at that, on account, as it appears of
having inherited this characteristic
from her dam. Further, these sows
had the cholera when they were being
bred, and five of them are gifts farrow-
ing the first litter.
One thing seems quite evident and
that is, in order to get the best result
not only from market pigs but also
from the breeding herd, they need to
be fed the proper amount of each of
the various nutrients, mineral matter,
water, protein, carbohydrate and fat,
and besides that have plenty of exer-
else. Another distinction that must
be made is that mature brood sows do
not need as much protein as young
sows that are still growing.

The Ranch

in the annual slaughter of calves that
might be avoided if beef bulls were
used whenever COWS are bred with no
desire to secure dairy heifers. This
country is facing a shortage of young
cattle which might be avoided by thus
making the calves from dairy herds
worth raising for beef. Among the
beef breeds there is an ample oppor-
tunity for choice of bulls with colors
that will tend to dominate the calves
to such an extent as to give them a
fair show at markets on their actual
beef making merits. Breeders Ga

yonder in the nineties. He sold
grades out of the feed lots at $40
apiece and in those days he thought
he was making plenty of money at
that. His hogs we're SO good that
farmers took them freely and they
hurt the market for purebreds. W. j.
Mclean and Mr.. WalpoIe of Rock
Rapids, since become famous in the
Shorthorn world, urged Mr.. Miller to
use only purebred hogs. He got some
good Poland China stock and found
he could get $25 apiece as easily as
he had gotten 80 before. Up to last
year Mr.. Miller says he never sold
above S25 but his fame was growing
and his last SOW sale averaged S153. 60.
He is now the strongest kind of
believer in pure-bre stock and in
wisely managed public sales.

Baby Beef From Dairy Cows

The cattle market is experiencing
the annual sacrifice of calves. Most
CT them are not good for anything but
veal, owing to their dairy ancestry.
The dairy steer grows rapidly more
scrawny and unstable after he passes
the veal age, vet there is no necessity
for such an avalanche of discarded
dairy calves being slaughtered every
year. Many COWS are bred merely to
freshen them. There is no desire to
save more than few heifers from the
best COWS. Yet some dairymen keep
these steers also for a year or so.
From the dairy regions, especially in
Wisconsin, there are thousands of
thin dairy steers shippedl to Chicago
every year. They are called knot
heads and other names descriptive of
their undesirable type and sold cheap
ly to feeders in the East.
This class of stock could be entirely
replaced by useful cattle by the use
of beef bulls. Calves that are now
sold for veal at the earliest moment
would pay we'll for raising if their
dairy dams had been mated to beef
sires. An Iowa dairyman has reported
that he produces very creditable
young steers by breeding his grade
Jersey cows to Angus bulls, The best
mixers are bred to Jersey only SO
often as may be necessary to produce
heifers for replenishing his dairy
herd. In this case the half bred beef
calves come uniformly black, and with
quite as good beef form as the aver
age grade beet steer. When the calves
are pushed from the start and market
ed as yearlings the meat making ten
dency seems to dominate their systems
and they make creditable beef.
Such scheme as this is economi-
cally sound. There is great waste

Live Stock
Feeding Brood Sows.

In order to have a good brood SOW
she must be properly developed from
the time she is born. Furthermore
it seems also to be necessary that she
be born from ancestors that also have
been properly fed and handled. In
other words SOW that has been i'm
properly developed will not be as good
a producer as one that is. The direc-
tions in regard to feeding in ''Swine"
by the writer, are as stated, pri-
marily adapted to the feeding of
market pigs.
Since the publication of this book
some work has been done relative to
the development of pigs for breeding
purposes. AS far as the data at hand
goes it seems to say that pigs intend
ed for breeding purposes should have
about one pound of protein daily less
than is given in the above publication
for market pigs. That is during the
growing period or up until about six
months of age. Following this the
protein should be gradually reduced
by steps to about 2 or .25 pound daily
per hundred pounds live weight for
mature hogs at two years of age.
In regard to the water content of
the ration for pigs being developed
for breeding purposes, they should
have more than the market pigs. The
latest data of our unfinished work
seems to indicate that the water
curve should start at II or Ii months
and be reduced to 8 or 9 pounds at
eight months of age. In our ex-
perience it is also evident that mature
brood sows need to be fed the proper
Mount of water during the winter.
That is, if they are allowed to follow
their appetite in this regard and are
fed dry feed or thick slop, they do
not drink enough water.
This being true, it is necessary dur
ing the winter to feed slop to brood
sows. Our practice is to feed 8 to 10
pounds of water daily per hundred
pounds live weight and mix this with
some feeds such as finely ground corn,
bran, soybeans, etc., to make the
water palatable. Some breeders seem
to bave difficulty with their sows
when feeding slop. This, however,
has never been our experience and
Just at present we are at the opening
Of the spring narrowing season and
the first seven that have narrowed

we're narrowed dead, thus producing

Raise More Pigs.

Searching Investigations conducted
by the Iowa Agricultural College
reveal the fact that farmers of that
state are growing on the average but
four pigs to litter. One-fourth of
the farmers raise only two and six
tenths pigs per litter, while another
fourth raise six and four tenths pigs.
The cost of keeping the SOW for a
year remains practically the same in
all cases, whether she has no pigs or
two pigs, or ten pigs. Consider, then,
the difference in profit to the owner
of her. If it costs, as it does under
the present conditions, some ten
dollars annually to keep the SOW, this
ten dollars is dead loss where no
pigs are secured. II but two pigs are
farrowed, their first cost is represent
ed by five dollars. Pigs that at birth
cost this sum will have to Ego some"
Ito use vulgar expression) if profits
are to result.
If the SOW has ten pigs, then the
original cost of each is but one dollar.
Farmers, many of them at least, do
not appear to realize the significance
of these facts. In many cases they do
not at all know and could not at all
tell what their sows altogether are
averaging, or what each individual
sow's record is. And so it is that a
SOW is sometimes kept in the herd
several years at an actual loss, get
ting either no pigs at all or at best
but two or three.
With careful selection and right
management every SOW in the herd
can be made to produce and rear
annually from six to eight pigs. The
writer knows several herds where
this feat is regularly accomplished.
A man who has sows of this kind
ought to be satisfied with them.
They are, on the whole, more prof.
table than are sows that farrow extra
ordinarily large litters, say from
twelve to twenty pigs-for few sows
can manage to raise so many pigs
successfully and see them to maturity.
In SO large litter there are almost
always several weak, puny, dwarfed
pigs, that might better be replaced
by one good strong one.
Every farmer ought to know accur-
ately how many pigs each SOW is
narrowing, what sort of mixer and
mother she is, and how many Figs she
raises to maturity. There is only one
way to know this, and that is to keep
record Of each SOW individually.
This is very simple matter, and it
is the only way to conduct the pig
growing industry on business basis.
