PIGS RELISH ROOTS.
They Form Desirable Additions to
Winter Rations and Promote
Health and Growth

All farm animals relish succulent
foods, and different forms of vegetable
roots have long been fed more or less
to sheep and cattle as desirable addi-
tions to dry winter rations. Pigs,
however, in winter have usually had
to be content with grain or mill feed
and water, or, perhaps, skim milk.
Succulent food has not been thought
of for them, excepting in a few cases.
Some experiments on the suitability
of silage as pig feed have been con-
Quoted, but with most unsatisfactory
returns. 1t was not found to be de-
sirable pig food. Roots, however,
offer a more appetizing substance for
pigs, and here and there is found d
farmer who has fed sugar beets or
artichokes to swine with results that
have called forth his approval. Man
gelwurzels furnish the farmer with
a large amount of succulent winter
food in the form of roots. Very great
yields have been reported by various
cultivators, wherein it has been
shown that the cost per ton for pro-
duction is comparatively light. In
1898, at this station, as high as 25H
tons of mangels were produced per
acre, at a cost of only IS cents per
ton harvested.-C. S. Plumb, Indiana

FOOD AFFECTS WOOL.
Why 1t La Important to Provide Sheep
with Proper Nourishment the
Year Around.

A bulletin Of the Michigan station
says: The strength of the weakest
place in the fiber decides the strength
of the whole fiber. So far as the
writer has been able to discover there
Is no special ration, which, if fed to
sheep, will produce wool$ of great
strength, nor can we. at any time,
say that any special ration is to be
recommended to produce a large
quantity of wool. 1t has often been
observed that sheep and lambs that
have been on full feed for long peri
DDS shear heavy feeces of wool.
This would indicate that any ration
calculated to keep the sheep in a
thrifty condition would be a suitable
one for growing large quantities of
wool. From what we have said above,
the wool grower will understand that
1t is highly desirable to provide the
sheep proper nourishment through
out the year, permitting no periods
of neglect to intervene to destroy the
strength of the fibers of the fleece.
Liberal and judicious feeding does not
change the quality of the wool, but
1t does affect the strength and the
quantity of the wool produced by a
given sheep. The weight of wool pro-
duced is affected both by increasing
the length of fiber and by increasing
the amount of yolk and natural oil
In the fleece.

FEED-GRINDING NOTES.

The gasoline engine solves the prob
lem of quick and efficient power for
rapid grinding.
With feed grinding, like many other
operations, where it is done on large
scale, it pays, and besides the cost is
reduced to a minimum.
To secure the best results the feeder
should have a mill at hand, with
which he can grind his feed as needed,
and prepare it to suit the require
ments of his special line of feeding.
A sweep mill that will grind from 40
to so bushels of dry corn and cob
meal per hour, is pretty good mill.
Grain is valuable as food only when.

STRAW ON THE FARM.
It Has Many Uses and the Man Whe
Wastes 1t Does Not understand
AIS Business.

One of the greatest wastes about
the average farm, especially In the
great grain districts of the west, is
in the straw. Where headers are used
and the straw left to turn under with
the plowing, some of the substance
taken from the soil by the growing
grain is returned to it, but this is
waste as there is not got out OF the
straw the best there is in 1t. This
method, however, is far better than
another which, strange to say, IS
quite general This is piling the straw
in some slough or out OF the way
nook and leaving it to rot down and
be carried away by the elements.
Probably the most value straw pos
sesses is as a roughness in feeding
cattle. If properly put up and fed'
oat, wheat and fax straw is VaIu-
able addition to the rations OF cattle
of all kinds. The reason cattle usual
ly refuse to touch straw is because 1t
is spoiled or musty. As much care
should be taken in stacking straw as
in stacking hay. Usually the stack
ing is done with view of getting the
straw out of the way of the machine
rather than with any thought as to
its turning the rain. The stack is
nothing more than a huge pile OF
straw thrown together by three or
four boys hired to take the dirtiest
and most disagreeable job around the
threshing machine. The sides and
top of such pile will become soaked
with the first rains and before the
winter is well on will be unfit for feed.
There are other uses than feeding
that straw can be put to with proft.
It makes the best kind of mulching
for strawberry beds, potato fields,
ETC., adding richness to the soil and
preventing the growth Of weeds. In
putting up hay sheds and windbreaks
1t is the best of material to use, as It
packs closely, keeping out wind and
turning rain. Even when rotted in
the stack, hauled out and scattered
over the fields it still possesses value
as a fertilizer. Do not let the straw
go to waste.-Prairie Farmer.
