GOOD MATERIAL FOR GROWTH
Alfalfa, Either in Green State or az
Hay, Is One Of the Best Feeds for
the Young Pigs.

The pig which does not grow. but
merely gets fat. is likely to die of
'thumps." Corn makes fat. The
small grains are richer in the things
that make the bone and muscle need
ed II the pig is to grow. Two parts
of shorts TO one Of corn is a growth
ration rather than a fat ration.
Skim milk furnishes a good material
for growth il fed with little corn.
When the shoats reach the weights OF
abouts 75 pounds, the feed may be
made Of one part of tankage to ten
parts OF corn, or one of the small
grains. Small grains should be ground
or crushed.
Alfalfa, either in the green state or
as hay. is one of the best of feeds for
the young pig. 1t feeds the bones and
muscles. but should have corn to rem
der 1t complete. These ideas have
been found correct by the Nebraska
station. Those who have not the al
falfa may grow rape as growth crop.
1t is equal to alfalfa in materials for
bone and muscle.

RAISING HORSES FOR PROFIT
Every Available Sound Mare Should
Be Bred to Meet the Demand
Caused by European War.

Ever since the first days of bicycles
some have thought that the breeding
of horses would become improbable.
Meanwhile the horse has kept its place
among domestic animals and we now
have more than ever before. With
the European war on us and so many
horses being killed in battle the near
future probably will see a greater
demand for horses than at any time
in the last century.
1t is not advisable to breed mare
having serious defects, but every
sound mare available should be bred
to stallion to produce stock to sup
ply the coming demand. Don't think
you are economizing to breed to some
