THE HOG RAISER

Ground oats while containing plenty
Of muscle forming material are poor
feed for young pigs unless the bulls
are sifted out, says an Illinois farmer
In Breeders Gazette. They are all
right for well grown shotes or older
hogs, and would therefore consider
good quality Of wheat middlings pref
cradle. We have found the best feed
for developing young pigs from the
time they begin to eat until they weigh
$50 pounds or over to be combina-
ton Of wheat middlings, cornmeal and
digester tankage, about as follows:
Sixty pounds Of middlings, thirty
pounds of fine cornmeal, ten pounds Of
digester tankage, fed In very thick
slop or mush and mixed fresh for each
feed. This will develop plenty Of bone
and muscle and at the same time fur
nish fat enough to keep the animals in
a smooth, plump condition.
After they weigh $50 pounds little
less middlings and a little more meal
and tankage should be used. This d.
gester tankage contains over 90 per
cent protein, which Is the portion Of
the feed that produces the bone and
muscle, and we consider it even better
than sweet milk for developing young
pigs.
Care of Pigs For Brood Sows.
Feed literally and keep the pigs
growing right up to the time Of far
rowing next spring, when the sows,
if Of good quality, should weigh 300
pounds or more. Do not confine them
In pens at any time Of the year, but
permit them to run in the pasture or
fields at will. Exercise is just as es-
sential for the brood SOW as feed.
Oats and barley ground and mixed
in the proportion Of one Of the former
to two of the latter are a good feed.
l should prefer to use part corn in
place Of the same amount Of barley.
The Helping Hog.
Men who are trying to build up land
without loss of crops find hogs val
liable assistant, says National Stock
man. Experiments with rye, barley,
peanuts, beans, peas and clover show
excellent results. The land is seeded
with the application Of some fertilizer
to get stand. The crop is left until
nearly ripe and then ,hogged down. The
manure from the grain is well dis
tributed over the land, and the stalks
are left to be plowed down to repeat
the process. Of course If clover is used
it is left and hogged, afterward plowed
and the hogging and seeding process
continued. Some experiments have
shown quite a satisfactory improve
ment Of land by the means of legumes
and the hog. The main trouble is to
get the crop in the first place on the
rundown land. After that 1t Is COM
paratively easy, but it must be pur-
sued for years. No worn land Is going
to be restored in short time by this
or any other plan.
Keep the Pigs Growing.
Continuous growth is necessary to
make pigs profitable, and this cannot
be obtained without plenty of feed. In
addition to good pasturage light feed
Of grain or Stops should be supplied
daily. The better growth received will
make such feeding profitable
