GOOD FORMULA FOR
BROOD SOW RATION
Combination of Corn, Alfalfa and
Meat Meal Tankage Recon-
mended by an Expert.

Corn, alfalfa and meat meal tank
age make & very exceptionally good
trio OF brood SOW feeds If happily
combined This is the opinion OF
John NJ. Eyvard, the Iowa hog feed
ing expert He suggests giving the
sows enough corn TO keep them in
good condition, adding alfalfa in a
rack and giving them about one-ffth
to One-fourth Of pound Of the meat
meal tankage daily.
The alfalfa may be ground and
mixed with the corn, using 100 pounds
Of each, and the mixture then fed
from self-feeders. An average gilt
Of $50 pounds viii eat about five to
six pounds Of this daily, so to get the
necessary tankage into il. mix with
every 100 pounds about five pounds
OF the meat product. II the sows get
too fat, increase the proportion OF
ground alfalfa accordingly. The re-
suits should be happy ones at farrow-
ing time.

the common salt at free viii and
plenty Of good wholesome water"
Corn may not be plentiful in this
state this year and all farmers may
not have alfalfa hay. However, they
also may benefit from the foregoing
suggestions. They may feed barley
instead of the corn and clover hay in
stead OF the alfalfa hay and expect al
most equally good results. Meat meal,
though it may cost $50 per ton. is a
relatively economical feed for balanc-
ing such highly carbonaceous feeds
as corn and barley. It is a very
highly concentrated feed.

Sparrow Consumes 0ne-Fourth
Ounce of Noxious Weed Seed
