He regarded Lthe injured member with a glint of metal' humor and spake thus to a neighbor who had. dropped In for a chat with the cheerful Invalid. "Bert, tell me somethln'. How can a feller tell when a mean white mule named Anarchy is golu' to kick? I mean, , bow can he tell In time to do him any good?" "Human knowledge goes no further than to^say that -a white mule la always goln* to kick. Is that the answer? Then let me ask you a question: How do you know whether to buy your feeder* steers In the fall or in the, spring? Do you mgke any* uiing ny xeeuing tnem in me winter, and will yon make mere if you let the other feller feed 'em through? They coat more In the spring than In the falL Is there any way to be certain?" + Sim admitted that the tiling was past* his comprehension and confessed that he sometimes did the thing one way and sometimes the other, but that he never knew Just how he was coming out. In reality, as to the time to buy stockers or feeders, there is no hard and fast rule. The usual time is In the fall when they must leuve the grazing areas and go where feeds have been harvested of stored for cattle feeding. However, with a falling market, which no one can foretell with any degree of -certainty, the cattle may not be worth enough more In the spring to pay for the winter, feeding. Yet they have been kept largely on feed for which there Is no other market. Consequently, what Sim and his neighbor should know Is how much It costs to keep stockers through the winter on various rations, how they lose or gain weight, and how they gain through the summer as a result of the way they have been wintered. Being In a better position to carry on feeding experiments to answer these questions than the cattlemen, /.lie bureau of animal Industry, co-operating with the West Virginia experiment station, conducted a series of feeding tests In Greenbrier county, West Virginia: The experiments began December 22, 1014, and covered a period of four years, the results being now Turning 8teera Into Beef. published In department bulletin 870t In brief, 30 yearling steers were selected each year aud divided Into three lota of ten steers each. When the lots were carefully equalised, the average weight of. the animals was 603 pounds each. The steers were on winter rations on average of 130 days, and on pasture an average of 158 days each year. The tests proved that an average daily ration of 10.8 pounds of silage, five pounds of mixed hay, and 2.5 pounds of wheat straw during the winter would maintain these steers Without loss of weight. An average dally ration of 23.1 pounds of corn silage, 4.9 pounds of wheat straw and one pound of cottonseed meal would give each steer an average gain of 62 pounds. A dally ration of 11.9 pounds of mixed hay and 4.1 pounds of wheat straw fed throughout the winter will not keep the animal In good condition. Tills ration was responsible for a loss of 35 pounds per steer. Corn silage gave better results than dry roughage alone, nnd the steers that had silage as a part of their winter ration made greater total gains than those fed on hay and straw. The cost of feed averaged throughout the four years was as follows: Corn adage $ 6.00 Mixed hay '. 18.00 Rye hay 18.00 6oy-bean hay 17.00 Wheat atraw 7.00 Cottonseed meal 60.00 The bulletin records feeding tests that will be extremely valuahle to the farmers of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina. Tennessee and the adjacent Mates, and for then) It does much to answer the question that puzzled Sim and his friends.

