TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Isn't it nearly time for us to again call the attention of the Chicago &. Northwestern officials to the fact that that imaginary depot isn't "filling the hill" at McHenry and that we want a real new one in its place.. Wm. Bacon, the local well driller, Ws recently finished seven wells for people residing in and around McHenry. All the work proved very satisfactory. Mrs. Milo L. Howe has opened a first class millinery store in the south room of the Heimer block recently vacated by the E. C. Jacoo company.

TWENTY YEARS AGO All the ice houses about town are now filled and everyone concerned is satisfied. Some of the country roads in the vicinity of McHenry are now impav wable. The hitrh snow drifts account ror this condition. The walls of the new Barbian Bros., building are now being plastered with a hard finish. The work is being rush- "d so that the; cigar factory may be moved into it at an early date. Geo. Meyers, the teamster, went through the ice on Fox river with a load of lumber yesterday.

MEAT SCRAP, GOOD TANKAGE REQUIRED Egg Production Is Increased w by Animal Protein. {t is an established fact tliat max!-' mum egg product ion Js not possible on a ration of grain and grain byproducts without the addition of a high protein concentrate, such as meat scrap, high grade tankage, or milk, states A. J. Chadwell. University of Tennessee extension poultryman. Numerous tests have been made by state experiment stations to determine the pe^ cent of protein concentrate to Use in the hen's ration. " The, amount of meat scrap used in these' experiments has varied ail the way from JV per cent to as high as 25 per cent of the mash .mixture. In the majority of these tests a mash mixture containing 20 per cent of meat scrap or high grade tankage gave the most profitable egg. yields. " . Milk Is regarded as one Of the best sources of animal protein for chickens of all ages. Satisfactory egg yields have been secured on a ration of grain and skim milk. When milk lis fed as the only source of protein It Is necessary to feed four or tlve gallons per day to each 100 hens. Experiments conducted at the Kentucky experiment station showed that a gallon of milk was equal to a pound of meat scrap for egg production. They also found that there was no advantage In feeding a mash that did not contain a high protein feed such as meat scrap or "tankage. The following laying ratlofli Is rets ommended: Mash--Mixed feed (bran and shorts), 36 pounds; cornmeal, 38 pounds; meat meal, 20 pounds; fine oyster shell, 3 pounds; charcoal, 2 pounds; salt, 1 pound. Grain-r-Corn, 65 pounds; wheat, 34 pounds.

Only Hens That Do Not Go Broody, for Breeders In fliftks of farm poultry of breeds Such as Rhode Island [teds, Plymouth Rocks, and Wyandottes, in which some hens go broody and others do not, it pays to cull the broody hens and to use in the breeding tlock only the hens that do not go broody. In studies of poultry breeding at the United States animal husbandry experiment farm, at BeltsvUle, Md., Department of Agriculture investigators found that in the flock of Rhode Island Reds the pullets that went broody laid on the average about 180 eggs in their first year, in comparison with an average of approximately 205 eggs by the pullets that did not go broody. The difference of two dozen eggs in a year would make a material difference In the profit from a hen. The tendency toward broodihess Is, to a considerable degree, hereditary. Broody hens are likely to have broody daughters. In a few years the culling of broody hens from the laying flock would materially reduce thf broodlness of the flock. ^ I Distillery Grain t '* to Aid Dairymen Cattle Feeders May Be Able to Obtain AddiMpn^l Supply Soon. There will be a "new deal" In ra .ffons for many of the dairy cows when distillers' dried grains and brewers' dried grains will be available In great ly increased quantities. Both, these types of grains are lookecj upon with favor by dairy eat tleinen. The largest outlet for them is in proprietary mixed feeds for dairy cattle. Considerable quantifies also are bought In unmixed form by dairj cattle feeders to be used as protein supplements in dairy rations. Feeding tests with milk cowS have shown that distillers' dried grains are eqtial to mixtures ,of wheat bran, cot tonseed meal and linseed meal con taining equal amounts of protein, and that distillers' grains from corn are more valuable than those from rye. Further, distillers' grains were found more valuable than brewei»s' grains. Other comparisons have shown dls tillers' grains superior to ccyn gluten feed, and brewers* grains better than wheat bran. .Dairy cattle feeders contemplating tlffc purchase of* one of these feeite should be guided by the cost of a pound of protein In that feed In a comparison with the cost in other available protein supplements common ly used for dairy cattle. Buyers of mixed feeds containing considerable proportions of distillers' and brewers' grains will find the analyses as guar anteed by the manufacturer are indicative of the feeding value. When made largely from corn, distillers' grains as a rule contain about 32 per cent protein. The fat, or oil content is high, being about 11 per cent, and the fiber content is low, ranging from about 10 to 12 per cent. Distillers' grains**made largely from rye contain from 10 to 25 per cent protein with an average of about 18 per cent. The fat 1s about 7 per cent and the fiber about 16 per cent, although the fiber may range from 12 to 18 per cent. When corn, rye and oc caslonally other grains are combined by the distiller, the resulting grains have a composition lying between the extremes for corn and rye and ^p proach one or tthe other depending lip on the proportions used. Brewers' dried grains contain from 22 to 25 per cent protein. The fat con tent Is about 7 per dent and the fiber about 13 per cent. Several other products from these and allied Industries often are avail able In the form of malt sprouts, dried malt grains aud yeast and vinegar grains. DAIK£ OUTLOOK NOT GOOD FOE DAIRY FARMER Unprofitable Conditions in .Deficit Feed Areas. •prepared by tho United States Department of Aifrtculture.--WNU Service. (\Inereased production of dairy prod ucts this fall and winter as a result of relatively large numbers of cows on farms, low prices of feed grains In relation to .dairy products, increased fall freshening, and prospective in creases in .feed supplies, ip to be ex peeked. • - v. The bureau of agficultural" econo mics says that'unless the decrease in consumer incomes is checked, the ratio between prices of feed and prices of 'dairy products Will probably be even less favorable for dafrying in deficit feed areas than for the last two seasons. £n surplus feed areas, however, the ratio, it Is expected, will be more favorable. Prices of fluid milk have declined during the last year at about the same rate as have prices of manufactured dairy products, but the bureau points out that bade prices for fluid milk are still relatively higher than wholesale prices of the manufactured products. The number of milk cows on farms has continued to increase during the first half of 1932 at a more rapid rate than in the same months of 1931, but it is expected that the present rate of Increase will not continue because the numbers of heifers being raised has begun to decline. Poor pastures, local feed shortages, a higher percentage of; low-producing cows in herds, and a marked shift toward fall freshening arc stated as reasons why total milk production the first half of 1032 was somewhat lighter than for the same period in 1931, despite an tar creased number of cows. TEN YEARS AGO The warm sunshine during the past few days is beginning to play havoc with the snow. This is especially true in the city, where the thawing of the snow has created such an abundance of water that some of our walks are entirely inundated. McHenry workmen employed at the Terra Cotta factory are again making the trips to and from work via motor bus, the road between this city ani the plant having again been opened up to travel the latter part of the week. Ben Brefeld, who during the past several years has been employed in doing carpenter work for H. G. Saal at the tatter's summer home at Pistakee Bay, now has his men at work making up the door and window trimmings for the new home under con struction for the Chicago man at Pistakee Bay. AUCTION CHARLES LEONARD, Auctioneer Feed Grain for Hoppers The generally accepted theory that bens must be made to scratch for their feed in order to keep in good physical condition has been pretty well refuted by results obtained from hens kept In laying batteries. In close confinement the hens have not hud a chance for much exercise, yet they produce well. Recent tests .at eastern experiment stations show that grains as well as mush can be fed In self-feeders with T good results.

