The Feeding Of Live Stock.-An authority
| on this subject says the profitable feeding Of
| live stock is one of the main features of farm
| ing, yet farmers are so accustomed to feeding
| certain foods that they will not readily change
| from one kind to another; although there is
| such thing as feeding an abundance while
the animal is really insuficiently supplied.
| For example, corn is deficient in lime, though
rich in oil and starch. Hogs that are fed most
| " on corn become weak because there are in
| sufficient bone-forming elements in the food
and it has been the case that whole herds have
| died, apparently from disease, when in fact
the animals simply demanded proper foods:
| In one case, where farmer lost number of
hogs and had attributed the cause to "hog
| cholera" all remedies failed until one of the
hired men happened to try wood ashes. At
| once an improvement was noticed, and soon
| the so called disease was conquered. The fact
| was that wood ashes contain large proper
| ton of lime, as well a. certain percentage of
phosphates, thus supplying the animals with
something that could not be procured from
/ the corn, and yet every farmer should under
stand such fact, though many of them will not
devote their attention in that direction. 1t is
not at all necessary for any farmer to feed
wood ashes to swine. When hog shows a
desire for wood ashes the evidence is produced
that the feed is deficient in lime and phos-
pilates. Hogs consume wood ashes because
they do not receive something better.
