ROUGH FEED FOR HOGS.
Animal Man Makes Many ohserva-
tons, and Gives Out Results Of
His Experiments.

George NJ Rommel, Of tho bureau o
animal industry of the United States
department of agriculture, has beer
making some very interesting obserya
tions for several years relative to ex
periments along the line of feed fo
hogs. Although the capacity of bull
found in cattle and sheep is general.
lacking in hogs. Mr. Rommels observa
tions show that hogs will thrive on
reasonable amount Of roughage.
The results of investigation conduct
ed by many experiment stations ar
given:
The Kansas experiment station ha!
reported a series of experiments witt
drought-resident crops. Three OF thes'
experiments had to do with alfaHs
hay. In the first place, the hogs USED
were of mixed breeding-Berkshire ane
Poland China-representing about thu
average of Kansas farm hogs. The al
falfa was of good quality.
Two lots were fed, one receiving thu
hay whole in greater quantity than i
would consume, the other having
ground hay. In the second test the
meal-fed lot received some cotton-seee
meal-O.16 pound to each pound Of
Kafir corn, which did not affect the
hogs seriously. This test was conduct
ed during the most severe weather o1
the winter, the thermometer register
ing 80 degrees F. below zero, February
II, ten days after the experiment be.
gan.
In the third test the grain was wet
with water at the time of feeding. The
alfalfa hay had been cut late and was
rather woody.
The Utah station fed one lat of hogs
on mixture of equal parts by weight
of chopped wheat and grain, wet. An
other lot had the same grain ration
with chopped alfalfa hay added. THE
alfalfa used was well cured and was
prepared by running through an ensi-
lage cutter, the blades of which are ar.
ranged for cutting into half-inch
lengths" The pigs were thrifty grade
Berkshires.
The Montana station fed three lots OF
hogs to compare the feeding values Of
q certain ration with sugar beets and
alfalfa hay as roughage with a ration
of grain only The lot on grain alone
received ration consisting, during the
early part of the experiment, OF two
parts of damaged wheat and one part
of oats, barley taking the place OF the
wheat during the latter part of the ex-
pertinent. The hay-fed lot had same
ration with alfalfa hay added. The al
falfa hay was run through cutting
box, moistened, and mixed with meal
The hogs were by Berkshire boar out
of high-grade Poland China sows. They
had previously had the run OF stub
BILE field, with some clover pasture.
The average of these experiments
show that 593 pounds of grain were re-
auired for 100 pounds of gain, when NO
hay was fed, and sos pounds of grain
and 80 pounds of alfalfa hay when hay
was fed, a saving of SO pounds OF grain
to be credited to the hay fed.

BARNARD Manure.

Barnyard manure is one Of the most
efficient means at the disposal of the
farmer to permanently improve his
soil. Probably no other fertilizer pos
sesses to SO great degree the power
of restoring worn soils to productive
ness and giving them lasting fertility.
One of the best ways to utilize barn
yard manure is to apply it in connec-
ton with fertilizing materials as sup
plement to its fertilizing constituents

FoxTAIL MILLET.
Several Varieties Of the Plant Are

Under the name of Japanese millets
several kinds g foxtail millet are be-

these millets are large in form and
yield heavily in seed and forage, un-

withstand drouth well, and when a
dry spell comes they yield to it quick

Good Drinking Fount.

A good drinking fount for little
chicks is made by filing shallow
crock or pan with pebbles about the
size Of hickory nuts or as large as
walnuts, and then filing with water.
The chicks can drink between the
pebbles, but cannot get wet or drown.
The vessels should be scalded out two
or three times a week.-Commercial
