From the fireside and the feast:

There are voices that have ceased
But we know they pass forever
From our mortal grief sand pain.
And we thank thee. oh, our Father,
For the blessings that remain.
Thanksgiving, oh, Thanksgiving,
That their love once blessed us here,
That go long they walked beside lis.
Sharing every smile and tear;
For the joy the past has brought US

And the earth again he green;
For the hope of that glad meeting,
Far from mortal grief and pain:

Minerals Fed to Steers
Found to Be Beneficial

Minerals for steers were tried at
the Iowa station during the past win
ter. A mixture of 80 pounds ground
limestone, 80 pounds spent bone-black
and one-third ounce of potassium 10
dide was fed to the steers at the rate
of one ounce per head per day. The
steers in this experiment got shelled
corn, corn silage, clover hay and oil
meal, with salt available at all times.
The cattle which had minerals gained
slightly better, had better appetite
and were a little better finished at
the end Of the feeding period than
other cattle which had the same ration
minus the minerals.
Mineral feeding TO steers is still In
the experimental stage, but the results
at the Iowa station indicate that It
may be worth while. Where good
clover or alfalfa hay is fed, we should
expect that minerals have less effect
than In a ration in which the hay has
less mineral matter than clover or
alfalfa Those who can easily secure
the minerals can we'll afford TO try the
Iowa mixture with their next load of
steers

Profitable Practice to
Feed FOals Fresh Grain

Foals should not be allowed TO fol-
low mares that are working on the
farm. but should run together In q
roomy. clean. well ventilated box stall
or paddock. If small pasture, sur
rounded by a good fence and contain
ing shade is available. IL makes a
good place for foals. II fresh water
is not available constantly. it should
be supplied often.
The foas should be nursed morn
ing, noon and night and allowed to
run with their dams during the night.
In this way they go through the sum-
mer In coed condition and can be
weaned without any setback.
Foals will learn TO eat readily and
1t is profitable to let them have &C
cess to clean. fresh grain. Two parts
crushed corn. two parts crushed oats
and one part bran is a satisfactory
mixture. If crushed grain is not avail
able. shelled corn and shelled oats
may be used.

LIVE
STOCK
BROOD SOWS DEMAND
SPECIAL ATTENTION

Those who are expecting fall litters
should pay special attention to the
feeding Of their brood sows. A SOW
that Is not properly fed during the
period Of pregnancy cannot be expect
cd to do her best at narrowing time.
The tendency is to rely too much
upon corn as an exclusive feed for the
sows. There are No harmful proper
ties In corn; 1t is a good feed so far
as its fattening qualities 90. but 1t
is not suitable for muscle and bone
building. 1t is not necessary to ex-
clude corn from the brood sow's ra-
tions-not at all but 1t Is necessary
to feed with 1t something that is COM
paratlvely rich in protein, such as
tankage, oil meal or shorts, the former
being preferable In most cases be-
cause cheaper-not cheaper per ton
but cheaper per pound of protein
content
A hog needs a certain amount Of
animal protein, and since 1t can nearly
always be purchased cheaper in tank
age than In any other form, why not
use this product to a greater extent?
A brood SOW that is fed one pound Of
tankage with each peck of corn, while
on pasture, will produce healthy, Wig
orous pigs.
A year ago last spring narrowing
records were kept on 80 Kansas farms
by the experiment station of that
state. From these records 1t was
found that 263 sows that were fed
corn properly balanced with tankage,
skim milk, oil meal or alfalfa, far
rowed 1850 pigs. or an average of
10.1 pigs per litter. These sows also
had good surroundings and were well |
cared for. OF these pigs ca per cent |
were raised to weaving time. In other |
words 6.5 pigs per litter were thrifty
when old enough to wean.
Another lot of 166 sows, on II |
farms. narrowed an average of ~ pigs
per sow and raised 3.S pigs per litter.
These sows had received practically
nothing but corn. The unbalanced ra-
ton decreased the size of the weaned
filters by 40 per cent. Such results
are not uncommon; on the contrary,
they invariably follow the feeding Of
corn alone to pregnant sows. A SOW
can no more produce muscle and bone
out of corn, which is deficient in the
out of which they must
be produced. than can a mason make
mortar out Of sand and water. One
Is as impossible as the other.
Feed a balanced ration to the brood
sows now while they are carrying
heir filters and you will have lot
