It must be admitted that to succeed

why any feeder of farm stock should
buy mixed grains Is more than one can
understand unless he is too lazy to do
the mixing himself Time was when
screenings were just what was claimed
for them, the smaller grains which
dropped. through the sieves when
screening was done for the first grade
of grains. Now screenings are quite
likely to be the sweepings from the
mill floors and contain anything from
nails to tobacco quids. Any of the
grains used for feeding stock Of any
kind can be bought without mixture
and one can tell by examination If
they be reasonably pure. They cost
some more than the mixed feeds, to be
sure, but they are the cheapest in the
end. for less has to be fed.
OF all the bad mixed feeds the
ground feeds are the worst, for in this
state it is practically impossible to
know what is in the mixture, that is.
for the ordinary observer to ascertain.
In feeding poultry. it has been demon.
strated, time and again. that it pays
to pay twenty-five per cent. more for
the grains by themselves than to feed
the mixtures bought in that FORM

But a man with small intellect, with

only be by chance if he should make

Skim Milk and growing Pigs.


The cost of growing pork in Canada,
according to the Ontario Station, is
given by the head of the station as
four and one-half cents from two
months old pigs till they are about
seven months old, when grain fed. He
says: Our experiments go to show that
by judicious use of skim milk in con
nection with the grains pr meals we
are able to produce a pound of pork
for from one cent to one and one-half
cent less than where the meals alone
are used Our experience with the
raising of pigs has been that we can
keep good sow in perfect condition
a year round for S15. Estimating the
meal at one cent per pound S15 will
keep that SOW q year, including cost of
pasture and allowing so much for
cost of building and everything else.
barring the labor, which is not iuclud
ed. From the average SOW we may
anticipate eight pigs, if she produces
only one litter. and that reduces the
cost of the young pig below 81. If she
gives two litters. it costs somewhere
around 81 per pig. We may say 81 q
pig. If you add S1.50 pig to 81,
which we say is the cost of 200
pound pig, you get 50, and the very
lowest price we have got this year
has been SO. There is still 81 clear
profit and the manure, and the manure
that comes from the pig is of very
superior quallty.-Indiana Farmer.
