wheat bran. middlings and linseed. oil

Clover and alfalfa and mixed hay
cut early and cured properly are the
best kind of roughage for breeding
animals of all kinds during the win
ter. We must not forget the brood
sows when feeding clover and alfalfa
hay. as these folders will afford bulk,
which Is so essential in maintaining
them in healthy, vigorous, flesh
forming condition. The mechanical
condition of these feeds may be
greatly improved by running through
a cutting box and steaming and mix
ing with wheat bran, middlings and
other mill feeds before it is fed to the
brood sows.
All breeding animals should have
an abundance of succulent foods dur
ing the winter. and these may be pro-
vided by laying in supply of corn
ensilage and roots. For breeding
sows. roots. vegetables and waste
fruits are the best form of succulence
and 1t will pay every farmer to raise
a crop of roots to feed his breeding
swine during the winter.
Some farmers and writer's advocate
feeding hogs corn ensilage. but I am
not in favor of this practice and have
seen no good results from feeding
ensilage to hogs.
All changes should be gradual and
the condition of the animals should
be carefully noted while the changes
are being made. so that the animals
digestive system win not be deranged
before we can correct the ration.

MANAGEMENT OF THE BREEDING ANIMALS
Pigs Strong Strongly

By w. MILTON KELLY
The winter is the most critical pc
Rod in the care Of breeding animals
and many farmers would find larger
and more certain profits from their
farm stock II they would give more
time and study to the winter care and
feeding of their breeding animals.
All kinds of breeding stock require
good shelter-that is. dry. clean.
comfortable and 80 constructed that
there will always be an abundance of
pure air without exposing the AMI
mails to cold drafts.
Brood sows and breeding ewes re-
quire plenty of room and will thrive
best If separated in punches 30 as to
prevent crowding and fighting at the
troughs and feed racks. Pregnant
animals should not be kept with other
animals where they will be compelled
to fight their own way for a place to
eat and drink. as they are more sub
ject to injury, and violent exercise is
quite apt to cause serious trouble.
Exercise is an important essential
in the winter management of all kinds
of breeding animals and the yards
should be large enough so that the
animals may go out and in as they
please during every pleasant day.
Many swine breeders make prac-
tice of feeding their brood sows quite
q distance from their sleeping quar-
tiers in order to induce them to exer-
else freely. and have found this an
excellent plan. for many sows become
sluggish during pregnancy and will
not exercise unless compelled to.
Exercise il not very beneficial to
the muscular and maternal develop
ment of breeding sows. but 1t pre-
vents constipation which is one of
the most serious problems We have to
contend with II our sows are in good
flesh condition.
Breeding bulls. boars. rams and
stations should have plenty of fresh
air, light. and exercise during the win
ter. Our animals cannot develop good
bone. muscle. constitution. etc.. II they
are compelled to spend the winter in
the dark. filthy. poorly ventilated pens
and stables and not allowed to exer-
else during the favorable weather
The grain ration of breeding AMI
mails had best be made up largely
of homegrown grain foods. such az

time the bed is made. A hotbed has
artificial bottom heat while q cold
frame does not. This heat may be
supplied in q number of ways but the
farmer will find stable manure from
the horse stable the most satisfactory
for heating.
The common type Of hotbed frame
is made 6 feet wide, IL feet long with
IL and 6-inch sides respectively. The
depth of the frame varies according
to the plants to be grown. Two by
3-inch cross bars are placed at inter
walls to support sash and give the
frame firmness. II frames are to be
used each year. it il advisable to make
them of good Pinch material with
bolted parts 30 they can be readily
taken apart and stored until needed.
Standard hotbed sash are made feet
by 6 feet. Thus Q 12-foot frame re-
Quires four sash.
The manure used should be made
uniform in composition by forking 1t
over several times before placing 1t
In the pit. Hotbeds which are in
tended to last for two months should
have from two to three feet of ma
nure. The longer the heat required
the more manure should the BED con-
tain. ~
A layer of coarse material IL first
placed. in the bottom of the pit to
keep the manure from coming In con-
tact with the ground. When fermen-
tation has developed sufficiently in the
manure, place it in the pit, tramping
It firmly. A layer Of leaf mold or
some coarse material IL then placed
ON top Of the manure. Soil IL then
placed to q depth according to the
requirement of plants to be grown.
An average depth Of soil IL six inches.

at first. Planting should not be done
until it has fallen below 30 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Seeds may be sown directly in the
soil or In small. shallow boxes, COM
monty called flats" The method of
sowing the seed depends upon the
operator and kind Of seed. The frame
will need ventilation on bright sunny
days. The grower should watch the
frame each day, for 1t should be ham
died as local conditions require. Ven
tilation can easily be given by raising
the sash q few inches. II possible.
avoid dull cold days for watering the
plants. Lower the sash In time to re-
tain ample heat throughout the night.
Endeavor to maintain growing condi-
tons in q hotbed at all times. This
will require close attention to venti-
lation and watering. When plants are
stunted in Q 'hotbed the best results
from them in the garden cannot be
expected. In brief. the points to con-
slider in management Of hotbed are:
~ Maintaining proper heat (2) ven-
tilating. 90 Watering. "a Harden
ing on. ~ Transplanting.
Beginners are apt to start their
plants too early in the season. Plants
should be stocky, strong and vigorous
when they leave the frame. II plants
are poorly grown or growth retarded
very little il gained by the use Of .
frame.
Buying cheap seeds is poor economy.
Good seeds must be true to name,
virile, pure and be of the greatest pos.
sible longevity. Buy the best seeds
that Q reliable scotsman has to offer.
Endeavor to secure the superior and
improved strains at all times for In
this way only can undesirable seed be
avoided. It IL seldom wise for the
farmer to grow his own seed. Careful
judgment should be exercised in choos-
ing garden seeds. and they should al
ways be ordered in ample time before
planting to secure Q good choice and
receive them In due time.
