THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1917. iMi - Successful Fakminq- Andrew ft. This department will cheurfully onde&vor to furnish any information. Letters should be addressed to Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president State Agri cultural College, Athens. Ga. KEXPQTO STOCK HEALTHY Live stock can only do efficient work when kept in a healthy condition, and it is safe to say that we have still much to learn about the best methods ot feeding- and handling of farm animals so as to enable them to perform hard work continuously and at the same time keep them in good flesh and In a vltjor ous condition. Many farmers make the mistake of thinking that they cannot keep their animals healthy except by the use of large quantities of what are known a* condlmenial foods, condition powders, tonics or stimulants. Things of this kind nearly all tend to give in digestion and animals that are tempo rarily suffering from indigestion are often completely upset by the curious combination of medicines poured into them. Instead of needing a large quanti ty of medicine they should be given a good and complete rest or a change ot food or dietary. Moreover, there are many foods on the market for which extraordinary claims are made. It Is not possible for one mixture or combina tion, for instance, to cure all the ills to which horse flesh is heir. A farmer should, therefore, use good judgment in selecting such medicines as are nec essary for his live stock. On account of the seriousness of this question and its Importance in a yeai when the production of foodstuffs is so essential, the veterinary department of the State College of Agriculture has seen proper to issue some advice along this line, a portion of which is sum marized below. Prof. W. A. Henry, the best American authority on animal nutrition, says in his book on ‘‘Feeds and Feeding:’’ ‘‘Con dlrrLental foods not recommended. The basis of the better class of condlmental foods is flaxseed meal, oil meal or the by-products from oleagenous seeds, lo cust bean meal, etc. They are sp ced I with anise, cumin and other aromatic seeds. Fenugreek, slippery-elm bark, , charcoal, common salt, saltpeter, cop peras, etc, are added according to the I notions of the compounder. Tumeric is | sometimes added to give a yellow color, iAs to these nostrums, it may be said . that vigorous, healthy animals do not make better use of their feed because iof their addition. If animals are out of ! condition, they should receive specific j treatment according to their ailments. A good manager of live stock will have j no use for these high-priced condlmental [foods or condition powders; a poor man iager will never have fine stock by em ploying them.” • The usefulness of irritating sub stances such as cayenne, mustard and ginger in condiments is confined to an increased production of saliva and di gestive juices, but the continued use ;of these substances may in time have an injurious effect, as the membranes of the digestive tract become accus tomed to their irritant action and wfR not respond to the ordinary stimulation occasioned by common food materials, and indigestion in its chronic form may be the ultimate remilt, rather than the improved condition hoped for by the owner. Good teeth, a variety of grain and roughage in sufficient quantity, access to salt and a plentiful supply of clean, pure water will do more to keep ani mals in good, thrifty condition than all the tonics and condlmental foods mfcnu j factured. Investigations carried out at many of the experiment stations in the United ' States and foreign countries demonstrate I the failure of these preparations to do what the manufacturers claim for them, i In no case has their use decreased the i cost of the ration, and in no case has their use cheapened the cost of the • product—whether it be beef, pork, mut i ton, wool, milk, butter or eggs. In many j cases the use of the condlmental feeds has proved detrimental, as they increaa i ed the expense of feeding and lessened • the gains of animals receiving them in i the ration. It may apear in some Instances that the use of stock foods or egg producers are beneficial, as Improved condition of animals or poultry is frequently to ' be observed after the preparations have been faithfully used for some length of time. We must observe, however, that the directions usually require the prep aration to be given ‘‘three times a day on grain or chopped feed.” If the stock owner will pay just as much attention ' to the regular feeding of his live stock all the time as he does when proprietary feeds and tonic powders are being used, there will be little need for worry on ac count of “run-down condition,” “weak di gestive powers,” “bad blood" and other kindred ailments. The analyses and experiments per formed by the state experiment stations lead one to form the following conclu sions: 1. The brand of stock food is no indi cation that it is what is required to put live stock in good condition. 