common Sense in the Animals Ration

Disease germs are responsible for
many of$the ills which animal flesh
is heirto. There are many forms
of ailment, however, due to germs
that might be warded off if common
sense were a larger ingredient in
the ration.
The subject is called to mind at
this time by a recent experience of
an extensive swine breeder. This
individual had a bunch of 200 grow
ing pigs that were beiug taken
through the summer largely on
grass, together with small amount
Of mill feed daily After a time he
grew tired of continually paying
out money for mill feed and decided
that his corn was ready to feed. He
therefore turned into one of his
fields and snapped out large-sized
load of corn ard shoyeled it over the
fence into the pasture where the
hogs were running. The next day
a similar dose was given, and this
was kept up for some time after
wards.
What was the result? In this
instance it cost the man practically
his entire herd. The new corn
threw their blood out of condition,
thus laying the best possible
foundation for disease germs to get
into their work. There was cholera
in the neighborhood, but as this
was an especially thrifty bunch be
fore they were corned it was not
feared in this instance. Many of
the pigs were afflicted at first with a
high fever, and later on genuine
cholera started in and did it's dead
ly work. They were too youngsaea
too lean to market, so that t4a
healthy animals could not bssdais
posed of, and the bunch today nula.
bers less than ten.
In the opinion of this breeder the
new corn was the cause of all the
trouble. 1t is not a matter of sur
prise that green corn does moi
stand very yshigh.in the esteem of the
average swine breeder, but we are
frank to say that it has been its
abuse more than Its use that has
brought it into disfavor. AS sud
den a change Of food as the one
described above, no matter of what
it is composed, is enough to throw
any farm animal out Of condition
Corn is naturally somewhat heating
and is possibly a little more liable te
do damage than foods richer il
transforming constituents; but, al
stated before, any food supplied il

sla.hins of salads,


Too many people who are we'll bred

of the solecism-to call 1t by the mild
est name-of cutting up their salad on
the plate. OF course salad has some
times to be reduced to lower dimen-
sions, SO to speak, but 1t need not b,,
done by the wholesale or quite in the
businesslike fashion practiced by
some. Grasping knife in one hand
and for!. in the other, they slash
away at the lnoffensive green stuff
with vigor and noise Of a miniature
moving machine until the bruised
leaves are converted into shrcds of
their former selves. There is common
sense in the convention that prohibits
such course. Nearly all green salads
are broken into pieces of convenient
size before sending to the table. Even
when these are too large the leaf
should be quietly divided with n fork.

this sudden manner would do harm.
ltwould have paid this individual
handsomely to have taken ten days
or two weeks to accustom these hogs
to green corn. If they were worked
up gradually there would be little
danger from putting them on afull
feed after month or five weeks of
feeding. If the hogs referred to
had never been heated up" as was
the case by this sudden supplying
of corn, the probabilities are that
the cholera germ would never have
been propagated in the herd. We
do not say that the healthy, vigorous
animal will not take cholera, but we
do say that the disease is not so
liable to break out in a healthy
herd as it is in one that is fed
systematically, as was the case in
this instance.
What is true in this case Of hogs
is also true with cattle and even
horses. Low feeding is much better
than high feeding in this instance,
although at all times this paper is
an exponent of liberal feeding.
Even should one escape disease st
the end OF one or two months feed
ing, much better results will be
brought about if few weeks are
taken to get the animals OH feed
than if they are suddenly put on a
new and heavy ration. The time
lost in the start will be more than
made up in the end, and there is
the additional advantage of not run.

Shorts For Pigs.
An Iowa subscriber writes:

An Iowa subscriber writes:
II would like some advice about
feeding bunch of last falls pigs
which weigh about $50 pounds now.
! want to get them fat as soon as
possible. | have pleanty of old corn,
Will it pay me to buy shorts at $2l
a ton, or feed corn alone? If I feed
shorts, what is the best way to feed
it? Is it better to shut these pigs
up in dry lot, or shall l lot them
continue in the pasture? The latter
is mostly timothy. Will it be better
to shuck and shell the corn? l also
have a bunch of ninety spring pigs
that want to keep going. l have
been feeding them soaked corn and
some milk. I have not tried shorts.
Will it pay to mix some shorts in the
slop? They have good timothy and
blue grass pasture. | can get sweet
corn cobs at the canning factory.
Are they good for pigs? Some say
they make pigs mouths sore.'
Shorts is an excellent feed for
pigs, but at the price named, $2l a
ton, it is costly. 1t is doubtful
whether 1t will pay our correspon-
don't to use worry much shorts with
corn for his fattening hogs. The
object in feeding shorts is to bal
ance the corn, and we think either
tankage or oil meal will in this case
be- found cheeper for this purpose.
Judging from its protein contents,
oil meal is worth about two and
one. half times as much as shorts.
On the basis therefore Of $2l ton
for shorts, our correspondent could
afford to pay about $50 ton. for
|oil meal, considering the value Of
protein each contains, and this is the
proper basis onwhich to value these
purchased by-products. Our cor
respondent can doubtless buy oil
meal in the neighborhood of $50 per
ton, and it will pay him to do this
rather than to feed much shorts at
s2l. Or, if he can buy tankage at
$35 ton, that will be better value
for the money than oil meal at $50,
to be fed with corn to pigs.
To the younger pigs he can better
afford to feed a small amount of
shorts. A nice ration for these
would be ten parts of corn. two
parts of shorts, and one part oil
meal or tankage. There would not
be much feeding value in green corn
cobs for pigs.-Wallace's Farmer.
