Soy Beans For Hogs.


The Wisconsin Agricultural Exper-
iment Station compared soy bean
meal and wheat middlings for pork
production in three separate expert
ments in as many years. Two-thirds
of the grain ratio was cornmeal in
each case. In each of the experi-
ments the largest gains were made on
the soy bean rations. Soy beans
proved about ten per cent. superior
to wheat middlings for pork produc-
ton, figuring the cost of the feeds as
the same.
The Indiana Agricultural Experi-
ment Station compared rations OF two
parts of cornmeal and one part of soy
bean with cornmeal and wheat mid
dlings in equal proportions and with
five parts of cornmeal and one part OF
tankage for pork production. The
soy bean ration produced the largest
daily gains. and this with the smallest
quantity of feed consumed for each
pound of gain.
The Kansas Agricultural Expert
ment Station has several times tested
the value of soy bean in combination
with cornmeal and with kafir meal in
comparison with the two latter feeds
alone in feeding hogs. The feeds
were mixed in the proportion of four
fifths corn or kafr and one-ffth soy
beans. Larger gains. varying from
thirteen to thirty-seven per cent,
were made in every case on the mixed
rations than on corn or kafir alone.
With cornmeal alone 100 pounds
of gain cost s3.92. with cornmeal and

Getting a better sire to head the

you to consider the high-bred sire a

Grind the Corn For Finishing Pigs.

Fattening hogs will usually finish
faster on cornmeal than on shelled
corn, and many farmers favor corn
meal for that reason. Experiments
covering the quantity fed plainly
show, however, that hogs given corn
meal eat more feed in a given time
than those on shelled corn. When
both the feed eaten and the gains
made are taken into consideration the
profit in favor OF cornmeal is consid-
erably less than many suppose. Corn
and cob meal has been shown to have
about the same value as pure corn
meal; If any advantage is had from
corn and cob meal, rs is claimed by
some stockmen, it, no doubt, largely
comes from the bulk furnished by
the particles Of cob. which by render
ing the contents of the stomach less
compact or more porous helps to their
easier and more complete digestion.

The Lordly William.

When the pigs are in the fodder
and the fodder in the pigs,
Then the farmer rides in auto
and in other lordly rigs
There's a rich Wagnerian music
in the grunt and in the squeal
When the pudgy porcine treasure
ambles gayly to its meal.
And the ultimate consumer in his
pocket wildly digs
When the pigs are in the fodder
and the folders inatfc pigs.
When the hen is on the caciSle
and the egg is in the nest,
Then the farmer strokes his whis-
kers with a JOY all unexpressed
And he reads the market columns
and he huns a merry lay
While he crates the precious doz-
ems to be hustled on their way.
O, his wife shall have her bonnet
Of the very, very best,
When the hen is on the cackle an
the egg is in the nest.
When the beeves are in the stock
car and the packer writes his
check
Then the farmer buys another
quarter-section-yes, by heck
And he doesn t care for gold
bricks and he won't stand for
a josh,
And hethinl1s he II run for office,
and he doesn't say "b gosh. "
He is sitting with four aces, and
he's drawing from the deck,
When the beeves are in the stock
car and the packer writes his
check.
When the milk is in the bucket
and the butter S in the churn,
Then the erstwhile humble farme
has a stack Of wealth to burn.
He is planning trips to Europe,
and he s bought a phonograph,
With a record quoting prices that
are bound to make him laugh.
