FEEDING FOR NINETEEN
DOLLAR PIGS; FEEDING

Two points need to be considered
when fattening young pigs for the
market, namely; how shall the corn be
fed, and what shall we feed with It t.
furnish the growing animal with mus
Gle and ne-building constituents.
After conducting experiments for
ten consecutive winters Henry found
that grinding corn effected saving
Of 8 per cent. This means that. with
corn at $500 per hundred. Il cents can
be saved on every hundred pounds fed,
by grinding. If barley can be secured
cheaper than corn the Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station recommends one-half
the corn in the ration being replaced
by the same number of pounds of roll
ed barley.
A summary of thirty-two trials at
various experiment stations answers
the second point. Although the pigs
averaged 116 pounds when put on full
feed, the lots fed corn and another
feed rich in protein and mineral such
as tankage, wheat middlings, hnseed
meal or alfalfa meal, made over 4O
per cent larger gains and required ~
per cent less feed for 100 pounds gain,
than the lots fed corn alene. Tankage
has proven to be one of the most eco
nomical supplements with corn at THIS
Station and should be fed one part
to six parts Of corn.
Some feeders are wondering If al
falfa meal will prove economical under
the present condition of high priced
feeds. With alfalfa meal at $40 per
ton and corn at $2.75 per hundred, cost
of feed per 100 pounds gain is s129
With tankage at $50 per ton and corn
at $2.75, cost Of feed per 100 pounds
gain is S12.75. The hog feeder will
find alfalfa meal nearly as economical
as tankage and when marketed thru
hogs will assure him good profit

Tho Apple Canker.

The Maine department Of agricul-
turc, through the State horticulturists
bureau has been investigating the mat
ter of the apple canller and has had ex-
tensive correspondence with other
states. Commissioner A. w. Gilman
back in 1910 reported that he "had
visited hundreds of orchards and had
failed to find one entirely free from
the disease" Assistant Horticulturist
s. II. Eaton says that in 1916 he no.
ticed many trees affected with canker.
He says that canker in Maine or
chards is a serious question. 1t Is q
fungus disease, spreads rapidly can be
checked but will prove very bad II al
lowed to run and often proves fatal.
It spreads when pruning Is being done
by the instruments not being disin,
fected, which may be done with a cop
per sulphate or corrosive sublimate
solution, and also from the winter kill
ing Of twigs and branches, which al
lows the entrance of the parasite which
causes the canker. Wounds will also
allow this. The most effective treat
ment is to cut and cut close; burn all
the refuse and then paint all the
wounds.
One Of the most interesting letters
Mr.. Eaton received in his correspond
erce with the horticulturists Of other
states was one from J. c. Whiten, pro-
fessor Of Horticulture at the University
of Missouri. who writes in detail of the
progress of the disease and its treat
ment in that state. Mr.. Written says
in his letter. May mention that Au-
that reason I have been additionally in
terested in your inquiries"
Mr.. Written writes in part:
l-Some varieties Of trees, notably
Jonathan, Delicious, Winesap are
very resistant Of canker. while others.
like the Gano Ben Davis and Willow
Twig, are very susceptible to 1t. In
selecting varieties to plant in sections
where canker Is severe. we advise CIV
ing attention to these points Of resis-
lance Of certain forms grown in this
section.
2-Canker is much more severe In a
drouth summer than in q year of nor
NAL, weli-distributed rainfall. In a
summer when rainfall Is adequte most
varieties Of apple trees on good soils
will hold their own against encroach-
nent of canker or in many cases even
outgrow 1t except where the tree Is far
gone. In drouth summers or in soils
that suffer badly from drouth. canker
will kill off susceptible varieties very
rapidly and injure even the resistant
varieties, if not controlled.
3-Canker gets in mostly through
wounds, though it is possible for the
spores of the disease to infect the trees
