LIME FOR BROOD SOWS.
Necessary to the Health and Growth Of
Dam and Pigs.

Dam and Pigs.
The Importance of supplying lime in
some form to brood sows and young
hogs is often overlooked by the feeder.
writes H. T. Morgan in the Country
Gentleman An investigator at one Of
the agricultural colleges says that a
sufficiency of lime in the ration Of the
brood SOW is fully as important as a
sufficiency of protein. One thousand
pounds of corn contain only about
three ounces Of lime. Tankage contains
about ten pounds Of lime to each 1000
pounds Clover and alfalfa hay con-
tain twenty and twenty-seven pounds
respectively in each 1000 pounds. IT
is evident that corn alone is not
satisfactory feed either for pregnant
sows or for growing pigs. 1t is sur
prising how quickly hogs will respond
in winter to ration Of clover or al
falfa hay.
During the grazing season this mat
ter of supplying lime and protein in
addition to the grain need cause the
feeder no concern, but during the
winter months both lime and protein
must be supplied. Wood or cob ashes
or charcoal supplied in generous guam
titles will furnish the animals with
sufficient amount of lime. They will
also eat ground limestone. l have al
ways made practice of supplying air
slaked lime to hogs of all ages 1t is
estimated that in an average litter of
pigs about six ounces Of lime enter into
the composition Of their bones. If the
SOW has not had well balanced ration
or has been fed on corn alone she has
had to supply the bone building ma
terial necessary for the development
of her young from her own body. and
If this has been insufficient the pigs
will be weak and often deformed in
the head and joints. Ricketts,, or rachi-
It's, is believed to be due to a lack Of
the proper bone building elements
This disease usually proves fatal in
young pigs and is much more frequent
ly observed in the produce from gifts
than in the filters from mature sows.
A gOOd way In Wnlcn TO supply lime
is to make hopper which will hold a
bushel or more and have it under
shelter. An excellent plan is to make
a square hopper and divide it into four
compartments, in which wood ashes.
air slaked lime or ground limestone.
ground rock phosphate and salt shall
be provided at all times. Place this
box in the hog lot and arrange it so
that the hogs may feed themselves at
will. The cover should overhang suf-
ficiently to protect the contents from
the weather.

Corn is Promising Crop for the Northwest

8. Preparation of the soil should
not be deferred until time to plant,
thus permitting the soil to dry out
badly, making it humpy and i'm
possible to fit properly.
The best preparation requires the
following:
(a) Deep fall blowing, leaving
the burrows untouched to catch the
precipitation as completely as pos
sible.
(b) Narrowing as soon as the
soil is fit to work in the spring to
prevent crusting and to hold the
moisture.
Co Sufficient cultivation from
the opening of spring until corn
planting time to keep the soil
mulched and to keep down the weeds.
(d) Thorough, deep cultivation
just before planting. producing a
deep, mellow seed bed.
(e) Narrowing once or twice be-
fore the corn is big enough to Guilt
vate.
The above preparation insures
plenty of moisture for the corn and
an abundance of plant food. One
of the primary purposes of cultiva-
ton is to encourage the development
of available plant food in the soil.
Such preparatory cultivation reduces
the cost of production by getting
rid of the weeds largely before the
corn occupies the soil.
The Experiment Station would
urge farmers who have not given
corn trial to begin next year with
a very small tract. If local seed
cannot be found, the Station will
furnish gratis two quarts of seed
that is we'll acclimated at Pullman
and that may be quickly adapted to
localities with climate approximate
ly like Pullman. Popular Bulletin
No. 80 of this statian treats of corn
growing in Washington and may be
had upon request.
Remember Begin preparation
NOW by deep fall blowing. George
Severance, agriculturist, Washing
ton Experiment Station.

Cost of Producing and Harvestin9 a Box Of Peaches

This study has to do with the
cost of production and of harvesting
a box of peaches grown in an Or
chard planted in the spring of 1909,
from which was marketed this sea-
son three boxes to the tree. AS
the trees grow and their productive
ness increases, the expense of pro-
duction will be propo~tionately de-
creased. Very little more labor will
be needed to produce 10 or Is boxes
to the tree than is required for five,
and the cost of harvesting would
also be considerably lessened. Hence
this must not be taken as a state
ment of the average cost of box
OF peaches to the general grower or
for any but the fifth season from
planting.
In the cost of harvesting is in
cluded the cost of delivery to the
warehouse or car; all, in fact, that
the grower has to do with his crop
before it passes into the hands of
those to whom he may entrust it for
distribution to the consumer.
The cost of the necessary labor is
estimated on the time taken to per-
form the labor at the average wages
for the same. The writer does not
vouch for the absolute accuracy of
the figures but believes them to be
a fairly close approximation. The
difficulty arises from the fact that
an accurate record was not kept of
the growers own work as it should
have been. Hence an estimate is
necessary.

Feeding Little Pics.

Much of the success in raising good
pigs is due to feeding. Little pigs
must have extra feed and should not
be expected to forage with the stock
hogs. because if they do not have
good. succulent, nutritious feed when
young they lose their mothers flesh.
Sweet milk and middlings made into a
thin slop Is one of the most acceptable
feeds to use. However. no more of
this should be fed at one time than is
eaten up. because if too much Is placed
before them the pigs will gorge them
selves and often let some remain in
the trough to sour. Therefore it Is
better to give just as much as they
will eat. and still let them squeal for
little more. Overlooking is often as
injurious as underfeeding.

The economic importance and
the possibilities of successful pro-
duction of corn over the greater por-
ton of Washington is becoming
quite generally recognized an d
proven by practical farmers. The
present status is about as follows:
1. The best corn crops of either
grain or forage are produced in the
warm. irrigated valleys of the Column
bia, Snake, Yakima and Walla
Walla rivers.
2. In portions of the grain belt
having an annual precipitation of
over Is inches, fair crops are grown
without injuring the following grain
crop.
3. With an annual precipitation
of from IA to Is inches, fair crops
are grown; but the grain crop i'm
mediately following is materially re-
duced, except in especially favor
able spots.
4. With an annual precipitation
of from - to IA inches, corn re-
quires a good summer fallow and
no attempt should be made to SUBJ
stitute it for the summer fallow.
With less than II inches of rain
fall the success of corn is very un-
certain.
6. In Western Washington heavy
yields of silage are produced in warm
well drained soils free from frost.
While there are numerous and
widely distributed instances of sue
cess which prove the possibilities,
there are many records of failures.
These are almost invariably trace
able to a failure to provide some one
or more of the essential require
ments for success.
Corn growers should observe the
following points:
1. Secure acclimated seed. If
not grown locally, secure from a
locality having conditions as similar
to your own as possible. Having
secured a satisfactory variety, save
your own seed regularly. Your
corn will continue to improve as
long as you grow it if seed is care
fully selected. Aim to secure and
develop a variety that will utilize
the entire corn growing season, yet
mature nicely before the average
occurrence of killing frost. Extreme
earliness is secured at the expense
of yield. A variety that would ma
ture at Pullman would be too early
to produce maximum yields at Ken
newlck. A variety may be rapidly
developed for earlier or for later
maturity by proper selection of seed;
hence quickly adapted to the locality,
if not wholly acclimated.
2. Do not attempt to grow corn
on poorly drained, on very poor or
on frosty tracts. Corn is a good
crop to apply manure to. Corn is
a soil improver." like clover or
alfalfa. The cultivation necessary
in successful corn growing is the
soil improver.
