Some may argue that all of this
wealth could not be saved. That is
probably true, but increased yields
than offset any depreciation which
should be charged off. Moreover, the
greater part of this wealth could
have been saved if the methods of
practice now used and demonstrated
to be scientifically correct and easy
Then again we have striking evil
dence of the need of universal train
| ing along agricultural and vocation
al lines. No matter what the cost
may be- 1t never can even approx
mate the tribute exacted from us
through the permission Of the con-
tinuance of the wonderful practices
which are now in vogue. Let
US stop some of these leaks and cap
italize this wealth and make it serve
worthwhile development program in
the interest of all the citizenry of
the state Of Georgia.
Notes on Winter Rations
Where a moist, chopped-up type Of
| roughage is fed with concentrates,
1t is best, as rule, to scatter the
grain over the roughage after it has
| been placed in the manger. 1t should
then be mixed with the mass of
| roughage by means of a fork. When
| this is not done, the animals may
| bolt the grain down without properly
masticating it, and. in that event, in
| digestion may follow. Moreover, it
is desirable that the animals fed be
| induced to consume the largest pos
| sible amount of roughage Not only
do Eliminating animals consume con-
| siderable quantities of material of
| this character, but a certain percent
| age of nutrients required can be sup
piled from this source in a cheaper
form than through the agency of
! concentrates. Hence, it is desirable
to have the animals eat as much
| roughage as possible.
| In the case of hogs, an entirely
different procedure is necessary. This
class of animals should be provided
with green feed as nearly as may be
possible throughout the year. They
amount of roughage. The feeds
grown for them to Craze on should,
therefore. be selected with the eX-
pectatiou of supplying a large
amount of grain. Where hogs are
maintained on grazing crops, they
grain per head per day. Hogs should
not be confined to small pens. They
should be supplied with plenty of
mineral matter. They may be given
legume hay containing grain to pick
over during the winter season to con-
1 siderable advantage. When they are
fed on concentrates, one may com
bine for the young hogs say 100
pounds of corn Or corn and cob meal
with 100 pounds Of shorts In the
absence of shorts, use ninety pounds
of corn and corn cob meal with ten
pounds of digester tankage. Velvet
bean meal may be used to some adj
vantage in feeding hogs, but it
should not be fed to young pigs. Pea
nut meal from which the hulls have
| been removed can be combined to
very good advantage with corn in
feeding hogs. I think two-thirds corn
or corn and cob meal and one-third
| peanut meal will be found the most
satisfactory ration. Cottonseed meal
can only be fed in very limited guam
| titles to hogs for moderate periods of
| time.
In view of the great peanut and
| velvet bean crops which we are like
ly to have in Georgia this year, do
not think any material advantage
| will be gained from feeding cotton
seed meal this winter. This concen-
trate can be fed to better advantage
and with greater profit to beef and
| dairy cattle. AS a rule, grain fed
to hogs should be stopped, and the
more milk that can be added to the
ration the better. The slop should be
given in troughs and these and the
| general surroundings should be kept
in the best sanitary conditions posi-
BILE. With such variety of feeds
available in Georgia for use this fall
and winter, there is no reason why
our live stock should not be kept in
excellent condition through the utili-
cation of homegrown rations.
Canning Fresh pork in Glass
writes: Will you please print in
the agricultural columns recipe
for canning fresh pork in glass
jars.
No doubt there are various meth
DDS by which meat can be canned.
One Of the best and most reliable
investigators and writers on this
of the United StateS department Of
agriculture. He has mode extensive
Investigations into the canning of
meat, and he recommends the fol-
lowing method of procedure for can
ming in glass, which I am sure you
will find reliable and easy to follow
1t is important to remember that
sanitation is very essential in the
processing Of meat.
Meats are ready for canning as
soon as the animal heat has disap-
peared. They must be handled in
as clearly a manner as possible. Inc
meats should be cooked first. eth
err fried, broiled, roasted. baked or
stewed, just as would be done for
immediate serving, to preserve not
only the meat but the home-cooked
flavor as we'll The meat is sea-
soned according to individual taste
cooked through, without needing to
be cooked tender before placing it
In the jars. The Jars should be
washed clean and put in cold water
