Balanced Food for Swine.

While our hogs get plenty of corn
we go to considerable effort to furnish
them variety in the rations and try
to give it to them In such a way that
1t forms a balanced ration We are
believers in considerable soft food for
swine and consider ration of wheat
middlings and gluten meal with a small
portion of process oil meal feed that
will keep them in good weight and in
the finest condition. These grains are
mixed thoroughly and then skim milk
is used so that the mass is about like
thin porridge This our hogs get twice
daily with corn on the cob for the third
NEAL and something In the way of root
crops or good kitchen slOp in which is
mixed vegetable and fruit parings for
the in-between meal. This is the food
during the summer Except that the
corn is cut OUT as we'll as during the
winter. The range takes the place Of
the third meal of slop and vegetables,
but with these exceptions we try to
feed about the same the year round and
find that it pays.-Exchange

ANIMALS are fed oil meal, and that Is
their glossy coat and soft ska. There
is no better index to an animals gen.
eral condition than its coat. When an
animals coat IS glossy, you may be
sure his stomach is in good condition.
The best experiments with oil or lin
seed meal show it to be worth fully
twice as much rs wheat bran when fed
in connection with other feeds. 1t is
very rich in protein and is, therefore.

The Com bination Cow.
There is incesSant warfare between

the combination COW was called a GEN

cow, and now some one mas hit upon
the name given above. While the spe-
cialist Is right In some things, ne IS
wrong in others. Certainly the man
that Is producing milk with the idea of

the COW that will make it as cheaply
as possible, and this he will find among
the distinctly dairy cows. But there Is
a place for the combination COW. On
the high-priced land In Illinois and adj
joining States the man who is produc-
ing beef cattle Is learning that it Is I'm
possible to make money by producing
beef cattle alone. He must utilize the
milk giving power of his cows as much
as possible. Therefore, he wants a
cow with a beef form and deep powers
Of milk-giving. These kinds of cows
are In existence. They are not suitable
to go into the dairy, but are suitable
as an adjunct to beef making.-Farm-
