members. Meetings are held regularly
at which prominent physicians of the
city have delivered lectures on the
requisites for healthful milk for infant
feeding and family use. Veterinarians
discuss the prevention and care of dis

public meeting one session was given
to the discussion of those phases Of thu

Sumers of milk and cream. At the
second session, H. Z. Van Norman, in.

Swine are by nature omnivorous
feeders. They eat flesh. herbage, ce-
reals, roots and fruits. Their food in
their natural state has a good deal of
bulk. The bad results sometimes OBJ
tanned by feeders is due to forgetful-
ness of this fact The salvation of
pigs kept in confinement has been the
general impression that swill was pre-
eminently a hog feed. This has given
bulk to an otherwise condensed ra-
ton. The pig has to a large extent
been the victim of a wrong system Of
feeding. He has been too often con-
fined in a small space and fed con-
densed ration. AS a result disease
and death have cut short the profits Of
the pig raisers. The feeding of a ra-
ton of cereals is not in keeping with
the natural requirements of the porcine
money-maker. 1t is not a difficult mat
ter for the swine feeder TO increase
greatly the bulk of food fed. Silage,
roots and vegetables can be fed in the
winter. If the farmer have not these,
he can feed clover hay. This should
be cut in a feed-cutter and soaked by
pouring boiling water over it. To this
may be added the meal or other con-
centrate that is to be fed.

1t is surprising to what extent :m-
mature stock is used for breeders, even
among poultry fanciers. A cockerel
less than a year old is mated with
pullets, and this is kept up for genera
tions. The results can hardly fail to
be disastrous at least so far as hardi-
ness is concerned. When hardness
departs or is bred out the door is open
to many evils. Breeders that have care
fully looked into the matter believe
that the resulting fowls lay eggs in
fertile or with a germ weak in fertiI-
ity. Moreover the tendency is to de-
velop a strain of fowls that will have
little of the force of matured birds
The more advanced breeders are using
mature stock. What about the man
that buys eggs Of the men that breed
from immature stock? Are they get
ting a fair return for the money they
expend? II would be well for egg
buyers to find out whether the eggs
they are to purchase this spring are
from immature birds or not.

The milk yield of sows might be
thought to be considerable. as it must
supply the food for sometimes very
large filters. That it is not large
should teach us that the amount OF
milk needed for the sustenance of the
young Of any animals is relatively
small. Man. when he tries to supply
artifcially the place of nurse to farm
animals, almost always overfeeds. This
overlooking is not infrequently the
sole cause of the death OF animals be-
ing brought up by hand. Nature has
fixed matters in such a way that over
feeding is practically ont Of Lee
question. AS to the amount of milk
yielded by sows we have not extensive
data. Four sows were tested at the
Wisconsin station and their milk
weighed at different periods and for
different lengths of time. Number
one gave an average of IS pounds
per day; number , gave Al pounds per
day; number 3 gave "a pounds per
day and number 4 gave 90 pounds per
day. The highest yield OF milk on any
one day was 81 pounds by SOW number
one, twenty days after narrowing.

J. w. Boles: The first few days
after SOW farrows she should have
but little food. Very rich food will
scour the pigs. l save more pigs far
roWed in the spring that | do those
narrowed in the fail. A lot and house
for each SOW are necessary for best
results. After piss are old enough to
eat slop, composed of bran and ship
stuff and little oil meal different lit
tiers may be turned together. For best
growth and development feed mostly
soft food with grass and clover and a
little corn. Equal parts of bran and
ship stuff with a very thin slop of oil
meal is what | use. Plenty of wood
ashes, slaked lime, salt and charcoal
made from burning cobs or wood.
should be in their lots and pastures
all the time. Hogs will eat a great
deal OF sand. Wheat straw is best for
bedding. Millet is good for grown
hogs, will keep them out Of the dust
better than anything else. 1t is not
best to have young pigs very fat. The
development OF bone and muscle is
the primary object of the first six
months of pigs life. Overlooking i'm
pairs the health and usefulness OF the
pig very greatly. We should keep It
in thriving condition.

snsaainx The co.A

The present time OF year, when work
horses are shedding their winters
coat OF hair, is always a critical Pc
riod and much OF the ability OF the
animal to Withstand work we'll in hot
weather depends upon the manner in
which this spring change Of garment
is effected. If the shedding process
be retarded it indicates lack of health.
1t indicates. as rule. lack of atten-
ton upon the part Of the owner. He
is apt to forget that food suitable
during cold weather is unsuited to
change OF temperature. Corn, which
furnished fat and heat during winter,
now becomes a burden to the animal
economy. The heavy coat Of hair
leads to profuse perspiration and this
to debility. Nature now seeks to
throw off the incupus-the long coat
becomes a foreign body to be gotten
rid of, The horse fails to part speed
lily with this winters protection I'M
less he is given a chance by his own
er. If he is confined to a badly ven
tilated, dirty stable and given hard
water to drink, the glands and sweat
pores OF the skin fail to work freely.
sluggish circulation Of the blood &C
companies these conditions of the
skin, and that means imperfect work
ing kidneys and liver. The horse must
be healthy to perform a healthy act.
Coat-shedding is natural and neces-
sary; 1t is best done by horses in best
condltlon. Such horses are those
which have been properly exercised
and fed during winter. To stimulate
shedding at this season try to induce
good health, if absent. Do this by
hoodlng the stable wit fresh air and
sunlight. Change hard drinking water
for soft water. Stop feeding corn and
substitute bran mashes until the bow
els are freely opened--until winters
costlVeness gives way to that freedom
OF eXcretion which nature stimulates
by green grass. Feed oats then to fill
the blood with nitrogen; the carbona-
ceous matters of corn are no longer
called for and heterogeneous matters
Will build up muscle and afford vim
and visor for hard labor Lastly use
the curry comb and brush thoroughly
as mechanical stimulating factors The
skin will respond in kindly fashion.
and where this is brought about the
horse may be considered healthy and
fit for work.
