PROPER BR0OD-SOW RATI0NS
Feed Has Much to Do With Strength
Of Lltter-ResuIts Obtained at
Iowa Station.

The brood sow's ration has much to
do with the strength of the litter, ac-
cording to results obtained at the Iowa
experiment station.
In a lot of gifts fed a ration Of ear
corn plus one-tenth as much tankage
by weight, SO per cent Of the pigs were
classed as strong at birth. The per-
centage of strong pigs with corn alone
was 6S. The percentage with other
rations follows:
Shelled corn, chopped clover and
molasses, So per cent strong; ear corn
plus clover in rack, "a per cent strong (;
ear corn plus alfalfa In rack, "a per
cent strong.
The cost of newborn pigs with ear
corn and clover was 81 cents, with ear
corn and alfalfa 30 cents, with ear
corn and tankage 10 cents, and with
ear corn only Al cents. These cost
figures were based on corn at so cents
bushel, and would have to be multi
piled by "a or three to make them
apply to present conditions.

market in December by a wider spread
In prices paid for receipts, the fat
hogs topping the market.
Market reports for early winter also
showed that hogs were being sent to
packing centers at a much heavier av-
erage weight than has been the GUS
tom for some time, thus indicating that
farmers were finding it profitable as
well as patriotic to put more fat on
their hogs. The feeding for more
weight has been done by the farmers
in direct response to the many re-
quests that hog production be in
creased. 1t was impossible to enlarge
the number of hogs Immediately; that
will come with the spring filters, and
again in the fall. 1t was possible,
however, to add weight to the hogs on
hand. An abundance of feed, although
in some localities of poor quality has
greatly favored farmers, and those IA
vorably situated should feed hogs un-
til they weigh $50 to 300 pounds. Not
only have they kept hogs on their
farms until the animals carried weight,
but the demand at packing centers for
feeder or lightweight hogs to be ship
ped back to the country was unprece-
dented during the early winter.
Those who have to buy feed or find
it necessary to economic on feed
which they have purchased may find
it more to their advantage to market
hogs at lighter weight because Of the
relative slowness and higher cost Of
putting flesh and fat on heavy hogs.
A weight of about 200 pounds may be
attained at from ten to eleven months
Of age.
