Feeding For Bacon.

Brief statements are made by the
Orange River. South Africa. Colony De
partmcnt of Agriculture regarding the
pigs kept ut the Tweespruit Expert
mental farm and feeding test under
taken with reference to the production
of bacon hos( is reported.
Four lots containing four large York :
shire hogs each were used, and the ra-
tions consisted of separator skim milk
and maize neal, buttermilk and maize
meal, and skim milk and Kafr corn
meal i'm each case 3 Il, and wheat mid
dllngs (sharps) and maize meal / g,
mixed to a slop with water. In the
forty-hine days of the test the gain
rarged from 66.25 pounds per head on
the wheat middlings and maize meal. to
SIS pounds on skim milk andmaize meal.
The gain was most cheaply m:tde on
the llast mentioned ration and was most
expensive on the Kafr corn ration.
The shrinkage In dressing averaged 20
per cent of the 1--we weight, and when
marketed "the meat gave entire sat
isfaction as to quality anG flavor" and
was regarded as superior to imported
bacon.

suits would not have been obtained
with ordinary Kafir or unimproved
pigs, but even at a much lower rate

sheen Industry i'm Kansas.

Indiana, Ohio and Illinois do not
have all the troubles in sheep growing.
One Of the professors of the Kansas
Agricultural college calls attention to
the fact that Kansas has fallen down
greatly in the list of sheep-growing
States, in the last fifteen years, and it
norv ranks only thirteenth among the
States in this industry. He says the
reason is to be found in the large dis
proportion of dogs to sheep, the dogs
numbering 173,000 TO $4,000 of sheep
in the State. He anaintains that there
is more profit in sheep than in any
other kind of live stock in Kansas, and
one reason is that they are so excellent
in keeping up soil fertility, scattering
the manure they make perfectly over
the fields. He adds:
Money invested in sheep will nearly
double itself in one year, since the
fleece will pay for the feed and care
of the sheep, and the lambs, often two
per eve, are the profit. 1t is estimated
that you can keep ten sheep where you
can keep one COW, and the risk becomes
much less. The sheep always carries
her pocketbook with her. If she dies.
her pelt pays funeral expenses. If she
lives. her wool in the spring and her
lambs in the fall pay double revenue.
No other stock pays rs large a per-
eantage of clear profit on the money
invested"

The Cost of Eggs.

If eggs are high in winter, Ii is be
cause they cost more in that season.
AS has been frequently affirmed in
these columns, eggs cost but little or
nothing in summer, If the hens are on
range, and will then pay even if
prices are low. If eggs are 30 cents a
dozen. the real food" material costs
the consumer about % cents a pound.
but when eggs are ID cents a dozen the
consumer gets about pa pounds of food
material for % cents. But in both
cases the farmer sends away the same
proportion of material from his farm !:
and, whether the hen picks the food
up herself or is given her share by her
owner. the loss of that much value
from the farm occurs. But, again, the
hen OH the range utilizes materials that
the farmer can not sell. a dainty
young weed. piece of bone, insects,
seeds. grass and refuse thrown away
are all made to do service by the hens,
converting them into eggs. 1t will pay
in winter to save food by keeping the
hens warm. If they are not well shell
tered more corn will be necessary to
heat their bodies. Shelter is not real
ly food, but it generally serves TO
economiZe in its use for preventing the
waste of corn in the form of heat.

after purchase by the government.
Last October, when the army of Gu
han pacification was being embarked
from Newport News, Va, many of the
army horses and mules awaiting ship
ment became mixed with those of 9th
er organizations, but it only needed
the knowledge of Sergeant Casey to de-
cipher the hoof brands and dispatch
the animals to their proper organiza-
lions. In other words, these brands
serve as identification tags"
Branding public animals is not a
matter OF choice, but is provided for
by the army regulations, which direct
that public animals shall, upon the
day received, be branded with the let
ters u. s. on the left foreshoulder.
Horses assigned to organizations will
also be branded on the hoof of one
forefoot, one and one-half inches below
the coronet, with the designation of
the company. Branding irons of uni
form size and design will be supplied
by the quartermaster's department.

The Pedigree Alone Won't No.

The pedigree is all right in itself in
selecting breeding stock of what ever
kind. In cattle breeding is. perhaps.
more neglected than in ether kinds.
In word of caution on breeding Prof
Boss. OF the Minnesota Station. says TO
young breeders that beginners in live
stock breeding seem to expect the pedi-
gree of an animal TO make up for lack
of feed. poor quarters. and poor man
agement. This. of course. will not do.
but well bred pig. If given good care
and comfortable quarters. will unques-
tionably give better returns for the
money invested than any number of
scrubs can do.
Many breeders overlook the fact that
in stock breeding like produces like. "
just as surely from poor individuals as
from good ones. This Is evidenced by
the number of scrubby individuals that
are often seen in breeding herds, TO be
sold to some one who sends mail or
der. 1t is a matter of doubt whether
or not the scrubby pure bred Is more
likely to bring scrubby offspring. than
is even the scrub without pedigree
The fact that the good lines have been
concentrated for some generations and
that an effort has been made to keep
the animal pure in breeding emphasizes
the likelihood of like begerting like. and
scrubby pure breeds are the result un.
less the inferiority of the parent is
due to poor care rather than poor
breeding.
The pure bred pig that is scubby Is
likely to be cause of damage in the
breeding herd of the owner. and to in
jure the reputation of any breed witch
may be unfortunate enough to possess
animals of this description. The only
pure bred pig that sbculd be used as
the --reeder is the one that is good as
an individual and whose ancestry have
been good individuals. AL. others
should be consigned to the packer.
