THREE RULES FOR FEEDING
Make a Mixture of Grains and Other
Concentrates and Give in Proper
ton to Daily Milk Yield.

It is not practical to spend the time
necessary under ordinary conditions to
figure out an extra ration for each in
dividual COW. 1t is practicable, how
ever, to make a mixture of grains and
other concentrates and to feed each
COW from this grain mixture in pro-
portion to her daily milk yield, and
then to give her all the roughage she
will eat up clean. and be reasonably
sure that she has had all the food she
needs to produce milk to the limit of
her ability under ordinary conditions.
The following rules of feeding are sug-
gested by the Pennsylvania station:
1. Feed grain in proportion to milk
yield. that is, give her. for example,
one pound of grain mixture a day for
each three or four pounds of milk pro-
duced in one day.
2. Feed all the roughage that the
COW will eat up clean, up to the point
where she gains too much weight.
8. Whenever she becomes too fat,
reduce the amount of roughage. leav-
ing the amount of grain to be deter
mined by the milk yield.
When a COW leaves uneaten either
grain or roughage which is free from

VALUE OF PASTURING
Result of Experiments With For.
age Crops for Swine.
Alfalfa Proved to Be Most Satisfac-
tory at the Iowa Station, Furnish
ing Pasture Most Constantly OF
All Crops Tried.

By W. c. PALMER, North Dakota Ag-
ricultural College.)
The profits in hog raising come
largely through pasturing. The Iowa
experiment station in bulletin No. 136
reports the result of experiments with
forage crops for swine. 1t was found
that the profits from grazing an acre
of alfalfa in 1911 was, with corn at 90
cents and hogs selling at five cents.
$65.99; hogs, at six cents, $97.O9. The
cost per 100 pounds of pork was but
s2.SS. In 1909, the profit was $2s.62
with hogs at five cents, and $46.S9
when hogs sold at six cents.
In 1909, clover when grazed with
hogs returned a profit of 1924, hogs
selling at five cents, and $57.O7, al six
cents. In 1910, the clover pasture re-
turned S2S.S2, and S51.20 with hcgs
at five and six cents.
In 1909, rape returned $3.50 and
$47.47 with hogs at five and six cents
respectively; in 1910, s37.51 and s6s.64.
In 1910, sweet clover returned $42.O7
and $7450 with hogs at five and six
cents; in 1911, $23.46 and $3.50. Oats
pasture returned S15.33 and $S2.53,
with hogs at five and six cents respect
lively. In 1909, oats, Canada deld
peas and rape returned $22.S3 and
S43S6, with hogs at five and six cents.
IN 1911. three different lots returned
S53.45. S3952 and S64.63 each with
hogs at five and six cents. In 1909,
the returns from blue grass were
$15.23 per acre, with hogs at five cents,
and $31.S5 at six cents.
In all the trials corn was fed and
charged at so cents a bushel. Land
rent was charged at six dollars per
acre. All costs of producing the crop
were figured in. Some meat meal was
fed. This was charged at two and
one-half cents pound. Alfalfa proved
to be the most satisfactory. 1t fur
nished pasture the most constantly of
the crops tried. Sweet clover was
satisfactory the first year. but grew
too rank the second year.
The results of these experiments
should mean a good deal to North
Dakota. The season is little short
er, but this Is in a measure offset with
lower land rents. 1t is necessary to
keep in mind that some grain needs
to be fed the hogs In addition to the
forage. When the pasture is alfalfa,
corn is good grain to use.

Elephants Teeth.

The elephant has no cutting teeth.
like most animals. but only a series Of
molars. These molars or grinders as
they wear away gradually move for
ward In the jaw. and the remnant Of
the tooth. when the surface Is com.
pIetely destroyed. is cast out In front.
The same moar can thus be replaced
as many as eight times. The tusks.
which are only enormously elongated
teeth. can be renewed only once. This
wearing process and the election Of the
stump Of the tooth go on very slowly
during the life Of the elephant Only
one or two teeth at time are In use
or In view In each jaw. There are al
ways other teeth waiting to pass for
ward and begin their work. although
there is limit to this succession. for.
when the last has come into use and
been worn down. the elephant can no
longer chew his food and must die Of
starvation. II he has not already sue
cumbed to old age.
