MARTIN When Horace Greeley, many years ago said, “Go west young man,’’ he Rave utterance to magic words, that stirred the imaginations of the restless spirit of the times, and men of those days, regardless of location, were fired with opti mism for the future for they knew the “west,” as a land toward the setting sun that beckoned them on because of alluring possibilities and great opportunities. William Dailey of Pipestone, Minn., but whose land is across the state line in South Dakota, was a young man living with his parents in northeastern Iowa, where he was born, when that classic of Greeley’s electrified the nation and it didn’t take him long to make up his mind that, he, too, would go west. But, he didn’t go far. As a matter of fact, in those days he didn’t have to, for the door of opportunity was ajar at his elbow, and his trek, therefore, was short. In South Dakota, Dailey found a land to his liking. Today, after 54 years of residence within its bor ders, this pioneer's achievements is an illuminating chapter in the field of agriculture and in the dev:lop ment and maintenance of ’nigh ideals in livestock improvement. Takes Lead in Field As a farmer and a breeder of Shorthorns, Dailey was foremost in every progressive movement. He introduced meritorious seedstock at the outse* of his career, and in the production and dissemination of such seed, he can be rated as a benefactor in a true sense of the term. His Shorthorn herd is one of the ranking herds of the country. One thing about Dailey’s opera tions as a Shorthorn breeder, he was a thorough believer in th? prin ciple that a herd’s standing hinges upon the use of good bulls, and his insistence on keeping In service sires of recognized standards kept the herd at a high peak during all the years of its existence. For years, farmer* and ranchmen have bought their bulls from Daily and they gave a full measure of satisfaction when they were put into service for they were of tha right stamp. The herd has earned its prominence, and its future Is bright. Its foundation was laid upon the solid rock of individuality and pedigree, and herds of such char acter never lose the public’s favor Aided by Son Dailey has an able co-workcr ir. his son, Lawrence, who occupies an adjoining farm, and he, too, has an assistant in a son whose tendencies in calf club work should make his influence frit In future Shorthorn history. The Daileys, In their combined holdings, have 1,420 acres, and live stock breeding and feeding is their big business. Cattle, hogs and I sheep are tb? great triumvirate in the Dailev program in converting into cash the grains and grasses grown upon their farms.

A o Vlo* OF INTEREST TO FARMERsj WHEAT AS STOCK FEED Wheat can be substituted tor corn to advantage In feeding live stock when prices are as low as they are at present in some sections of the country, says the United States de partment of agriculture. “The aver age farm price of corn for the Unit ed States last month was about 79 cents per bushel. At this price for oorn, wheat Is worth about 85 cents for feeding to poultry and sheepv and about 89 cents for feeding to hogs and beef cattle. The average farm price of wheat was about 80 cents per bushel. Based on digesti ble nutrients, wheat and corn are of practically equal value pound for pound. Hence, a bushel of wheat Li worth more than a bushel of com in feeding value, as a bushel of wheat weighs 4 pounds or 7 per cent, more than a bushel of shelled corn. But corn and corn products alone make a better ration for cat tle than wheat and wheat products alone. It is not necessary to grind com fts a hog feed, but wheat should be coarsely ground or crushed. Wheat, according to experiments recently made has proved 5 per cent more efficient than covn for fattening steers when fed with al falfa hay. a little prairie hay. and straw, bran and linseed meal. Wheat dies not give the best results when fed alone, but should be mixed with corn. Wheat may take the place of corn in rations for dairy cows. Wheat for horses should be ground or preferably rolled, and must be mixed with other feeds be cause of its stickiness when chewed and also because, if fed alone, it may cause digestive troubles. On the practicability of using wheat as a hog feed, the department says about 5 per cent less grain is re quired in the case of wheat, and that with corn at 70 cents a bushel and wheat at 79 cents, gains can be made with wheat and tankage at about 15 cents less per hundred pounds than with corn and tank age The value of wheat as a live stock feed compared with corn at various prices ranging from 50 cents to $1 per bushel is shown In the following table: . _ .

