water in the river had been very low

Fattcn,ng Swine at Small Cost.


Haphazard methods must not pre-
vail il we would fatten swine quickly
and economically. We should feed
all the fat-producing food that can
be properly digested and assimilated,
but there is great danger of excess in
this direction. Too much will cause
the hogs to become cloyed, the 4 will
lose their appetites, the digestive
organs will be overworKed, and a
general inaction of the animals func-
tions Will ensue, resulting in loss
OF weight instead OF gain, and thus
defeating the feeders purpose. OF
course corn is the usual fattening
grain, but 1t is so highly car
bonaceous that when fed eX-
clusively the difficulties men,
t;oaed above are almost sure to
appear. Hogs will eat and proftably
digest more corn II one-fourth of the
grain ration is composed OF wheat
bran. Roots must not be forgotten;
turnips.. beets potatoes, or carrots,
when smashed or sliced, afford most
desirable supplement- to diet VI
corn. They are cooling and laxative,
and materially aid and promote d.
gestion. / have no doubt that swine
will fatten much more rapidly
and at less cost when allowed little
bran and few roots daily than when
con fined to a diet OF corn. The sea
son best adapted to the fattening Of
animals is the moderately cool
weather of autumn. avoiding the
waste necessary to severe weather
caused by the increased quantity OF
food which is required to maintain the
animal heat.-M. s Perkins, IL
