Preventing Scours in Pigs.

Nothing is better for preventing
scours in pigs than some crushed oat
and barley slop run through screen
to remove most OF the hulls which
should be. rIaced in low trough in a
corner Of the pen. The young piss go
for this greedily. At two months old
they are ready t, wean, when they

is required to raise young pigs in WIN
ter than in summer. After taking them
away from their dams feed warm new
milk for the first meal and after that
warm skim milk with good sprink-
ling of shorts in it. increasing the
quantity each day until about the
consistency Of thin porridge. A good
way is to mix a quart Of oil meal with
each barrel of feed and have box in

Potatoes as Feed for Hogs.

Potatoes are quite largely fed to
hogs, but 1t is found advisable to boil
them. In the New England states they
are fed extensively. being boiled in
milk and mixed with meal in q barrel.
Frequently several bushels are boiled
at a time. and when mixed with corn
meal make an appetizing mess. The
only fault to be found with this COM
biuation is that 1t is badly out Of bal
anee. The potatoes are rich In starch
and 80 il the corn. To such of our
readers as are still following the old
practice we would advise the substitu-
ton of bran or Of ground oats for the
cornmeal. This would make fairly
vell-balanced ration. The Canadians
say that potatoes have good effect on
the quality of bacon produced. There
is probably no better use to which
small potatoes may. be put than this.

SUGAR AND MOLASSES DIET
Reports from Abroad Are to the Eff
feet That as Bone Strength
ener It Is Success.

The use OF sugar and molasses for
cattle and horse feeding is gaining in
popularity. Laws in many European
countries have been changed exempt
ing these products from taxation when
they are to be used for feeding pur-
poses. When recently in Paris, our
attention was called to certain facts
that may be interesting to our readers.
The Omnibus company of the French
capital owns over 10000 horses, and
as out of that number there are about
gued that possibly these accidents
were in a measure due to some faulty
combination of the daily rations.
In 1901 the first experiments were
made, the one kilogram of sour mash
that had hitherto been used being sub
stituted by an alkaline molasses COM
bination. The results obtained were
encouraging beyond the most sanguine
expectations, and in 1902 the number
of broken legs was only 79.
1t was concluded that the, extreme
fragility of the animals hony structure
was due to the absence of the requisite
mineral elements in their rations.
There appears to be ample medical au-
thority for asserting that heavy con-
sumers of sugar, in cases of bone frac-
ture, will recover more rapidly than
when that article of luxury is eaten in
moderation In some hospitals, pa
tients that are laid up with compound
fractures of legs or arms receive in ad-
dition to their regular food allowance
$50 grams of sugar, the cost of which
is soon covered by the lesser period
needed for the complete healing of the
bony tissue.-Sugar Beet.
