ALL THE STANDARD BREEDS DO
WELL IN GEORGIA.
C. n. R., Montezuma, Ca, writes:
want TO raise some pigs but do not know
what breed 10 select; also what about cat
tIef How does the red dusl-purpose COW
do. or does II pay best to have TO keep tne
two kinds separate?
There are several breeds of hogs
which you could raise successfully In
YOUR section OF the state. The Berk-
shire. Tamworth. Hampshire Duroc
and Poland China are regarded as
tandard breeds for Georgia. There are
some other breeds, OF course whlch
are priced by the owners. but those
maintained up to the present time. We
would not hesitate to start breeding
operations with the Duroc Jersey. This
Is a prolific breed, red in color, ana
compa ratively easy to maintain.
There are several beef breeds OF cat
tie adapted to Georgia. The Angus are
black in color and are specially val
liable for stall feeding. The Herefords
are red and white and valuable graz
iers. The Shorthorns are red, white and
roam. and like certain strains of them
are valuable, especially for beer, otn-
ers are known as the dual purpose type
and are valuable for both milk and but
ter production. We are inclined 10
think that for the average farm the
dual purpose animals should prove very
satisfactory. The farmer desires not
only an animal which kills out to ad-
vantage and natures early. but one
which will yield liberal now of milk
and a considerable amount OF butter.
The Red Polls are a dual purpose breed.
Both they and the Shorthorns are well
adapted to Georgia conditions. You
will not make a mistake in purchasing
good foundation stock of either breeo
MERITS OF VELVET BEANS AS
FOOD FOR MULES.
NJ. ri. G.. Columbus, ga, writes. fledSe
give me a formula constituting balanced
ration for mules using crushed velvet beans
the base.
You can make a very good ration for
work stock by mixing together vef<et
bean and corn and cob meal in equai
proportions by weight. These materi-
ais should be ground thoroughly ana
well mixed You should feed in addi-
ton. pounds of cowpea hay and 10
pounds of shredded corn stover which
is free from dust and mold or some
other clean bright mixed hay.
A ration such as has been suggested
will contain approximately 81 pounds
of digestibIe protein. 14.3 pounds of a.
gestible carbohydrates and OF pound or
digestible fat This would be a well
balanced ration TO feed TO horses and
mules weighing 1000 pounds when do
ing hard work The ration should De
increased or decreased proportionately
according to size.
The peavine hay might be ground ana
mixed with the velvet beans and corn
and cob meal. The slower should be
shredded and thrown in a pile and 20
pounds of the mixture above mentioned
scattered over it, Then moisten II
with a bucket of water containing
handful Of salt and thoroughly mix all
the ingredients together and allow to
stand over night. In this way a very
satisfactory and palatable ration can be
secured.
