PROFIT IN HOGS.

County Agent Robert M. Stiles Of Som
erset county is arousing considerable in
terest with his demonstrations OF SELF
feeders for swine, among the farmers, as
well as in the raising of forage crops.
The cafeteria or self-feeder method OF
giving grain is proving great success in
Maine as we'll as IN the west. In Somer-
set county alone there are over 1OO feed
ers in USE A balanced ration must, OF
co urse, be used in these feeders, or the
pigs will not be healthy, and the price OF
grains so mixed are in direct proportion
to mans locketbook, SO that he must
buy feeds which supply the nutrients at
lowest cost. This is a season when
great many are planning to sow forage
crop for their hogs and thus lessen the
amount of grains necessary to buy, as
well as raising some HOMEGROWN feeds
for next winter.
The Extension Division Of the Univer-
sity of Maine has published a simple
record book for keeping account of the
expense and receipts from hogs, which
they will supply to anyone in the State
who will make use of same.

The ration proposed by the Food Ad.
ministration is almost the same a,
that adopted in England for voluntar,
observance. All over the United King
dom, In hundreds of houses there
hangs in the front window card with
the stirring pledge, "iN HONOR
BOUND WE ADOPT THE NATION
AL SCALE OF VOLUNTARY RA.
TONS"
The ration recommended by the
Food Administra ton, and adopted first
in New York city, whence the idea has
spread through the entire country, is
the following:
Weekly
Allowance
Per Person
Neat-Beef (fresh, sailed, tin
ned and hashed) mutton,
lamb and veal tmuttOn by
preferencel ............... 2h lbs
Butter Observation-Disclosures. u ID.
Cooking Fats (margarine lard,
lard substitutes, vegetable
oils Observation-Disclosures. u Id.

ing gravies, etc, where

The items listed above are the only
ones which are definitely limited. In
the case of milk and cream, as much
may be used as necessary, and chill
dren. of course, must have their full
allowance of whole milk. Fish and
poultry any cereal other than wheat,
vegetables and fruits and cheese may
be used as freely as Is desired.
The above ration is in no wise in
tended to supplant the Home Card,
but rather to supplement it. 1t has
been published with the idea that it
will be very real aid to the Ameri-
can woman in her splendid effort to
carry out the great food conservation
program.