2. The claims of condlmental stock food manufacturers when not ludi crous and preposterous are misleading and exaggerated. 3. No one remedy or combination of drugs will serve as treatment for all diseases and ailments of all kinds of farm live stock. 4. When manufacturers do use useful drugs in compounding their feeds and tonics, the quantity used is insufficient ' to be beneficial. 5. A rundown condition or loss of ap ! petite caused by overwork or an insuffl i ctent variety of food materials may often be corrected by a change of diet and a laxative. Common salt should be kept within reach of all herbivorous j animals. A good digestive tonic for horses, mules and cows is the following: • Glauber’s salts 2 pounds I Common salt 1 pound . Sodium bicarbonate 1-2 pound Mix. Give a tablespoonful on feed i three times a day when the digestion is ' poor. As a preventive of worms in hogs, the following mixture Is recommended: Sodium carbonate 3 pounds Epsom salts 3 pounds Sait 3 pounds Sulphur 1 pound Charcoal 4 pounds : Copperas 3 pounds Mix these Ingredients well together I and keep in box or self-feeder so that hogs have access to it at all times. A WORM DESTROYER FOR HOGS. One teaspoonful of turpentine in a small amount of milk or slop for an 80-pound hog; other weights in propor tion. pA<se s china CE M EIM'T STANDS HOT ANO COLO WATER lO< A WORM DESTROYER FOR HORSES. Turpentine 2 crttoces Raw linseed oil 4 ounces Mix. Give as a drench on empty stomach on three successive days. On oil. MAKING A FEED FOR WORK ANIMALS. I‘. 8., Ttlbotton, (la., writes: We bare a good quantity of velvet bean meal on hand and would like to know with wbat to mix It for a feed for work mules. Please state in what proportion to mix and about what amount is an average feed? A mixture of equal parts of velvet beans, in which the hulls and beans have been ground together, and corn and cob. or corn, cob and shuck meal, should provide a satisfactory concen trated ration for work stock provided it is fed in sufficient amount and with a satisfactory ration of roughage. You should feed sixteen to eighteen pounds of the above mixture to a mule weigh ing 1,000 pounds and doing hard work. When performing lighter labor a some what smaller amount may answer sat isfactorily. In addition to the forego ing you should feed a liberal ration of roughage consisting of mixed hay. clean, shredded corn stover, pulled fodder, oats in the sheaf, or peavine or peanut hay. Not more than four to six pounds of peanut or cowpea hay should be fed per day. Feed eight to twelve pounds of any other materials mentioned, along with four to six pounds of the peavine or peanut hay. It is best to run the long fodder through a cutting box and chop it up into inch lengths. Moisten it with water containing a litle salt. Mix thor oughly and allow to stand a few hours before feeding so as to soften. Then scatter the grain ration mentioned above over the fodder and mix thor oughly with it and feed in the amount and manner indicated and in proportion to the live weight and the nature of the work animals are called on to per form. The ration may be fed in two or three equal portions. It is probably best to feed the grain and moistened feed mixed with cut fodder night and morning, and the long roughage in the middle ofthe day. • • • MANAGING COWS AFTER CALVING. H. G. K., Cobbtown, Ga., writes: I am having trouble with my rows. After they drop their calves they get down and can not get tip, and It is very hard tor them to breathe. They die in about a day after they take sick. I have lost one and have one more down, and another heifer goon to calve. I would like to know how to pre vent this trouble. Mature cows which are heavy feed ers and which receive an abundance of rich food and do not secure enough ex ercise are often victims of what is known as "milk fever.” If you have correctly stated in your letter the man ner in which your cows are affected we judge this to be the trouble. Pre ventive treatment should be undertaken, therefore, with cows which are soon due to calve. Linseed oil may do for this purpose or you may give one to two pounds of Epsom salts. Usually little milk should be drawn before calving and but little removed for twenty-four hours afterward. Os course tne calf should be allowed to take its normal supply. The cow must not be allowed to lie flat on the side, but should be propped up by means of bags of sand, bran, or hay, so that she lies on the sternum. If the head Is thrown around violent ly it should be supported by means