effective at all times, three fast double

COMPUTING ANIMAL RArIoNs

correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Bulletin No. 1874 Of the Ith.c1, N. Y,
Station, treats OF the most important
subject of economical feeding of farm
animals. The bulletin opens with the
following clear statement:
For more than q third of a century
the subject Of feeding to fam animals
a balanced ration" or one that con
forms q lite closely to a ~''standard'
that has been fixed by carefully con
Quoted exp riments with the kind of
animal for which il is recommended,
has been before American stock feed
ers. The general utility of feeding
standards is almost universally admit
ted by those who have eiven the mat
ter study, and the number OF fee ders
who are endeavoring to conform their
practices to the standards is constantly
increasing.
The tables Of feeding stuffs ard the
methods of using them have been much
simpIiaed of late years, but judging by
the large number of requests from
farm-rs, received by t. agricultural
papers and the experiment stations.
for formulas Of balanced rations,
adapted to the needs of the ir quirers,
the subj ct is still too complicated, or
the laOor involved too great, to be
readily accomplished by the ordinary
farmer. IG is with a view of further
simplify ing the computation of rations
and bringing it within the range of
ev4rg feeder that the accompanying
tables have been prepared. The effort
has been to carry the computations as
near to completion as possible, so that
the user will simply need to take from
the table the figures corresponding to
the kinds and amounts Of the leeds
used in the proposed ration, and add
them together to be able to compare it
with the standard. The only advan
tage claimed for this publication ia
that by the arrangement of the tables
and by the computations made, the
labor Of formulating rattons il very
materially reduced, and il is hoped
that many who have not heretofore at
tempted this work for themselves will
be encouraged to do 90.

NAL bodies may for convenience be
grouped under four heads-water, ash

Careful experiments conducted in
the laboratory of the Agricultural De
pRrtment at Washington, D. O., have
demonstrated that hog cholera bacilli
remain alive and ective in water four
months. This explains the cause OF
the rapid distribution Of the disease
along streams, creeks, branches and
~rivulets.
Here is a case which came under my
observation: A lot of hogs that OBJ
tanned their supply of water from a
pool in a creek became infected with
the disease aud all died. At this time
the water in the creek was too 10 Y to
flow. Seven weeks later a heavy storm
caused a rise in the creek and the flow
ing water carried the disease to every
herd down the valley that obtained its
supply of water from the stream. The
owners of the herd below had been
warned of the danger, but as the
stream did not flow for several weeks
after the hogs above had died tn y de
cided that the bRccilli were dead and
there was no necessity for any precau
tions. Only man penned his hogs
when the stream arose, and his we're
the only mes that escaped an attack OF
the disease.
A great many farmers allow their
pigs to obtain their supply Of water
from streams dowing through their
farms. It is a very convenient mode
Of watering stock, but a rather dan,
gerous one II the hogs up stream are
attacked by cholera or swine plague
the germs are sure to be brought down
and their hogs infected. It is a diff
cult matter to keep informed as to the
condition of all the hogs along a stream
many miles in length, therefore it lie
the safest plan by far to fence the
swine away from the rivers and creeks.
To emph As'z } this advice, an investiga
ton into the matter showed that in
1896 the loss OF hogs in the townships
bordering on White River, in Indiana,
was 90 1 per cent. In the second tier
OF town, hips back from the river Is 6
pr cent ard ia the third tier z 5 per

This poor fellow will pay 9 cents per
pound for bacon in September on an
account due October lat, when the
same bacon can be bought by a truck
farmer who always has cash, at 8 cents,
which is 600 per cent. per annum IN
terest difference. This big interest is a
child of cotton. We are a batter friend

but simply wants some cotton and
something else instead OF all cotton
and nothing else, as some OF our friends
would have it.

$40 we'd that sixty townships bordering
upon the Wabash River from Cass
county to it's mouth showed a lofs of

It is safe to say that no herd of swine
that obtains it's supply Of water from a
river or flowing stream is safe from in

must expect to suffer losses from hog
