Feeding Pigs For PORK.

What is complete food for the pig,
and will it pay to feed some wheat
even when wheat is pretty high in
pricef If wheat is fed with cornmeal.
the results are highly satisfactory.
Bran, because of its character of COM
position. is not wholly desirable feed
for pigs. Middlings may be fed with
profit at any time during the hogs life.
They are not only rich In protein and
ash, but are what may be called
clean, smooth food, being free from
the Objectionable crude fiber which so
prominently distinguishes bran. Bar
ley is an excellent food and Will enable
such sections as North Dakota and
Montana to produce some of the best
pork In the world. In these and other
sections like them barley and peas will
make pork production profitable if Civ
en- the opportunity. Peas, as all under
stand, are a highly heterogeneous food
and when dry should always be fed
with some other grain. There are
some who do not appreciate the value
OF clover hay for swine. 1t is to be
regretted that such appreciation is not
universal. 1t is not only valuable be-
cause of Its high merit as feed, but
because of the bulk that it furnishes.
No growing animal should be fed ex-
clusively upon the grains. Swine will
eat dry clover hay with relish. but
the better way to feed it is to cut it up,
steam it or pour hot water on it and
mix with meal. Pasture, If IT is the
right kind of pasture, is nearly an es-
sential In profitable swine raising. 1t
should be clover pasture. but if it Is
not it must be composed of short and
tender grass.

FEEDING HOGS.
Bran and MIddIInss-Their Cost and
Qualities.

Bran and BIiddIings-Their Cost and
Qualities.
The local mills % years ago were
often oyerstocked with bran and mid
dlings and to get them out of the way
often sold them cheap. writes John NJ.
Jamison In The National Stockman.
Gradually farmers have come to use
more and more of them. Formerly
the mills were only swept clean when
ever corn was scarce. but now with
corn plentiful we find the price of
these products high. Shelled corn
should be valued at SLAP per ton on
this market, ear corn at S1O.SS. We
find bran at the mill worth by the ton
SIP, middlings $14. At the present
price of pork at the farm the farmer
can buy and feed these products at a
profit.
At our local mill we find bran sacked
and piled away in stacks, while the
bins are kept clean of middlings by
purchases of farmers. The difference
In price of the two is 81 per ton, yet
farmers buy the middlings and neglect
the bran at the lower price. The inn
preston prevails with many farmers,
and intelligent ones, that there is no
feeding value in bran for pigs. During
the summer season the aim should be
to secure growth. Grass, young and
fresh, and clover favor this. The corn
fed tends mainly 10 nrodIlca fat The
grasses and clover produce, along with
bone and muscle, sufficient fat to keep
the body In healthy condition. The
corn ration tends to give surplus of
fat not needed in the animal system.
to add to the health of the animal
The per cent of fat in the bran and
middlings is the same, and the per cent

BUTTER EXPORTS.


why Our Product Is Not More POpu-
lar I'm England.
The report of the bureau of animal
industry of the agricultural department
contains a special detailed report by
Major Henry E. Alvord. chief Of the
dairy division of the department. re-
counting experiences in efforts by de-
partment officials to increase sales of
American butter in England. The ex-
periences of American exporters of but
ter as told in the tables of export bust
ness during the past % years show that
the department has much work to do to
build up the fuctuating trade in butter
across the sea. In closing his observa-
tions on experimental work Major AL
word says:
at is evident that successfully to in
troduce fine creamery butter from the
United States and establish demand
for it in British markets there must be
a considerable period of persistent ef-
fort No regular demand can be built
up unless retail merchants of desirable
class can be continuously supplied. The
department cannot establish this foreign
trade in high class butter or even com
mence it. but it may do something to
ward ascertaining conditions which
control such trade. present and pro-
spectiye. and assist in making them
known to many interested parties. -
Major Alvord concludes that expert
mental trials Justify repetition of the
efforts upon larger scale and in
broader field to include besides butter
other perishable farm products which
this country has to sell
The detailed figures on the exports of
butter from the United States for the
past 40 years show interesting fiuctua-
tions. Back in 1880 there were sent
abroad 80, 900. 900 pounds Of butter, the
highest record for any year recorded.
The annual exports have fuctuated be-
tween 10, 600, 600 and 20, 600, 600 for
the past 10 years. The fiscal year sales
reported show the following exports:

Efforts In England 10 Encourage

shorthorn Dairy Qualities.
The scheme of the council Of the
Shorthorn society to encourage the
dairy Qualities of Shorthorns does not
appear to be in exuberant health, says
The Stockbreeder' Magazine. AT the
Bath and west show one might very
reasonably have expected that from
dairying district the society's scheme
would meet with all due encourage
ment. But what was the results We
think that those who were RESPONSE bic
for foisting the scheme upon the Short
horn society must have felt that it was
failing to effect what it was fondly
hoped it would manage to accomplish.
The class of cows was not Of the char
acter that it was intended to encour-
age and the class seemed to arouse lit
tie passing interest among the onlook-
ers At the time that the scheme was
taken in hand by the council of the So
ciety we protested elsewhere against
the usurpation of the society right to
take disinterested view of the differ
emit types of Shorthorns. That must be
left to the good sense or individual taste
of breeders But there was one thing
that was properly within the province
of the council, and that was to endeavor
to put down overlooking, which is prob
ably the most serious evil that breeders
have to contend with The facts cannot
be disputed. Many good breeders have
become alien to the show ring because
of the evil attendant effect of the high
feeding necessary for profitable show
ing At the same time. by the suppress
sion of overlooking the milking quail
ties of the COW would have chance to
show themselves and the evil in process
of time correct itself. One thing is
clear that the dairy prize scheme
is failing TO bring fhe showyard Short
horn up to the ordinary pail filling

Nurae Cows.

We have several very old cows which
are practically unstable, but with care
produce calf every year. These cows
are too old to nurse their calves, so
take the calf away when day or two
old and put it on a nurse cow. thus Civ
ing the COW ample time to recover her
strength and get in good condition. and
| have a calf that will at a year old
bring from $3.50 to $3.50. Again, there
are times when in bunch of heifers
you find some that cannot raise their
calves properly / consider it in such
cases good policy to help the calf with
little extra milk from a nurse COW.
We have bought during the last year a
large number of young bulls, and had
some of them had a little help from
nurse cow in their calfhood they would
have brought their owners twice as
much as they did Believing as / dc
that the future reproductive power, Ell
Their good or bad. in a great measure
depends upon the way the calf is cared
for from its birth to It's period of use

cumstances in all breeds where nurse
cow would be great advantage both
financially and for the welfare and
benefit of the beef breeds. Edward c.