of a rope tied to some overhead support. The best treatment is to pump air into the udder by means of a milking tube. The air should of course be fil tered before forced into the udder. The treatment may be repeated once after two to six hours. In the event that you cannot secure a milking tube an ordi nary bicycle pump may be used. This does not filter the air, however, and there is danger from its use. On the other hand, it has been the means of saving a large number of cows. You should see that your animals are fed on a varied ration in which laxative food predominates. r » * IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT PEANUT MEAL. W. P. 8., Thomasville, Ga., writes: I have some peanut meal that is guaranteed to contain 30 per cent of protein and 8.25 per cent of fat. Nothing is said about the other elements. This sample also includes the hull. Would yon advise feeding this meal to breeding stock and pigs and shoats? What wonld be a balanced ration for this class of animals? Foodstuffs are ordinarily bought by the average farmer for their content of protein or fat. It is not surprising, therefore, that the parties in question make no special mention of the other elements contained in their peanut meal. Peanut cake will no doubt contain a con siderable amount of carbohydrates, how ever, and a very considerable quantity of fiber. We would suppose the figures suggested in your letter would be about right. According to the guaranteed an alysis the product put out by this com pany contains a very fair amount of protein and fat. The fiber is of course mostly in the hulls. There is no reason why this foodstuff should not be fed in reasonable quanti ties to different classes of live stock. If fed in large quantities to hogs, however, a soft, oily pork will be produced. Therefore, it would be best to combine the peanut meal with corn or cor® and shorts. We do not think that more than one-third of the ration for this class of animals at best should be made up of peanut meal. On the other hand, we do not think that feeding one-half peanut meal and one-half corn would be objectionable so far as any injury to the stock is concerned. The peanut meal would be especially valuable for hogs In view of the protein which it con tains, an element in which corn is de ficient. We believe if you combine these crops in the manner indicated you will secure good results and that you will find peanut meal a valuable adjunct in the feeding of hogs. DESTROYING WORMS LN WORK ANIMALS. C. A. E., Lafayette, G*.. writes: My mules are infested with little pin worms, their hair Is dead, and they s»em hungry nil the time, and pant for breath at the least exertion. What must I do for them? Worms may be destroyed in mules by the following method: Feed sparingly for 48 hours and then give twice daily for three or fou‘ days a drench compos ed of one ounce of turpentine or Creolin dissolved in two or three ounces of cot tonseed oil. The fourth day give a phy sic of one ounce Barbadoes Aloes. Do not repeat the dosage, but follow in six hours with a dose of one quart of oil. Animals suffering from intestinal worms are likely to be in poor condi tion and have a depraved appetite be cause of their lessened powers of diges tion. Therefore, a vegetable tonic can often be used to advantage, such as one half ounce of Peruvian bark ground up and given in the feed twice daily, or as a drench. The general condition can often be improved by giving one table spoonful of Carlsbad salts in each feed. Our Household THOUGHTS FOB THE WEEK. “The beauty of the house is order. The blessing of the house is content ment. The glory of the house is hos pitality. The crown of the house is godliness.” To love and bear, to hope till hope creates from its own wreck the thing it contemplates. Neither to change nor falter nor repent. This is to be good, great and joyous, beautiful and free. This alone is life, joy, empire and vic tory. Give us, oh, give us, the man who sings at his work. Be his occupation what it may, he is equal to any or those who follow the same pursuit in silent suilenness. He does more in the same time—he will do it better —he will persevere longer.—-Carlyle. God is our light; let us, therefore, con tinually reach up to Him for sunshine. There is no mine so Car underground, no prison so dark, no dwelling place so obscure, but His presence can enter and His glory illumine. Perseverance, dear my lord, keeps honor bright To have none, is to hang quite out of fashion. —Shakespeare. How would you be, If He, which is the top of judgment, should But judge as you do? Oh, think on that; Arid mercy then will breathe within your lips. Like man new made. —Shakespeare. Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after man}’ days.