IMPORTANCE OF GOOD FEEDS
Real Problem is to Supply Sufficient

Lay on Fat.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The same good judgment which is
required Of hog raiser in the selec-
ton of stock is very necessary In the
feeding and management. Good selec-
ton will be rendered ineffective If the
feeding and management are not such
that the animals will thrive and yield
a good increase. The real problem in
swine feeding is to supply sufficient
nutritive material for building and re-
pairing the body and furnishing suffi-
cient energy to lay on fat. The most
satisfactory ration must necessarily
be made up Of feeds which are whole
some, relished by the hog, and at the
same time reasonable In cost.

gressive pieces of legislation enacted
in the state for many years. The Mis-
sissippi commissioner of agriculture
says that IL the necessity for such a
law had been realized four .ears prior
to Its passage, Mississippi would no
doubt be the greatest cattle-producing
state in the Union at the present time.
The people who were responsible for
getting this law on tho statute books
foresaw, the possibilities for the per-
manent development of Mississippi's
resources and turning into profit the
abundance of pasture grass which had
annually gone to waste or was eaten
by unthrifty cattle to make blood to
feed ticks.
Work In Louisiana.
Louisiana passed statewide tick
eradication law in 1917. and at the
time 1t was under consideration plant
ers, cattlemen and others throughout
the state hastily sent to their various
lawmakers a flood Of kilograms urg-
ing them to support the measure. This
statewide law did not become effec-
tive until the first of last April. Rec
ords show that during March 100000
clippings were made under state or
federal supervision, while in April the
figures leaped to 100000 and in
creased to~over 100000 during each
of the following two months. Louis.
lana demonstrated that state cannot
afford to wait on few uniformed
stockmen who are opposed to dipping
cattle and who have failed to advise
themselves Of the benefits to be de-
rived from complete eradication.
The entire South is looking forward
with confidence to an era of great
prosperity in the cattle industry as
the net gradually closes around the
last cattle tick.

were 9S7 dipping watts available and
there were SS9,144 clippings of cattle.
During June 995 dipping watts we're
available and there were S41, 263 dip
pings of cattle. The Oklahoma state
council of defense firmly indorses the
cattle tick campaign as food con.
servation measure and In this 1t hns

state.
Food Conservation Measure.
In statement just issued by the
Oklahoma state council of defense
this body goes on record as regarding
the eradication of cattle tick, which
conveys q disease which kills thou
sands Of beef-producing animals and
makes scrubs of all in a quarantine
area, most important food conserva-
ton measure. At meeting of the
council resolution was passed direct
ing county councils to indorse the
action of the state and federal agents
In every way possible. 1t is hoped, the
statement says, that no misguided citi-
zen, for reasons which may appear
to him of personal Importance, will In
any wny lend himself to the creation
Of any opposition to this important
food conservation measure which Will
also contribute very materially to the
prosperity of the state.
Benefit Of Eradication.
The benefit to be derived from Grad
icating the tick is shown by the Inn
proved conditions after quarantine has
been lifted. Restrictions on shipments
of cattle have been removed, the loss
from tick fever has been eliminated,
more cattle are being raised, and a
ing introduced. Calves grow faster,
cattle put on flesh more rapidly dur
ing the grazing season and go into the
winter In better condition because OF
the absence of the tick. Dairy cows
give q greater yield of milk, and the
values of farm land are enhanced. In
appearance the cattle show a marked
contrast since the tick has been Grad
icated. Pure-bred cattle have been
brought In from other sections to i'm
prove the native breed without any
loss from fever. The Southern AMI
mails can enter the show ring Of the
North without restrictions.
