PIG FEEDING EXPERIMENT.
Conducted for the Purpose Of Ascer-
tanning How Much Pork
Bushel Of Corn Will Make.

The question Is often asked, how much
pork will bushel Of corn make? We
have been making experiments last win
ter and have found that a bunch OF 76
pigs made fully ten pounds gain for each
bushel of corn fed. This is very good
showing when the fact is taken into con-
sideration that the test was made on pigs
that we were finishing. We have often
done decidedly better than this on light
er hogs, but never made better gains
on heavy hogs.
It is no uncommon thing to make II
pounds gain on light hogs running on
pasture. I might also say that the ten
pound gain was made during the very
cold weather of the past February.
These pigs had very good sleeping quar-
ters and were fed out Of doors in an
open feed floor. with good protection
from the wind. No warm feed was fed.
1t is needless to say that the pigs kept a
keen appetite in spite Of the very cold
weather.
This is due, think, to the fact that
they had run all summer on pasture and
had also been fed on pumpkins during
the fall months. Their stomachs had
thus been expanded and kept In good
shape.
have always noticed that when our
pigs have been fed literally during the
fall months on pumpkins their ap-
petites remain good even II they are fed
a long time.
This is not all; by observation have
noticed that their digestion Is also much
better. This insures good gains for feed
sumed.--Northwestern Agriculture

BEANS AND BEAN REFUSE.
They Can Be Disposed OF to Most
Profitable Advantage in the
Poultry Yard.

The canniest hen woman know has
fed beans to her flock all winter. She
claims an increased egg yield from
their use Taking into account the
fact that the hens we're not particular
ly well housed, and that their other
rations consisted of corn, oats and
buckwheat, am inclined to join her
In this opinion. Beans are rich in
proteids and carbohydrates. In this
instance they helped to furnish the
constituents for eggs. for when every
body's hens were loafing this flock
we're attending strictly to their du-
ties. | may say that the biddies took
up the bean habit themselves. In
the fall the beans we're cooked twice a
week for the pigs. The hens would
crowd about the receptacle in which
the beans were placed and eat to re-
pletion when they could get an abun-
dance OF other food. BY the time they
went into winter quarters they we're
laying well. and they continued to do
SO all winter. A percentage of the
bean crop Is unmarketable from being
broken and stained. II simple cook
Ing VIII convert this waste into q
valuable food for the poultry shall we
not go and do likewise?
There is another product of the bean
thrasher for which wish to speak a
word OF praise: that is the dry fine
dirt which comes from the rollers
bushels and bushels of it. One is
often too much hurried in the busy
season to secure an adequate supply of
dry earth for winter use The bean
thrasher will do this for you and de.

Sugar Beets in Michigan.

The Sugar Beet some time ago
printed figures showing the returns to
beet growers on the land around Sagi-
nav. 1t said that one man near Sagi-
nav realized $ll3,0l per acre another
$113.94, another $1Ol.66 Some living
near these men realized but $50 or $50
per acre. These are the amounts re-
allied by sale to the factories and from
them must be deducted the cost OF
raising the crop. which averages from
$32 to $40 per acre, Some German
farmers raised beets that run from 20
to % per cent. sugar. They had sent
samples of their soil to friends in Ger
many, who procured for them seed
from beets grown in similar soil,
These were carefully cultivated and
the results were surprising.

Reckless Feeding of Grain.

Some men never feed grain to their
cows and some go to the other ex-
treme and feed too much, thus vast
ing high-priced feed material. Only
the man that is to some extent an ex-
perimenter can tell exactly where the
dividing line between profitable and
feeding of grain Is. It is
now pretty well established that the
men that have been feeding from If
teen to twenty pounds Of grain per
day to their cows have been wasting
a good deal OF money, When the
roughage is good hay and silage, from
five to ten pounds of grain per day is
sufficient for all needs In winter, and
half of that quantity will do in sum-
mer. The feeding Of too much grain
induces many intestinal diseases and
trouble In cows, just as overfeeding a
human being would do-Farmers' Re-
view.

Honesty Finds It's Reward.

An Iowa farmer had COW killed BY
a train on the railroad, says Texas
Stock Journal. He presented his claim
to the company in note. In which he
said: Thirty dollars will be consid.
cred suficient. as the animal killed
was but common COW, and by no
means the best of my herd" The
claim agent OF the road answered the
letter promptly, and lnclosed a check
for 500. He wrote the farmer: 1T
is the first instance since my connec.
tion with the road that any other than
a full.blooded animal of great value
has been killed by our trains. and in
close 500 as damages. and a reward
for your honesty. and would humbly
ask for your photograph to be framed
and placed In my Office"

LOSS IN CROSS BREEDING.
Poultrymen Who Want to Make
Money Should Stick to the
Standard Varieties.

BY cross breeding we mean the mat
ing Of two distinct breeds with the OBJ
ject of producing something better
than the breeder can Iind in the es-
tablished breeds We will at the out
set say that we do not advise any
farmer to do this If he is looking for
profit from the results. II q man
wishes to play with nature to see
what the result will be, there can be
no objection to his cross breeding.
The man that cross breeds with the
idea of establishing a new and popu-
lar breed Is almost certain to be dis
appointed. 1t is altogether unlikely
that he will be able to produce any
thing superior to the breeds now ex-
isting. If he did it would be about i'm
possible to make anyone else think so
and 1t would cost a good deal of money
to advertise the new breed Then the
sale of few birds would virtually
throw the breeding open to the world
with little hope of financial profit to
the originator OF the breed II takes
at least ten years to produce a new
breed by crossing. This was the case
with the Orpingtons. Cross after cross
had to be made to get shape and color
and then several more years had to be
spent in fixing the qualities. so that
the offspring would be fairly true to
type. The man that tries to make q
fortune out OF the creation of a new
breed is in the same category as the
farmer who tries to produce a race
horse that will become worth a for.
tune. In either case the prizes are
so few as to be not worth considering
For practical purposes 1t is far better
to stick to the established breeds and
improve them than to attempt tc
create new breeds by crossing.-Farm
ers' Review.

Hints About Poultry Rations.

equal parts ground corn, oats and bar
ley for fattening mash, and mixes with
milk. The pudding must have some
grease In II for digester. He uses one
tenth coarse beef-scrap which although
largely protein has enough fat left. The
West Virginia station found that when
the ration consisted of wheat. oats and
white corn, the yolks OF eggs were no.

alone. yolks were very light. while the
feeding Of yellow corn impaired the de-
sirable rich. yellow color.-Midlshd
