PORK rRonurrInN.

The question Of economical feeding
IN pork production is one that inter
csls all farmers, and much informa-
ton ON TINT limo Is being impaired
from the different experiment stations.
\ recent bulletin of the Utah Station
gives results from the uso of bran fed
In four different combinations bran
and wheat, bran and peas, bran and
corn, md bran and barley. Tho grain
WINS ground and mixed with clean
water, and fed in such quantities rs
would he eaten up clean, and in each
OF the pens was kept II box cuntniI ing
sult and ashes on tho ratio of II pint of
snlt to II peek OF ashes. The period
occupied by the feeding was n little
over five months, and in that timo the
gam OF the sets in the order of tho
feed named was: 333, 52S, BOB and
269 pounds, weighing at the start 1O6,
Ill, III and III pounds respectively.
and at the close i39, go, 4l5 and 3Sl
pounds respectively; the average gnin
per pig per day was 80, l. %, .G3 and
90 pounds.
1t Will be noticed that the pigs fell
with the pen miXture made much
greater gain in the whole than either
of the other lots, being 300 pounds
heavier than those fed on whont, DBL
than those fed on corn, ANA 2jS than
those fed on barley. The amount OF
feed varied, however, ON the different
lots rs follows: 13lI4, 1921
l37S.GS and 1913 10; the amount re-
CURED for l pound of grain of less
weight was 4.02, 3.63, 4.55 md 4. 90
pounds respectively mt n cost of Pol,
3. is, 81 and 800 cents respectively,
belngrcckoncd upon the basis of wheat,
- cents per bushel, or 70 cents per
cwt., ground; peas, $1.25 per cwt. :;
corn, 10 cents per cwt., ground, and
barley, Sd cents per cwt., ground. 1t is
noticed that notwithstanding the
greater gain from feeding tho peas.
the cost of the pork was also greater.
1t was determined that the feeding
value of the grains rs compared would
be for 100 pounds of wheat, SO pounds
of pcns, lis pounds of corn, and 12l
pounds OF barley.
1t appeared that peas made II rapid
growth, and were superior to either
of the other grains; the others follow
in their order, wheat, corn, and bar
ley last.
On tho basis of this experiment,
taking wheat rs standard of value
measure, peas would be worth 10 per
cent. more, aud corn 10 per cent, and
barley II per cent. less, respectively,
than wheat for feeding to pigs. Now

TRAINING A COLT.

The training of colt should begin
rs soon rs it is weancd; indeed, be-
fore this time something may be done
in n preparatory way to make tho
training more casy. The first thing
to do is to get well acquainted with
tho colt, and thus remove all fear of
the owner. When the young animal
has the confidence of the owner the
rest is easy, if this confidence is not
lost by any rough or unkind treat
ment. Tho utmost FentloLess and
kindness arc requisite to maintain the
influence over tho young animal first
acquired. Tho rest follows by gradual
steps, teaching the colt it's business
little by little. In tins way the ami
NAL may he put to light work soon
after 1T is II ycnr old. II is II good
thing to have colt go with tho marc
while it is sucking, rs this nccustoms
1T to much of its future work, and
