PIG-EATING HABIT
ONLY IN OLD S0WS
Characteristic Never Laid at
Door of Young Mother Rem
edy Found in Exercise.

It is a well known fact that the pig
eating propensity is an attribute of an
old sow; the characteristic is never
laid at the door of the young mother.
If not the old it is the mature bred
SOW; she with the second or third lit
ter, and it will be found that she is
usually of the slow, sluggish disposi-
ton.
An argument put forth is that this
Is the failing of the domesticated, but
uncivilized hog alone. Under natural
conditions the mother will sacrifice
her own life for that of her young, but
the reverse has never been heard of.
Why. then. with this fact should we
be led to believe we feed our hogs
too much; that the cure is more ami
NAL food and protein? Why cultivate
q taste for meat?
Which SOW is it that most needs
protein? Is it the gilt that must grow
both her own frame and her litter, or
Is il the mature SOW that has only
her litter?
It is a known fact that on stock
farms where as many as fifty or more
brood sows are kept they and their
progeny run after the cattle.
The only feed of these sows may be
corn in the winter, either fresh or IN
the droppings of the cattle. In the
summer corn and grass. In this bill
of fare it is seen that protein is con-
spicuous by its absence, yet from
these farms come no reports of pig
eating sows.
Instead, the complaints of the SOW
with a tooth for her own offspring
come from farms where the sows are
kent in small Sx10 pen, living life
of idlcness and suffering from a slug
gish liver. constipation. malnutrltlon'
anaemia, melancholia and various
other ills, and durable, all of them' ac-
cording to experiments in turning

BUCkWHEAT MAKES
GOOD CATTLE FEED
Quick Growing Crop and Straw
Is Good Absorbent for Use
About the Stables.
(RY A. ]. LEGGl

Thirty years ago farmers were pre-
JUDGED against buckwheat as a farm
crop. They thought buckwheat a very
exhaustive crop and that it ruined
their soil.
Now nearly every farmer in this
section grows few acres of buck
wheat, and while it is a quick-growing
crop and, of course, removes consid-
erable of the plant food, it does not
seem to be harder on the soil than
corn or oats.
Buckwheat will keep down the weeds

count of this, and also because it ma
lures quickly and leaves the young
plants in complete possession of the
soil
AS to the value of the buckwheat. it
makes a good feed for all the stock
and the straw is good absorbent to
use about the stable. The nutritive
ratio of buckwheat is about one to
seven.
AS to its cultivation, it may be
sown here as late as August and ma
ture a crop, 1t only requires about go
days in which to mature An acid
phosphate seems to be the fertilizer
to use.
The West Virginia experiment sta
ton found that $50 pounds of acid
phosphate per acre was the most eco
nomical fertilizer to use on buck
wheat.
A heavier application did not pay
the extra cost of the fertilizer in in
creased yield.
One bushel of japanese buckwheat,
or three pecks of the Silver Hull vari-
ETY. per acre, is enough seed to use.
The soil should be well prepared,
by blowing, narrowing and rolling. 1t
is usually better to plow the ground
two or three weeks before seeding.
The crop is sown here at any time
from May until August, with fairly
good results.
The earlier sowings do not usually
yield as many bushels per acre as the
late ones, but the seed is usually bet
ter matured and weighs heavier.
