putting on less flesh than IL he ate %
per cent less feed and was properly
housed
Another factor in properly caring for
winter hog feeding is having a dry and
sanitary feeding place. Many farmers
In recent years have provided cement
floors in their hog lots and sheds. This
means of sanitation is one of the
greatest health promoters and devices
for economy that is used thus far
when actual cost Of building Is taken
into consideration. Many who feed
their swine In dirty. insanitary. mud
hoored hog lots are wasting feed daily
and endangering the health Of the hogs
aS well. The amount of grain saved
alone in the course Of one year would
easily pay for one of those concrete
doors in many cases The feeder can
take an ordinary corn shovel and clean
the cobs and dirt off once daily in ten
minutes. and I'm the same ten minutes
he is saving a large amount Of feed
and preserving the health of the hogs.
Hogs fed under these circumstances
are more healthy. thrifty and better
for the owners meat and marketing
purposes by 30 per cert than being
poorly housed and having msanitary
feeding troughs and pens

WINTER HOG FEEDING.
Proper Housing and Dry Beds indis-

One OF the most important points In

writes correspondent OF the Ameri

bedding should be removed several
times week and replaced with dry
material. A severe winter will con
vince the observing man who cares for
live stock that proper housing means
not only saving OF high priced feed

the feed consumed. A hog that sleeps
where he IS chilled night after night
will naturally require more feed to
keep the warmth of the system nor

Experiments Show That Young AMI
mails Make Economical Gains.
According 10 Professor II. r. Smith.
liberal feeding OF Il steer from the time
he is twelve months old until he is
twenty-four months old will result In
"A gain OF practically two pounds per
day, says the Iowa Homestead. If he
is carried for another year this gain
will be reduced to pound and three
quarters per day. and the following
year it will take liberal feeding to
make pound and half daily. This
means that the largest gains are made
early in life. and ii follows that these
gains will be made cheaper because
the cost Of maintenance is lover. In
emphasizing the matter of cheapness
OF cost OF feeding young animals Pro
fessOr Smith refers 10 six different
trials where accurate records were
kept showing that during the first
