PORK PRODUCTION ON
GRAIN AND PASTURE
Hogs Can Be Marketed Sooner,
Which Is Often Great Ad-
vantage to Some Farmers.

When corn is high priced and pas
ture plentiful, it will pay to feed less
than full feed of grain to hogs, says
W. L. Robson in the Monthly Bull
letin of the Ohio Experiment station
When corn alone is fed, limited "a
ton is much cheaper because green
feed takes the place of much of the
high-priced grain.
Hogs fed all the grain they will eat
make more rapid but less economical
gains. They can be marketed sooner
which often is an advantage to farm
ers.
For hog pasture, alfalfa, clover, rape
and soy beans are recommended. Corn
is usually fed alone to hogs in such
pasture. Pigs weighing less than 100
pounds should receive a small amount
of protein feed, such as tankage, in
addition to the corn. About 1 part
to 10 parts OF corn is recommended.
With larger hogs pork production is
usually too expensive when tankage
is fed.

KEEPING UP COUNTRY ROADS
Road Drag, Applied at Right Time and
in Proper Manner Will Do the
Trick Every Time.

That country roads can be kept dur
ing most of the year equal to or bet
ter than piked or macadam roads has
been proved time and again. The road
drag applied at the right time and in
the right way viii do the trick every
time. OF course, the road must be
properly drained and rounded up first
But demonstrations all over the coun-
try have shown that in most instances
this can be done at a comparatively
small cost.
The great need today is for the
farmer to realize the value OF good
roads. The cost Of poor roads to the
farmer In dollars and cents has been
figured out. Every rut and mud hole
uses SO much strength of the team
and wears out the wagon so much
sooner than If the road was good.
The size OF the load is limited by the
piece of bad road or the hill which
uses the strength of the team to the
limit. A ten-mile haul may be limited
by an eighth OF a mile of bad road.
A two-tOn load may have to be re-
duced to one ton because of a single
hill.

FARM
WELFARE OF YOUNG TURKEYS
First Few Weeks-AIloW FIocks
to Roam at Will.

Young turkeys must have dry ground
on which to roam. Dampness is fatal
during the first few weeks. Poults
that come out in bright weather and
are blessed with two weeks of sum
shine in which to get a start in life,
may leave earIier-hatched birds behind.
Assuming that the parent stock is Wig
Orous. young turkeys are not difficult
to rear successfully. The mother tur-
key will rid herself of vermin and
teach the young to do the same if she
has access to a good dust bath. A lit
tie pure lard or sweet oil on the head
and under the wings of the poults will
destroy lice effectively.
Unless the weather is unusually
warm and dry it is better to keep the
young birds in a rOOmy open air pen
the first two weeks of their life. After
that they may be allowed to go where
they will, except that it is better not
to let them out until the dew has dried
off in the morning for few weeks
longer. Restraint is detrimental to
turkeys, as a general thing. The av
erage grower should allow the flOckS
to roam over the. fields at will. By SO
doing they will pick up nearly all Of
their summer and early fall food.

PAINT METAL ROOFS
WITH THIN RED LEAD
Because of Oily Surface and
Gloss Paint Does Not Stick
Keep 1t Well Stirred.

CBy J. A BONNELL. South Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station-)
Paint will not stick very well to a
new galvanized roof because Of the
oily surface and gloss Let it weather
awhile, then if still too glossy give it
a brushing with a wire brush.
The best prime coat for metal is red
lead thinned and rubbed On well. Let
it get thoroughly set before applying
second coat. Paint cannot dry in on
metal as it will on wood It must set
and cling only to the surface We
recommend 80 pounds Of dry red lead
to one and One-eighth gallons OF boiled
oil and one quart Of turpentine- Thin,
If necessary, with more turpentine.
Mix the dry lead with three-fOurths
OF the oil a day or so before using so
as to soak it good, then add the rest
of the oil and the tUrpentine when
ready for use. Stir well before and
during use, for the lead settles TO the
bottom. After this prime coat, any

