FORAGE CROPS FOR THE PIGS
Rape Found Superior to Oats for Hogs,
Both as to Gains Made and In
Feed Produced.

In several trials at the North Dakota
experiment station, oats seeded alone
as forage crop for growing pigs dur
ing the summer months made it pos
sible to materially reduce the amount
Of grain required to produce a pound
Of gain as compared to the amount
required in dry lot feeding.
Where dry lot feeding required 4.3
pounds of grain to produce one pound
of gain, S.2 pounds of grain were suf-
ficient to produce pound of gain
with pigs foraging on coats. This
would make a saving of about IL
cents per pound in the cost of produc-
ton. Ss4 81.
In all comparative trials at this sta
ton, however, rape has been superior
to oats as forage for hogs both as
to gains made by the pigs and the
amount of feed produced per acre.

PROPER AGE TO WORK COLTS
Three-Year.old Can Do. Much Work,
but Care Must Be Exercised That
Animal ls Not Strained. 81

Colts of the heavy draft breeds are
put into hard work oftentimes too soon
merely because they are large and
have the appearance Of strength. The
heavy bone is soft and the muscles are
not closely knit.
The three-year-old can do q lot Of
work without injury, but it must be
work that demands no severe strain
ing. It is with even more difficulty
that the four-year-old is kept in good
condition when worked continuously.
Light work demanding no strain is
all that can be done safely by the
heavy. loose-jointed horse until it is
i've years old. If it pays its way dur
ing these two years it does enough
and the profit will come from having
q sound draft animal when it begins to
reach maturity.

RAISING EARLY LAMBS
Animals Must Have Good Qualify
to Be Plump and Fat.
First Essential Of Success Is That
Sheep Have Suitable Quarters and
Be Kept Dry and CIean-Dor-
sets Are Favored.
(By w. M. KELLY

In no other time of feeding can
greater profits be secured on the
amount Of feed consumed than in
raising and feeding early lambs. The
people who eat this class of mutton
are the wealthy, who are willing to
pay the highest price if the quality
is right. The best early lambs must
have good quality to be plump and
fat and have q good development of
lean meat and muscle and be tender
and juicy. Study and observation
will give man a general idea of the
business, but there are many points
that must be learned from actual ex-
perience before man can have q
fair assurance of success.
The first essential Of success is that
the sheep have good. warm quarters
and that they be kept dry and clean.
The Dorsets are the best breed for
early lambs for the reason that they
will breed any time that it is desired
to have the lambs drop, but for the
common farmer who is going to start
in the business on small scale, I
think thata flock Of first-class Merino
ewes mated with Dorset ram will
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1915-04-30

soon grade up and make very eff
cient flock OF ewes for the desired
purpose.
With all breeds there is certain
percentage of ewes that will not breed
at a time when the lambs will come
at the right time for the early lambs
and these eve lambs may be so i'm
proved by the use of Dorset rams that
they will make excellent ewes to re-
tain for breeding purposes.
In this way in few years q flock
of grade Dorsets will be ready to re-
place the Merinos that were used in
the beginning. OF course If it were
possible for man to secure a flock
of grade Dorsets at reasonable
price it might prove more economical
but it is almost out of the question
at the present time as very few men
have this class of ewes for sale.

CHOOSE BIRDS FOR BREEDING
Breed Type Is First Thing to Look
Observation-Disclosures vigor ls Of
Much Importance. e

It might be well to point out few
Of the important things to be looked
for when choosing the birds for the
breeding pen. Let us first take it for
granted that the breeder is keeping
a pure breed. Then the first thing to
look for in his breeding birds, both
males and females, is breed type. A
bird that has breed type is one that
is of correct size; has the correct
comb shape; the correct body shape;
and the correct color for the particu.
lar breed to which the individual be.
longs. The next characteristic to look
for, and one that is of paramount inn
portance, is constitutional vigor. The
reason that our pure breeds have not
reached a higher general average from
utility standpoint is because they
have been selected largely for fancy
feathers and body shape, sacrificing
the important utility characteristics of
size, and especially constitutional
vigor.
Constitutional vigor is of Importance
first, because it determines to a large
extent the productive and disease re-
sisting capacity of the individual hen
or male bird, and, because it deter.
mines largely to what extent that
