(By L. J. IDDINGs. Idaho Experiment
Station)
How to prepare feeds for hogs to
secure the greatest economy is a
question frequently asked by hog
raisers.
Corn should be fed on the cob.
Where shelled corn is bought it
should be ground or soaked The
Iowa experiment station aSter exhast-
i've trials found that feeding on the
cob was most economical and that
soaking for twelve hours was equal to
grinding
Such small grains as wheat, bar
ley, oats and rye are commonly fed
in Idaho and other northwestern
states. The outer layers of these
grains become very hard after a few
months and when such hard. fiinty
grains are fed to hogs a large part Of
them pass through the digestive tract
whole as waste.
Hogs can be induced to do their
own grinding by scattering grain on
a rough concrete or other feeding
floor, or by feeding grain in the
sheaf. Ordinarily, however, we have
to grind, roll or soak the small
grains. Coarse grinding which leaves
hard sharp cornered pieces is not rec
commended. Grains must be ground
fine, especially for young pigs Roll
ing grains leaves them in porous
condition, and when taken into the
stomach they make a porous mass
upon which the digestive juices can
easily act. Grinding or rolling ordi-

TABLE BIRDS OF
THE RIGHT QUALITY
Houdan Males Take Kindly to
Fattening Process and Flesh
Up Rapidly.

Houdan males are good breeders,
that grow without much trouble, and
when the time arrives for the separa-
tion of the sexes the cockerels will
take kindly to the fattening process
and put on flesh rapidly, and make up
into table birds of good quality The
flesh of the Houdan is of good color,
fine in grain, juicy and of fine flavor
and on that account it has gained for
itself the premier position as table
bird in its native country. The breed
has been used with advantage in the
production of cross-bred fowls both for
table use and egg production. To
reproduce fine table birds Houdan
males are mated to buff Orpingtons,
whilst to produce good laying cross,
Houdan cockerels are mated to Leg
horn or Minorca hens. The Houdan-
hite Leghorn Is undoubtedly the best
cross known for egg production, and
the crossing of these two distinct
breeds not only accounts for increased
prolificacy in the progeny, but the
process of crossing improves the fat
tening qualities of the cockerels pro-
duced. 1t may be truly said that the
Houdan is capable of improving the
progeny of most fowls with which 1t
is crossed, and on that account 1t Is
an excellent breed to turn down with
a view to the improvement of farm
stock of a nondescript class. A few
male Houdans mated to mongrel
hens will stamp their likeness on
the progeny, and not only will the
chickens produced excel over their
dams meat properties, but they will
Prov better layers.
