SECURING ON RYE PASTURES
Difficulty May Be Treated by Use Of
Blood Meal, Giving Teaspoonful
Daily In Feed.

By JOHN II. EvvARD, Iowa Expert
ment Station.)
For the diflculty experienced with
the securing of young pigs upon fresh
green rye pasture, / would advise the
use of blood meal at the rate OF a tea
spoonful twice daily in the feed. With
older hogs weighing $50 ID 200 pounds
we have had no trouble with this m
testinal disturbance. but with the very
young pigs Weighing from Is to 90
pounds we have been annoyed con-
siderably by scours.
We are somewhat dubious as to the
advlsability Of placing much emphasis
upon rye pasture as a forage for pigs,
simply because Of the extremely loos-
ening tendencies Of the green and
succulent rye. In 1911 We pastured
thirty pigs upon rye for a period OF
sixty days, and were compelled during
that time to remove four Of the pigs
and three others were replaced be-
cause of unthriftiness. It was quite
remarkable, however. that those pigs
that remained, not showing signs OF
the difficulty, returned excellent prof.
Its from the rye.
The present spring we pastured for
ty head Of piss. weighing on the aver.
age about 30 pounds, on 8 Of an acre
of green rye. Four Of these were Ia
ken out Of the experiment within
three weeks because Of excessive
purging. The profit on the others ID
seriously impaired by The setback
which these four necessarily caused.
AS the rye begins to Joint the dificul'
ty disappears and the pigs do well up.
on the pasture. At this time. how.
ever, they should be removed SO 'is to
allow the rye crop to mature.
At the recent swine breeders meet
ing I took the matter up with four or
FIVE men who had In past years relied
somewhat upon rye as an early or late
pasture, and they told me they were
compelled to give up rye because OF
securing. I submit this inasmuch as a
short time ago / told OF the profits
upon green rye pasture while discuss
ing the hogging down Of ripe rye.
think at that time I neglected to men
ton the difficulties we have had with
scours.

water as a more sensible drink for hot

his favorite tipple is as follows:
For three pints of water you will

washed pearl barley, four Jumps Of
sugar and the thin rind and Juice Of
one lemon. Pour boiling water over

Of Whittier.

The late Gertrude Whittier Cart

poet, presented an ideal picture OF

sweet, serene face, framed in its tight
little bonnet, seemed to shine with
clear, spiritual radiance; to hear her
recite, in q voice Of tranquil music,
the hymns and graver poems OF her
famous relative was always delight
full.
But she did not have her cousins

hard to tell whether this lack lessen
ed or increased the effect, when In

she occasionally read aloud some Of

ultimate circle. That was always
light, frequently gay, sometimes fair

Her admiration for the writer made
her try very hard to appreciate his
fun; and she thought she did SO; yet
mirth seemed always an alien to her
tongue as q red rosette pinned upon
her dove-gray shoulder-shawl would
have been to her costume. This in
c%ongruity was felt, doubtless. by an
other Friend, Of eve more serious
mind than she. who once said to her
reprovingly:
"The verses are harmless, and
perceive they are intended to be
diverting; but they do not divert me,
Gertrude, and l do not think they
really divert thee. Be honest with
myself; II thee read them and did not
know thy cousin Greenleaf wrote
them. would thee not consider them
