Pigs Suffer When Mother Is Over
feed

Many farmers are guilty of over
feeding their brood sows at farrow-
ing time with the result that the
flow OF milk is so great that the
to animal husbandry specialists. To
overcome this condition feeders at
the Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station withhold feed from
the SOW on the day she farrows Civ
ing her nothing but water. For the
next two or three days she is given
a light feed of shipsstuff or mid
dlings in the form of thin slop.
On the fifth day after narrowing
corn meal is introduced into the
ration which then consists Of about
one pound of corn meal, four
pounds of shipstuff and one-tenth of
a pound of tankage. These feeds
are then gradually increased until
at the end of 10 days the ration
consists of three pounds of ship
stuff, three pounds of corn meal
and one-half of pound of tankage.
At the end of 80 days the feed is
composed OF seven pounds of corn
meal, five pounds of shipstuff or
middlings and one pound of tank
age. This is considered a full feed
and is obtained by gradually in
creasing the feed from the tenth
day. According to the feeders, the
amount OF feed given the sow
should depend on her size, the
number of pigs she is sucking and
her ability to give milk.
When on full feed the sows
should be receiving an average Of
about four per cent of their live
weight in grain each day. This is
fed in the form Of a thin slop. II
skim-milk is to be had il is well to
add a limited amount of this to the
ration. Some sows have demon
strated that they are capable OF CIV
ing but little milk and begin TO fat
ten as soon as the feed is increased.
In cases of this kind IT is necessary
to reduce the feed. In a few in
stances on the station farm a 800
pound SOW having eight thrifty pigs
has been given as much as 20
pounds Of grain each day. Part Of
this feed however was consumed by
the pigs since the troughs are so
constructed that the young animals
can eat with their mothers when
old enough.

ter. Kentucky farmers have never
used this method of control to the
best advantage, the entomolosists
say.
Some of these insects, such as the
wire worms, work only on the roots
where sprays will not reach them.
Others live within the stems of the
plants where they are equally ex-
empt from either poisons or con-
tact insecticides while still others,
like the cut worms and chinch bugs,
work among the weeds and grasses
where they escape the observation
of the farmer. Flea beetles live
over the winter on night shades.
Smart weed, rag weed, purclane,
foxtail and others harbor the corn
root aphis. Plants bugs hibernate in
all kinds of weeds and grasses. Old
squash vines contain pupae Of the
squash borer and cabbage stocks
furnish a hiding place for the cab
bage louise and carry the eggs of
this insect through the winter. Be-
cause of these facts it is important
to destroy all crop remnants, burn
fence rows and pick up loose ma
terials that will furnish hiding
places for the insects.
Where it is necessary to pillow in
order to destroy the insects this
should be done deeply in order to
bury many of the insects so that
they are unable to get out in the
spring and expose others to winter
weather and natural enemies. In
sects of this kind, like the tobacco
worm, lying in their earthern cases
go through the winter safe against
frost much the same as the buried
potato does because the change from
freezing to thawing comes gradual
ly. For this reason throwing them
to the surface by blowing destroys
many Of them since they are sub
iected to sudden changes.

poses must be mated to purebred in
dividuals to make it's owner eligible
for membership in the movement.
Any person who desires membership
and is eligible should make applica-
ton through his county agent or
the college at Lexington, Mr..
Rhoads said.
Many farmers have taken advan-
tage of recent sales to obtain pure
bred animals with which to replace
their scrub sires. More than 1876
rurebred bulls were distributed to
different farms of the State as a re-
suit Of sale held in the first part
of June while, similar sale during
August resulted in 200 purebred
rams being sold to sheep raisers of
the State.

