FAILURE OF SWINE TO MATE
It May Be Caused by improper Func-
tionng Of System Brought About
by Improper Feed.

Prepared by the United States Depart
Ment of Agriculture
Failure IN the ability or desire Of
swine TO reproduce may be caused by
any Of several conditions. say special
sts of the United States Department
IF Agriculture. 1t may result from a
disease or injury that seriously af-
fects or destroys the secretory repro
ductive organs. 1t may be caused by
improper functioning of the system,
which in turn is often brought about
by unsuitable feed OF faulty elimina-
ton of waste products, or it may be
lue to general lowering of body vi
.aiity.
There are also cases of sterility or
impotence for which definite causes
are difficult to find. Failure to breed
quite frequently occurs in bOars and
sows which have been fitted and kept
in high condition for show purposes.
In some instances the sow fails to
come in heat, or perhaps indicates
that she is in heat and is successfully
served by the boar without resulting
conception. In other cases the boar
shows no desire to mate, or acts In
effectively.
The first step in overcoming the
trouble is to find positive cause,
when possible, by making thorough
examination. This should include q
search for physical defects, the pres
ence of disease, the results Of injuries,
or lowered vitality from any cause.
When, from such examination, 1t
appears that proper treatment will
prove successful, remedies should be
administered promptly. But if the
cause is obscure, or if there is little
likelihood of correcting the defect sue.
cessfully, it is best to remove the AMI.
NAL from the breeding herd. Bears
may be castrated and fitted for
slaughter as market hogs. Similarly.
sows should be discarded when they
become uncertain breeders.
When there is no apparent cause
for failure of swine to mate, experts
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture frequently have observed
lazy or sluggish temperament.
These hogs generally are of the type
known as "hot-bloods." They are fat
and show an unwillingness to exer-
else. The tendency is more common
in mature hogs and increases with
age, but is frequently found in young
stock. Careless and unwise inbreed-
ing practices tend to produce hogs Of
this type. but inbreeding does not nee
essarily bring about the condition.

seen in only an occasional animal it

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture.)
With the development Of the slO
many dairy COW owners have over
looked the value Of roots as succu-
lent feed for cattle. Mangel-wurzel,
teets. carrots, and turnips are the prin.
cipal roots grown for this purpose.
They are particularly adapted to the
cooler and more moist portions of the
country. The principal drawback to
their use is the labor of growing, har-
vesting and storing them. On the
other hand. say specialists Of the Uni.
ted States Department of Agriculture.
eoot crops have q distinct advantage
for small diaries, as it is generally ac-
cepted that silo will not prove eco
nomical where less than six animals
are being fed. Roots may be stored
in proper cellar. or buried in the
ground. and can be taken out in any
desired quantity without injury to the
remainder.
A surprising amount of roots can
be produced on a small acreage. A
yield OF rs tons per acre of mangel.
wurzels is nothing unusual, while in
England, where roots are used almost
entirely to supply succulent food. the
yield per acre is increased still further
by Intensive farming.
Other kinds Of beets, and also tur-
nips and carrots. may be used. Tur.
nfps, however, should be fed after
milking rather than before, as they
give a bad flavor to the product. Vel
low carrots impart a desirable color
to the milk. For feeding purposes the
mangels will probably be found the
most practical beet. Among carrots,
the Long Orange is recommended be-
cause Of its large size and heavy yield.
It forms long, thick root, and is very
easily grown. The White vosges or
Belgian is grown exclusively for stock,
and Is an even heavier yielder. The
rutahaga is recommended as a good
turnip. The same soils and methods
of cultivating are adapted to all three
kinds of roots.
The soil should be we'll enriched, and
should be one that warns up quickly
In the spring. Most growers regard
sandy loan as best adapted to the cul-
ture Of root crops. this being partic-
ularly true Of the early spring crop.

VALUE OF UNDRAWN POULTRY
Experiments Conducted by Department
Of Agriculture Show Birds Spoil
Less Quickly.

Poultrymen still discuss the rela-
tive merits Of drawn and undrawn
poultry. Practice varies in different
communities. Opening the body un-
doubtedly exposes the internal surface
to the air which always contains MI
cro-organisms, and thus may hasten
decomposition: but 1t should be re.
membered also that the viscera decom.
pose more rapidly than other parts Of
the body. and II left they may faint
or infect the rest Of the bird.
In elaborate experiments with
drawn. partly drawn. and undrawn
poultry. conducted by the United
States Department Of Agriculture. It
was found that undrawn birds spoil
least quickly, and partly drawn ones
less quickly than the fully drawn ones
from which. not only the viscera, but
also the heads and feet, have been re-
moved.

