Swine at Ontario Station.

A report Of the Ontario station
says: Our. swine comprise representa-
tives Of the Yorkshire, Tamworth and
Berkshire breeds. This is quite as
many breeds as we can handle to ad-
vantage. Representatives of the
Chester White, Duroc Jersey and Pc.
land China breeds have been fed in
the experimental piggery.
Feeding Swine.-Breeding sows are
fed sparingly on a mixed meal ration
consisting generally of ground oats,
barley and peas, the oats constituting
about half the mixture. In addition,
they receive fairly liberal allowance
OF pulped roots, which is decreased as
narrowing time approaches. Before
feeding, they are given a drink Of wa
ter, and then the meal is fed on top of
the puiped roots. Sometimes the meal
and pulped roots are mixed a day in
advance of feeding, but either plan
seems to work well. Growing pigs.
four months old and over, receive the
same meal mixture as the sows, but
in the place of roots, they are fed the
refuse from the college kitchen. The
meal is fed dry to these also. Small
pigs are fed about equal parts of fine
ly ground oats and middlings, together
with skim milk when such is avail.
able. In this case the meal is mois-
tened with the milk. They are also
accustomed to eating roots, mangels
preferred. Our sows are turned into
large shed adjoining the piggery, for
few hours every afternoon. A very
little whole grain of some sort is scat
tered broadcast over the floor of the
shed to induce the sows to take exer.

During the week specified gath

what it cost to maintain the flock for

should represent the profit obtained.
Actually, / believed that the average
farmers family consumes eggs and
poultry enough to compensate for the
cost of keeping their flock, and that
all that is sold usually represents no
more than the real profit accruing
from the investment.

Destruction of Weeds.

Much interest has been shown at a.
number OF the agricultural experiment
stations in the possibility of weed de-
structlon by means of chemicals. AS
long ago as 1895 it was found at the
Vermont Station that the orange
haWkweed, a serious pest in pastures
and meadows, could be DESTROYED
without injury to the grass by sowing
salt over the land at the rate of 5000
pounds per acre. Many experiments
have since been conducted at the
same station with other chemicals for
the eradication of weeds in walks.
drives, courts, etc. Among the chemi.
Gals tested were salt, copper sulphate,
kerosene, liver-of-sulphur, carbolic
ac1ds arsenic and salsoda, arsenate of
soda, and two commercial weed kill.
ers, the active principle of which an.
parently was arsenic The weeds
which it was sought to destroy we're
plantains, dandelion, chicory, rag
weed, knotweed and various grasses.
All the chemicals were applied in so.
luton except the salt. AS in the case
of the hawkweed experiments, salt
was found efficient in destroying all
the weeds when applied dry and in
large quantity. When salt is used for
this purpose adjacent lawns should be
protected against washing, or they
may be injured. Crude carbolic acid
l pint in pints of water, applied at
the rate of gallons per square rod
was very efficient. The various ar
senical preparations proved valuable
as weed destroyers, and choice be
tween them was largely a matter Of
expense. All things considered, the
arsenate of soda and the carbolic acid
solutions proved the most valuable
chemicals for weed destruction unde,
the conditions of these experiments.

Cost of Feeding Hens.

From the Farmers Review: During
the last week in January of the year
now drawing to close weighed all
the grain and other kinds of feed my
flock of 205 chickens consumed and
estimated its value at what might
have been obtained for it in the local
market. Although the aggregate sum
amounted to more than one who had
never investigated the subject might
have expected, yet for each individual
it was surprisingly small. / selected
this particular time because I was
then feeding only mature stock and
because there was then nothing to be
obtained from outside sources. For
these reasons expected to be able to
make fair estimate of what it cost
me to keep my poultry during the
winter. The results quite agreed with
those obtained from former estimates
based upon similar investigations, and
felt justified in computing the en-.
tire years cost therefrom. OF rye ]
