With breeding hogs the case is al

Lack Of exercise is one of the fac
tors in the physical deterioration OF
the breed of hogs.
Not one breeder in a dozen allows
or compels his breeding hogs to take
adequate exercise
Hogs, like men, gradually degen-
crate under conditions OF artificial
luxury. Any animal that can live
without work will ultimately become
extinct. This applies to every form
of life. Labor is the price which life
must pay for itself.
Exercise is absolutely essential to
the maintenance of health, vigor and
fecundity in hogs.
Breeding hogs kept In small pas
lures or pens, and literally fed, lose
the power to transmit the highest
virility and vital integrity to their on
spring.
1t Is serious mistake to confine
breeding hogs where the necessity for
regular exercise does not exist Sows
nearing parturition should of course
be confined, but all young things and

VALUE OF COTTON SEED MEAL
Probably Cheapest Concentrate Feed
Offered on Market, When Nutrl-
ment 10 Considered.

By w. A. LINKLATER. Oklahoma sta
Cottonseed meal Is probably the
cheapest concentrate feed offered on
the market today. when we consider
1t Is not considered as safe for gen.
eral feeding as bran and such other
feeds. There has no doubt been I'M
satisfactory results in some cases
from feeding cattle heavily on cotton
seed meal. 1t is also true that there
are plenty of cases on record where
hogs have died from feeding on cot
tonseed meal. Judiciously fed. how
ever, cottonseed meal Is an. econo-
mical and sufficiently safe feed. In
the case of young pigs and breeding
hogs / would not recommend that
more than one-eighth OF the ration
consist of cottonseed meal. The 9TH
er seven-eighths may consist of corn,
Kafhr, or milo chop, shorts, sill run or
such other feeds. For fattening hogs
more cottonseed can be safely and
satisfactorily fed than one-eighth OF
the grain ration. know of a number
of cases where men make q practice
of feeding fattening hogs a ration con-
sisting Of one-third cottonseed meal
for a period Of sixty days and report
satisfactory results. / believe In each
case the feed is soaked from twelve to
twenty-four hours before feeding.
Continued feeding Of ration consist
ing Of one-third to one-fourth cotton
seed meal would no doubt Kill many
hogs, but small pigs and breeding
hogs may be fed a mixture OF one
eighth cottonseed meal almost in
definitely and fattening hogs may be
safely fed as rich mixture as one
to four Of cotton seed meal for a pc
Rod Of sixty days without bad results.
There is practically no difference in
the feeding value OF cottonseed meal
and cottonseed cake. The cottonseed
cake must be broken up in small
pieces to be fed to most classes OF
stock and for this reason Is scarcely
as convenient as cottonseed meal.

lungs of a stentor, sheltering himself
