STRAW SHED FOR LIVE STOCK
Satisfactory and inexpensive Method
Of Securing Ample Protection
for Farm Animals.

A stable that will protect from cold
weather and storms may be construct
ed with little expense when straw is
plentiful. Each COW, If to be tied,
needs about fifty square feet of floor
space to allow for manger. feed alley,
place for her to stand and room to
get behind her for milking, cleaning,
etc. Young stock will need about half
as much space. A barn 16x90 feet or
one 32x45 will furnish room enough for
twenty cows and ten head of young
stock.
A straw shed for cattle should be
seven or eight feet high. The construc-
tion of such buildings is very simple.
Posts are usually set in the ground
eight to twelve feet apart. and strong
tinlbers put on top of these with poles
close enough together to carry the
straw on top of the tfmbers. Walls
two or more feet apart and packing
with straw. These walls may be made
of poles, boards or woven wire, as de-
sired. .-..
Hogs will require from ten to fif-
teen square feet of floor space each
in straw shed. Fifty hogs will re-
quire a shed about 20x3O feet in size.
1t is better to keep the hogs in a sep
arate building from the cattle. The
shed for hogs need not be more than
four or five feet high. It is advisable
to make the walls tight, using woven
wire, or something equally good, SO the
hogs will not work out through the
wall. .......

SUPPLYING WATER TO SWINE
One Of Difficult Problems Hog Rails
ers Must Solve In Winter-Tank
Heaters Are Best.

It is true that hogs, especially pigs.
do not get as much water as they need
during cold, freezing weather. The wa.
ter should be heated in cold weather to
at least so degrees Fahrenheit, and it
is better If it is heated to 70 or 80 de-
grees. How to heat the water and
keep 1t warm is one of the difficult
problems hog raisers have to solve in
winter.
Some folks water the hogs several
times during the day and pour all tho
water that is left out of the troughs
as soon as the hogs drink.
Others have arranged various de-
vices in which they can use tank heat.
ers. This is the most convenient and
satisfactory way II large number Of
hogs can be watered at one place. Tho
method to use will have to be deter.
mined by local conditions.
Hogs do not thrive or make good
gains when ice water is given them in
troughs that already are half filled with
ice.

FARM
ANIMAL
FEEDING POTATOES TO HOGS
Fed to Best Advantage When Cooked
or Steamed and Mixed With varl
ous Other Feeds.

On account of the low price Of po-
tatoes in many sections farmers have
been seeking information as to the
possibility of feeding them to hogs.
Many experiments have been con-
ducted in Germany and other foreign
countries as well as few In the
United States to determine the value
Of potatoes as feed for swine. In Ire
land and Germany farmers feed large
quantities of potatoes annually. From
experimental data it has been con-
cluded that 4 to ~ bushels of pota-
toes when cooked are equal to about
on hogs. Therefore, If corn is worth
30 cents bushel, potatoes when fed
to hogs would be worth only 1S or 20
cents a bushel. There may, however,
be instances where it would be more
advantageous for the farmer to feed
to hogs right on his own place at least
part of his crop rather than to haul
these potatoes to an already over
loaded market. .....
According to the consensus of opin-
ion, potatoes are fed to the best ad
vantage when cooked or steamed and
mixed with other feeds. Experiments
in which raw potatoes were fed alone
have been reported. In certain in
stances the raw potatoes are said tc
have caused scours. However, raw po-
tatoes in small quantities and in diet
lacking succulence may be conducive
to health in pigs.
In cooking potatoes only enough wa
ter should be used to make a mealy
mash and prevent burning. The re-
sultant meal should then be mixed
with corn meal or other grain supple
ment. Tankage skim milk, or meat
meal would probably add to the profit
of the mixture. Potatoes when pre-
pared in the manner described and
under the conditions mentioned can
often be fed to pigs with advantage.
