MIztakes In. Feeding Hogs.

j. i, Stratton before the Farmers
Institute of Franklin county, Kansas
gave the following twentyone mistakes
in ieeding hogs:
/. it is a mistake for one mex
perienced to undertake the feeding vi
hogs unless he expects to make a
study of it,and improve upon his mis-
takes
2. 1t is mistake for the city far
mer, living in town, to trust the feed
ing Of his hogs to the average hired
man. He is not likely to make a
success of it.
8. 1t is mistake to try to raise
hogs on one exclusive diet, You ask
what kind Of feed to give them. !
will ask what kind of feed can be
produced on your farm and in your
locality, then give them variety of
|Sit. These feeds should be given in
such relation to each other as to meet
the varied needs of the swine system.
4. 1t is a mistake to forget the hog
Is grazing animal.
rs. 1t is q mistake If the hog is not
fed in clean place, free from both
dust and mud.
6. 1t is mistake to overfeed or
underfeed.
4 Occasionally 1t Is mistake not
TO feed the liquid before the solid
food
s. 1t is a mistake to feed constipat-
ing food and nothing to correct It,
9. 1t is a mistake to feed breeding
stuff as If you were fitting for the
market.
10. 1t Is a mistake to feed all sizes
together. whenever the smaller ones
are to a disadvantages
IL. 1t is a mistake not to provide
The herd with comfortable quarters at
MI times Failure in this will impair
he usefulness Of the feed
IL. 1t is a mistake not to grow the
pigs rapidly from birth to market.
They should gain every pound possible
pn the way.
13. It is /. mistake to feed the
brood SOW much corn before farrow-
ng. she should have cooling and laxi-
i've foods
IA. 1t IS q mistake to feed her heav-
ly for some days after narrowing.
15. II Ii mistake to feed her,pigs

lat.
16. II Is q mistake to fail to feed
lie pigs bone and muscle forming MAJ
erIals during their growth.
II. II is mistake to try to feed
both the pig or hog and the worms

Food Value Of MIX.

The food value of milk is brought
out forcibly in a recent pamphlet writ
ten by Prof. ]. B. Lindsey of the
Massachusetts, College of Agriculture
and published by the State Board OF
Agriculture.
Milk Of average quality at market
prices furnishes more food for the
money than do more expensive kinds
of meat, such as beef. mutton, and
pork, and is much cheaper than such
special foods as eggs or. oysters, or
most vegetables and fruits. Only
breakfast foods, etc. are cheaper
sources of energy than milk, A glance
at Professor Lindsey's table shows
that milk at six cents a quart fur
nishes the same amount of protein as
round beef at sixteen cents or roast
pork at twelve cents. That Is to say,
a dollars worth of either of these
foods contains an equal amount of pro-
tein. Even where milk is sold as high
as ten cents per quart, dollar will
buy as much protein when spent for
milk as If spent for lamb chops at
twenty-five cents per pound sirloip
beef at thirty cents, or eggs at thirty
six cents per dozen.
Professor Lindsey thinks milk
should occupy a larger place in daily
diet than is ordinarily given. In ex-
Deriments at the Maine State College
it was found that when the students
we're allowed free use Of milk the ex-
ira milk consumed replaced the other
animal food to a nearly corresponding
extent, and the milk diet was not only
less costly than the meat, but was fully
as satisfactory. When skim-milk is
used the food value is obtained at
even less cost since the value as food
does not depend very much on the
cream, and at the price at which it
Is valued in most country districts,
about one-half cent quart. 1t is one
Of the very cheapest foods, and can
be used to advantage in place Of water
in cooking, adding greatly to the value
Of the foods with which it is mixed
Hardly any food returns 50 much Of
its foodvalue because there Is no loss
In cooking and no waste It IL pala-
table. easily digested. and according
to Professor Lindsey Is entitled to be
cIassed among the most economical
human foods.
