TO make the most of it. First and
foremost of these supplementary feeds
is green forage. Many kinds Of plants
afford some Of the desired elements,
but the legumes, such as cloyers, al
falfa, field peas, etc, are the great
balancers for corn. Experiment has
proved that alfalfa pasture with corn
as an exclusive feed produced pork
considerably cheaper than when % per
cent shorts or rs per cent sximmilk
was fed. Alfalfa pasture seems to be
par excellence for Il hog. and it should
be grown where possible.
Glover is nearly as good feed for
hogs at all seasons rs alfalfa While
concentrates, such as shorts. tankage,
oilmeal, bonemeal etc. will nearly
always cheaper ard balance d corn or
other carbonaceons ration, it should be
borne in mind that far the cheapest
gains are made where pasture is the
main balancer Where some Of the
legumes are not found to be- adapted
rape will prove a profitable forage
plant and each acre of good rape is
worth ton of grain for hog feed.

Ensiiaae For Beef Cattle.

Angus COWS and to the young stock
and ii1tish out the steers on corn and
grass in The summer, writes nm Hi
nois breeder. We turn the cattle on
shock fodder until the middle of Jan
uary OF the lst OF February and then
give them ensilage and good oat straw
that has been thrashed into the barn
or hay, and il we have plenty Of ensi-
lage and other rough feed we do not
feed any grain Last year the snow
came early, so we ran short Of rough
feed and had to feed some corn, too
but II Is the first time for years that
anything but the steers and calves
were fed any grain.

SC0URS IN CALVES.
A Serious Complaint and One Difficult
TO Overcome

Scours or calf cholera is serious
complaint and very difficult to over
come, writes II. G. Van Pelt in the
Farm and Fireside.
1t is an infection caused by one of
two or three different specific germs
which gain access to the blood Of the
calves through some wound or broken
skin surface The germ is present
some place in the barns or lots. First
thoroughly clean and dislnfect all calf
pens, barns and sheds inhabited by the
calves Keep the calves out of mud or
wet stalls. These considerations are
incidental to the main preventions, but
must be given very careful attention.
1t will be found hard fight, and every
precaution must be taken in a thorough
manner.
The main operation in preventing the
disease is to watch closely for the
string soaked In a solution of creolin
or Iysol, and just as soon as young
ster Is born thoroughly battle and dis
infect the umbillcal cord and tie the
string tightly around the cord close to
the body. This is the usual source of
infection.
Without these precautions the dis
ease will probably never be eliminated,
but where all Of them are carefully OBJ
served, and especially the latter, the
trouble will soon die out The infec-
ton is not caused by the feed. The
writer has always found that to pre-
vent scours in young calves an excel
lent plan is to feed teaspoonful of
blood -four, which can be purchased d.
rect from the packers, III each feed Of
milk given to each calf

the cause Of the trouble. If so, above

Wounds In iorses' Feet.

If the horse steps ON nan do not
pour turpentine in the puncture. Such
treatment only tends to increase the
pain and Inflammation. Always bear
in mind that the foot cannot swell like
other parts TO accommodate itself to
the results Of Inflammation. This IL
the reason that punctures or injuries
to the feet are so painful. Soothing
treatment is always recommended.
Enlarge the opening made by the nail
with knife completely through the
sole Of the foot and apply hnseed meal
or bran poutice every twenty-four
hours but not poultice longer than
three days at time, for If prolonged
too much softcning Of the hoof is like
~ to be the result, The shoe should
in all cases be removed and the horse
given complete rest and reduced diet
until recovery takes place

As | recall, the experiences in mid.

trying than they have been in cold

be ready to wean when grass comes,
and their mothers will be ready for
another litter good while before fall.
1t should be noted that rearing pigs in
winter is more trying ON the constitu-
ton Of the sow than in spring or sum-

HORSES IN WINTER.


The problem of feeding work horses
is doubtless of as wide interest as any
problem in live stock management,
writes L. G. Johnson in Farm and
Ranch. Practically all farmers, no
matter what particular branch of
farming they are engaged in, have oc-
casion to feed work horses, and it mat
tiers not whether feeds are high or low
IT always pays best to feed such food
as is best for the animal the ones
that are most efficient and economical.

HOGS THRIVE ON
GREEN PASTURES,

Many a man has made money in
feeding cheap feed who would fail abb
solutely If the value Of his feed in
or ased 40 cents per bushel.
The reason for this is that The real
cost of production is not known to
him, and he is constantly wasting feed,
but does not know 1t, He is making
some profit and does not see any ne
cessity In figuring any closer. The
hog grower Of the present faces a con
dition that demands his closest atten-
ton and most intelligent application.
How to produce pound Of pork at
the least possib" cost that is the
question. OF course corn is still the
staple and cheapest hog feed, but 1t
must be supplemented by other feeds

men with the push, but San Francisco

"A trip through the west convinces even
the casual observer that the country is
growing, for not only are settlers flocking
to the west to till the soil, but all the big
cities are growing fast. These all show
that 1t is men who decide whether a town
