TOO GREAT OVERHEAD
CAUSES PIG FAILURE

Not all who try to raise pigs make
success Of it, In spite of the fact that
most persons think pigs will raise
themselves. One reason for failure
with hogs, the New York college of
agriculture at Ithaca points out, is too
great overhead expense. Sometimes.
for example, too elaborate and expen-
sive buildings are provided. The
buildings must be dry, free from draft,
light, and well ventilated, but only req
sonably warm. When a raiser goes
beyond meeting these requirements in
his hog quarters, he is piling up ex-
pense on which he cannot realize
profit.
Another thing which brings up the
costs, is buying all the feed required
and making no use of waste products.
Some farmers seem to think hogs
can be profitably raised without pas
ture. In some cases perhaps they can,
but the farmer who attempts pork pro-
duction without sufficient pasturage,
such as alfalfa, red and sweet clover,
dwarf-essex rape, or fall wheat, suffl-
Client to allow an acre for every twelve
to eighteen pigs, is setting himself a
handicap against the farmer who does
have adequate pasture
Unsanitary quarters likewise have
a part in throwing the balance to the
wrong side Of the ledger. Uncleanli-
ness is likely to cause lice, cholera,
worms, and rheumatism.
Failure to study market demands
and then feeding and breeding to meet
these demands, are also listed as rea-
sons for lack of success with swine.
Again, a "know 1t all' attitude has
caused many a farmer to refuse to
take advantage of information regard
Ing the requirements Of hogs.

Soy Bean Hay Good for
Breeding Eve in Winter

Soy bean hay is good for wintering
breeding ewes. But 1t is better yet
when efficiently combined with alfalfa
hay, says John M. Evvard, chief in
animal experiments at the Iowa ex-
pertinent station.
Where soy bean hay replaces alfalfa
hay entirely. 100 pounds of 1t saves
104 pounds of alfalfa hay and 10
pounds of corr grain total OF ia
pounds. The Introduction OF IA
pound of soy bean hay into the ra-
ton is found to save Sc pound OF
alfalfa hay and "a pound of grain
daily per eve. On this basis the feed
ing of 100 pounds of soy bean hay
saved 76 pounds of alfalfa hay and
46 pounds Of corn grain, total Of ~
pounds, in recent tests.
A good practice in Mr.. Evvards
opinion, If both alfalfa and soy bean
hay are available, Is to feed a combl-
nation of them along with corn silase'
some grain and some salt.

Keeping Feed Trough at
Proper Level by Chains

A nearby neighbor who feeds car
load Of steers each year has had trou-
BILE in keeping the feed troughs at the
proper level. writes Earl Rogers In
Power Farming. For inside feeding he
has devised series of chains made of
links about six inches long and sus-
ponds the feed troughs from the beams
of the covered feed lot.
AS the manure piles up during the
winter he has only to adjust the rack
by hooking the chain one link higher.

steers from getting into the feed racks
as they will do If they can. 1t also
provides a good place for the fatten-
ing hogs that follow the steers to stay.
Pieces of 2-by-4 are stuck through the
links of the chain at the proper height
to keep the steers from getting their
front feet in the rack, yet these allow
the steers plenty of space to get in to