Covered Smut Controlled BY Sprink
ling Treatment

Although sinking or covered smu
OF wheat is not as prevalent in Ken
lucky as loose smut il is a serious
disease and is responsible for an
annual loss of approximately two
per cent of the crop, according &c
w. d. Valleau, plant pathologist al
the Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station. The spores of the di-
sease are scattered at thrashing
time and lodge on the surface OF
the kernel thus injecting the seed
of the next crop. Demonstrations
Lave shown that the disease may be
controlled by sprinkling the seed
before planting with a solution OF
formaldehyde.
In this method of treatment the
solution is made by diluting one
part of commercial formaldehyde
with 800 of water this ratio being
equivalent to one pint in 40 gallons
or water. Not more than one gal
Ion of the solution will be required
for a bushel of grain and some far
mers use only half gallon. APP
plication is made with an ordinary
sprinkling can while the seed is be-
ing shoveled over from one pile to
another. The grain must be so
well stirred that every kernel is
wet. 1t is then covered with sacks
or other cloth wet with the form
aldehyde solution and allowed to
stand for period of about two
hours before being spread out to
dry. A longer period is apt to re-
suit in injury to the seed. 1t is
best TO trea6 the seed just before
sowing, according to the recon-
mendations made. This treatment
is the same as the bluestone or cop
per sulphate treatment which is us
cd in some parts of the State.

Letting Folks Know

1t is no uncommon sight, especial
ly in the middle west in riding
through the country to see roadside
stands in front of farm houses on
which various farm products such
as fruit, pumpkins, melons and to-
matoes are displayed. 1t seems
strange, remarked one man not
long ago, that SO few of the farm
ers take the pains to tell about their
wants in an ad in the local paper.

Fall Flowing Will Kill Insect Pes

Fall Flowing viii Kill Insect Pests
Many injurious insect pests that
hibernate in the soil or rubbish
about the farm or garden and escape
death from insecticides because Of
their large numbers of particular
methods of attacking plants may be
controlled most easily by deep fall

tions made by entomologists at the

Station TO farmers of the State.
Wire worms, cut worms, white

tobacco worms, army worms, plant
bugs, grasshoppers, corn web-worms
corn ear-worms, clover leaf beetles,
and a large number of small leaf
horpers are the particular ones
which suffer from being exposed to
the weather by blowing. According
to the entomologists a study OF
these insects has shown that until
some specific remedy Is discovered
for each one Of these farmers will
have to depend in large degree on
blowing. clean culture. crop rota-

Poor Housing OF Machinery Costs

open air housing" of machinery
costs Kentucky farmers apprsxi-
mately s3,0S0,366 a year, accord
ing to estimates made by J. B. Kel-
ley, head of the farm engineering
section of the College of Agricul-
ture. This amount which was es-
timated from census reports and ex-
periments conducted to determine
the respective lifetime of properly
and improperly housed farming i'm
plements is a fair representation Of
the annual loss suffered by farmers
of the State by leaving machinery
in the fields and under trees.
According to the 1920 census
there is more than S4S,354,S57
worth of machinery on Kentucky
farms, the average life of each piece
of which is Is to 20 years under
proper housing conditions. When
left exposed to the weather farm
tools last only one-half as long, &C.
cording to the results of expert
ments which show that a properly
housed farm tool lasts Is years
while an improperly housed one
lasts but little more than seven
and one-half years. On this basis
failure TO house their machinery
causes farmers of the State loss
OF s6,304,023 a year whereas the
depreciation on machinery which is
protected from the weather while
Idle is only s3,22S,657.
Despite the heavy losses caused
by leaving machinery exposed to
weather conditions many farmers
still fail to give it the proper pro-
lection after the seasons work has
beer finished Mr.. Kelley said. Many
farm implements are left in the
fence corners, under trees or in
fields where they were last used
with the result that rust and the
action of the different weather con-
ditions contribute toward heavy
damage.
To prevent this loss all machinery
should be stored in a suitable house
as soon as the seasons work is done,
care being taken in putting the i'm
plements and tools away that all
parts are thoroughly cleaned and
the bearings or any other parts that
are apt to rust creased. Many far
mers are finding it helpful to make
list Of the broken or missing parts
while storing the machinery so that
these can be ordered during slack
seasons. Plans for implements sheds
are being sent out to farmers who
wish them from thee Experiment
