Mineralizing Roughage
A few years ago at Louisi-
ana Experimental Station a
series of experiments were
carried on that seemed to
prove definately that the a-
mount of mineral found in
roughages depended on the a-
mount of mineral found in the
boil on which the roughages
were grown. It follows then
as a matter of course, that an
animal may either have an a-
bundance of mineral in its
feed or very little even when
fed the same class of roughage
this is not true when applied
to grasses.
La Perche, France, the home
of the Percheron horse has
long been famous for the kind
of animals produced there.
The density and quality of
bone found in the horses of
that region is remarkable and
all concede that the kind of
soil is the reason. There are
sections in our own country I
where the loin- disease, goiter,!
and many other diseases are
prevalent and where they are
unknown. Adding iodine to the
if the roughage were grown on; soil has been tried in the grow
different soils. A kernal of ing of turnips. The iodine con-
grain has practically the same tent of the turnip was increas-
composition regardless of the|ed twelve times,
kind of soil,
seems to be vague and far a-
way and not at all applicable
to ourselves but it has been
my luck to run into a few
cases of mineral deficiency in
this section. The first case
was diagnosed by an able ve-
terinarian and cured by giving;
nothing but mineral. Since
that time I have seen and sug-
gested treatment for several
other cases which responded
quickly.
So let us bear in mind that
most of our roughages in thi-
section very probably are
lacking in mineral and when
feeding them they should be
supplemented by a feed con-
taining plenty of mineral to

Denton, May 7.—“Thirty
foot” tales are now in
since the Texas fishing season
has opened. At the yearly
|rek to water-holes through-
out the state begins, old Isaac
Walton should thrill at the
variety of fish and fishermen
native to the Lone Star State.
Classifying iTJexas anglers
according to Ithe prey they
seek, there are the freshwater
sportsmen who want a good
fighting fish, such as spotted
and large-mouthed bass or the
handsome yellow’ bass. On the
coast “Silver King”, or tarpon
has w’on the title of “greatest
of game fish” and more dar-
ing anglers set out every year
to find a 30 to 300 pound spe-
cimen of him or of a Sheeps-
head, another popular fighter.
The “barefoot boys” go af- j
ter little Blue-spotted Sunfish |
and the familiar Rock Bass,!
both of which are found inj
ponds creeks and rivers around !
patches of vegetation. Other
commoon freshwater varieties
out of the 130 represented in
this state are the six-inch Blue
and Red-eared Sunfish, the
foot-long crappies oi* White
Perch, the long, slender, de-
structive Little Pickerels in
Ea.lt Texas, and the wfhole
family of Catfish.
The bad name given to Cat-
fish unfounded, since the Blue
and Spotted Varieties caught
in the Trinity and San Jacinto
rivers are excellent to eat, and
caviar is made from the eggs
of the spoon-bill cat in East
Texa,s. The yellow mud cat,
which is more voracious and
less cleanly in its habits, some-
what merits the shady repu-
tation.
Connoisseurs search for
Pompano ,the royalty of Tex-
as salt water fish so far as
taste and price are concerned.
Weighing about four pounds
it is no more a game fish than
members'-of the Weakfish
family, so-called because they
are easily torn in catching.
These are known as tenderloin
trout to restaurant goers, and
rank first in quality and quan-
tity combined, the commercial
catch for 1930 being over
1,043,000 pounds.
Money-making fishermen
also favor the larger salt wa-
ter species, the Spanish
Mackeral, averaging eight
pounds, the Gulf Pike, which
sometimes reaches tw’enty
pounds, and the Red Snappers,
those rosy, valuable 30-pound
fish that ai'e easily shipped
and readily marketed. Not to
be left ou t are the flounders,
croakers and the Gulf Men-
haden, whose abundance
makes them peculiarly suited
to their use as food for all
other fish.
