Good and Bad Feeding.

Presuming that a breeder has swine
OF first quality the feeding becomes a
question of great Importance 1t is
often remarked that this and that
breeder failed because he bought ami
mails of fancy breeding points and
then gave them scrub care. This is al
ways fatal mistake. The pure
bred animals have received many
backsets in reputation from this cause
Take any of our best strains of hogs
and let them De turned into a poor
feed lot and be given little grass and
much corn. A few generations of that
kind of feeding will give us a scrub
progeny with a good set of pedigrees.
That is case where the pedigree is
worth less than nothing. 1t is not
enough to know that an animal has a
good line of ancestors; it is necessary
also TO know how its immediate an
oestors have been d.-Farners' Re-

SOFT CORN FOR LIVE STOCK
Results of Tests at Iowa Experiment
Station Summarized in Very
Interesting Bulletin.

Much corn failed to mature fully in
SSO2 and 1903. The same. owing to very
bate planting, seems likely to be true
IN 1904. Hence the feeding value of soft
corn is live question. Tests at the

director, Ames, la. The following con-
illusions are deduced from the results
Dbtained:
l. That soft corn in 1902 and contain
sng 90 per cent. of moisture, pound for
pound, on a water-free, or dry-matter
basis, was fully equal in feeding value
TO mature corn grown in 1900 when used
Tor fattening cattle.
2 That cattle fed on such soft corn
made nearly as heavy gains and finished
rs well as those fol on mature corn.
J. That when soft corn similar to that
nsed in the test could be purchased for
80 cents per bushel. gains on fattening
cattle could be made at a cost of 500
cents per pound less than when mature
corn, costing 80 cents per bushel. the
prevailing price was fed
4. That study 0f the Chicago live
stock market conditions from January
u, 1903. to July 81. 1903. shows that the
comparatively low prices of beef cattle
were not caused by an over-supply of
half-fnished cattle. On the contrary,
there was larger number of well-fin-
dshed cattle marketed during that pc
Rod for 1903 than for the correspond
ing period of any one of the past ten
years
5. That the chemical analysis would
indicate that the nutritive value of
the corn grown in 1902 compares ia
yorably with mature corn grown in
other years when water-free substance
Or dry matter serves as a basis of COM
parison.

Early Maturity Means Profit

One of the features of the pig, which
is not sufficiently appreciated, is its
prolifcacy. While the horse, COW and
sheep, as a rule, produce but one or
two young annually, the pig may pro-
duce from 10 to "a, an enormous per-
centage of increase. To make the most
out of pork, the old style of keeping
pigs Is months or so before slaughter
ing is abandoned, and the animals are
being fitted for the block at six or eight
months The first 100 pounds of gain
made are the cheapest, the second 100
pounds cost more, and so on increas-
insly, as far as one chooses to go.
Economy would dictate, then, that GER
tainly when 200 pounds are reached the
animal should be disposed of and a
fresh start made with younger stock.
The best breed is one which natures
early, provided it is of good size

darts, they had penetrated the wood to
a depth of several inches.
Another Kansan said that a cyclone
once threatened to blow away load of
wood that lay in his yard. His father
threw himself on the wood in order to
anchor it to the ground with his weight
But the cyclone was too strong for the
old man. 1t bore away him and the wood
together, and astraddle of logs, he rode
like a horseman slowly through the air
He would, no doubt, have disappeared
forever, but his three sons rushed forth
and overlook him, and their combined
strength brought the old chap safely
down.
"A third Kansan told me that one sum-
mer such steady and strong wind blew
from the south that pithfork of hay
thrown against a southwark facing wall
would remain suspended against the wall
as though glued there. The wind held
the hay in place with pressure like tn at
of a mighty hand.
Il suppose that most cyclone stories
are untrue. Those concerning straws
that penetrate wood are, however, true
enough. To prove them straws have
been shot from guns at blocks of wood,
and at velocity of It's miles they have
penetrated the wood like darts of STEEL"

A PLATE OF PORK CHOPS

Corn should not be fed in large
amounts to breeding swine.
There is little reason why sows
should not bear two filters of pigs a
year, at least in the hands of a skill
full breeder
Swinekeepers of large experience say
that lousy hogs are much more likely
to take disease than hogs on which no
vermin exist.
After the pigs are weaned the dry
sows should be placed in a pasture by
themselves and given very little grain
for some time
Where herds of hogs are badly in
fected with lice the only serviceable
method of getting rid of them seems
to be to have dipping tank and dip
the hogs.
Sort the sows. Those that have
proved themselves to be prolific and
good mothers may he retained as
breeders, and those whose record has
not been frst-class should be dis
carded. 1t hardly pays to keep a bad
tempered SOW under the impression
that she may do better next time

KOCH DOES NOT RETRAcT.
Stands by His Guns in the Face Of
the Conclusions of a Very Pos
tive Commission.

The conclusions of the British COM
mission do not appear TO have fright
ened Prof Koch. who has opportunity
returned from South Africa to deal with
them. Through the London Daily
chronicle the world at large learns that
the professor sees no reason why he
should alter his views because of the re-
port issued by the tuberculosis COM
mission. His own words are most en-
phatic:
see absolutely no reason to change
my view, arrived at after years of care

oence to prove that man can be infected

London Meat Trades Journal, we have
repeatedly put on record in our col

IL any man, woman or child had ever
been certified as dying from tuber-
culosis caused by the ingestion of tu-
percuIous meat, We should have heard
OIL 1t long ago. But there is no such
record. The chief point we have to
bear in mind, however, is that in this
country practically there is no legisla-
ton satisfactorily dealing with the
scientific economical issues surround

this the meat trades of Great Britain
