RATIONS FOR
MANY SEASONS
Generally Speaking Feeds Proc
duced on Farm Contain Excess
of Carbonaceous Matter
and Is Wasted.
(By A. ]. LEGG.)

In the summer season when the
animals are allowed the range of the
pasture they can, in measure at
least, balance their own rations.
81 Some feeders aim at a maintenance
ration only during the winter season
and depend for profit during the
summer. Others feed for growth or
production during the winter.
In the maintenance ration there is
no profit or no gain during the winter
and the feed is consumed in keeping
the animal alive.
If a feed is used that contains an
excess of carbonaceous matter the ex-
cess practically is wasted. Upon the
other hand If an excess of protein is
contained in the feed this excess is
wasted.
Generally speaking the feeds pro-
duced on the farm contain an excess
of carbonaceous matter and it be-
comes necessary to use some of the
concentrates to balance.
Corn has a nutritive ratio of / to g.,
wheat and oats have a nutritive ratio
of near to 6, buckwheat has a nutri-
tive ratio of to Z.
A we'll balanced ration for horse
is near i to s, for milch cows to 5,
for a hog to 5. Then the ash or
mineral contents of a feed should
have some consideration. An animal
must have some mineral matter in
its ration in order to grow and main
tain strong framework.
Corn is very deficient in mineral
matter Digester tankage is very rich
in both protein and mineral matter
and it is one Of our best materials for
balancing a hog ration.
Wheat bran, cotton seed meal and
oil meal, all are much richer in both
protein and mineral matter than the
whole grain. The protein and mineral
matter contained in them make these
feed stuffs valuable for both mich
COWS and young growing animals.

The piggery, Of which a ground
floor plan is shown herewith, is the
latest acquisition at The Cedars look
ing to the comfort Of the animals and
their attendant, writes w. H. Fisher
of Franklin county, Ohio, in the
Breeders Gazette. The building runs
north and south, so that the sun
shines into each compartment at some
hour Of the day. The dimensions are
zS feet 10 inches by 81 feet four
inches and the studding is IA feet. A
glance at the floor plan shows that
there are four pens 8 by feet and
four 8 by IL feet, with a fitting win
dow and sliding door 2 by A feet in
each. A hanging door above and in
front Of each trough makes it pos
sible to feed from the passageway
and also to keep animals out Of the
trough until the feed is placed there
in. On the hardwood stills, which are
2 by inches, bolted every feet to the
concrete foundation, rests brick wall
40 inches high laid in cement mortar,
inside Of (not between) the studding,
forming an air space OF 4 inches
thickness of studding) between the
wall and the siding This wall is COW
cred with cement mortar and Joins
the concrete floor, which is curved up
to cover and protect the stills, making
it possible by the use Of hot water
and steam to maintain the highest
sanitary conditions The drainage Of
each pen Is toward the sliding door.
Partitions are feet high and those
between pens as well as all outside
fences are of electric-welded fencing,
stapled to hardwood ratings, which in
the yards are bolted to extra heavy
cedar posts capped with galvanized
iron and all given two coats of paint.
This piggery, which was designed
especially for winter comfort, is self
contained. A 200-barrel cistern under
meath takes the water from three
down spouts on the east side, not
shown, force pump puts the water
either into the slop casks, each hold
ing 100 gallons, into tank upstairs,
or into the boiler, as may be desired.
Feed is drawn through chutes from
bins upstairs and there is yet room
for winters supply of straw, clover,
alfalfa and oat-pea hay, which is put
down through matches at either end
of the passageway. These matches
are provided with stairs which swing
UP and hook under the ceiling when
not in use. The boiler, which holds
but II gallons of water, makes steam
rapidly and will thoroughly cook the
200 gallons Of feed in 80 minutes, be-
sides heating water in the tank up
stairs for housekeeping and for wash
ing pigs preparatory to shipment.
Breakfast for the poultry is also
cooked by steam and we utilize the
boiler at butchering time and for
cooking the dormant spray solution
for our orchards.
With this small amount Of artificial
heat the piggery is sufficiently warm
to enable the sows to farrow when
