, education and wealth. "Rad highways will drive men and women from the farms into citing, thus reducing the number of food producers and Increasing the number of mouths to he fed from a steadily diminishing food supply. Tlwt mud lends straight to anarchy and Bolshevism, for a de creasing food supply and Increasing population congestion breeds discon tent, poverty and ultimately anarchy. "The good highway Js the straight road that opens the way to better schools, better religious activities In country churches, better dwellings, and that means better homes, more contentment on the farms, larger food production, with more profit Justly earned by the grower and yet a lower cost to the consumer. "On cue side—-the safety of civiliza tion, Increased food supply and the rounding of the nation's life; on the other side—civilization endangered, food riots a certtvttyty of the future, with a nation su*ik in Its own bottom less niuilholes, sometimes called roads.” — Simple Laying Rations Give Good Egg Results Just us good results cnn be obtained with a simple mash containing three o'r four ground grains and meat scrap ns from a highly complicated mash containing ten or twelve products, say government poultry feeders. Good production and profitable returns from laying hens are the result of proper ly balanced rations. Some simple mixtures of home grown grains supplemented with meat scraps or milk are: one' part oats ar.d two parts cracked corn for scratch feed; the mash to consist of three parts cornmeal and one part meat scrap. A fair amount of green feed should go with the above com binations. About 6.7 pounds of feed are re quired to produce a dozen eggs with general-purpose pullets, while egg laying breeds require about 4.8 pounds. Old liens use a much larger amount of feed to produce a dozen eggs than do pullets. Dehorning Calves.While Young Is Proper Scheme It Is probably better to dehorn the calves than to wait until maturity, but If a cow is particularly troublesome In the liordv as they are occasionally found to be, they probably will suf fer less from having their horns re moved than the other members of the herd will suffer from allowing them to remain. (Compactly Built Lambs ! Command Highest Price A prime fat lamb weighing 85 pounds commands the highest market iPrtce. The bloeky, compactly built, lamb Is the one that will make the most desirable finished lamb In the Shortest time. Whole barley, kafir milo, feterlta. and shelled corn have ipractically ,the same feeding value pound for pound for fattening. i ; TRY STAR WANT ADS Pure Bred Sires - i Gaining Headway I Twelve Thousand Farmers ; Now Pledged to Use Only Improved Stock. :(Prei»r*d by the t'nirM Stitts Department of Atrrit-ulturr.) Farmers who have joined the "Ret (cr Sires Hotter S;’“ek" campaign, and by so doing pledged themselves to us* only pure bred sires of any kind or their farms, now number more thnr t2,W0, areordlng to tbe latest figuJMs publlsbed by tire United States Re I part merit of Agriculture. This cam i paign was begun by various states and life department four years ago and has been gaining, headway ever since. During the sixteenth quarter of Pure Bred Beef Heifer. tliis period, the three months ending September 80, 400 persons enrolled from 11 states. Each fanner who signs the pledge lists the numbers of different kinds Of live stork owned, and tin* records now show that those taking part In this movement for live stork improvement own nearly 000,000 animals and close to 1,000,000 head of poultry. States With- Largest Membership. The states now having the largest membership are Ohio, with 2,758; Virglnliv-WHh 2,227; Kentucky, with 1.508 ; and -Nebraska, with 1,439. Ken tucky and Vermont made the largest gains in the last three months. The counties making the best showings in tlds period were Windsor county. Ver mont, and Union county, Kentucky, but Uuluski county, Virginia, is still far in tiie lead of all counties with a membership of 578 fanners and breed ers. During the last quarter 20 new members \yere added in this county. The records kept hy the Depart ment of Agriculture show some inter esting facts concerning the live stock owned by those who have signed the pledges. All the males kept must lie pure bred, but females may be pure bred, erossbsed, grade or scrub. There are more pure tired females among the A Scrub Female. swine kept than in any other kind of animals listed -02.! > per cent. Cuttle come seeoiid in this respect. As high as 71! per cent of the mares are grades; sheep come next in this re spect. Only 1 tier cent of the swine are classed as scrubs; 1.2 per cent of | the sheep; :i.d per cent of the cattle; and 4.1 peer cent of horses. These fig [ ures, it mueh lie remembered, apply ! only to these farms where nothing but 1 pure bred sires are used. Sign of Identification. Many of the farms of the members of the “Hotter Sires—Better Stock" I campaign may be identified from the highway by a sign, supplied by the ; department, which bears the words ‘■Pure Bml Sires Exclusively I'scd on This Farm.” Each sign bears the owner’s membership number. A list of the officials in the various ; states who have charge of the better ! sires activities lias been compiled and !; may be obtained from the Department i of Agriculture, Washington, I*. C, !