MALE is DISTURBING FACTOR
Practice of Allowing BOOSTERS Free.
dom of Flock After Matching Sea-
son Is Over Is Bad.
By T. E. QUIsENBERRY.,

The one fault in the management OF
farm focks which, from the viewpoint
OF improving the quality of market
eggs, is worse than all others COM
bined, is the almost universal practice
of allowing the males the freedom of
the flock after the Matching season is
over. Nine-tenths of the vast number
of eggs that are candled out every
summer as unfit for food are fertile
eggs in which the germ has started to
develop. A temperature of 20 de-
grees will start the germ in a fertile
egg to slowly developing. A fertile
egg subjected to q temperature of 100
degrees for "a hours will be unfit for
food, while an infertile egg may be
subjected to the same temperature for
a week and still be perfectly good for
cooking purposes.
The simple expedient of shutting
up or diSpOsing of the adult male
birds as soon as the Matching season
is over, If it should become the general
custom, would result in the saving of
a million Of dollars worth of eggs
every season. Another important adj
vantage in having no males in the
laying pens is the fact that the hens
without males running with them are
much more gentle and quiet. The
male is a disturbing factor.

HIGH TEST OF CIVILIZATION
Man Is Road Maker and Progressive
ness of Community May Be Gagged
by Its Highways.

A man driving in the country came
to a stone which had rolled into the
road. He could have gone around the
stone, but, instead of doing that, he
stopped and got out and rolled the
stone away; not for his own sake, for
he never expected to pass along that
road again, but for the sake of others
who would come after him.
''That man." says the Farm and
Fireside, which told the story, ire
sponded to a high, very high test of
civilization. He felt socially" Say
ages do not make roads; their paths
follow the lines of least resistance
and go around distractions. Civilized
man is a road maker, and the progress
siveness Of a community may be
gagged by its roads. The higher the
state of civilization the better the
roads.
A man may be judged, too, by his
attitude toward roads.

feed while the steers in the test were
kept regularly on small quantities OF
food, for long periods so that they
seemed to lose the capacity to eat

able gains
Thrifty yearlings put on feed that
is not sufficient, even to keep up the
body weight they already have, con-
tinue to grow in height and frame
work even when made to lose half a
pound a day. Measurements OF the
skeletons did not indicate any decrease
in the rate OF growth for several
months. Even when these animals
were using the body fat to supplement
the lack OF feed there was q very
noticeable addition of fat in the skeIe-
ton. Only when approximately all the
fat was taken from the soft parts did
the animals begin to draw on the fat
in the skeleton to maintain existence.
Economical Beef.
The most economical choice beef
resulted from the use of a feeder
weighing about $50 pounds so fed as to
make a gain of 500 pounds. Such
a steer viii probably not quite top
the market but he should make the
greatest possible profit to the feeder
and furnish an economical carcass for
the butcher and housewife and meat
of a quality to please the most exact
ing. The carcasses show that OF this
5O0-pound gain; 50 per cent is water,
40 per cent fat, and II per cent pro-
tein- When similar steers were fat
tened until they had gained another
500 pounds or gone from 1850 pounds
to 1,750 pounds, the carcasses were
much overdone and the second 500
pounds was rs per cent fat, Is per

ricultura1 Experiment Station-)
Steers that are fulfilled from birth
should not be held beyond twenty or
twenty-five months Of age because
there is a decided falling of in the
rate OF gain. After this age the car
casSes are overdone, there is an IN
due waste OF excess fat and the gain in
weight in proportion to feed consumed
is much reduced as well as the gain
per day per steer. These are the re-
suits secured in a recent test at the
Missouri agricultural experiment sta
ton in which some steers were full
fed while others received much less
feed.
The steers which received feed in
sufficient for the greatest growth were
most affected by such ailments as in
digestion and pink eye, and their sick
ness was more likely to result in death.
In fact, among more than a hundred
steers in the experiment, all the losses
except one were among the low-fed
animals.
Most Profitable Gains.
Steers fed for long periods such as
Cnree years ana nalI on 1eed 1nSuI-
fcent for the greatest growth, did not
seem to be able to digest their feed
and to make good gains when later put
on full feed. Even a steer whose
growth was greatly retarded for only
one year never equaled in weight
steer of the same age which had been
fulfilled from birth, although when put
back on full feed he made very profit
able gains and developed a very choice
carcass of beef. These results do not
disagree with the common observation
that thin steers often make the most
profitable gains. Such feeders have
usually not been starved so long or so
steadily. They have usually had bulky
feed which kept up the stomach ca
pacity even though it didn't furnish a

