prepared by the United States Depart

Every hog grower knows that II he
is going to have pigs that will do
their best from the start they must
necessarily be strong and vigorous at
farrowing time. Proper care of the
brood sow usually insures such pigs,
and one essential included In this
proper care is feeding the brood SOW
ration containing good percentage
of protein.
Protein feeds In the form of shorts,
tankage. oil meal. or alfalfa hay should
be supplied. Self-feeders can be used
for these feeds, and 1t is quite sue
cessful to grind the alfalfa hay. Sows
will eat larger percentage OF alfalfa
hay fed In the ground form than
when fed In racks unground. This
alfalfa Is generally cheaper on the
corn.belt farms than any of the other
protein feeds and Is n good balance

had the run of nm excellent rye pas
ture and was fed all they would con.
sumo Of a balanced ration Of cornmeal,
middlings and tankage.
Lot one, settled on cornmeal and
tankage, made nm average daily
gain Of 1.61 pounds, or slightly more
rapid gains than lot two, which was
fed by the seif-feed plan on shelled
coin and tankage, and made daily gain
OF lob pounds. Both these lots made
more rapid gains than the pigs In lot
three, which were hand fed on corn
meal, mlddllngs nnd tnnknge. Lot one,
however. required 81 pounds more
grain than lot two to produce 100
pounds of gain. The most expensive
gains were made on lot three (the
handled loO, where 369.1 pounds OF
mixed feeds were required to produce
100 pounds of gain. The gains were
very profitable in all lots but shelled
corn and tankage settled produced
the best results.
These tests are borne out by results
obtained at a number OF state expert
ment stations. In all nearly coo pigs
have been used In tests at these sta
tions, and the results show clearly that
more rapid gains are obtained with
the self.feeder than by the best hand
feeding methods, partly owing to the
larger daily consumption Of feed per
head, 8 pounds compared TO BAT
pounds, and partly owing to the more
efficient use of grain feed. These tests
show that the average daily gain per
head by the handled method was 1.23
pounds. and by the settled method
l.g2 pounds. The average amount of
feed per 100 pounds of gain was 445
pounds by the handled method, and
AT pounds by the settled methods.

HOW TO AVOID TUBERCULOSIS
Disease Renders More Pork Unfit for
Human Food Than Any Other
Trouble Except Cholera.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
With the exception OF hog cholera,
tuberculosis renders more pork unfit
for human food than any other disease.
In 1916, under federal inspection. which
represents only 60 per cent of hogs
slaughtered In the United States. there
were found infected with tuberculosis
594, 10s hogs, which were condemned
ms were raised In the entire state Of
New York for that year. Aside from
the monetary loss sustained from tu-
berculosls. the fact that II Is transmits
sibe to the human makes It doubly
important that strict measures for Its
eradication he inaugurnted
Hogs contract tuberculosis chiefly
from dairy cows, which are also very
subject to tuberculosis. The disease
In COW infects her milk system, her
lungs. and her throat with tubcrcle
bacllli-the germs which cause tuber-
cuosis In men and animals. Some Of
these germs escape from the COW in
her milk or in her droppings, or she
may cough them out on feed or bed
ding. Hogs get the disease from the
raw milk or dropplngs, or feed infected
by n tuberculous COW. Pasteurized or
cooked milk will not pass the disease
from infected cows to other animals.
Therefore, to protect hogs from tu-
herculosis and to make sure that the
feed will be turned into meat instead
of into fertilizer
I. See that all milk, especially all
skim milk from the creamery Is pas
teurlzed or cooked before II Is fed to
the hogs.
2. Keep the hogs from following
dairy cattle, unless the cattle are tu-
herculln tested. Keep them out Of COW
lots and barns. and keep dairy drain
age out OF hog lots. Hogs can follow
steers without much danger.
3. Give healthy hogs n chance to
keep healthy. Give them clean, we'll
drained lots and plenty of fresh air,
sunlight. and clean water. Shelter
them In well-lighted and ventilated,
sanitary hog houses. Keep the houses
clean and use plenty of whitewash
nnd dlsinfectants.
II there was tuberculosis in your
swine last year, II Is safest to get rid
of the herd, especially the breeding
ahlmals. and raise clean hogs from
'resa stock.

Hogs are good judges of what they
ought TO eat. They can selcc. their
own rations better than their feeder.
If permitted to do so they will eat the
right proportions Of n number of feeds
necessary to make rapid gains. and,
strange to say. they will make these
gains cheaper than II the ration is
carefully measured out and fed to
them by n hog raiser. Numerous
tests in which the self-feeder and
hand-feed methods OF fattening hogs
have been compared show that the
marked success of the self-feedlng
system Is largely due to the fact that
the hogs will eat an abundance Of those
