SIDE BONES IN DRAFTERS.
Cartilage Above the Heel Counts
Against Heavy Horses.


Look out for side bones on the draft
horse. says George McKerrow. a Wis
tonsin breeder. Foreign buyers have
Deen more particular than Americans
on the question Of side bones, and it
is only a few years since some of our
best judges in America have been
looking out for side bones at all.
1t is said that only a few years ago
a judge who has considerable reputa-
ton as hOrseman in this country was
Judging at western state fair. An
exhibitor whose horse had been turned
down to second place objected that the
Judge had put the first prize upon a
horse with side bones, and 1t is said
that the judge went over to the first
prize horse and began to feel along his
ribs, and he said. This horse has no
side bones" | saw another judge who
was called down in the same way by
placing the first prize on a horse that
had side bones. and he went to feeling
for the splints just below the knee on
the inside Of the leg, and he found
none
The side bone is just above the heel
Of the horse. 1t is mere cartilage. 1t
is put into the heel we believe, to
i've SpringineSs, to save Inflammation
there when the horse works and trav-
els. Now. on low heels and especially
on heavy horses, they put good deal
of weight on the heels; they get fever
lsh there and Inflammation sets in.
These cartilages harden and become
bone in the effort of nature to mend up
the little strain or make good the work
Of Inflammation there. and when they
are bony and hard you have a horse
that to some extent will get sore as
he works. You can see 1t in the gait.
ard you can find 1t when you take
hold Of those cartllages and try to
move them.

SWINE ON ALFALFA.
Methods of Various Western Breeders
In Feeding This Crop.

Our Colorado people years ago came
to the Understanding that there IS no
better forage crop for hogs than alfal-
fa saws Denver Field and Farm. One
man estimates that ii takes from one
half 10 one-third less corn on alfalfa
pasture than on straight grain ration
to make hog ready for market. Many
farmers let the hogs run on alfalfa un-
i'll they are six months old, by which
| time they reach a weight of seventy
| five to 12J pounds, feeding just little
| grain. Then they feed heavily for
about two months and sell the hogs
at eight months old weighing 200 to
22:J pounds. One farmer who raises
about a thousand hogs annually and
who in one year sold S11,200 worth of
hogs makes a practice Of raising his
swine on alfalfa pasture until about
eight months old, feeding one ear Of
corn Il head daily He then feeds corn
heavily for month or two and sells
at an average weight of 200 to 225
pounds.
Another man feeds all the corn and
slop the pigs will clean up, all the
while running them on alfalfa pasture,
and sells at six to eight months old at
weights of go to 300 pounds. An
other. who raises about a thousand
head a year. feeds all the corn the
pigs will eat beginning shortly after
weaving and continuing until the pigs |
ire sold at ten to eleven months old, |
averaging 27j pounds. Still another
armer. from weaving time = two
months old-until eight months old
eeds the pigs nothing but dry corn
N alfalfa pasture, averaging about 312
pounds a day for each head. At the
nd of eight months he sells at an
veraCe weight of $50 pounds. The
uantity of corn fed is about eleven
uShels for each head.
While alfalfa pasture has been found
cry valuable for hogs, the hay as a
art ration for winter is scarcely less
nportaut. Throughout this whole
'eStern region the farmers make a ,
ractice Of feeding hay to hogs s
the winter. The hay has s
cen found especially valuable for
rocd suws before farrOwing. When
II during winter only a small ration s
grain is necessary to keep the sows r
coed flesh and in healthy condition.
ows thus fed also farrOw good litters
strong, healthy pigs. Many feed
le hay by throwing 1t on the ground
f"rkfulS. Others have made low q
"kS. in which the hay IS placed, r
om which the hogs can feed like cat 9
. or sheep. 8
The hay is usually fed dry The v
ayes are more readily eaten by the a
rs than the stems, and they con- +
in more Of the nutritive value of the Z
ant. For these reasons some farm =
5 save the last cutting Of hay for the s
,gS because 1t is more relished.
