Feeding Pigs Skim Milk
Makes Them Gain Faster

The animal husbandry department
of the New Jersey agricultural ex-
pertinent station recently conducted
feeding trial with skim milk for mar
ket pigs. Two lots of ten pigs each
were used. The pigs were Of sim
liar age, weight and breeding at the
outset. Lot No. received shelled
corn, wheat middlings. and digested
tankage. Lot No. 2 received the same
feeds, plus 80 pounds Of skim milk
per day. A self-feeder supplied the
grain rations for both lots. The in
crease in gains made by the skim
milk lot over the cost Of the grain
justified the feeding Of Eve pounds Of
skim milk per pig at cost Of
SO cents per hundred pounds for
the milk. Furthermore, the pigs grew
much faster and were ready for
the market at a much earlier date.
The skim milk should be pastuer-
lied, II from tubercular cows as pigs
at this age are highly susceptible to
the disease. There is practically no
difference between feeding the milk
sweet or sour, SO long as one method
Is adhered to regularly.

Peculiar Points to Look
for in Selection of Ram

II good lambs are to be had they
must have the proper breeding and
this cannot be gotten with ram
picked up anywhere at small cost.
According to T. @. Stone, sheep ex-
pert with the Iowa State college, many
farmers who are starting In the sheep
business are picking up rams just be-
cause they are to be had at smaller
cost, with ancestry unknown, than
those which have certified pedigree,
but cost little more.
In selecting ram here are some OF
the points to look for: See that he
has the masculine stamp. This is in
dicated by a short broad face, large
broad nostrils, short thick neck and
general ruggedness.
See that he has a good constitution
and an ample chest capacity. This Is
Indicated by the spring and depth of
rib, good fore rib, and short strong
back. A good condition Of fleece and
skin is essential and can be observed
by feeling Of the fleece. 1t should be
dense and of good length. The skin
is pink when the animal Is in good
health. Fleece that is dry indicates
unusual conditions.
The ram should be close to the
ground and have a quiet disposition.
Much care should be taken in picking
a ram and the results will show very
soon. II is as essential to pick good
ram as 1t is to have good sire for the
cattle.

Grade or Scrub Bulls
Used in This Country
Low Average Milk. Produc-
ton Per Cow Is Result.

prepared By the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Seventy-dve per cent Of the dairy
bulls In use In the United States are
either grades or scrubs. They are
bulls from ancestry that has not been
bred generation after generation for
large and economical production Of
milk and butterfat. This fact, says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, accounts for the low average pro-
duction per COW in this country.
In 1921. there were less than $4,000
purebred bull calves registered by the
breed associations. But this probably
does not represent half the purebred
bulls born in 1921. The $4,000 or more
that were not registered, were probably
slaughtered because their breeders
were not able to market them profit
ably. This is because the average
farmer is not yet convinced Of the ad-
vantages to be derived from the use of
purebred sires. If every purebred bull
calf born in this country were raised, 1t
would take a three or four years crop
of calves to replace the grade and
scrub bulls (numbering approximately
60,0O0) that are being used in dairy
herds. When 1t is considered that not
all purebred calves are worthy of be-
ing used. even on grade herds, and
allowance is made for the normal
death rate and other factors that enter
to cut down the number Of purebred
bulls raised, the above estimate OF
three or four years could safely be In
creased to five or six years as the time
that would be required to replace the
scrub bulls.
Only 3 per cent of our dairy cattle
are purebred, and the supply Of pure
bred bulls would be wholly inadequate
If the farmers Of the country could
only appreciate the benefit 1t would
be to them to head their producing
herds with purebred sires Of good pro-
ducing strains.

