Alfalfa For Hogs.

When fattening hogs for market
some Colorado experimenters found
that ration consisting of three parts
Of corn and one part of alfalfa was
very satisfactory For young hogs
which were being kept for growth one
part of corn and three parts of alfalfa
seemed to give best results. 1t will
thus be seen that alfalfa can be made
the principal ration for hogs that are
not being prepared for market. Even
when put in the feed lots 1t is profita-
bic to feed little alfalfa in connec-
tion with the grain. It enables the
animals to assimilate more freely the
feeds that are given for laying on
flesh.
The Washburn leader., 1911-08-04
CARING For 1urkex,.

Young turkeys are delicate, and it is
best to hatch the first two clutches or
litters laid by the turkey hen under
hens. After the weather becomes set
tied and warm hen turkey makes a
very good mother.
Give them plenty Of water and grit
from the start and put very little
lard on their heads and under the
wings Of the hen to keep away lice.
which are peculiarly fatal to very
young poults. Do not overdo this
greasing; very little lard goes long
way in killing lice and not enough
should be used to stick the down to
the body. One drop Of warm lard Is
plenty for one poult.
Poults should be fed with care for
q week or two For the first week
The Washburn leader., 1911-08-04
THE CARE OF LAMBS
AT WEAVING Time

The separation of the ewes and their
lambs is simple in itself, but after
weaning extra care comes Just as It
does when the pigs, calves or colts are
weaned, writes ]. G. Courtier in Iowa
Homestead. Separate them and run
the ewes in some far field out Of sight
and sound. They need only sparse
grazing now for time, and If they
are allowed clean drinking water and
salt and their udders are MIXED out a
little once or twice the first ten days
they will give little trouble. The lambs
should get their usual share Of feed
and care and the extra care left over
from the ewes. This is trying time
for the little lambs, and unless they
are induced to forget their loneliness
by filling their stomachs they will grow
thinner instead of fatter.
Save the fresh, choice pasture plots
for them. If possible turn them into
the dooryard in the evening. Save
the second cuttings OF. the clover mead
ow and when possible turn the lambs
on to small patch Of clover and. let
them NOW that down. 1t is better to
grow lambs fat now and sell them on
The early market than wait and fat
ten them on corn or hay after it is
In the barn and send them to market
later when there are all Of the others
to compete against. Every day feed
these lambs all the corn and oats or
corn alone that they will cleau up. At
first, Of course, accustom them to grain
gradually and when on full feed keep
them there. @
Where the farmer was wise enough
to think of his lambs and feed them
grain from birth almost he now sees
the advisability Of it, for he has fat
lambs while his neighbors' lambs are
thin, and his lambs will catch top
prices two months before his neigh
bors' will. Clean. water. shade, salt
and attention as guard against mag
gots make them comfortable. The
contented lamb is the fattening lamb,
and the fat lamb is the money maker.
The Washburn leader., 1911-08-04

the average farmer is by necessity re-
quired to average up at the end of
the year, and those things that meet
his environments best he soon learns
are his standbys, writes John F.. Hin
shaw in Rural New Yorker.
Therefore we claim the dual cow and
especially the Red Polls are best suited
to the conditions on the great majority
of farms east, west, north and south.
We are proving this every year by
records in milk. butter and beef. 1t
has been proved by public test over
and over again, both here and in Eng
land, that the dual COW often ranks
first with any competing breed. The
dual COW will often thrive where a
dairy bred one would sicken and die.
They (the Red Polls eat brush. weeds,
coarse folders and damaged and over
ripe hay that would go to waste il
fed to the more delicate dairy COW.
The elements Of the weather and in
sufficient shelter do not shrink the
dual COW to shadow like her dairy
sister, though care and feed are ap-
preciated by these cattle. and profitable
returns are often the result of care
and proper nourishment
Cows average from 5000 to 10000
pounds Of milk per year, with butter
variations from 300 to 500 pounds an
nually. Many cows with special care
are capable Of going far beyond this;
but, as rule, they are supposed to
hustle much Of their own living and
help keep the family on the wastes of
the farm. The dual steer properly
handled often tops the market side by
side with the beef bred brother and is
a valuable asset over the dairy steer in
the farmers feed lot. Last but not
least Of the good merits of the Red
Polls, nature has been kind to them
and us in giving them beautiful
hOrnless head.

STATE FAIR GREAT SUCCESS

Grand Forks Show swamped With the
Exhibits.
The North Dakota state fair ut
Grand Forks last week was grand
success.
The association found itself almost
swamped with exhibits. The great
cattle barns were overcrowded and
many cattle were placed in the open
ampitheater. Almost equally serious
conditions existed in the horse de-
partment.
Conclusive proof of the states abil-
ity to raise vegetables were found in
the agricultural department. Crowded
out of the liberal arts building the ex-
hibit was housed in an immense tent.
The exhibitors came from all parts Of
the Red river valley in greater num-
bers than ever before and with more
complete displays.
"That the North Dakota state fair
is constantly growing institution and
its future assured was amply demon
strated by our fair this year." said
President A. I. Hunter. Each year
we have been adding attractions IN
every department. The number of ex-
hibits has grown each year and more

THE sWINEHERo.

If sows are expected to raise
fall litter it is best to wean the
spring pigs at from eight to ten
weeks old.
If the pigs are allowed to re-
main with the sows too long and
no attention paid to teaching
them to eat they pull the sows
down unnecessarily, and this
! means loss. In such cases the
sows would be in no condition
for producing fall litters.
The young sows that are to be
kept for breeders must be sep
arated at weaving time from
those that are to be fattened for
market.

Red Poll cattle are advocated es-
pecially for their combination milk
and beef value. says c. 8. Plumb Of
the Ohio Agricultural college. In
England Red Poll herds have made
much better showings in milk pro-
duction than in America. The best
Red Poll record In England that
the writer is aware Of is 1926
pounds for 347 days. The best rec
ord Of Red Poll cattle under test in
America in 1909 was of the COW
Gold Drop, with q record for the
