SCHEME ASSURES GROWERS
HOGS FOR HOME SLAUGHTER

Members Of the livestock shipping

found themselves with hogs ready
for market or slaughter before the
farmers were prepared for the work.
Under these conditions they arrange
with the manager Of the association
10 ship their hogs 10 market al the
time the animals are ready. and
later, when the farmers are prepar-
Ing 10 butcher. they buy the desired
number OF hogs from the association

hogs are sold 20 them for the net

SPRING AT

FLOWER GARDENS
Now Is the Time to Plan What
Flowers You VIII Plant
for the Summer.

Perhaps no phase of outdoor life

gardening. In fact, so universal is
their appeal that Say il with Flow

With spring nearly here home

MOLDY CORN SHOULD

SOWS AT ANY TIME
Large Losses Have Resulted
From Sows Getting MOldy
Corn in Fields.

No. THREE Col bank
Due 20 the heavy losses OF pigs
occurring this spring special atten-
tion should be given 20 sows which
have not farrowed. Some OF the
largest losses are occurring in herds
that have been fed corn alone, says
o. NJ Vestal Of the animal hus-
bandry staff Of Purdue University.
In many instances where losses are
great the sows have been allowed
20 run In corn fields where large
amounts Of moldy or damaged corn
were left at husking time.
More damaged corn has been fed
20 brood sows during the past win
ter than usual owing TO the large
amount Of the 1921 corn which was
damaged by mods and worms. II
moldy corn is being fed il is GER
tainly the safest plan 10 discontinue
its use Moldy or spoiled feeds Of
any Kind should not be fed 90 preg-
nant or nursing animals.
Corn Alone Not Good
Corn fed alone is not protection
for the prospective pig crop. The
cheapest and safest insurance is
some tankage, skimmilk or other
rich protein feed added TO the corn
ration. The need for the protein
feed Is especially great during the
last month or six weeks of theg-
nancy period. II tankage IS used
each sow should receive rrom one
third 10 one-half pound daily. If
skimmilk or buttermil5 is used one
10 one and one-half gallons TO each
sow daily Will give good results.
Another important consideration
in preventing pig losses is proper
bowel condition of the sows at far
rowing time IL is a good plan to
give some laxative feed. beginning
at least ten days or two weeks be-
fore narrowing. Linseed oilmeal Is
helpful in keeping the bowels In
good condition. A small handful
added TO each feed is usually suf-
ficient to give desired results.
Reduce Ration Slightly.
1t is well to reduce the ration
slightly during the week preceding
farrowing. Feed lightly for a day
or two after narrowing and then
gradually increase the feed accord
Ing 20 the demands of the litter No
set rule can be given for increasing
the ration of the nursing SOW. II
the litter is large and the pigs
strong there is little danger in rap

Citizens throughout Indiana are

The farmers who are growing large

is caused by a fungus that grows
