Corn wauted-J. p. Roper.

Just a few years ago bran was
a waste product of the Touring
mill, now it is worth practically
as much as the -four. Only a
little while back, blackstrap mo-
lasses was a waste product, while
it is now selling for about one
half what the refined molasses
brings. The reason for these
two facts is to be found in the
other fact that feeders now I'M
derstand that palatability is an
element of great worth in the
composition of stock feed. An
animal can be pursuaded to eat
a great deal more of feed which
is palatable than of that which
is not so, and he will digest 1t
better with a consequent increase
in weight or in milk production.
This fact ID taken advantage OF
by the manufacturers of various
continental stock foods who gain
popularity for their products
through their palatability.

Experience in the use of pea
nuts for hog pasture has devel-
oped some very interesting facts,
one of which is that it is a won
derful feed on which to develop
shoats, while it is too fatteniug
for brood sows. The Spanish
peanut is the only kind recon-
meuded for the south and west
and brood sows should not be
turned upon It until after the
pigs have worked the field out

There is nothing that is quite
so palatable for any class of
farm live stock as green pasture.
Stock will do better in growth
and production and will remain
in better health and condition on
green pasture than on anything
else. Silage and alfalfa hay
come the nearest to it and offer
the finest substitutes in winter
feeding for the grasses of June.
Too little attention has been
paid to forage crops for swine.
The greatest and most popular
growth is made by pigs under
100 pounds weight. After that
weight has been attained, his
growth is slower and more ex-
pensive. But in either period of
his life nothing helps so much
to a proper growth and develop
meut as does green pasture in
summer and good alfalfa hay in
the winter, to which may be
added a little silage.
