Potatoes As Hog Feed

Because Of the surplus of white or
Irish potatoes now on the market and
the consequent low prices, many farm
ers have been seeking information as
to the possibility of feeding them to
hogs.
Many experiments have been con-
Quoted i'm Germany and other foreign
countries as well as a few in the
United States to determine the value
of potatoes as feed for swine. In Ire
land and Germany farmers feed large
quantities of potatoes annually. From
experimental data it has been conclud-
ed that and 41a bushels of potatoes
when cooked are equal to about l
bushel of corn for putting gains on
hogs. Therefore, if corn is worth 80
cents a bushel, potatoes when fed to
hogs would be worth only Is to 20
cents a bushel. There may, however,
be instances where it would be more
advantageous for the farmer to feed
to hogs right on his own place at least
part of his crop rather than to haul
these potatoes to an already over
loaded market.
According to the concensus Of opin-
ion, potatoes are fed to the best adj
vantage when cooked or steamed and
mixed with other feeds. Experiments
in which raw potatoes were fed alone
are said to have caused scours. How
ever, raw potatoes in small quantities
and in diet lacking succulence may
be conducive to health in pigs.
In cooking potatoes only enough
water should be used to make mealy
mash and prevent burning. The re-
sultant meal should then be mixed
with corn meal or other grain supple
ment Tankage, skim milk, or meat
meal would probably add to the profit
of the mixture. Potatoes when pre-
pared in the manner described and
under the conditions mentioned can
often be fed to pigs with advantage.
A rank growth of weeds becomes an
asset when plowed under before they
make seed.
And some people make us tired
because we can't run fast enough TO
get away from them.
A good many troubles in raising lit
tie chicks can be overcome by keeping
the water dishes clean and sweet.
Charcoal is not used as a grit, being
too soft for that purpose. But, it has
been found excellent, however, as
of bowel disorders, espe-
cially when indigestion from over
feeding, or lack of vitality to take
care Of the feed with their digestive
organs and little charcoal in the
mash or put where the chicks or fowls |
have free access to it will be found ,
beneficial.

bushes will not bear as well as care
fully pruned and cultivated ones, but
they are much better than a waste
place. Be sure the home garden has
generous row of currant bushes. We
would recommend both white and red
sorts. Finally if you do not go in for
commercial growing, have a half
dozen plum and cherry trees in close
proximity to the house. Pears, both
early and late, should be raised for
home use. The farm thus supplied
can be sold much more readily should
occasion require, but after planting
all these trees, we are sure the aver
age man and woman will prefer to
keep the place and enjoy it themsel-

Fruits as an Agricultural Asset


No farm should be without an
abundant supply of fruits. Most
farmers realize that orchards and
small fruit gardens are valuable as
sets when they wish to sell the place,
but some still labor under the delu-
sion that it means lots of labor and
money to get a supply. 1t is true that
fruit trees must be cared for if one
would expect adequate returns, but
the writer is not aware that anything
of much value can be raised today
without care. Hence fruit trees, vines
and bushes pay as well as anything
and they are a factor of untold value
in making the old homestead more at
tractive to both old and young.
While it may not be advisable to
set many trees in the fall, yet there
is no better time to get the land
ready both for large and small fruits.
Perhaps the ideal location for all kinds
of fruits is a gentle hillside, not steep
enough to cause serious washing and
yet having slope enough to allow for
air drainage. This latter is of the ut
most Importance in the case of peach,
pear and plum trees and to a lesser
degree with the small fruits. An east
erly or northerly slope is considered
best for tree fruits but any slope is
better than level ground. BY plant
ing an apple orchard and intercrop-
ping for a number Of years with
small fruits. one may realize an in
come from the land almost from the
first year.
If contemplating the planting Of
such an location, we would pillow and
fertiize thoroughly this fall, thus
having the land all ready TO put in the
trees in the early spring. If setting
apple trees, we would choose varie-
ties for their quality and try to pro-
duce a superior product. Between
the rows Of trees, we would raise
strawberries and raspberries, with
perhaps a few blackberries and cur
rants. We know of several orchards
which are being managed in this way
fact that the ground is clearly titled
and the fruit trees receive the benefit
of the cultivation.
Aside from planting fruit trees as
commercial proposition, there are
many old hooks and corners about
RE farm buildings which can be
made attractive and productive by
setting fruit trees and bushes. There
is no better vine for covering a rustic
arbor than a grape. Unsightly walls
and fences may be hidden in the same !
time. An untitled corner may be set
to raspberry bushes and it will afford |
many delicious dishes of fruit for the !
table. To be sure, these half-wild !

"Cloyerland" Poultry interests"

"Cloverland," Upper Peninsula,
Michigan, according to Judge James
A. Daley Of Mohawk, is developing
rapidly as a poultry raising section.
At ten fairs this fall there was an

any one fair was 900 and the smallest
entry 35, or an everage of about l42.

Breeds of Sheep for the Farm

Wy AAaA
The Cheviot is a mountain breed.
1t is accustomed to grazing over
rough places and is very active and
alert, both in appearance and be-
havior. Ii is vigorous and hardy,
and capable of producing mutton upon
lands unsuited to other breeds.
The breed is distinguished by the
short and very blocky appearance,
which is due in part to the length of
the fairly dense fleece. There are no
brown markings, and the bare white
face with the strong nose, prominent
eye, and erect ear have gained the
Cheviots many admirers. The confor-
nation has been much improved, but
sharp and poorly covered shoulders
are common. In development of hind
quarters the breed rivals the South
down.

Good Road to Grand Rapids

The last gravel was placed on the
Hastings Freeport road on Saturday
and there now exists a good road all
the way to Grand Rapids. The com
pletion of this two-miles gap in the
highway between Hastings and Free
port marks an epoch in the history of
road building in Barry county, which
needs every mile of good road that
can be built. The new route to
Grand Rapids will probably draw the
travel from the former way via Mid
dleville, Caledonia and Green lake.
Drive one mile north of Freeport, go
two miles west to Waters Corners
and turn north and follow a crushed
stone road to Alto From there the
route to Grand Rapids leads through
Cascade.

Good Roads AsSocia ton.

During the winter, whenever a
thaw is coming on, the cross drains
and side bitches should be opened up
as far as possible so as to prevent
water collecting along the roadway.
If the thaw is so pronounced that the
roadway is softened, the drag should
be used; sometimes one round trip of
the drag, with the hitch reversed, will
entirely rid the earth road of slush
and melting snow and leave the road
surface practically dry. Don't get
the idea that the drag is not needed
on your earth and gravel roads in the
winter time. Instead, keep it where
you can get at it readily, for if the
winter is an ordinary one you will
need il many times.
Winter destruction begins in the
early fall. The best way to prevent
such destruction is TO forestall it.
Keep the road dry and remember that
so long as it remains so it will not be
seriously injured by frost. Keep the
drains open, the bitches clear, remove
all vegetation and litter, and use the
drag frequently If the road is kept
dry to a depth of 2 feet below the
surface there will be little trouble
from the coolest winter.
