SELF-FEEDER FOR
HOGS Ne VI DEVICE
Rapid and Economical Gains
Made by Allowing Animals
to Help Themselves.

The quickest. easiest. and most
economical method Of fattening
pigs. with the least expenditure of
grain and labor, is through the use
of self-feeders. A self-feeder con-
sists of a hopper large enough to
hold a supply of feed sufficient 10
last several days and a trough ! ~
low it into which the grain flows
as the pigs eat it. Hogs do not over
eat, as might naturally be supposed,
when they have free access TO these
feeders, but a number of tests con-
Quoted by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and various
state experiment stations show that
with the ingredients of a good ra-
ton constantly before them they
viii make gains more rapidly and
economically than when fed by
hand Results OF experiments set
ting forth these fact together with
plans for constructing self-feeders
have been published in Farmers
Bulletin 9O6, The Self-Feeder for
Hogs
Feeding Tests.
on government experiment
farm at Beltsyile. Nd. IS grade
Berkshire pigs were put on a 20
day feeding test i'm the spring Of
1916. The pigs were kept in a dry
lot and fed a fattening ration Of
corn meal, middlings and tankage.
Nine were fed by hand three times
a day, while nine had access 10 self
feeders. The settled pigs gained
more rapidly and ate more feed,
but less i'm proportion 20 the gains
in weight. than the pigs fed by
hand. In fact. the settled pigs re-
quired less feed per 100 pounds
gain.
In another test three lots of .
grade Berkshire pigs each were
pastured on rye. one lost was self
fed on corn meal and tankaSe and
made slightly more rapid gain. but
required more feed per 100 pounds
gain than another lot settled on
shelled corn and tankagc. Both

economical gains than did a third
lot which was hand fed on corn
meal. middlings. and tanSage.
These tests are borne out by re-
suits obtained at a number OF state
experiment stations. In all, nearly
600 pigs have been used in tests at
these stations and the results show
clearly that more rapid gains are
obtained with the self-feeder than
by the best hand-feeding methods,
partly owing 10 the larger daily con-
sumption OF feed per head and part
~ OWNS 10 the more efficient use
of the grain fed.
Saves Time and Labor.
The marked success of the self
feeding system is largely due TO the
fact that the hogs may eat an
abundance Of those feeds which will
nourish them 10 the best advantage.
BY this plan the average farmer
will have as good results "a the most
expert hand feeder, and the ~esutJ
will be obtained at much less ex-
Tense of time and labor. All the
tests referred 10 show that the in
creased feed consumption and the
more rapid daily gains are not made
at the expense of efficient use of
feed
Adapted to Use Any Kind of Grain
Feed.
The self-feeder may be adapted
10 the use of any kind of grain or
feed, although shelled corn and
ground feeds are most commonly
used. Ear corn may be fed b. this
method. if the hopper is Of sufficient

Must Have Government License I
Operate Sorghum Mill.

In order that we may successfully
regulate the manufacture and distri-
button of table syrups it is necessary
that everybody who manufactures or
distributes syrupS, except retailers
whose gross sales do not exceed
100000 a year, be licensed and be
governed by the regulations applying
to syrup manufacturers and distri-
butors. Therefore, anybody operating
sorghum mill who grinds sorghum
for others or for himself to sell must
be required to take out license and
must be required to observe the reg
ulations.
Under our regulations manufac-
turers and distributors cannot sell
more than 60 days ahead, and if
some of these small mills could go
out and book orders more than 60
days .ahead, it would place persons
under license at disadvantage and
we would be subjected to a consider
able criticism. Therefore, in order
to tie the whole situation up tight.
anybody who makes any syrup and
turns it loose so somebody sells it,
or sells it himself. should take out a
license. This applies whether or not
the person grinding the sorghum
raises his own sorghum.
We trust you will give this infor-
nation to all owners of sorghum
mills in your county. They may
write to this office for the required
blanks upon which they may apply
for license. No charge is made for
license Faithfully yours,

ton, By j. F. Deems.

MUST REGISTER TODAY
Every Man in the United States Be.
tween the Ages of Is and 45
Years Inclusive to Register.

This is registration day, and ev--
cry man between the ages of IS and
with his local board. The registra-
tion boards will be in session from Z
a. m. to p. n., at every voting pre-
cinct in Iowa, and if you are with
in the registration age, you must
register at the precinct in which you
reside. 1t is estimated the number
of men who will register in Iowa will
exceed 2SS,OOO. OF this number it is
estimated that about 81 900 will be
youths from IS to 81 years of age,
and of these at least $4,000 will be
available for service. OF the men
from 3 / to As years, the government
is not anticipating that more than
$1,000 will be available for immedi-
ate service. The registration of
June 5, 1917, numbered about 216,-
900, of which not more than so per
cent were finally placed in class one.
The government is formulating a
new set of rules for claiming exemp-
tions, but these have not been COM
pleted as yet, but it is announced the
claims for exemption will be much
more liberal than in the first regis
tration.
Don't fail to register today. There
is no excuse which the government
will accept for failure to register.
Unless you are 46 years old today
you must register, as the word in
elusive means all who are still in
their 45th YEAR
