Flushing of Ewes Means
More Twins for Breeder

When the sheep breeder speaks OF
flushing" the ewes, he refers to feed
ing them extra well for two weeks be-
fore the breeding season is to begin.
This good feeding is kept up until all
the ewes are bred. For years sheep
men have been divided on this ques-
ton, some claiming that flushing in
creases the number of twins dropped,
while others claim that flushing has
no other effect than to rid the owner
of little surplus feed.
But six weeks Of experimental work
by the United States Department of
Agriculture have removed this ques-
ton from the think" class, for the re-
suits actually show that flushing does
mean more twins dropped. Every 100
flushed ewes produced 148 lambs
while each 100 ewes that "roughed It
as usual" produced only 12S lambs. In
other words, with every 100 ewes, the
owner had 20 additional lambs to
show for the extra feed given the
ewes.
The best results were secured when
the ewes gained about seven pounds
each during the flushing period. Fresh
grass pastures, soy beans and cowpeas
were found to be excellent flushers.

Pigs Digestive Organs
and Ability to Expand

Careful observations made on the
pigs used in the 1922 TYPE Test" at
the Illinois experiment station, indi-
cate that there Is no correlation be-
tween the size Of a pigs digestive or
gans and his ability to grow. Prof. R.
J. Liable Of the Illinois animal hus-
bandry department, who measured the
capacity and length of the stomach,
large and small intestines, Of Is pigs
from each Of the three types In the ex-
pertinent station, found a wide varia-
ton In the size of these organs.
The stomachs of the pigs varied In
capacity from one pint to three quarts.
The small intestines ranged In capac-
ity from six to fourteen quarts, and the
large intestines from four to twelve
quarts. The total capacity Of the d.
gestive systems varied from ten to
twenty-six quarts.
In length, the small intestines ranged
from 51.5 to 90 feet, while the large
intestines were from 1875 to 1875 feet
long.
After comparing these measure
ments with the records Of feed con-
sumption and gains made by the indi
vidual pigs, Professor Liable found
that there was no difference In the
intestinal capacities Of the pigs of the
different types, and that pigs with
larger stomachs did not consume more
feed than the others, nor did they grow
more economically.

] I'VE
STOCK
Accounting Records and
Business System Needed

prepared by tho United States Department,
of Agriculture,
The need for simple yet complete &C
counting records by live stock shipping
associations is emphasized In a new
bulletin published by the United States
Department Of Agriculture entitled
Accounting Records and Business
Methods for Live Stock Shipping AS
sociations." The bulletin recommends
use of system outlined that is based
on the methods used by shipping as
sociations in various parts of the coun-
try and which experience has demon
strateG as sound and practical. and
capable of being adapted to a wide
range Of conditions and methods of
operation.
The system Is specifically designed
to meet the needs of associations that
make the shipping of live stock their
main or only business, including asso-
Citations which in addition to shipping
live stock occasionally buy feed and
other farm supplies unloaded directly
from cars and paid for on delivery
The method can also be adapted for
use by farmers elevators or produce
and supply associations which have
warehouse and carry a stock Of sup
plies and which also ship live stock, 1t
is pointed out.
The rapid growth in live stock ship
ping associations during the last five
years has developed many problems
that have resulted In wide differences
in cost of shipping as between the
most efficient and the least efficient as
sociations, the bulletin says. Adoption
of the accounting system proposed is
designed to solve these problems.
Copies of Department Bulletin No.
1150 may be obtained free upon re-
quest to the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. c., as
long as the supply lasts. The bulletin
was prepared in collaboration with the
Iowa State College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts, and is also published
as Accounting Records for Live Stock
Shipping Associations" by Frank Ro-
botka, Iowa Agriculture Experiment
Station Bulletin No. 200.
