the larger the number or foals pro-
duced. In other words, the nearer we
approach natural conditions the more
foals We will have.
Data along these lines secured from
a different angle, show quite as con-
clusively that corn is not good for
breeding stations. The foal crop In
Missouri from the best stations is but
Al per cent. of the mares bred, and
corn is the chief ration. In Kansas IL
is A; Illinois, 46; Iowa, 81: Nebraska,
40; Minnesota, 81; Ontario, IL; Mon
tana, 72 Wyoming, ~, and Idaho, 73
Here again we notice that the foal
crop is small in the corn states as
compared with the states producing
no corn, and the large foal crop is in
those states known as grazing states.
Overfeeding is bad. too. regardless
OF what the grain is. 1t is muscle.

reproduction. Tallow is degenerating.
impairing the vitality of all cells,
glands and nerves around which it is
deposited. Everything fed a stallion
should be clean and wholesome. Oats
that have been wet before threshing
and musty or dusty hay should never
be fed stallion. Vigor tablets, ton
les or stimulants should never be
given stallion.
| The manner OF feeding our mares
has much to do with foal production

The greatest leak in American ag-
riculture is that of barren mares.
That the horse breeding industry can
stand such a waste of energy. money
and time is positive proof that the in
dustry can be made one of the most
lucrative of any carried on in connec-
ton with the work OF the farm. The
loss in my state, Nebraska, resulting
from mares that do not reproduce
themselves, exceeds $25,000.000 every
year. In all OF the United States, the
loss from this source will exceed $780,
100000. In the United States slightly
less than 40 foals are produced from
every 100 mares bred. A small frac-
tion less than 23 foals are produced
by every stallion owned in this coun-
try and it requires nearly four SER
vices of stallion for every live foal
added to the horse population OF this
country. These facts are small credit
to our breeding intelligence. writes
DR.. G. l.. Carlson in the Farmers
Mail and Breeze.
A record kept of many imported
stations, covering period OF many
years, gives the following results:
The Suffolk stations left SO per cent.
Of foals. Belgians 81, Percherons 55,
Clydesdales "a. and the Shires 40
per cent. Feed Is an important factor
in the case of stations. Data gath
cred in several states, and covering a
period OF several years. teaches us
that corn diet does not produce a
high per cent OF foals. Oats mixed
with corn increased the foal crop by
6 per cent. Oats gave an increase OF
IA per cent. as compared with corn.
Wheat bran added to the oats ration
resulted in per cent. more foals,
while grass or alfalfa, with no grain,
gave 80 per cent. OF foals. Here we
learn that the nearer we get to a
corn ration the smaller number OF
foals produced. while the nearer we
get to a grass ration with no grain

FEW COMFORTS

Food for Pushing
Spring Pigs.
csy sYLvANUs VAN AKEN.)

fBy 51LNANUS VAN AhEN.)
If the hog is not comfortable he
will not do his best. The one object
of hog farming is profit. The hog
responding most readily to good care
and that is capable of best develop
ment and a variety OF foods is the
most desirable.
A hog will not make profit when
shut up in small pen fed on dry
corn and filthy water.
Be sure to have a good place for the
sows to farrow In. Spring pigs well
money next fall and he will hardly
know how he came by 1t.
One will find the best food for
pushing pigs to be shorts mixed with
skimmilk placed in a separate pen
just out of reach of the mother; the
little fellows soon learn that 1t is for
them.
AS soon as they begin to eat 1t up
clean. add little corn meal to the
feed. When three months old one
may add to this an equal amount of
ground oats. After that soak shelled
corn and feed 1t for slops.
Make slop thick enough to pour
readily and add salt. as this aids d.
gestion. Use old process oil meal
soaked in slops for twelve hours as a
substitute for milk.
When being fed heavily. pigs should
have plenty of exercise. Early spring
pigs grown on wide grass range hav-
ing skimmilk and small grain ration
costs the owners hut little and are
the best money makers.
