By BONNIE PAGE. . • "Our Trip to Chicago" •"Last Thursday, May eighteenth, the seventh and eighth grade of the Public Grade school went on a trip to Chicago to see the Swift Meat Packing Plant and the Ford Assembly Plant.

FABM STOClt MUST HAVE AMPLE FARE Figures Are Given on Feed / Demand of Animals^ Supplied by the Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Illinois. WNU Service. , To ^eigh 225 pounds next* summer, each pig farrowed on farms this winter will consume about 16 bushels of corn, three bushels of oats, 90 pounds of protein concentrates and 40 pounds of alfalfa hay. These figures are based on approximate feed requirements for live stock under reasonably good management and care prepared from farm account records and records of feeding experiments. Spring and summer pigs to weigh 225 pound! require 15 bushels of corn, two bushels of oats, 70 pounds of protein concentrates, four pounds of alfalfa and one-twelfth of an acre of pasture. One hundred hens in one year need 64 bushels of corn, 56 bushels of oats, 32 bushels of wheat and 800 pounds of protein concentrates. From the time they are hatched until they are ready for the dinner table, turkeys, 100 of them, require 25 bushels of cdrn, 28 bushels of oats, IS bushels of wheat, 1,000 pounds of protein concentrate and 400 pounds of alfalfa meal. To pull plows and other farxping equipment throughout the year, each horse needs 20 bushels of corn, 35 bushels of oats, 1% tons of hay, one ton of other roughage and 160 days of pasture. The horse at medium work needs one pound of grain and one pound of hay a day for each 100 pounds of weight. For heavy work the grain should be increased to 1% pounds and reduced at least one-half on idle days. Development of Broilers Aided by Use of Lights The care and feeding of cockerels destined for sale as broilers is similar to that of chickens raised for layers with special attention to room afforded and sanitary conditions of the enclosures in which they are kept. The fact that they are to be sold as broilers does not alter their requirements unless a special feeding ration for fattening purposes is given during the last 10 days or two weeks, observes an authority in the Rural New Yorker. A ration somewhat higher in pTotein, however, will stimulate to more rapid growth. A good chick growing ration should be used and one of the commercial chick rations of recognized standing may, perhaps, be chosen to advantage by one not well acquainted with chick feeding and care. An all-mash chick ration with 20 per cent or a little more protein content is desirable if preferred to separate feeding of mash and grains. The dry mash and water should always be available to the birds while frequent stirring of the mash to increase its consumption is good practice. All night lights may also be used to stimulate early and rapid growth. Farm Home Equipment The farm home, as well as the farm itself, should be considered when planning for labor-saving machinery and equipment. In too many cases we find modern, up-to-date machinery being used on the farm, while the farm women continue to do the housework just as their mothers and grandmothers did 50 or 100 years ago, notes a writer in Hoard's Dairyman. A water system is suggested as one of the useful pieces of equipment that can be installed in the farm home as it lessens, the drudgery of housekeeping and adds to the health and happiness of all members of the farm family. Hough Shells Are Weak Usually rough shelled eggs are the. sign of weak shells and indicate a deficiency of shell building material in the feed given the laying flock, points out the Montana Agricultural college. The cure is to add vitamin D to the feed, either through cod liver oil or green feed. The latter is especially good if the grower is not concerned about the color of egg yolks. Cows Are "Trample Proof" designed to prevent cows from trampling each other, a folding guardrail partition forms an individual stall for each animal in the dairy barn. While the cows are being milked all the bars are raised out of the way. Then the bars are lowered by one movement, giving each cow the protection of a stall,-- Popular Mechanics Magazine^ Good Feed for Geese Good feed for geese in the laying season is a mixture of cracked corn, wheat and oats with ordinary laying mash as used for hens fed moist each noon, according to a writer in the Montreal Herald. Green food is essential and the best green food is weU cured clover and alfalfa hay which has been cut green. Mangels, turnips and carrots can be used with fair success although the birds prefer alfalfa. Oats and barley can be used mixed with other grains.
