GREEN RYE TO
COWS AND HORSES
Feeding Should Be In Hands OF
Careful Man and Not Given
to Boys of a Care
less Hand.

Green rye may be fed as soon as it
heads out; there is then the most
nourishment in the stalks. Cut when
free from dew, and let it wilt few
hours before feeding. Feed small
quantities at first. A half forkful may
be given to each cow after the hay
has been eaten. When fed thus there
is no danger of bloat or hoven. The
feeding of green feed to cattle should
be in the hands of a careful man, and
not given to boys or a careless hand.
Attention to this rule will frequently
save the life of valuable cow
Horses at work should not be given
green feed, as it is liable to produce
collie. Cows should not be turned out
to pasture too early. Wait until the
grass has made some growth, and
there is some nourishment in the
grass. Before turning out to grass
give the COWS feed of hay or straw
first. After the hay is eaten they are
turned on the pasture For the first
day or two let them Craze one or two
hours. When the COWS are accus-
toned to the change they may remain
out all day. Experienced dairymen
feed a small grain ration throughout
the grazing season. If you are getting
16 cents per gallon for milk, it will
pay to do this.

CEMENT TANKS
TO DIP SWINE
Directions Given for Construction
of Basin Found Entirely
Satisfactory by
IIIinoisan.
By w. II. UNDERWOOD

Last spring | made a cement dip
ping tank for my hogs which has
proven very satisfactory, and will give
the instructions for making same so
that if anyone desires to do so he can
make one for himself.
/ dug a hole II feet long on top, 5
feet long on the bottom, straight at
one end and sloping across the feet
at the other, 26 inches wide at the
bottom, 80 inches at the top and Az
feet deep.
l then made a wooden frame of
boards 6 inches smaller every way
than the hole and filled in the space
all around with cement using three
parts sand to one part cement.
After it had set "a hours, took out
the wooden frame. l made wooden
cleat steps at the sloping end for the
hogs to walk out on. My hogs were
covered with lice last spring and /
had tried all remedies heard of to get
rid of them. l dipped the hogs at in
tervals of about month and noted a
marked change in their condition as
to skin and health.
A neighbor of mine has a dipping
tank somewhat similar to mine. He
dug a hole feet wide at the top and
8 feet long; and at the bottom 10
inches wide and 4 feet long, making
the hole feet deep, straight up and
down at one end with a gradual in
cline for the hogs to walk out at the
other.
Then he took cement, mixing it in
proportion of one part of cement to
four parts sand and plastered this
over like a cistern, plastering the ce-
ment directly on the dirt. After this
coating of cement had thoroughly set
he washed the inside with pure ce-
ment, to make it absolutely tight.
Whether it is safe to plaster the
cement directly on the dirt, as done
by my neighbor, depends on the char
acter of the soil. Ordinarily l think
my plan the better; that is, to build
the frame six inches smaller than the
hole and fill in the space all around
with cement.

The profits of a successful hog man
rest largely upon his success in raising
pigs. No matter how well the sows
may have been managed and how
much care and attention may have
been bestowed upon them, little
carelessness and lack of skill at far
rowing time and during the early
weeks of the pigs growth may result
in the loss of large percentage of the
filters and the stunning of many more.
Warmth and protection during the
first few days and sufficient amount
of nutritious feeds and fresh air and
plenty of sunshine later on make for
growthy pigs that bring profits to the
breeder.
If from a well-nourished dam and a
healthy strain of animals the pigs rare
ly need attention at narrowing time. A
quiet sow does not object to the pres
ence of the herdsman, and weak pigs
can be helped to suck without irritat-
ing the SOW Nervous sows are often
best let alone. In very cold weather
some artificial heat may be necessary

cured with the pigs, is to train them TO
depend on prepared feeds to a large
extent before weaving time.
WEAVING time is from six to Twelve
weeks. If the sows are to be rebred
at once, the pigs should be weaned at
eight or nine weeks of age. Ii one

may be allowed to run with the SOW

After weaving, plenty Of skim-mliK'

TO expect pigs to make prolltaole
