FAHENING VALUE OF PEAS
For Use With Cattle Crop Probably
10 Unexcelled-Make Good Food
for Horses at Work.

(By PROF. THOMAS N. SHAW)
There is no kind OF live stock on
the farm TO which peas cannot be
fed with positive advantage when they
are to be had at prices not too high.
They are not commonly fed to horses.
since they can seldom be spared for
such use, but they make good food
for horses at work. and for colts
during the period of development, If
given as part OF the grain food.
AS food for fattening cattle, peas
are probably unexcelled. Much of
the success which Canadian feeders
have achieved In preparing cattle for
the block has risen from the free use
Of peas in the diet.
During the first part of the finish
ing period they will be found peculiar
ly helpful in making beef. owing to
their relative richness In protein, but
they are also satisfactory food at
any stage of the fattening process.
During the first half of the finishing
period peas will be found superior to
corn, but toward the close of the same,
corn could probably be fed with
greater relative advantage.
Peas with oats or bran make an ex-
cellent grain food for cattle that are
being fattened. Speaking in a gen.
eral way, peas should form about one
third, by weight, of the meal fed, but,
as every feeder knows, the relative
proportions of meal used should vary
somewhat as the season of fat

By all means keep your ewes healthy

thrifty condition of ewes depends your

The healthy eve is able to live on

else. You must give them some at

Feeding Hoqa.

1t is best never to feed hogs on the
ground. 1t is no more natural for a
hog to pick his feed up out of the dirt
and mud than for any other animal to
do so, although circumstances have in
many cases forced him to do so. Have
floors on which to feed hogs. and not
only will you save feed by using them,
but they will appreciate their rations
much more.

Sheep, while generally hardy and
robust, are extremely susceptible to
attacks of disease, which, although not
always fatal, wear on the constitution
and ultimately impair the usefulness
of animals afflicted.
