ANIMAL FOOD IS ESSENTIAL
To Secure Best Egg Yield Poultryman
Must Supply Fowls With Green
Cut Bone or Milk.

If the best egg yield is to be OBJ
tanned animal food in some form must
be supplied during the fall and winter
months. During spring and summer,
fowls having range will obtain ami
nal food in the form of bugs and
worms, but when the frosty days come
and this form of animal food can no
longer be obtained, the poultryman
must supply this element in the ration
scrap or milk.
If to be obtained, fresh bone from
the butcher is not only the cheapest
but the best animal protein food that
can be obtained. Bone is rich in pro
tein, fat and minerals. 1t should always
be fed while fresh. especially If the
weather is at all warm, since it spoils
quickly, and the feeding of tainted
bone is always attended with danger
If it is impossible to obtain bone,
beef scrap will supply the hens with
the needed animal protein. Beef scrap
is a product of the packing houses,
and is the residue from tallow and
lard rendering, thoroughly cooked and
ground.
Cracklings can sometimes be pur-
chased from local butchers at price
much less than that charged by deal
ers for commercial beef scrap. These
are identical with beef scrap in food
elements, and it is always a matter of
economy to purchase and feed them
if possible.
Milk is also an animal protein food.
Milk, however, is not sufficiently rich
in protein to entirely replace bone or
beef scrap. Where milk is fed, it is Gus
tomary to reduce the proportion OF
bone or scrap in the ration one-half.
Milk should be fed always sweet or al
ways sour, since the changing from
one to the other will likely upset the
fowls digestion.

WATCH YOUNG PIGS CLOSELY
Young Animals Take Cholera Easily
II Exposed to Infection-Use of
Serum Is Favored.

Cholera frequently makes its appear
ance among pigs shortly after wean-
ing time. especially where cholera ex-
listed ON the premises the year previ-
Gus. Sows that have been vaccinated
and have survived an outbreak share
their immunity with the young pigs as
long as these are nursing, but when
the pigs are taken away from the sows,
and this protection il no longer afford
ed, the pigs take cholera very easily
if exposed to any infection lingering
on tho premises from the previous out
break.
II signs Of cholera mako their ap-
pearance make preparations to have
the single treatment administered
without delay. From fifteen to forty
cubic centimeters OF serum for each
pig win be required. The amount de-
ponds upon the size aad condition
OF the pigs.
