Farm DePartnnent

that the ration received by fattenina
hogs has much 10 do with the eeopo-
my Of pork production has been
shown clearly in demonstration feed
ing tests conducted at the St Joseph
tMo.) stockyards by the University
of Missouri College of Agriculture
and the Kansas State Agricultural
College working in cooperation. X.
N. Watkins, manager of the demon
stration feed yards at st. Joseph, pre-
sents the following data concerning
the cost of producing pork with the
various rations.
The result given are the average
of four successive ninety-day feeding
periods conducted at the demonstra-
ton feed yards. A ration of shelled
corn and tankage required $3.50
pounds of shelled corn and 2S pounds
Of tankage to produce 100 pounds
gain. The cost of gain was s15.15
Lundred. A ration of shelled corn
and lnseed meal required Ais pounds
OF shelled corn and 81 pounds lin
seed meal to produce 100 pounds
gain. The cost of gain was s15.63
a hundred. One period of feeding
shelled corn, tanSage and shorts
showed approximately the same cost
as shellod corn and tankage. The
feed prices upon which these figures
are based are corn $500 a bushe'.
tanEage $3.50 per hundred pounds,
linseeI meal $500 per hundred
pounds, shorts $3.50 per hundred
pounds.
Feeders will note that pork can be
produced, with feed at its present
high price, at about $500. With
pork at $500, this makes a margin
of nearly $500 to insure a reason
able profit. The unanimous opin-
ion of the best authorities is to the
effect that the present high price of
hogs will be maintained for some
time to come because of the demand
for pork products and the apparent
scarcity of them. The fact should
also be considered that if crops can
be fed on the farm, and made to
bring as much money as they would
if sold, that the fertility left on the
farm makes that method highly ad-
visable.

What is Available Plant Food?


Every reader of farm paper
has encountered frequently the ex-
preston available plant food" 1t
means the plant food which will read
lily dissolve in the soil water so that
the plant can take 1t up. In the ami
NAL stomach there are certain diges-
tive fluids that dissolve the food so
that it can he absorbed into the blood
stream. The soil must serve as n
stomach for plants, and as the plant
food dissolyes in the soil water it is
absorbed into the plant Juices and
moves up, giving a constant circula-
ton. From this it car. be seen that
only dissolved plant food can be us
ed. Almost all soil materials can be
dissolved to a slight extent, but Often
the rate of dissolving Is too slow.

You Should Conserve The Farm Ma
chinery.

Put your farm machinery in sheds
and fix it up in .>tip-top shape this
winter. The shed will cost som,
more than it did before, but the ad.
vance in building materials generally
has not been nearly as great as has
that on machinery.
Secondhand machinery will be
worth money from now on. Saving
the paint on it will make it sell bet
ter. Look the old corn binder over
and see if new parts will not fix il
up before buying a new one. If the
grain binder bothered this fall, give
good overhauling at the first OPP
portunity, and see what new parts i
needs. Send for these parts and re-
pair it. 1t will pay.
Farm machinery will not only raise
higher in price but. is very apt to be
scarce for the next several years.
The curtailing of the iron and steel
now used in the manufacture of farm
machinery is sure to come, and some
preliminary reports state that the
amount allotted to this purpose will
be cut as low as one-half the amount
used last year. In the past steel
and iron have been so cheap we have
formed habit of wasting it, We
must conserve it now. 1t is a bus
mess proposition and a patriotic du-
ty as well.

Sour Stomach.

Eat slowly, masticate your food
thoroughly. abstain from meat for a
few days and in most cases the sour
stomach viii disappear. II II does
not, take one OF Chamberlain's Tab

meats are most likely to cause sour
stomach and you may find it best 20

Hog killing time is coming. 1t is
especially important this year that
each family cure an abundant sup
ply of meat Two methods Of curing
pork are offered.
DRY CURE. Do not cut up the
pork till the carcass is well chilled.
Make a mixture of clean, fine salt 40
pounds, white or brown sugar 10
pounds, white or black pepper 4
pounds, red pepper one-half pound.
This will make enough cure for about
900 pounds of pork. If saltpeter
is desired, use pounds in the above
mixture. 1t will give red color 20
the lean meat, but has tendency to
harden the meat too much. Chilli
saltpeter may be used instead of the
regular saltpeter by taking about 20
per cent less.
Rub each piece of meat thorough
~ with the cure Take special care
to work the cure around the ends of
bone of hams and shoulders. Pack
skin down on a table or in a box in
a cool, airy place. Do not place in di-
rect sunlight or in a damp, musty
cellar. After four or five days over
haul the meat, rub thoroughly with
the cure and repack; repeat this i'll
about a week. Hams and shoulders
should remain in the cure from "
days to . days per pound weight of
piece: the latter time is safer for
meat that is to be kept during the
summer. Bacon should be in the cure
a shorter time. Ten days will give
a very nice, mild cure to a six or
eight pound piece.
BRINE CURE. Make a brine by
boiling : pounds of clean salt and .
pounds of white or brown sugar with
two gallons of water. If saltpeter is
desired add one-fourth pound. This
gives about enough TO cover 100
pounds of pork when well packed.

of meat lightly with salt, sprinkle a

OF meat Put on a board and weight
down with a rock. Allow to stand
over night. Tip barrel on side and
allow the liquor TO run out. Cover
the meat with the cold brine and al
low to stand in cool place or

with the same brine. Repeat in about
a week. Give the meat the same
length Of time for curing as with the
dry cure.
When the curing is complete, wash

Meat kept in the cure

Farm animals must be comfortable
in order that they do as we'll as pos
sible. This is especially true OF
swine, since no farm animal suffers
as much from extremes of heat and
cold as the hog. Most men prefer
to feed hogs in the spring and fall.
for they say the hogs gain more at
these times on the same feeds than
during summer and winter. This is
perhaps in a large measure true on
ly because they are more conforta-
