BEAN AND CORN K
Whel Properly Prepared Make An
Excellent Hog Ration

Prof. Shaw OF the Michigan Stat
ton gives the following suggestions
as TO the preparation and feeding OF
beans. He says:
Beans can DO fed to swine only In
the cooked form. The pig seems to
be unable TO utilize beans which are
at all hard or firm. even though
they have been boiled for some time,
hence II is very essential that they
be thoroughly cooked. To supply a
single feed OF half-oooked beans to
a pen of hogs, robs them OF their
appetites and relish for their food,
II indeed II does not put them OF
feed. The cooking should be con-
due d In an wen more careful man
ne. than IL would be In preparing
them for human food. 1t will ma
terialy shorten the cooking period
and give better results. II the beans
Rre soaked an hour or two. or better.
over night. before the cooking pro-
per Is begun.
Pals used should be rinsed after
each feeding and especial care should
be taken TO clean the kettle or bar
rel after each cooking and not al
low sour mouldy material to collect
about the food receptacle. More
than one case OF supposed hog chol-
era has been traced to ignorant or
careless neglect in allowing old
swill to accumulate In a barrel in
stead Of emptying the barrel each
time before the new material is
dumped into II.

Crowding the Pig.

CrowdiGs too many pigs together
has much he same effect as crowd
ing the chr kens in too small n space.
Prof. Haywood of the Pennsylvania
station SAYS that half II not moro OF
the outbreaks of disease are due to
the over-crowding of young shoats.
The younger and weaker ones be-
come so unresistant that finally they
guccumb TO the germs OF cholera or
swine plague. which are always pre-
sent even In healthy pigs.

Raise Sugar Beets.

Sugar beets are the best known
roots for keeping the hog In a heal
thy condition. Every ranchman
should plant from one to three acres
IN sugar beets every year for his
hogs. and he will find that they will
pay him a handsomer profit than any
other crop OF four times the acreage.
Sugar beets, together with a forage
crop, peas or barley. completes the
ration for the bacon hog. which has
been demonstrated to be the most
profitable for the West.

today that education OF the public
against segregation was one OF the
chief contentious OF the advocates of

declared.
If the moving picture houses join in
this campaign, they should not he re

il contains great lesson to grOwn-up
