Proper Ration for Mare
Is of Much Importance

'The best time to grow foals, and
the time when they will make their
largest gains Is when they are being
carried by their DAMS" says N. X.
Carnes of the animal husbandry divi-
sion at University farm at st Paul,
MINI. MANY farmers do not realize
this, and begin feeding the mare a
proper ration only after the foal Is
here. The brood mare, when in foal,
should be fed high protein ration, a
ration which is rich In muscle and
bone building material. This material
is supplied in the form of oats, bran
and oil meal, as a concentrate, and
clover or alfalfa hay as roughage.
1.-THE most common causes for
losses, among foals are constipation
and navel trouble. AS soon as the
young fOal arrives, see that he gets a
good drink of his mothers first milk.
This fore-mllk or colostrum has purga-
tive properties and will usually clear
the foal's intestines Of the excrement
accumulated prior to birth. If the
digestive tract is not cleaned by the
fOre-milk, give the foal tablespoon
full OF castor oil and warm water and
soap rectal injection.
Another thing the farmer must
watch out for is navel infection. II
pus and disease germs get inside the
body through the opening of the UNI
bilical cord, local infection or Joint
NJ may develop and the foal be lost.
The best way to prevent this Is to
keep the stable in sanitary condition
and treat the cord Immediately after
the foa is born with boric acid powder
or tincture of Iodine"

FARM A
uEk4e
YOUNG PORKER WILL
MAKE CHEAPER GAIN

When does a pig make Its cheapest
gains, and when does 1t sell for the
highest price per pound? This Is a
question that often confronts the
farmer who is raising pigs for the
market, says Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief
of the animal husbandry division at
Clemson college, in discussing the
marketing of hogs.
Experimental data prove beyond a
doubt that the younger the pig the
cheaper the gains. A review of the
pig market reveals another very in
teresting fact, namely, that feeder
pigs sell for higher price per pound
than those which are ready for the
block. If we put these two Ideas to-
gether 1t would seem that there Is
more money In producing feeder pigs
than there Is in producing fat hogs
ready for market. OF course there are
many factors, says Professor Starkey,
to take into consideration in produc-
Ing feeder pigs. For example, fairly
large filters must be raised. II the
herd does not average at least six pigs
per litter there will be no money in 1t.
Large filters and cheap pigs go to-
gether.
One reason why feeder pigs are so
much in demand Is that there are so
many who do not keep a brood SOW
and yet they want one or two pigs to
fatten for pork.
The man who produces feeder pigs
on a large scale must have consid-
cradle equipment. Several small lots
are necessary in order that not more
than two brood sows may be in lot.
Usually good results cannot be OBJ
tanned by keeping several brood sows
and filters together.
With the small-lot proposition there
also comes the problem Of fresh water.
Running streams are ideal for the
hogs, but hard to keep fenced. II
water is piped to the lots, care must
be taken so that there will be no mud
wallows.
Male pigs should be castrated at
from six to ten weeks of age. The
younger they are castrated the less
will be the shock. The best time to
wean feeder pigs Is when they are
eight weeks Of age.
The greatest demand for feeder
pigs is in the fall when corn Is ready
to be used. At this time carlot ship
ments can be made.
