KEEP LITTLE PIGS GROWING
Eastern Breeder Describes Plan of
WEAVING f'oungsters-First Give
Oats and Milk.

To keep pigs growing properly they
should have as little setback at wean-
ing as possible. This is the way that
an eastern breeder describes his sys-
TEN:
Before my pigs are weaned / teach
them to eat and they are ready and
eager for their meals when they are
weaned. | first give them oats and
milk, putting the oats in trough,
pouring the milk over them so they
cannot get too much milk at one time.
IL | am short on milk, | put oil meal
and middlings in milk and pour it on
the oats. This plan starts the pigs
eating while they are still sucking
their mother and it is the best feed |
have used for this purpose. AS they
get older l feed oats separately and
make slop of oil meal one quart, mid
dlings three gallons, milk and water
20 gallons. Then put 20 pounds of dry
bran in the troughs and pour on the
slop and turn them in Give them
only enough so they will clean it up
we'll as If they wanted a little more.
This keeps their appetite just sharp
enough. A little corn is fed also and
at eight months old these pigs will
make as good as you will find

FEEDING FOR WINTER EGGS
IL Is Never Advisable to Feed Heavily
During Early Hours of Day
Keep the Hens Scratching.

In feeding poultry, it is never advis-
able TO feed heavily during the early
hours OF the day. A hen gorged with
food early in the morning, will have
no incentive to exercise-will lay
around the roosting quarters and take
on fat. In feeding for winter eggs
the appetites of the hens should never
be fully satisfied until just before
they go to roost at night
During the winter months | always
feed the first food of the day in deep
litter, says a writer in an exchange.
The scratch grain is composed of equal
parts whole wheat and cracked corn.
A mash food is never fed early in the
morning, for the reason that it fully
satisfies the appetites of the hens and
they will not work diligently in the
litter. The wet mash is fed at noon or
shortly thereafter. The mash is COM
posed of two parts bran, one part each
OF middlings, cornmeal, cut clover,
beefscrap and ground oats, with the
hulls sifted out. The hens are given
all they will eat of this mash If any
is left after the hens are through feed
ing, it is removed and given to the
hogs. About an hour before dark the
hens are given all they will eat Of
whole corn and wheat and sent to bed
with full crops. Grit, charcoal and
oyster-shell are kept before them all
the time.

SPREADING STRAW ON FIELDS
Helps Prevent Soil Blowing and Az

Where straw is present In such
quantities that it cannot be worked

1t helps to prevent soil blowing and
serves as winter protection for the
crop. As it gradually decays ii be-
