CORN SlLAGE FOR
SHEEP Is PROPER
Michigan Farmer Finds 1t Excel
lent Ration When Allowed
to Ripen and Mature.

Silage is not always satisfactory as

many localities will have nothing to

They will admit it's undoubted value

believe that well matured silage
can be fed to sheep with the very
best results. have been feeding it
for several years, and since the first
year the results have been all that
could be asked for any ration.
The first year that l planned to
use silage as a winter feed for sheep,
l planted eight acres of corn to be
used in filling the silo. 1t was planted
rather late, and, as l was somewhat
afraid of the frost. the crop was cut

the silage. and my doubts were con-
firmed when l began feeding it. It
was given to the sheep in small guam

running the crop through the cutter.
There was no trouble that season or
at any time since.
1t has been fed to sheep of all ages
ever since the first season. From
two to two and one-half pounds have
been given daily to everything from
spring lambs to ewes with sucking
youngsters at their sides. They have
been uniformly as thrifty as though
fed on grain and hay ration, and
the cost has been much less.
Green corn, especially when put in
the silo uncut, has been the cause of
silage ration for sheep acquiring
such bad reputation. When corn is
left to ripen enough that it could be
husked in the field it can be placed
in the silo and fed to the sheep with

Looking to the Pedigree.

Look at the pedigree of the stallion
you patronize, and if it is not issued
by one of the recognized registry as
sociations don't use that horse. Many
farmers will contend that grade
horse that is good locker is just as
good for a sire as a pure-bred. and
expense is much lighter.
Some Of the handsomest. soundest
and most perfect horses are grades.
and while they are splendid animals
for use they are unsuitable to breed
to. Every grade has a yellow streak
in him, and this is just as likely to
show.as his good qualities.

(Ry W. MILTON KE1LY.)

(Ry W. MILTON KEILY.)
Healthy and vigorous pigs from we'll
bred, properly matured ancestry are
the basis of successful pork growing.
With uniform lot Of pigs at eight
weeks Of age, our chief motive should
be to keep them in vigorous, flesh
gaining condition until they have de.
veloped enough bone, muscle and
stamina to carry our corn crop to
market.
Providing the pigs have been prop
erly weaned, they will have developed
stomachs strong enough to handle
generous rations without check in
their growth by the removal of the
SOW
At this time the pigs should have as
near as may be balanced ration. At
least the feed must not be all corn,
or too starchy or too monotonous in
kind. The skill of the feeder will fur
nish the variety that induces appetite
and favors growth rather than fat.
In feeding pigs of this age we are
confronted with two problems: First,
the danger Of giving them too much
fat-producing food, and second, the
feeding of larger quantities of pro-
tein foods than they have the ability
to digest and assimilate.
Too much fat Is not desirable at
this period and too heavy feeding of
protein feeds will acquire an excess
Of that element, thereby stunning their
growth. The element of waste in feed
ing too much protein is important in
determining the profits.
l have never been able to compound
any rations of grain and commercial
feeds that would produce as good re-
suits for young pigs as one which
skimmilk makes up about one-fcurth
Of the mixture. With suitable vari-
ETY. of farm-grown feeds we can read
lily change the proportions of the ra-
lions as our observation and Judgment
may suggest.
The truly scientific feeder must cut
away from mixed feeding standards
and vary his rations according to the
growth and condition of the pigs.
Nor is it likely that one can figure
out a ration so we'll balanced without
grazing as to promote the most vigor.
GUS growth as will result when the
ration is supplemented by the daily
run of field which furnishes succu.
lent and bulky food.
From weaving time until the grow
Ing pigs are about six months old pro-
tein is the most important element in
the ration. Corn is nine-tenths car
bohydrates, oats contain more protein
than corn, but hardly enough to meet
the requirements of the growing pigs.
Rye is richer in protein than oats, but
as pig feed barley excels all Of the
above and is sure crop In many
localities where corn rarely natures.
Glover and alfalfa are highly nitrog-
enous, but too bulky to suit the needs
of the young pigs. Cow peas, soy
beans and Canadian field peas are
we'll suited for pork growing where
they can be grown. Various localities
The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1913-08-28

produce feeds that can be used adj
vantageously to balance up ration. t
Wheat middlings, linseed oil tank
age and other feeds of commerce all
have their place in economical pig
feeding which must be regulated &C.
cording to the variety of farm grown
feeds that are at hand and the prices
of these purchased feeds in the nearby
markets.
The man who is engaged in pork
growing as business and not merely
feeding hogs to find an outlet for his
farm by-products must recognize the
fact that young hogs up to six
months of age need a growing, not a
fattening ration, and that they need
feed in judicious quantities.
Regular feeding is essential to a
steady, unremitting growth and three
feeds day will give better results
than two and in following up this
method it Is advisable that they be-
fed only what they will clean up with,
an apparent relish.
! Always bear in mind that the most,
valuable asset of the growing pig
is 120 pounds of bone and muscular
development aided and supported by
natural and keen appetite.

plenty of corn and giving the bunch
the run of field of clover, alfalfa or
cow peas.
In this way their digestive system
gradually becomes accustomed to the
changes of diet and by the end of a
few weeks feeding are in the best
possible condition to make good use
of all the corn they are capable Of
handling. !
At the end Of this period they
should be we'll rounded out and weigh
at least 1865 pounds. notwithstanding
that corn has been the object of much
criticism by many theoretical feeders.
yet the fact remains that corn and
water will produce more economical
gains than diet of mixed foods.
Mixed food may produce little
greater gains, but the quality of the
pork is not so good and the loss OF
ehrinkage while on the road to mar
ket is greater than is the case with
the corn-fed hogs.
During the last two months, the fin.
fishing period, the previously built
frame and digestive capacity, in tho
making of which variety of suitable
food is essential, is loaded with fat,
process in which corn produces the
cheapest gains.
How many pounds can we make the
pigs weigh at eight months Of age Is
the great question.
My ideal is the 300-pound hog at
eight months of age, but my ideal is
quite way ahead Of my present
achievements. I think do we'll when