or the plant will quickly send forth
new shoots and perhaps seed close to
the ground, where ordinary moving
will not reach it.
If cut off the first year, the root is
not so deep, is more tender, more
easily cut and more easily killed. IF
prevented from seeding, sometimes BIZ
ennials will appear the third year.
Watch for such sprouts.
Cut Before FIowerina.
Another point which may mark the
difference between success and failure
in your weed campaign is to cut Just
before Towering. While the plant is
growing it is storing away vitality to-
ward the time when it shall need it for
fruit production. When it begins 70
produce fruit, it draws on this surplus
stock. When it has budded it has used
large part of this stored vitality and
is weaker than at any other time ex-
cept when it is very young. Now is the
time to cut. The seeds will not be
formed enough to live on to maturity,
the plant is at its weakest and is more
readily killed, If in addition, the
weather is hot and dry, it is practically
certain the root will die.
If you wait until it blossoms, some
Of the seed may mature enough to
ripen even after the plant is cut down
and some seed Will scatter for next
years weed crop. II after cutting the
seed seems to be mature enough to
ripen, the only safe way is to rake the
weeds together and burn them. Some
times seed which seems to be green
will mature after it is plowed under,
lie dormant in the soil until conditions
are favorable, then sprout.
Method for PerenniaIs.
To eradicate perennials, the same
proposition holds: Prevent the old
plants seeding; kill the young plants
as they appear; kill the root stock.
The most absolutely effective way to
kill root is to dig it out. II you have
only a small patch and the weeds are
really nOdous, this may be the safest
way. IF you have large patch and the
roots are long and strong this is an al
most impossible task. In any case it is
a dreSome one.

PREVENT RUPTURE IN COLTS
Best Time for Treatment Is When
Animals Are Young-Directions
Given by an Expert
By W. P SHULER Department. ,

The time to treat colts for rupture
in the region of the navel is when they
are young and before the ruptursd.
structures have become large enough
TO permit the passage out Of the alb
dominal cavity Of any portion OF the
inteStineS. 1t should be done at the
time of birth or soon after the navel
begins to close up. This should take
place naturally and completely. and.
the wall OF the abdomen closed to
gether firmly. However, this does not.
always happen, and hence we have q
little pouchlike enlargement forming
that has a direct connection with the.
abdominal cavity. This may close up
Of its own accord, and then again it
may become larger until finally struc-
lures like a loop Of intestines wiz be
able TO work their way into it.
You viii find the following to be
all that is probably necessary: Clip
on the hair around the enlargement
and back two inches from the base
grease the skin thoroughly around the,
edge Of the slipped area; take a glass
rod and some concentrated nitric acid
and, dipping the glass rod into the
acid, draw three or four lines across
this enlargement. It may be neces-
sary to repeat this treatment once or
twice more.
The acid will cauterize IL and cause
scar tissues TO form, which viii ulti-
mately ill up the opening in the alb
dominal cavity and the rupture VIII

ESTIMATE OF AVERAGE LOAD
In This Country II Is About 400
Pounds, While Over European
Roads It is $500 Pounds.

1t is estimated that over our dirt
roads, when level, the average load
drawn by one horse is about 1,4O0
pounds and, when the roads are billy,
about 1000 pounds. In France and
Germany, with improved roads, the av-
erage load is about $500 pounds. Other
estimates show that 5000, 600 tons
of freight pass over the highways every
year, with an average haul of less than
ten miles The average cost is q cents
a ton mile. On good roads the cost
would not exceed eight cents a ton a
mile.
