Profit In Late Fall Pics.

Some hog growers claim that late fall
pigs are not worth caring for, and they
advise killing them at birth. However,
in this era of high prices of hogs it is
likely that farmers will be slow about
killing young pigs even if they do
come at an unfavorable season. Pigs
can be made to grow rapidly in the
dead of winter, but it takes careful
treatment. Their quarters must be
kept dry, and they should be kept well
sheltered from storms. A few years
ago I fed litter of November pigs,
and they made quite as good growth
as the spring pigs, says an experienced
swine grower. They and their mother
were kept separated from the other
hogs and were provided with warm,
dry sleeping quarters. They were fed
middlings mixed with ground corn and
buckwheat Then shelled few ears
of corn for them to eat after they had
consumed the ground feed. These
pigs grew right along and were nearly
as profitable as earlier pigs.

Roots For Swine

Roots have been fed to hogs expert
mentally by different experiment sta
tons, notably by the Utah, Ohio and
Indiana stations, and also by the CEN
trail experiment farm of Canada. In
most of these experiments there was
quite percentage gained by the feed
ing Of roots. In compiling some Of the
feeding trials Professor Henry shows
that 615 pounds of roots would save
100 pounds of grain. 1t must be kept
in mind that roots should not be fed in
any very large way, for the reason
that they produce watery carcass. I
should say that the feeding Of one or
two ordinary rutahagas or one large
mangold day would be plenty Of this
kind Of food. The hog naturally de-
mands concentrated diet, and, Of
course, roots are just the opposite Of
being communicates S. Plumb.

Ration With Malt Sprouts,

Henry in his book, Feeds and Feed
ing" says that because they will alb
sorb so much water malt sprouts
should be soaked some hours before
feeding. If fed in connection with
silage this may not be absolutely nee
essary. A trial for a few days would
determine the point
1t would make better ration to add
ground corn or barley to the sprouts
and bran. TO three pounds of the dry
sprouts add four pounds Of ground
corn and three pounds of bran and
feed one pound for each three and one
half pounds of milk produced. In ad-
dition. give each COW thirty to thirty
five pounds Of silage daily and all the
hay she will eat.

Dairy Essentials.

The four essentials to healthful dairy
buildings are light, ventilation, prop
er floor and a comfortable tie. Win
dow glass Is almost as cheap as lum-
Der. The King system Of ventilation
can be installed by any carpenter or
by the farmer himself at the cost of
a few feet Of lumber and a few days
work. A cement floor is but little
more expensive than good wood
floor and is many times more durable.
Planks laid over the cement where
the COWS stand will prevent injury to
the animals. A comfortable tie Is only
a little more expensive than an awk-
ward rigid stanchion. A good swing
stanchion is not uncomfortable to the
cow. All of these things could be put
into the ordinary barn with but little
trouble and would pay for themselves
in less than year in the increased
efficiency Of the herd.-Illinois Expert

KEEPING HOGS HEALTHY

Last March bought fifty-four late
fail pigs averaging seventy-five pounds

at $3.50. averaging 23JJ pounds. They
were mostly DulUc-Jerseys and Pc

forty days and then Were turned on

enough corn to make them grow nicely.
They did well right along and were not

My success in keeping hogs thrifty
is largely due, believe, to the use Of
a tonic made of equal parts of air
slaked lime, salt and oilmeal. This
is fed in a self feeder close to the
watering trough. The most important
thing is to have plenty of good drink
ing water for the hogs. For brood sows

Out of Balance,

If anybody wants to really know the
effect of lack Of balance on horse
let him walk on the toe Of one foot for
half day. The next day he will re-
alize what it means to be thrown out
Of balance, and he will see that his
horses are so shod as to prevent them
from becoming unbalanced. He will
also realize the necessity Of caring for
the feet Of his colts so that they stand
level, as nature intended. The feet of
young horses are often allowed to be-
come badly shaped, and the whole leg
is, of course, thrown out Of its true
line. Look after the feet of the year

Brood Mares Ir Winter.

Brood mares during the winter pre-
Eious to foaling if not worked daily
should be kept in an open yard shell
tered from storms. Daily exercise is
very important to them DUNG this pc
Rod. Mares that are not in the har-
ness during the winter should have
free access to rack filed with fresh
straw or hay. with few ears of corn
daily. This is an economical as well
as a safe way to feed mares during
the winter.

Hog Wisdom.


Prepare warm, dry, but venti-
lated quarters for the brood
sows and do it now. Cold
storms will be here before we
are ready for them.
Every hog raiser should own a
dipping plant. 1t keeps away
lice and disease too. One good,
big dead hog will pay for a dip
ping plant nowadays.
Young sows TO be bred this
winter should not be placed
with fattening hogs, but kept in
separate lot or pasture.
Fall pigs after weaving should
be given good feed to keep them
growing when cold weather sets
in. Pumpkins will be good
feed for pigs in early winter.
Feed them shorts daily in their
slop while they are growing.
The brood SOW needs a mixed
diet with plenty Of food rich in
protein. Early maturity is i'm
portant in a profitable hog.
It's false economy TO feed corn
alone to the hogs.

Kindness an Asset,

Sheep and other nervous animals
which are being fattened for market
should be kept as quiet as possible or
their feed will not do them the most
good. The more you handle all the
live stock in gentle and confiding
way the better they will do.

FODDER CORN AS A

corn belt during the next few months.
1t is so high in prize that it is doubt
full if it can be fed even to fattening
steers at profit Of course where
there is no other roughage on hand il
must be fed, but our opinion is that
there was more corn fodder put in the
shock this year than has been the case
for many day, and we know of no
better use to which part of this fed
der can be put than to feed it to young
as well as aged horses, says the Iowa
Homestead. Concerning the value Of
corn fodder for horses of all kinds,
Professor Henry int his work on
"Feeds and Feeding" says:

permit of only small nubbius' forming

The Care of Sheep.

Keeping sheep is much like
keeping bees or poultry. Unless
the owner is willing to attend to
the little points at the proper
time he had better not attempt
it, for a little neglect often re-
suits IN sufficient loss to make
the profit minus quantity. How
ever. the care Of sheep involves
