DANISH EXPERIENCE.
Various Values of Different Kinds of
Food for Hogs.

Various Values of Different Kinds of
Food for Hogs.
The Danish government has proved
by many experiments conducted on
their farms, the various values of the
different kinds of food for hogs and
the results obtained ale as follows:
400 pounds of grain make 100 pounds
of live hog.
pound of grain equals 4 pounds of
boiled potatoes.
l pound of grain equals 8 pounds Of
skinned milk.
pound of grain equals pounds of
turnips cut small.
pound of grain equals IL pounds Of
sweet whey.
Barley, rye, wheat and peas produce
the best pork, and all grain should be
ground, soaked and mixed. In all cases
feed hog mixed foods, which give the
best results.
Particular attention to cleanliness is
most desirable, because it pays. In
cold and in wet weather plenty of bed
ding should be used. Exercise in sum
mer or in fine weather adds greatly to
the health and well doing of swine,
and nothing is equal to red clover for

CARE OE SETTING HENS.

Why n Sudden Change OF Diet Is to BE
Scrupulously Avoided.
A setting hen should have the same
food as she has been accustomed to, at
the start at least, and if any change is
desirable it should be made only by de-
grees. A sudden change of diet may
interfere with its proper digestion,
cause the hen to have diarrhea, and
make her leave her nest, or foul her
eggs, and sometimes even destroy her
life. If hen has diarrhea, while set
ting, it is advisable to add few drops
of tincture of iron to the drinking
water. This will usually check the un-
due looseness, and will also act as a
tonic to the system. If hen, by rea-
son of this diarrhea, has fouled her
nest, or if she has broken any of the
eggs in the nest, the remaining ones
should be promptly washed in tepid
water, dried with soft cloth and re-
turned to the nest after it has been
cleaned. Neither hot nor cold water
should touch the eggs while undergoing
incubation. The hen should be
thoroughly busted with insect powder
three times during the Matching, at
the start, at the end of ten days and
just before the eggs are due to hatch.
This busting will destroy the lice that
often cause a hen to set uneasily, or
even to desert her nest, and will give
the chickens fair chance, by coming
into the world in nest that is free
from vermin. They will have enough
to do fighting vermin without being
handicapped at the start.
Do not sprinkle the eggs while they
are Matching 1t was an old-fashioued
idea that this was absolutely neces-
sary, but by numerous experiments it
has been clearly demonstrated that
sprinhling eggs is entirely unneces-
sary and sometimes it is possibly harm
full. Where it can be DONE, it is best
to set several hens at once. At the
end of ten days test the eggs, remov-
ing the clear ones-a very little eX-
perience will enable anyone to do this
successfully distribute the fertile
eggs ramoug the settlers. If many
clear eggs are removed part of the
hens will be sufficient to cover them,
and the others can be reset Ten days
additional setting, even if the hen
loses somewhat in flesh, will do her no
harm m-American Agriculturist.
