BE CAREFUL ABOUT HOG SERUM

More anti-hog serum was manufac- tured last year than in any previous year despite a decrease in the amount of hog cholera, according to reports to the United States department of agriculture. The increased demand tor anti-hog cholera serum is ascribed to the greater value of hogs. with tlie consequent greater loss when one dies. and to the fact that hog raisers are becoming more appreciative of the value of using serum manufactured un- der federal supervision.
 Department of agriculture officials warn hog raisers against the indis- criminate use of medicines or proprie- experience has shown that nothing ex- cept serum, properly prepared and ad- ministered, Is effective Medicines other than serums, according to de- partment officials arc worse than use- less. because they not only fail to cure or prevent disease, but allow the loss of the animals they are advertised t9 save, thus taking money fl om the farmer and meat from the nations $ supply

 Antitoxins, serums and other biolo- gical products for the treatment of do- nestle animals must be prepared in es- tablishments operated under licenses issued by the Secretary of Agriculture before they may be marketed legally in interstate trade.

The hog should be considered as a machine for turning feedstuffs into pork. The more quickly this result can be accomplished the more profitable it is for the owner. It is a common belief that if the grain fed to hogs on pasture is limited, more forage will be eaten and cheaper gains produced. This be- lief is not substantiated by the feeding tests that have been conducted at several agricultural experiment stations. A full feed of grain to hogs on good pasture not only produces the most rapid gains, but usually gives the most profitable results. When account is taken of the saving of labor and the reducing of loss from disease by marketing animals at seven to nine months of age instead of keeping them for a year or more, the advantage is almost always with the. more rapid growth. The self-feeder system which permits hogs to eat grain at will either in pasture or dry lots is becoming more and more popular ln the corn-belt states. and there seems 10 be no valid reason why self-feeders should not prove equally successfui III all parts of the country.
 The hog raiser whether he has two or 200 pigs, who provides pasture for them whenever possible is the one who makes the production of pork most profitable The raising of rapid-growng, heavy yielding forage crops, such. as soy beans. cowpeas, clover, etc, to be fed green to live stock instead of, depending upon the ordinary pasture crops has long been advocated by the United States department of agriculture. Hogging down such crops has been practiced most successfully by experienced hog rasers, who find tht this method, aside from reducing the cost of producing pork, also reduces the labor materially When hogs are permitted to harvest these crops for themselves repeated dem- onstratidhs have shown that there is no waste, which is an objection that is often raised by those who have not tried

LET HOGS HARVEST CORN

Hogging off corn has been tested thor oughy at several agricultural experi- ment stations and by practical hog rasers, and the practice is strongly rec commended. Corn alone is not a satis- factory hog ration. Where the crop is to be hogged off, some other crop should be combined with it. Pumpkins seeded at theYsa time as the corn, soy beans or cowpeas seeded in the same or in alternative rows with the corn, and rye, rape or soy beans seeded at the last Working of the corn have all been used with satisfactory results With one of these combinations no other grain ra- ton is needed, but if there is no other forage growing in the cornfield, some con centrate, such as tankage, cowpea meal or middlings should be fed. It is ad - visable to start the hogs gradually, for a few days, with little green corn be- fore turning them into field of corn to hog it off. The corn is ready for grazing when the grain is dented CT glazed. It will take about one month for fl tol6 hogs, weighing 15o pounds each,