M® erals are also used In the diges tive system of farm animals. When the mineral content of the intes tine is out of balance, digestion docs not proceed in a normal manner. If too little mineral matter is pres ent. digestion is Inter! erred w 1th and when an oversupply is taken in, too much water rushes into the in testine from the blood. This Is m?^e true of some minerals than of oth ers. but all minerals have some ef fect upon the composition of the different fluids of the body, in cluding the blood. Ordinarily we look upon the bones as a sort or framework of the animal, which needs to be up to standaid ni strength. This is all right so far as it goes, but bonds have other important functions. They arc not inert matter that merely serve as a frame on which to hang flesh. The marrow in the bones is the seat of blood generation. At the grow ing points of the bones, different mineral constituents are deposited as reserve material for sustained growth. These reserve minerals are drawn upon when the ration fed does not contain mineral matter enough for the proper functioning of the animal's digestive and assim ilative systems. Before our present knowledge of the function of miner als in the animal economy was de veloped, our livestock frequently suf fered from diseases, the nature of which were either not understood or entirely misunderstood. A few years ago, for example, posterior paralysis in swine was thought to be dud to the presence of kidney worms. It is now definitel^known chat these worms bear no relation whatever to posterior paralysis of hogs, but that this disease is the result of mineral deficiencies in the ration, especially to a shortage of lime and phosphates. A great many dairy cows are underfed on mineral matter. Milk is rich in minerals and, unless a cow’s ration is sup plemented with a mineral mixture, her only means of getting the need ed amount is through her feed. The more milk a cow produces the great er her need for mineral matter. The fact is that for a very large proportion, of our cows the pro duction of milk is limited by lack of mineral matter—especially of cal cium and phosphorus. In a bulle tin issued by the United States De partment of Agriculture it is stated that in many cases lack of sufficient mineral matter in the feed limits milk production to the extent of il per cent, even when the ration is rich in legume hay. Not only does lack of mineral matter in the ration limit milk production, but also does it bring about disorders in re production. In fact, nutrition de ficiencies in the ration are respon sible for many disorders that arc in terpreted as diseases of various kinds. One reason why minerals are needed in greater quantities in live stock rations nowadays than they were 15 to 20 years ago is because today most of our soils are lacking in minerals and the result is that ooth grain and roughage crops pro duced on our poorer soils carry less mineral matter than they did years ago. There is another important ractor in connection with mineral feeding. A ration may contain an abundance of all the necessary min WATCH THE MALES After two or three months In the breeding pens, there is to be ex pected a lack of efficiency in some of the males. Dispose of any male which has been worsted in a scrap and is being picked on bv the oth ers. for he is useless. Other cock erels may be sick or out of condi tion. or suffering from injuries due to freezing. Now is an excellent time to go through the breeding pens and check the males carefully, removing any that are out of con dition. and if necessary replacing them with others. If new males • re placed In tha pens with other cockerels, it should be done at night, when the latter are on the narrhes. ao as to causa as erals, but when there Is ft lack of certain vitamins in the ration the animal may not be able to assimi late the minerals It has taken in with Its feed. Mineral assimilation depends largely upon the presence of vitamin D—the vitamin found In abundance in cod liver oil. Thj vitamin Is also produced in the body of animals when exposed to the di rect rays of the sun or to ultra , violet tight. Referring again to, the present greater use of mineral mat ter in livestock rations as compared with earlier times, it may be said that we are feeding our stock much more heavily than we formerly did. Our dairy cows are producing more milk, our beef cattle are fattened at 12 to 15 months of age instead of at the age of two to four years, our hogs are fattened for market at six to seven months old instead of at the age of 10 to 14 months, and pullets are brought into lay months before they were in years gone by. This forced feeding is one of tha big reasons why more mineral mat ter Is needed In feeding rations now Ilian formerly and that, partially at least, accounts for the steady growth and development of the mineral feed Industry. More farmers are bo ng convinced that supplemcnthlg rations with minerals pays. — • - --- HEATED LAYING HOUSES The use of heat in poultry hfcpse* has gained tremendously in popu larity the last year or so. Poultry men have recognized that its iuo has a great advantage in main taining dry floors and preventing frozen cotnbs in unusually cold, damp weather. Poultry keepers, therefore, in sections of the country where such weather is likely to oc cur, will be interested to know more about this practice. Heat was installed in the pens of the New York State Egg Laying contest, ou Long Island, and figures have re cently been issued on the results for a period of a little over six months. The cost of fuel for 190 days, based on coal at $15 a ton and on the maximum number of birds a com mercial pouitryman could 1 oua; in the corresponding space, wa: cents per bird. The grain con sumption from November through March with the use of heat was 15.5 pounds per bird as compared with & three-year average without use of heat of 21.4 pounds per bird, a sav ing of 13.6 cents per bird, based on the average price of their gram during last winter. Thus savings in feed consumption almost equal the fuel charges. Other charges amounted to 6 cents per bud.. An increase of 10 eggs per bird ai last winter's prices, would cover all charges, it is stated. The manage ment lists these advantages froi* the use of heat More unifori* temperature, no windy corners, drier litter, less frequent cleaning, na special egg collections in frcesrlr. " weather, no frosted combe, no re moval of ice from water pans, n# problem in giving hinds comfortable drinking water at 4 a. m. in winter when lights are used, no cost of op erating water heaters, and in creased activity of birds during car" ly morning hours.” WINTERING BEES Bees are different from ail other Insects, as they require special care In order to survive the wintering period. In providing this care, bee keepers observe three requisites which include having the colony in proper condition, an adequate store of honey, and satisfactory shelter during the winter. A large propor tion of young bees is one important requisite. It is the young bees that survive the winter, and any colony that has been headed by a voting, vigorous queen will be properl! equipped with plenty ol young bct‘4 The condition of the colonies ana the amount of stores for winter should bo looked into early. A splen* tiful supply of honey for colony U3fl during the winter is important, and each hive should have at least 50 pounds of honey left with it for the wintering period. Any smaller amount than this is liable to cau;s« starvation before the nectar flow comes on the following spring. Pro tection of the colony rcauires that it be insulated against cold weath er. It makes little difference whether the insulation Is provided by placing all the hives in a well insulated cellar or placing an in dividual packing case around each hive. Most bee-keepers have found by practical experience that a good cellar offers the best protection for their bees. Other requirements of a good bee cellar besides insulation are Discard under or oversized eggs, ill shaped and weak-shelled eggs. f3) Handle eggs carefully to avoid checks or cracks—such eggs are ruined for incubation. (4) Gather eggs noon and evening daily. Store in a cool, dry place where temperature is 40 to 60 degrees F —never in the kitchen. <6) Deliver or set weekly or oftener. <1> Set no egg weighing less than two ounces. The size of the egg de termines the size of the chick. fighting the following days as pas sible. The wise poultrvman puts tr the pen at the beginning of th« season enough excess males to per mit of some being removed later Hatchabllity and fertility of ee*i are often observed to dron decid edly In late March and early April The cockerels may be the cause ol the trouble. ♦ ---— INSIST ON A TEST Hog tuberculosis is declining.
