When the sdling {Hice of oats gets to 34 ooita per bushd, it is time to look about tot a substitute, and to do this intdligently one must know the eharacteristics and properties of the different grains, the purpose of the nation, and the particular classes of animftls for vdiich the ration is intended 0»tt have about 30 per cent. hull. This makes them bulky and light «Qd,raid«8 than the safest of all the grains to feed to all classes of stock. It is not a fattening feed as is wheat, barley or corn. It is especially uaeful for feeding calves, odts, dury cattle, brood sows and horses. The hwseman finds no gnun quite so satisfactwy. Thqr give qnrit to the iiOTse as no other grains do. The sise and flavour of the gnuns induces more th Its flavour is not so pleasant as oats, com or ii^eat and ao it is not so palatable. Bariey is better fed mixed with fika grahiB. It is. equal to com for finishing poric, ,',. Flax seed meat is rich in protdn and oil. It is not a grain that can Jiipied heavi^ to any daaa of stock. It has a legukting tMvet upon t.^ digntive ofsans and ahould be fed in Mrt too large quantities along with otlw gr^ns. It i> tnually too high priced to feed, owing to the demand tor the need for oil making purpoies. It is especially valuable for calf feeding to take the place of whde milk. Bran, besides having good feeding qualities, is Uke flax seed, a regulator and a tonic. It cmitains good amounts of protein and ash. It is not a fattoning food, but is very useful in feeding calves,colts,dairy cows, brood mares and stollions. It forms an impo. nt part of all rations when it can be purchased at not too hii^ a cost. It is abnost indispensable for feed- ing the above cbissen of animab except where alfalfa can be substituted forit. Shorts is a byproduct from wheat, somewhat similar in composition to bran, Init different in physical properties. Shorts is indispensable fw feed- ing little pigs. 1. ran is too bulky and too coarse for this purpose. Shorts is used extensively for feeding dairy cattle and to Etmie extent in horse rations. Ck)m is called the "kfaig of the grains" all over the Middle West States. It is poor in prot^ and ash, but rich in starch and oil. It is used largdy for feeding to hogs and beef cattle for fattening purposes and to horses at work in winter. It is, however, no better than bariey or wheat in this respect, except that it is more potable than either. It is too poor in protein and ash to feed exclumvely to young animals, dairy cows or to breeding animals. Com is not a balanced ration and must be mixed with other grains such as oats, bran, shorts and ground alfalfa. Com was a good crop in the Central States this year and feed com is selling in Minneapolis at about 58 cents per bushel. The prices of different feeds vary according to the locality. The quotations in Saska- toon today (December,. 1914) are: ^•>e»t • 1 .06 per btuhel or $1 .77 oer 100 pounds Osta. AS JT Barky (feed) :76 Flu. Com.

Dairy cattle require what is termed a fairly narrow ration, owing to the fact that thiy use protein in quantities in making milk. Beef cattle make use of wider rations. Pip m the latter stages of fattening require wider rations than when they are growing. Work horaes require wider rations and Uufer rations than do young horses. The f dlowing rations afford a baas for study : Ration No. 1, _^ Ration for dairy cow weighing 1,000 pounds and giving 30 pountfa of ^n med, 6 pounds s: $1 .60 per 100 poonda 00 Whe*tbnui,2 " " inip' " "^T" Sg.

No other grain or combinati(m of gnUns have been found that will talce the place of good oats. Oata render the work hone hard and spirited; other combinations renden him soft and "logy." A little flax Bfied may be added to the above rations, erpecially if straw haa to be fed for roughage. Brood mares should receive more bran with less com. Com does not require to be ground for horses. However, when feed is high priced a saving of about 8 per cent can be made by grinding. Ration for beef cattle. — Com and barley are about equal in feeding value; com with barl^ is better than barley alone. For finiabjn g cattle the following ration is satisfactory: Com 9 pound! Flax seed meal 1 pound Bran 1 pound Roui^iaiie 20 pounda About one pound per day of this mixture for every hundred pounds live weii^t of animal. Oats may be substituted for bran and barley in part for com if it can be had at l^ cents per pound or less. Ration for swine. — ^Brood sows shmild have but little c(»ii. Bran and shorti with small amount of com will give bettor results at farrowing time. Oats is a good single grain, but too hi|^ in price now. For fattening purposes com and barley are about equal. At the present price com should be soaked or ground. For poultry. — Com is a fattening feed. It can not take the place of wheat or oats {at egg imxluction. It may be fed in limited quaatitiea along with other grains. In conclusion it must be bome in mind that ccwn is a fat and heat producing food ; that it is low in protnn and ash. It is benig brought into the prairio provinces to substitute for oats and barley and low grade wheat. If it is mixed with fair ^nounts of bran, shorts, oats and a little flax seed meal, it will form the basis of a good safe ration. Yfhen huley can be bcHif^t for lyi cents a pound or less, there is no need of buying com at iveaent tnices. Mixed with the same feeds as com, or if boiled, barley is equal to com in feeding value. In beginning the feeding of com or in substituting com for oats or bran ration, the change should be made in all cases gradually. Rboka; Printed by J. W. Bbs, Govenuncnt Frioter.