— Ecclesiastics. JUST ABOUT HOMEY THINGS. We had a lot of thunder and light ning Saturday, and somewhere there was a lot of rain, then Saturday night we had some rain and again last night we had rain. Much of last week was cooler than September usually is, in fact, the mercury registered 50 several mornings We were to have an ice cream supper iq the grove the night of the 14th, and as the time drew nearer and the weather continued so cold there were many predictions of failure. The morning of the 14th was misty and cold. As I made the custard for some of the cream and thought of the cake then in the plate, ready to be sent off. I was not sure that I was not going to trouble and expense for no profit. But by evening there was a decided change in the weather and we not only had a nice, happy crowd, but were rewarded by a liberal amount to add to our “church cover" fund. This is a small membership and none of us burdened with wealth, so It’s a struggle to keep things as they should be. We must raise a hundred and fifty dollars for the leaks are getting seri ous. “And when that is over there will be something just as urgent,” grumbled the Pessimist. "Yes,” I answered the Happy one, ‘?but isn’t it fine to get this out of the way before that comes?” So you see what sort of a struggle we are up against, besides that he have to see that our pastor’s salary comes up, and when the rain finaly came, I said: “What a blessing it is that we have all the picked peas hauled in, and the church affairs settled for this month. The Farmer Informed me that peavine hay was not cut and probably would not be now that the rain had come. And thus it is. il often wonder what sort of a world this would be if some mortal had charge of the rainfall, the sunshine and length of the days. Many would be so kind (?) hearted that they would let some interested party have cbntrol and some other one would suf fer. Just now the rain helps the gar dens, the potatoes, the pastures and the land for small grain. But the cotton, hay and sorghum owners are not want ing any, or not more than enough to lay the dust. This week if there is nothing to change the plans the place that had rape and the one in wheat will be deprived of the tallest weeds you ever saw and Abruzzi ' rye planted. The chickens have enjoyed the shade of the weeds, and it has made them keep their splendid red, the rich velvety red that chickens exposed to July and Au gust sun will not have. The youngsters will get their last culling and one or two cockerels will be ready to put In the fattening coop, and others will be put in a rm with some others. Then twenty-three the size of par tridges will be the ones to claim special attention. They have befcn on a range, but must now be brought In. I have just received a letter from a lady who received two cockerels I sent her. They were five days on the road, and reached her in fine condition. I never start even one without a regret that it must be cooped up, must be in a new place and scared almost to death by the unusifal experience. Then I hold my breath almost till I hear that it has had a s afe trip.. In Rhode Island Reds there is the law of heredity to work against all the time. And as long as they live there is the chance feather to guard against. But what is there in life that is really worth while that does not demand con stant attention? I’ve just taken up the butter. It’s sweet and yellow, but it took hot wafer and sunshine for pans, bu’cket, churn and all the other equipment, not just one day, but all the days. The cows must be kept in health and cleanliness, and good buttet- is the result. So if you are a bit discouraged read the thou’ghts for the week, thoughts that have helped me. and begin anew. Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. Tuscumbia. Ala. AFTER A LONG SILENCE. Dear Household: In these days when j there is so much talk of war. of sorrow j and of suffering, I wonder if anyone j would be interested in just a plain j everyday letter aboift little children? I have three —a boy and two girls. The girls are aged five and two and a half years and are as exactly opposltle as Mother Nature could make two sisters. One has dark skin, big brown eyes and dark hair, while the other is a perfect blonde. Every day at 1 o'clock Dottie takes her nap. When it is cool and pleasant she has to be coaxed and per suaded to be rocked to sleep. “Come, Dottie." we say; “let’s tell about the three bears." Then, wheh she once gets still, the little eyelids begin to droop and she is soon away in Slumberland. But on those days when it is so hot she says, "MuVver, I’se so ’leepy” and goes to sleep most anywhere. The ‘boy is seven and is shedding his first teeth. He came running in a while ago to tell me he had pulled an “upstairs” tooth, I