BROOD MARE SHOULD
RECEIVE GOOD FEED
High Price of Grain Tends to
Make Some Owners Stingy
With Winter Feeding.

Proper food for the brood mare in
winter is not given due consideration

opinion of DR.. G. w. McCampbell as
sociate professor of animal husbandry
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
can increased number of complaints
regarding mares which have lost their
colts are always noted in years of high
priced feeds" said Doctor McCamp-
bell. "This condition is due primarily
to two reasons. The mare owner, be-
ing DESTROYS of carrying his mares
through the winter as cheaply as pos
sible, depends largely upon such
roughages as prairie hay cane, kafir,
and corn fodder. This kind of a ra-

that the characteristics will be trans

Selecting a Bull.
1t is not wise to select bull from
COW even with wonderful record
If she is the only good animal in her
family. In this case she is freak
in her family, and will probably trans
init not her own high milk produc-
ton but the average of the family to
which she belongs.
For a high-producing purebred herd
the safest way is, so far as possible
to select a bull old enough to have
daughters in milk. Ii is then posi-
BILE to judge fairly accurately as to
the character of his offspring.
The two methods Of selecting bulls
are illustrated by the herd bulls owned
by the University of Missouri. Sui

HOG COMFORT AND EXERCISE IN WINTER

The comfort of the animals in win
ter Is an important factor in the man
agement and maintenance of swine
herds in our latitude. While our win
tiers seldom have long periods of ex-
IRENE cold SO that hogs may not profit
ably spend at least part of most
days out of doors, they are neverthe-
less cold and crisp enough to require
that these animals be given comfort
ably warm and dry quarters, says a
Kansas College bulletin.
The hog does not like cold any more
than it does the heat of the hotter
summer days, and thrives best when
kept reasonably warm when feeding
or lying at rest.
At the Kansas experiment station,
hogs kept in an open yard with only
d board fence on the north side for
protection for a period of ten weeks
from November Z on, through weather
ranging in temperature from II de-
grees below, to 81 degrees above zero
out of doors, required one-fourth more

The modern dairy COW is bred so
far away from the wild COW of ma
ture that 1t is only by continual selec-
ton that the production of our herds
can be maintained at the present level
to say nothing of increasing 1t. The
only practical ways for most farmers
to greatly improve the production of
their herds, according TO Farmers
week lecture by c. H. Eckles of the
Missouri College of Agriculture, are
to Gull out the inferior cows and intro
duce the best possible blood through
the sire. The old saying that the sire
is half the herd is literally true from
the standpoint of herd Improvement.
The sire selected should first of all be
a purebred of the breed to which the
cows belong Crossbreeding does not
pay and in the end is disastrous to the
herd.
The age of the bull so far as known
has nothing to do with the character
tstics he transmits. The advantage
of the mature bull is that generally 1t

corn to make 100 pounds of gain than
was required by hogs well sheltered.
Figuring corn worth present prices,
this added a cost of II cents to the
cost of producing 100 pounds of pork;
enough more to pay for good sani-
tary hoghouse in the course of a few
winters.
Yet we must not pamper our hogs
and keep them shut up in the warm
hoghouse all the time. We must
get them out of doors daily and reg
ularly for exercise. We must have
runways or yards conveniently con-
nected with the pens or house, and
scatter some unthreshed peas or bun
die oats or alfalfa hay about for them
to work over in these. Better still,
is to have feeding racks in the yard
to keep these in, as less will be vast
ed then. Such feeds will keep the
hogs interested and busy going forth
and back, and the exercise and inter-
est will keep them feeling comfortable
while they are out.
