Care of stock in Winter

Soon will be the time when stock
owners can make some valuable trials
for themselves in testing the value of
advice given for winter care of stock.
OF two or three mich cows try giving
one comfortable stall well lighted and
ventilated without holes for cold drafts
or rain to enter, and keep her dry and
clean. Turn the others off in the usual
way, and compare food eaten and milk
produced, and remember that there is
left in the stall a compost worth over
ive-sixths of all the fertilizing elements
in the food, and all well preserved.
Try other stock in the same way, and
it will be found to pay well in growth
and compost made.-F. e. Emery, n. G.

Lathyrus silvestris has been expert
mented with by a number of American
Experiment Stations, and at least one
has published its chemical composition
in a bulletin on that plant. From ac-
counts of it, this plant should rank with
Medicago saliva, Lucerne or Alfalfa,
which is a perennial and yields two or
three cuttings per year. Lathyrus sill
vestris seed, however, can hardly be
worth the price $3.50 per pound in 10
pound lots in New York city for common
use, while we have the clovers, Lucerne
and corn, the seed of which we can
raise freely.
1t will pay to use an incubator to
hatch chicks if you learn to handle it
right and use good kind of brooder af-

cially applicable if your chicks can be

There are no constituents of Kainit

The objection would be more in the

Feeding Pigs.

have been told by a successful hog raiser
and farmer that cotton seed boiled with Gym
lings and Irish potatoes is a good feed for
growing hogs Will you kindly give me your
opinion as have lot Of both and wish to save
answered by F. E. Emery AgriculturiSt Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Cymlings, or squash, and Irish pota-
toes are both good food for hogs, and
the addition of cotton seed boiled in
would make very desirable feed if the
cotton seed can be risked.
Cotton seed is not regarded as good
food for swine. We have fed cotton
seed meal to pig until sick, and there
was less growth than from a litter mate
covered its health, but was stunted.
The Texas Experiment Station has
made some decisive experiments with
cotton seed fed with corn to pigs, and
in every case fatal results We're found
after six or eight weeks feeding on the
cotton seed ration, but pigs that passed
| the ten days, at which others sickened
and died, seemed to be not liable to at
tack. The cotton seed meal was fed
raw, boiled and roasted. with corn and
water as wanted. The boiled seed was
| less dangerous than the other forms, as
| indicated by a lower death rate among
! the pigs to which it was fed.
1t may be that the bulk of the food
| you propose, or some counteracting
| compound in it, may overcome the dan
| gerOus toxic agent of the cotton seed.
| Your friend doubtless speaks from ex-
| perience, and if he has fed this ration
| largely, you may have the assurance of
| his practice if none of his stock died
| while so feeding. 1t will at least be
well for you to know that cotton seed is
| dangerous, SO as to be on the watch for
| dangerous symptoms if you feed it.
| But why feed article in which dan
| ger turks? You have other stock which
| can use the cotton seed in rations and
it will do no harm. Then you can feed
corn to the pigs at a more profitable
rate of production of pork than you
could feed the cotton seed ration. Put
your corn with the cymlings and pota-
toes and you will be handsomely repaid
if you feed the pigs all they can con-
sumo in comfortable quarters.
We should prefer to grind the corn
and mix the lac2l 1T - boiled mash
of cymlings and potatoo5 while hot, so
the meal would get moistened and the
starch grains cracked by the heat.
