POTATOES FOR SWINE.
with Other Food, They IieiA
Large Retars.

The potato crop the present sea.
son in very large one. and the price
DO low that 1t will not pay to sell the
small tubers. This. therefore, brings
up the question Us to what disposal
can be made of them that will be
most economical and profitable. They
can, Of course, be fed to any kind uf
live stock in the raw form, but IL
would not be correct to say tina,
they are equally adapted to all kinds
of stock. No use can be made OF
them that will yield larger return
than when they arc fed to swine.
They can be fed to them in commune.
ton with other food In the raw form,
but only as O part of the ration. II
Is more than probable, however, that
where the facilities are on hand it
will be much better to cook or steam
them before feeding, especially when
they are to be fed In large quantities.
Of the various modes OF cooking
them, steaming is no doubt better
and cheaper than cooking. But
where one has invested In . boiler 10
would be well to hesitate before
making change. While potatoes
thus prepared are good for growing
pigs, they are particularly good sor
swine that are being fattened, owing
to the large amount of starch which
they contain. They should be fed H.
conjunction with meal, az they are
too bulky product to feed to swine.
Some persons have adopted the plan
Of steaming the meal along with the
potatoes and feeding the two togeth-
err. Ground barley would seem to
have especial adaptation for such
feeding. or course, ground corn will
answer quite M well. but there IN
the difference that corn answers well
when being fed unground, while the
same is not true of barley. In any
event, the potatoes should not be
wasted, as from this one item alone
q large amount of revenue can be Sc
cured, provided the rejected potatoes
are thus utilized.--Barnum's Midland
Farmer.

MOLASSES FOR STOCK.
nsrses and MsIss Have Thrived EH-
s~lieaTiy e. II In Louisiana for
Several TeaFs.

Aolasses has for two years been In
general Use In Louisiana for the feed.
ing OF horses, mules aud all stock, and
probably nine-tenths of the draught
animals in the sugar district get this
food either alone or mixed with oats
or corn. The animals like IL, and are
kept In splendid condition by IL.
Sugar mules" which are fed on mo-
iasses mainly, are worth from 20 to
IS per cent. more than the mules on
cotton plantations, which are fed
generally on cottonseed and cotton.
seed meal
Aoiasses has been u waste prod.
uct in Louisiana ever since the i'm.
proved processes In the manufacture
of sugar have extracted more Of the
saecharine from it than formerly. II
has been a problem how to get rid OF
II. The discovery therefore that Ii
could he used az Il food for stock was
Of double value. Six months ago q
factory was erected for the manufac.
ture OF cattle food from molasses.
The process ~ very simple. The mo.
lasses is mixed with corn or oats in
nearly equal proportions. The mix.
ture Is pressed into a solid mass and
dried and then ground into "a fine
powder.
Ii Is like the cottonseed meal with
which cattle and horses are fed
throughout the world. The horses,
mules and cattle are very fond Of
the molasses, and they do better on
II than ON any other food fed to
them. They keep fat and are capable
OF extraordinary work in hauling
heavy loads.
This one factory turns out $50 tons
OF molasseE preparation u day; and
the stuff Is being rapidly substituted
on the plantations for the raw mo.
iasses, not because il IL any better,
but because it is more conveniently
handled. So far the use of molasses
for feeding horses has been confined
To New Orleans and the sugar dis.
tricts, but by this process. which
enables IL TO be handled easily, it 10

In no other branch Of the live stock
industry does weight for age cut such
a figure as in the hog business. A pig
that is not good grower and gamer
Is no good. His breeding on paper
may be fine. but IL he is not growing,
he will not satisfy the customer who
is looking for hog that will breed bet
ter and growthier stock. All breeders
Of pure-bred hogs, therefore, should
be good feeders, and no one who 10
not o good feeder should attempt to
break into the business. II il we'll to
learn to feed hogs before spending
much money for fancy breeding stock.
Many who have failed with pure-bred
stock have simply been ignorant Of the
science of feeding. II cannot DO
bought or learned, except by expert
ence and practice. The man who
doesn't know how would better get
his experience on grade hogs. II will
cost him less.--Cincinnati Commercial