have been reading a Saturday Even ing Post, and in a story called “Within the Swirl” the author speaks of small Pierre, seven years old, who is studying his lessons and who reads this, “The Merovingians became decadent. They lost all energy,” etc. Now, I wonder if the author really doesn’t know very much about seven-year-old boys, or am I just old-fashioned and don't know the modern seven-year-old? But 1 know that my seven-yeari-old son, who is in the first grade yet, could not read this. Another story, "The High Heart.” is good. The heroine has for her motto to do what is right and let the conse quences follow, and I hope she will come out all right. We have good crops and fruit and vegetables are plentiful down here in south Georgia. Our garden failed on account of dry weather, but we have had the best and kindest neighbors, who have divided generously with us. I think we have had the best neighbors I have ever known. Everyone has been so kind, and when I think of how many there are in such sore distress in other places I think we should be so grateful for the blessings we have. With best wishes, MRS. O. B. JOYFUL. SOME EXCELLENT RECIPES. Cartersville, Ga., Sept. 6, 1917. Much Esteemed Friend: The book and your valued praised received and appreciated. I enclose a few economical recipes which are tasty and nourishing. Sour Milk Gingerbread—One-half cup molasses, one-half teaspoonful soda, one-half teaspoon salt, one teaspoon powdered ginger, one-half cup sugar, one cup sour milk, two and one-fourth cup? pastry flour, with another level tea spoon soda sifted in it, one tablespoon lard, suet or butter, softened. Bake in muffin pans in moderate oven, as the molasses burns easily. By using a heaping tablespoon cocoa instead of the ginger, the muffins are good, or other spice may be used. One-half cup brown sugar was used in place of molasses and scant measure of soda used and the muffins were good. If desired, boll one-half cup either white or brown sugar with a little water until it strings slightly. Then cool it, beat it and flavor it and Ice top of muffins a little. This hardens quickly. Plain Rice Pudding—One-half cup well mashed rice, one-half cup (scant) of sugar, a little salt, one quart hjilk. Soak one-half hour. Bake about two hours, very slowly at first, stirring sometimes, until rice softens; milk thickens to consistency of cream, and pudding is browned a little on top. Serve hot or cold. Latter is de licious. Cipnamon or vanilla may be used for flavoring and cut up raisins can be added for variety. Apple Sluce Cake—One cup sugar, one-half cup shortening (scant), one teaspoon powdered cinnamon, one-half level teaspoon cloves, a little nutmeg, one cup cut up raisins (scant), two cups flour, (nuts if you like), one cup un sweetened apple sauce, rather juicy, with one level teaspoon soda stirred into it. Bake very slowly in angel food pan or loaf, as it burns easily, having to bake about one and one-quarter hours. Ts dried apples are used, one-third cup butter. A greased paper at bot tom of pan saves burning. In cake baking one may look in oven during first third of time of baking or during the very last of the baking, but the cake falls if oven is disturbed during the middle third of the baking, before cake is set.

A kind friend up in Ohio sends m» the date when ‘‘the stars fell.” It was No vember 13. 1833. I have often heard my mother tell how she happened to see the greater meteor exhibit known to the nineteenth century. One of my un cles was about to marry and the peo ple at grandfather's home were getting ready for the "infair." To those who do not understand what “infair” stands for, I will explain. The wedding al ways took place at the bride’s home, and next day the crowd moved over to the groom’s home, where his people 'put the big pot in the little one,” to feed and entertain the guests. Mother was the oldest unmarried daughter in the family, and she was up very late get ting some sewing completed. As the weather was chilly she crept down stairs to avoid waking the elders, and opuening the back door went out to get another armful of fuel, when she saw the stars falling. She was so over come that she screamed out and woke everybody in hearing. She had. how ever, composure sufficient to notice that no stars lingered on the ground. The Youth's Companion says it was eighty years ago, but our school girls and boys can subtract 1833 from 1917 and see it will be eighty-four years the next 13th of November. A great many amusing stories have been told of the alarm and consterna tion that prevailed that night. Thou sands concluded the world was coming to an end. I have seen a very few sin gle meteor displays in my life, but the “falling stars” was an unique dis play that has never been equalled.
