Pasture For Breeding Swine.
Swine, male and female, intended for
breeding purposes should be given
good grain pasture with plenty of room
for exercise but should have very lit
tie fattening food. says an exchange.
There is nothing better than growing
alfalfa. If they can be turned into a
field Of cowpeas and fed little wheat
or shorts they will do just what is
wanted. That is. they will grow rap
idly and be healthy and strong. If
with such treatment they take on too
much fat shorten the feed little. You
don't want fat hogs for breeders. but
large frames. with plenty of muscle
and digestive system that will take
OIL fat rapidly, provided you conclude
to make pork of any of them.

From the above we learn that where
400 pounds of feed made 100 pounds of
quired for the same gain In winter.
The difference is forty-four pounds. or
II per cent. These figures are for Dan
ish conditions. In that country the
winters are less severe than In the
northern United States, and the sum-
mers are cooler. Under the circum-
stances we may reasonably conclude
that it requires more than II per cent
more feed for given gain with pigs
in winter than in summer in this coun-
try, says Professor Henry in American
SWineherd.

IAlNB Rec Din

The Danish experiment station at
Copenhagen has conducted extensive
experiments in pig feeding by order OF
the government. One of their studies
was to determine the difference In cost
of pork production in summer and win
ter. In these trials all of the various
feeding stuffs available in the country
were used, and when such feeds as
skimmilk, whey. roots. etc., were en-
ployed they were reduced to their
grain equivalent in calculating the re-
suits in order that the Gaia could be
easily compared. To throw further
light on the matter the animals were
separated into three groups according
to their live weight. In all at least
$500 pigs were fed In these expert
ments, SO that we may place full reli-
ance OH the average secured. The re-
suits summarized are shown in the fol
lowing table, which is condensed from

skimmi1k For Pigs.

Oats. bran and shorts are good mus
Gle making foods, but for weaving
pigs there is nothing equal to skim
milk. Many farmers seem of the opin-
ion that it is not profitable to raise two
filters. the principal reason being that
they cannot be made to grow material
~ during cold weather. Up to date
dairymen have learned of the impor-
lance of taking good care Of their cows
in winter. and If an equal amount of
care and attention is given the pigs
they cannot help but grow from No
vember till April.

Corn and Hogs.


Although the pig will eat almost any
thing. his favorite food is Indian corn.
This is the greatest corn country In the
world. and is accordingly the best
country for raising pork. In what Is
known as the great corn belt more
farmers have become wealthy by rails
ing hogs than by any other branch of
industry.
Keep Them Dry.
Are the hogs kept dry at this season?
If they are running out they must
have protection | have never before
been so impressed with the necessity
and effect of vitality in a service boar,
says II. E. Cook in National Stockman.
We are using large Yorkshire. not an
ideal prize winner. just one of those
hogs that would pass as good hog
Such vitality and vigor l have never
before seem An ordinary fence Is u
plaything for him. In working form
he can jump and run. l did not like
him until his get began to develop.
From both old and young sows ten is
an average litter. nearly every pig
strong. active and hearty from birth
to slaughter No weak points. These
hogs are using more food per 100
pounds of weight than the quiet Berk-
shire, but the size of litter and freedom
from indisposition more than stand as
an offset. Vitality and vigor are the
foundation of profit in animal breed
