FARM BUREAU NOTES Importance of Proper Feeding Feeding is one of the most important factors in egg production. On poor rations hens will live and even keep in fair health, but well-balanced, j palatable feeds are necessary to get good egg production. The additional cost of a good ration compared with a poor ration is repaid many times by the extra eggs obtained. As a rule the simplest feed mixtures com posed of home-grown grains and their by-products, supplemented by sweet or sour milk or some feed rich in pro tein, such as meat scraps, will prove most profitable and will produce eggs at the lowest cost. ! Methods of control and eradica-. tion of hog lice and hog mange make 1 up the subject matter of a United States Department of Agriculture far mers bulletin which will be of inter est to hog raisers. In addition to a general discussion of the two para sites and what may be done to con trol them, the bulletin contains plans for hog wallows and dipping tanks, i i i together with directions for building them. The bulletin, which is farm ers' bulletin lOSii. may be obtained free from the College of Agriculture at Lincoln or from the Farm Bureau. Weol Nebraska farmers have about 200,000 pounds of wool stored in a Lincoln warehouse awaiting a favorable market. The wool was concentrated through solicitation of the Nebraska Sheep Breeders' and Wool Growers' association in an ef fort to obtain a better price than has been obtained in the past when the producers sold their wool individu ally. The central storage of wool wu effected in Nebraska this year through the co-operation of county farm bureaus, farmers' unions, breed ers' associations and wool producers' associations. The wool was collected by counties and shipped to Lincoln i i car lots or in large freight consign ments. On reaching the Lincoln warehouse it was graded to facilitate selling. Very little wool is selling at pi-.;-ent, according to M. 15. J'oss in. si e retary of the Nel rnska Rli-p Breed ers' and Wool Producers' association. That moving is bringing from 20 to 30 cents a pound, depending on the grade against 50 to 00 cents just bo- tore shearing time last spring. L. -R. Snipes. County Agri. Agent.