(Prepared by the United States Depart* ment of Agriculture.) For 180 cows that average less than 5,000 pounds ot milk annually, the part of the milk check that represented profit and reimbursement for the owner's managerial ability was 28 per cent. For 257 cows averaging more than 6,000 pounds annually, the per cent remaining for profit and the owner's skill was 41 per cent. For the last five years the dairy division, United States Department of Agriculture, has been making studies which bear on this problem in many uoii j gctuuua ui me wuyiry ; uuu two-year investigations on the requirements for fvroduclng milk have now been completed on groups of dairy farms In six of these communities. One of the latest of these studies, carried on In Vermont, is the one on Which the above figures are based. What It bns disclosed in regard to economy of production and the requirements for producing milk, may be of value to the dairyman who Is Interested In finding out where milk returns are going. These figures, which were obtained from a study of the production records of 587 cows which remnlned In the herds a full year, show that the average annual production of the 180 lower-producing cows was 4,140 pounds; also that the nvernge production of 257 higher producers wns 7,144 pounds n year. After subtracting from 4,140 pounds the amounts of milk What Part of Your Milk Check Reprecente Profit? required to pny production costs (feed. 1,810 pounds of milk; labor, 800 pounds of milk; and other costs 570 pounds of milk)* only 000 pounds of milk remained for the profit and skill of the owner. For the high-producing group, however, 8,074 pounds of milk remained after the following de-/ ductlons had been made: For feed, 2.302 pounds of milk; labor, 800 pounds of milk, and other costs 002 pounds of milk. Here, then, were cows In the same locality, In some cases standing side by side, and all requiring about the same labor; yet some were producing three times as much profit as others, even though they were charged with greatex quantities of feed and a large aniount of "Other costs." The figures adduced are significant also in that they show that In milk checks size Is not always a true measure of real value; but that the per cent of profit, as determined by the cows that are kept, plays an important part. The figures upon which this comparison Is based were actual records of production;* feed,, labor, and other costs were obtained by monthly fullday visitH on each of the farms for a period of two years. Careful reenwidn />?i flulto A# tho unin w c? f iiiiiuc uiroc *10110 vi imo dally milk production of each cow, feed consumed, labor required, overhead costs, etc. Using these data, the requirements for producing 100 pounds of milk were worked out. 80 far as possible the requirements were determined In terms of pounds of feed, hours of labor, etc., so that constantly fluctuating prices would have no effect on the value of the figures. Results may be Interpreted at any time by using prevailing prices. The requirements for producing 100 pounds of milk, based on 847 cows, with an average annual production of 6,252 pounds of 3.0 per ceut milk, were as follows: Winter Summer Qrnln (pounds) 33.1 8.7 Hay and other dry roughage (pounds) 129.9 18.7 Silage and other succulent roughage (pounds) 191.3 27.8 Hauling and grinding concentrates 80.020 80.006 Bedding (pounds) 11.2 Pasture (acres) I... .10 Human labor (hours).... 2.7 10 Horse labor (hours) 6 .4 Overhead and other costs 90.566 80.426 Credit for calves ' .025 of .009 of one calf one calf Credit for manure (lbs.) 382 $8 WATER OF MUCH IMPORTANCE Cow Should Have 150 Pounds a Day in 8ummer and About 100 Pounds in Winter Season.

Won't ttand Neglect. Ducks enn no more be neglected than can horses or cattle. only sound grains In good condition should he fea to poultry, and moldy grains should never be used. The locally grown grains, which poultry will eat freely, may generully be used to the best advantage, snv poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. A scratch mixture, consisting of whole or crncked grains, made of a combination of nny two or more of those mentioned, can be fed to advantage. It is not advisable to feed continuously any single grain, especially corn A mash made of ground grains, mill products, and meat scrap should be fed usually In addition to the scratch mixture. Cornmeal, whent brun, wheat middlings, and mea* scrap form the basis of a good mash, while corn chop, corn-nnd-cob meal, ground oats, and low-grade (lour may be added or substituted to advantage. Just as good results can be obtained from a simple mash, containing three or four ground grains and meat scrap, as from n highly complicated mash, containing ten or twelve products. A- large number of commercial mixtures, both of scratch grains nnd of ground grains, are prepared for poultry feeds, but the vnlue of mixed commercial feed depends upon the composition nnd the quality of the grains used In Its preparation. If n poultry raiser does not produce nny grain and keeps a comparatively small number of fowls. It Is often better for him to buy commercial mixed feeds. The average farmer, however, should feed home-grown grains, supplemented with mill feeds and meat scrap, and the large poultryman usually can mix his own feeds to best advantage. When two or three kinds of grain are raised, and ground or mill feeds are not readily available, good results can be obtained by feeding only the grains, piovlded they are supplemented With meat scrap or milk.

Among the greutest results achieved by the Hcdln explorations In Tibet was the discovery of n continuous mountain chnin, 2,000 miles long, stretching eust uud west, and which, taken as a whole, Is the most massive range on the crust of the earth. Its average height above sea level Is greater than that of the Himalayas, and although its peaks are from 4,000 to 5,000 feet lower than Mount Everest, Its passes average 3,000 feet higher than those of the Himalayas. The eastern and western parts of this range were known before, but the central nnd highest part, in Bongba, was unexplored previous to Doctor Hedin's visit. He crossed ten pusses In the range.
