CRUST COVERED BOYS HEAD

Bolton, Ga.-"My little boys head

CORN SILAGE FOR

They will admit its undoubted value

sheep are concerned.

The first year that | planned to

used in filling the silo. 1t was planted
rather late, and. as I was somewhat
afraid of the frost. the crop was cut
a little early. It was planted very
thick, sown. in fact: and when cut
the leaves were green and heavy with

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 a 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
fattening ration, and that they need
feed in judicious quantities.
Regular feeding Is essential TO a
steady. unremitting growth and three
feeds a 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
a natural and keen appetite.
From the fifth to the sixth month
should be the period of preparation.
that is, the time when we are getting
the pigs gradually accustomed to their
fattening ration.
During this period have always Sc
cured the best results by feeding
plenty of corn and giving the bunch
the run of a 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

possible condition to make good use
Of all the corn they are capable OF

should be well rounded out and weigh
at least 165 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
shrinkage 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 the
making of which variety Of suitable
food is essential, il loaded with fat
a 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 a way ahead Of my present
| achievements. / think / do well when

age 270 pounds at that age.

CRy W. MILTON KELLY)


Healthy and vigorous pigs from we'll
bred, properly matured ancestry are
the basis of successful pork growing.
With a uniform lot of pigs at eight
weeks of age, our chief motive should
be TO keep them in a 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 a 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-
TEN 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.
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-fourth
of the mixture. With a suitable vari-
ETY. Of farm-grown feeds we can read
lily change the proportions of the ra-
tons 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 1t likely that one can figure
out a ration so well 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 a pig feed barley excels all of the
above and is sure crop in many
localities where corn rarely natures.
Clover 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
well suited for pork growing where
they can be grown. Various localities
