WEAVING TROUGH FOR PIGS.

keep the trough clean. as there Is
plenty Of room for one to work con-
veniently with scrubbing brush on
the inside Of the trough. Water ap-
piled freely. together with vigorous
scrubbing. will keep the trough clean
and sanitary. The trough is seven
feet nine inches in length and weighs
only fortythree pounds. making 1t
very convenient for one man to han
die. This trough. constructed as
cheaply and as durably as possible. Is
sufficiently strong to prevent the pigs
from breaking 1t to pieces.
Lumber seven-eighths Of an inch thick
is used in constructing the trough. with
the exception Of the floor and ridge
pole. The floor is made from one inch
stuff. while the ridgepole can be made
from piece Of lumber two inches
square dressed.
The following bill Of material IL nee
essary to construct the weaving trough:
One piece one inch by one foot by
twelve feet for the floor and ends. The
end pieces can be dressed down to
seven-e1ghths Of an inch.
One piece seven-eighths by four inch.
es by sixteen feet for the two sides.
One piece two inches square by eight
feet dressed for the ridgepole.
One piece seven-eighths by one and
one-quarter inches by fifteen feet for
the partition pieces.
Total number Of board feet, twenty.
Thirty-six screws one and one-quar-
ter inches no. o. to fasten the parti.
ton pieces.
Fifty-two nails (eightbenny,. fourteen
used to fasten each end piece to the
ridgepole, sides and bottom, twelve
used to fasten each side piece to tho
floor of the trough.

the one here described will aid each

How Much Silaqs to Feed.

When cattle are fed on silage with
no other roughage thirty pounds Of
the ration to each thousand pounds
of animal is about the right amount a
day, whether the herd is kept for beef
or milk. This assumes that grain will
be fed to balance the ration. Horses
may be properly fed twenty pounds a
day for each thousand pounds of
horse. When cattle are fed on both
siiage ard pasture fifteen pounds a
day of silage to Il thousand pounds of
animal is n good ration. Sheep will
safely tase care of two pounds Of 81
lage day for each member Of the
flock.

Silace For Beef Cattle,

The man who Is handling herd Of
beef breeding cows may keep them In
ideal condition by grazing in summer
and feeding sllage with alfalfa or clo-
yer hay in winter. thus carrying them
through the entire year without the
use Of grain or concentrates. says the
adaptable to those sections where farm.
ing and grazing lands are in close prox-
unity. Where alfalfa or clover hay Is
not produced successfully the addition
Of one pound Of cottonseed meal daily
to a ration Of silage and straw. fed &C.
cording to appetite, will carry breeding
cows through the winter in the best Of
condition.

Young pigs, just after they are taken
away from their dam. should be given
their feed in such u manner that each
individual pig gets its share. The
simplest way to accomplish this Is to
allow the pigs to eat from properly
constructed feed trough, one that will
keep the pigs out OF the feed and VIII
lessen the possibility of crowding.
The weaving trough shown in the
accompanying illustration is used with
good results on the government eX'
perimental farm at Beltsville. Md.
This trough Is large enough to hold
a quantity of slop sufficient to feed
twenty weanling pigs weighing ap-
proximately thirty-fve pounds. 1t Is
only three inches deep. thus enabling
the pigs to get at their feed very con-
veniently. The construction of the