Prominent Duck Growers
Give Fattening Rations

In reply to an inquiry sent out by
the bureau of animal industry Omitted
States Department Of Agriculture) to
prominent duck growers throughout
the country, the following replies
among others we're received by the
authorities:
"The last ten days before marketing
we feed about three-fifths cornmeal
with one-Hfth -four and one-fifth bran,
with beet scrap and grit"
"For market, keep them from SWIM
ming. Give one part green feed to two
parts grain mixture. Two to three
weeks before marketing shorten up the
green feed and add more corn. With
too much green feed the flesh does not
stand up 80 well as with more grain.
Two-thirds cornmeal and one-third
bran and middlings given with II per
cent Of beef scrap makes good fat
tening ration"
ITO condition ducks for market,
small dark enclosure with fresh drink
ing water and cornmeal mash hot In
the morning and whole-shelled corn the
rest of the day. Give oil they will
eat"
"our market ducks are kept confined
and fed four times daily, by measure,
two parts Of bran, one part Of corn
meal, one part Of oil meal and beef
scrap and one part Of shorts. Cooked
vegetables are added from time to
time. This ration is dampened with
water until 1t will crumble. Green
feed, grit and water are always before
them"

Use Of Acid Phosphate
Does Not Injure Soil

Not infrequently the fear is ex-
pressed that the continued use Of acid
phosphate on land will Increase the
sourness Of the soil. Experimental
evidence, however, shows that this
fear is unfounded. In fact, there is
evidence to show that 1t has slight
tendency to reduce the acidity. A
number of experiments have been
conducted In which heavy applications
Of acid phosphate were made on GER
tain plots for long period Of years.
The results show that these plots are
not as sour as plots receiving no treat
ment.
The term "acid phosphate" IL pri-
marily a trade name; derived from
the fact that 1t is made by treating
raw phosphate with sulphuric acid.
This name has been largely respon-
sible for the erroneous opinion. There
Il nothing in the material which will
lnjure the soil. Its use may confidently
be expected to produce entirely bene-
fcial results.

Milk Is Valuable Feed
to Keep Chicks Healthy

MIX is a valuable feed for young
.hicks, as It not only stimulates the
many forces required for normal
growth but aids in the prevention Of
diseases. Sour milk or buttermilk In
many cases actually proves remedy
for coccidiosis, the most dreaded of
all chick diseases.
AS long as the chicks can be kept
growing rapidly they are less suscep-
tible to disease Of any kind, but es-
pecially to coccidiosis and It is largely
Oh account Of its aid In warding on
this disease that many poultry raisers
have come to consider milk as being
essential for chicks during the frst

Spacing Influence
on Crop Of Corn
Experiments Of Particular
Interest in Sections Where
Two Types Are Grown.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Experiments to determine the in
fiuence of space between hills of corn
on the yield per plant and per acre
have been conducted for several years
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture, and the results published
In Department Bulletin 1857, now
ready for distribution. The results
are Of particular interest to those por-
tions Of the United States where both
the single-ear and prolific types of corn
are more or less commonly grown.
Two Varieties Described.
The single-ear type is described as
having resulted from continuous selec-
tion toward one large ear per stalk, al
though under favorable conditions two
well-developed ears may be produced.
AS contrasted with the single-ear type,
the prolific Is distinguished by the
normal production Of more than one
ear per stalk. The ears usually are
smaller.
AS both types are grown extensively, 1t
Is Of agronomic interest to know which
yields more efficiently under ordinary
field conditions where the production
of the plants Is likely to be infiu-
enced by irregularity Of stand and by
the inequalities Of termination, soil.
and growing conditions. The purpose
Of the present investigation was to
study the reaction Of these types un-
der conditions that provided a wide
range in the environment, obtained in
this case by altering the spacing Of the
plants.
Prolific More Productive.
In these experiments the prolific type
was more productive than the single
ear type. 1t also was more efficient
in increasing the yield per plant and
in increasing the number Of ears per
plant. While the single-ear type was
more efficient In increasing the weight
ct the ear, the prolific type produced a
larger yield per acre because increas-
Ing the number of ears was more effec-
tive than increasing the weight Of the
individual ears.
The experiments indicate that in
sections to which both types are adapt
ed in general the prolific will be the
more productive under conditions of
general field culture because of its bet
ter adjustment to varying conditions.