Clover Seed Is Scarce; Other Crops Are Short Producers of clover seed will meet with little competition from European producers this year, in spite of small domestic crops!! Supplies In Europe are smaller, than usual. The red clo ver seed crop is Just two-thirds as large as last year's. Alsike seed pro duction Is 30 per cent below average, and the sweet clover seed crop Is one fifth less than that of last year, which was the smallest in ten years. Drought and hot weather, which curtailed the production of clover seed, helped to Increase the yield of alfalfa seed. AI though almost twice as large as last year, alfalfa seed yields this year were near normal. The carryover Is the smallest In recent years. Color Indicator Shows Abnormalities in Cows Cows that have garget produce milk that Is less acid than that from nor- .al, healthy udders. Frequently It Is possible to detect the presence of the disease by means of a color Indicator. Tests at Ohio State university with bromthymol blue, sometimes called Thybromol," have showed that abnormalities can be detected. When one cubic centimeter of this indicator solution is added to five cubic centimeters of normal fresh milk, the color obtained will be greenish-yellow or yellowish-green. When milk Is too add, It becomes a distinct yellow; but If milk is too alkaline, as Is usually the case In garget, the color will be Intensely green, dark green or bliiegreen. In making the test each quarter Is tested separately. After the first four streams are milked into a strip cup or other container, five cubic centimeters of milk are drawn Into a test tube and the indicator added directly to it. The color develops at once. Milk from fresh cows or from cows nearly dry is not suitable for this test--Prairie Farmer. Demand for Horses &©ceipts of horses and mules at public stock yards were -'21,112 for the first eight months of 1933, as compared with 171,587 for the same period In 1932, almost a 30 per cent gain. Demand has overtaken supply, says A. L. Harvey of the animal husbandry division. University farm, St. Paul. Dealers are scouring the whole country buying up all the horses and mules that farmers are willing to sell. Foals, yearlings, and two-year olds are espe clally in demand, and fillies bring mom than geldings of equal merit. The 1930 census showed that 80 out of each 100 farms were operated entire ly with horses or mules.

Many associations have been organized but few of them have been long lived. The cost of maintaining a tester for each unit of 26 herds seemed to be the great stumbling block. In the United States, on the other hand, such associations are now numbered by the thousand and the number Is still Increasing. Last year there were 85 such associations In Pennsylvania and 36,694 cows were under test. The average production of milk per cow was 8,081 pounds and 812.8 pounds butterfat. This Is the second year that the average milk production has exceeded 8,000 pounds and the fifth consecutive' year that the average butterfat has exceeded 300 pounds. No dairy farmer will need to be told that this Is an exceptionally good showing. It Is results such as this that have made for the 1m provement associations a secure place In the estimation of United States farmers.--Montreal Family Herald. DAIRY NOTES .
