method of farming. Swine multiply
more rapidly than other farm animals
and make greater gains per hundred
pounds of concentrated feed con-
sumed.
AS a consumer of by-products the
hog has no rival.
Hogs might be kept probably upon
number of farms where they are not
found today. AS a general PROPOSE
ton, it is safer for the average farm
er to handle a small number of hogs
in connection with his other farm bust
ness.
AS much feed as possible for hogs
should be raised on the farm no more
feed than is absolutely necessary
should be purchased.
Hogs weighing from 200 to 300
pounds are in greatest demand on the
market, and usually the greatest prof
it is obtained from selling hogs at
these weights. The price realized de-
ponds upon the kind of carcass the
hog will yield.

RUSSIAN THISTLE OF VALUE
Once Considered Noxious Weed-Now
Used for Wintering Stock in
New Mexico.

prepared by the United States Depart

The Russian thistle, considered one
of the most noxious weeds in New
Mexico, is now declared by many
stockmen in that section to be of value
as stock feed. Some farmers in
Santa Fe county already have put up
large stacks Of from five to fifty tons
to be used for wintering stock this sea-
son. Its value as a feed was discov-
cred during the last two years Of
drought when it was the only thing
which stood between the live stock of
the region and starvation. The coun-
ty agricultural agent of Santa Fe
county is urging the building of silos
to be filled with Russian thistles,

BLEACHED OATS
ARE POOR SEED
Sulphur Process Brightens
Grains, but It Reduces Ger
minating Qualities.
PAY ATTENTION TO QUALITY
Same Amount of Time, Labor and
Money Required to Sow Field,
Whether INABILITY High or Low
Buy Under Contract.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In the purchase and selection of
oats for seed farmers are warned to
be careful of grain that has been
bleached by the sulphur process. This
process is now used extensively by
commercial grain dealers to give oats
of inferior quality a bright, clean ap-
pearance. In experiments conducted
by the specialists of the United
States department of agriculture, it
was found that in nearly every sam
pie of sulphur bleached oats there
was a great reduction in the germinat-
ing power. The largest reduction was
in q sample which terminated 97.5
Ter cent before treating and 9.5 per
cent after treating, or a total reduc-
ton in termination of IS per cent
caused by sulphuring.
Too much attention cannot be paid
to the quality of seed for the same
amount of time, labor and money is
required to SOW a field of oats, wheth-
er the viability of the seed be high or
low, and the product will be influ-
enced directly by the percentage of
termination of the seed. A casual
observer is probably more likely to
be misled as to the true quality of oats
than of any other grain for seeding
purposes, because oats that have been
sulphured present an attractive ap-
pearance; therefore special care must
be taken to ascertain whether this
appearance is due to bleaching by sui
phur or whether it is natural.
Feed Oats Not Good for Seed.
1t is not an uncommon practice
throughout the smaller oat-growing
areas for farmers to use for seed,
oats that have been purchased for
feeding purposes, especially when
these oats appear to be of good quail
ity. Frequently very poor yields are
obtained from feed oats, because these
oats may have been sulphur bleached.
Seedmen generally buy their oats
under contracts, stipulating that such
oats shall terminate not less than a
specific percentage, and further that
they shall not be sulphur bleached.
This provision, of course, safeguards
the farmer when he buys oats from a
scotsman who states that such oats
are suitable for seed. However, as
there is no general regulation govern
ing oats handling in interstate trans
actions which requires that sulphured
oats are to be labeled as such, the
farmer generally is without protec.
ton and often sows oats that have
been sulphured.
Process Of Bleaching.
! Two processes are in use in bleach.
ing oats; known as the cold process
and the warm process, the only diff
ference being that in one case steam
is used to moisten the grain and in
/ the other cold water is used. AS the
moistened oats fall from the top of a
/ tower they pass through sulphur
fumes which come in contact with
every kernel. After the oats have
passed through the bleaching tower
they are usually run in a bin and al
lowed to stand over night when they
are cooled or dried as necessity may
require.