For later crops heavy soils can he EN-.
ployed, and muck soils are widely used
for the midsummer and fall crops.
Land that is in good physical condi.
ton as the result Of early and proper
handling, we'll supplied with available
plant food and rich in organic matter,
is essential to best results. Appli-
cations of stable manure at the rate
of 20 to 30 tons per acre are advis-
able. and this may probably be sup.
plemented ~ the use of commercial
fertilizer containing at least per
cent nitrogen. s per cent phosphoric
acid. and 4 per cent potash.
The seed is sown in rows at least
30 inches apart If horse cultivation is
practiced. but under hand cultivation
they need not be more than Is to 10
inches. Ordinarily about POUNDS
OF beet seed per acre is required. Seed
is ordinarily covered to a depth of
Y to inch. AS beet seed is rather
slow in termination, the practice OF
sowing some Quick-sprouting seed
along with it Is sometimes followed.
These plants serve as markers for the
rows before the beets are up, so that
cultivation may be begun before the
beets show above the ground. Radishes
are frequently used for this purpose
Beet seeds come in clusters, and it
Is inevitable that thinning by hand
will be required.
Roots intended for winter storage
are allowed to stand in the field until
just before heavy autumn frosts &C.
cur. when they are pulled and stored
In pits or cellars, requiring much the
same treatment as potatoes and SIM
liar root crops.
From 20 to IS pounds Of sliced or
pulped roots. with proper grain ra-
ton and dry foliage, is a days ration
for an ordinary dairy COW. Thus II
will be seen that 23t tons will carry
cow through the usual five-months
winter feeding period. An acre or two
Of beets, carrots. and turnips should be
enough to supply any herd which Is
not large enough to make silo profit
able. With the development Of the
sugar-beet industry many implement.
and methods Of culture have been de
vised which reduce the labor required
to grow root crops.

may he possible to recognize the fault
in blood lines or type. But when fall
ure to mate occurs frequently and
when the type is right, the indications
are that the system of management rs
fundamentally wrong.
Upon the appearance of this condi-
ton an effort should be made to COR
rect it by restriction or modification
of the diet and an abundance of exer-
else. The ration must have the fat
producing feeds largely reduced and
protein feeds plentifully supplied
Pastures should be provided where pos
sible, but when these are not avail
able then the ration should consist OF
alfalfa meal. alfalfa, soybean or clover
hay to supply protein and vtamines,
high grade tankage fish meal, linseed
meal, or Il good grade of white mid
ulings and whole Oats-with but small
amounts Of corn or ground barley, to-
gether with good mineral mixture.
In addition an abundance of daily ex-
ercise must be given. This will prob
ably have to be forced by driving the
pastures daily until the animal Is
ired.
BY maintaining the digestive func-
tons in proper manner. by causing
abundant exercise and by supplying
proper nourishment, there will be
brought about proper elimination of
the body wastes and a rebuilding of
the tissues. This should cause the
reproductive organs to function prop
erly and bring about, toning up of
the system in such manner that breed
ing operations will be successfully con-
Quoted.
Swine breeders must be alert to the
necessity for ruggedness In herd bears
in addition to other qualifications.
Breeders must refrain also from too
great a degree Of fineness and smooth
! aess IN the selection of their breeding
animals, o. loss Of breeding power will
Ultimately develop In their herds.

conditions. In the North, on the
other hand, the seed can be grown sue

Is not In as great favor for forage
as common vetch, which is harder and
has become established in popularity.
To make bridge between the two
geographically distant localities has
been the work Of a number of years
ON the part Of the department experts.
1t was first necessary to demonstrate
the value of purple vetch in the
South, and afterwards to induce north
ern farmers to substitute It to some
extent for their customary crops. This
latter was difficult, because purple
vetch was not quoted In the market.
and also because, where sale was ef-
fected. farmers were tempted to sell
their entire stock. reserving no seed
to maintain or extend the acreage.
The assistance of a large California
fruit growers association was enlisted,
and last year 500 acres were grown
under guarantee, large portion of
the yield being kept for seed. This