I DAIRY HINTS Device to Prevent Cow From, Sucking Herself It Is annoying to say the least when a cow contrrcts the habit of robbing her own dairy and how best to stop the vice la a problem. In some In stances where a cow shows a marked shrink In milk and Is not seen to sack herself we have found that the rob bing was being done by a calf, or even n yearling, on pusture. The usual treatment In such a case Is to put a spiked halter on the robber calf, says a writer In the Successful Fanning. Such a contrivance Is objectionable In that Injuries to the udder may result. The better plan Is to prevent the thieving calf from getting at the cow. In another Instance campers on the lake at the far side of the farm j were doing the robbing, so tnvestlga- I tlon Is necessary In all such cases. When a cow sucks herself there are | various methods of prevention, each of which has Its advocates. We have often had good results from simply | putting an old hor9e collar upside down on the cow’s neck. A “necklace" of pointed lath or small pickets as shown In the Illustration proves ef fective. It Is made as follows: Take six pieces of round, light wood about twelve Inches long anil, one and one half Inches In diameter, or pieces of strong lath of similar length, and with small cord passed through holes bored “Necklace" Prevents Cow From Suck ing Hereelf. In the round sticks, or tied around the laths, weave them to form an open fencelike necklace to be placed around the cow’s neck and secured there by tying together the free ends of the cords. When the cow turns to suck herself the sticks will prevent. Another good plan Is to place a strong halter on the neck and a surcingle around the body just behind the el bows. Then put a snap-hook In one end of a piece dt fork or Ijroom han dle and a ring In the other. Now snap the hook inlo the hanging ring of the baiter, pass the ‘stick between the forelegs and attach the ring In Its end to the surcingle, or pass the rope or strap of the surcingle through the ring of the stick. This will stop self sucking but not prevent eating. A simpler plan is to put a bull ring In the cow’s nose and hang another ring from the first one. That usually works well. . If not, then put a com mon straight bridle bit In the mouth and hold it loosely in place J>y means of a halter. One man suggests greas ing the teajs with*)uni and then sprin kling freely with red pepper. That discourages the cow from sucking her self or being sucked by a calf. A somewhat cruel preventive measure Is to put some hog rings in the, cow's lips and the latest suggestion, which we do not care to recommend, la to put the rings In the tip of the cow's tongue. The old-fashioned plan of splitting the cow’s tongue for % distance of one and one-half to two inches from Its tip has of recent years been im proved upon by trained veterinarians who perform the operation according to modern methods of surgery and in such a way as to prevent undue suf fering and insure against Infection. Superior Formula Given to Treat Garget in Cow Garget often causes considerable loss In the herd. When tin animal Is found to be suffering from this trouble she Bhould be milked after the remainder of the herd, as the disease may be car ried on the hands. After milking, the hands should be washed with a good disinfectant. Milk from the diseased quarters should not be milked ou the floor, but Into a jiall and disposed of. cows suffering from it may be treated with the following mixture, recom mended by the 1’urdue university dairy depart nitwit. Mix eight ounces of vaseline, eight ounces of wool fat. two fluid ounces belladonna, two fluid ounces extract poke root; warm and mix. Massage udder thoroughly.' Fged one tabie snoonftd of powdered poke root and one tablespoonful of saltpeter three | feeds, stop three feeds and continue ngaln If necessary. I>iseused cows should be Isolated from the rest of the herd. Cause of Slimy Milk. Slimy or ropy milk is caused by germs that get Into the nillk after It has been drawn front the cow. It is especiaily*prevalent where cows have access to low, wet pasture, also where cows have access to muddy water. Sugar Beets for Milk. Sugar beets are somewhat more valuable for milk production than are mangels. That is, a hundred pounds of sugar beets contain more digestible nutrients than do 100 pounds of m&n rtf* I I COMING SPECIAL MONDAY, TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY 3-DAYS-3 Dunbar’s “Gandy Shop Girls” I SPECIAL SCENERY ELABORATE STAGE SETTINGS BEAUTIFUL WARDROBE ELECTRICAL EFFECTS 11 — PEOPLE—MOSTLY GIRLS — 11 SINGING, DANCING, GOOD COMEDIANS.
