Feeding Buttermilk to
Hogs for Best Results

safe rule to apply in the feed
Ing OF buttermilk to any kind of hogs
and one that will almost Invariably
give good results Is to feed che butter
milk at the rate OF three pounds az
buttermilk to each one pound Of grain
the pigs consume. This will apply
equally with brood sows, young Digs
and fattening pigs.
A brood sow, for instance, normalIv
would require somewhere between
pound and a half and two pounds of
grain per 100 pounds live weight per
day. That is, SOW weighing 400
pounds would need between seven and
eight pounds of grain per day If she
were being fed grain only. It win
take about five pounds of buttermilk
to replace one pound of grain, so that
In feeding buttermilk to these sows
you can feed to best advantage about
eighteen to twenty pounds of butter
milk or 21s gallons per day. and
could then reduce the grain feed to
not more than five pounds.

Plan for Feeding Corn
and Soy Beans to Hogs

A very satisfactory method of feed
ing corn and soy beans to fa.tening
hogs is to feed both free choice In
self-feeder. One bushel Of soy beans
and from five to ten pounds Of min
eral mixture fed with six bushels OF
corn In dry lot will produce 100
pounds OF pork. Recent feeding tests
at the Purdue experiment station
show that when fed mineral mix
ture with soy beans and corn II is not
necessary to grind the soy beans, Al
the hogs will do practically rs we'll
when the soy beans are whole.

Objectionable Brands

Some wool growers have been using
tar and other Objectionable paints
for branding their sheep. Tar softens
during the securing process and
spreads among the wool fbers instead

SHELTER MUST BE
GIVEN FOR SHEEP

Because sheep require less attention
than any other farm animal. they ar
most frequently neglected. Likewise
there Is no farm animal that will re

The cardinal principles In the win

backs and dry feet. exercise and pro-
lection from exposure.
While the ewes will not be Injured

rain that lasts for some time. The
Inevitable result of such exposure be-
Ing general outbreak Of colds, many
OF which will develop into lung trou-
hle that Is generally fatal. Tar
smeared on the noses Of sheep having
bad colds Is highly recommended by
some.
Provision must be made for regular
shelters If best results are expected.
Sheep that are obliged to seek shelter
In shed or barn with the colts and
caves seldom do well and injuries are
common. The ideal shelter need not

AS previously stated, dry feet are

D. C.PLANS SCHOOLS.
OF DEMONSTRATION
Two to Be Established Here
for Use in Presenting New
Methods to Local Teachers.

The demonstration school. which
has made its appearance in virtually
all the progressive public school sys-
TENS of the United States. will make
its debut in Washington at the begin
nIng or the new school term in Sep
remoer
Plans were completed by school au
thorities yesterday to open two dem
onstration schools in September-one
for the white system in the Thomson
School and the other for the. .colored
system in the Garrison School
All details concerning the introduc
tion of these new schools in Wash
tngton have been worked out by AS
eistant Supts. Robert l.. Haycock and
Rose Lees Hardy.
The cream of the teaching corps
those teachers who have shown un-
usual ability and efficiency in certain
lines-will be transferred to the two
demonstration schools. Here other
teachers who have not kept pace with
the rapid progress and changes in the
method of teaching will be sent TO
observe and study with a view TO
adopting the new systems in their
classes
Operate Normally.
There will be little difference in the
makeup and operation of the demon
stration schools from the traditional
schools. No attempt will be made,
school officials explained, to encour-
age special children TO attend them.
These schools will carry out the aim
of all other schools-to serve the COM
nlunity in which they are located.
While the schools primarily will be
established for the purpose of dem
onStrating to teachers the latest
and approved methods in educational
instruction, considerable experiment
ration will be carried on with new
devices designed to aid the pupil and
teacher. For instance, it is planned
10 try out for the first time a new
model blackboard map. An expert
geography teacher will show in prac
tice just how it can be used to
supplement the study of geography.
Z This new map is in outline, and
can be used in building up informa-
tion about any country or continent.
When the study of any special
geographical subject is. completed, all
data inscribed on the blackboard can
be erased and the board used for
some other phase of geography study.
Try Out Portable Furniture.
Portable furniture will be installed
IN the first and second grades of the
demonstration schools, and school
authorities aim to give this new
equipment a thorough test. Superin-
tendent Frank w. Ballou is a strong
advocate of portable furniture, and
when the best type is determined
through the experiments in the de-
monstration schools, large quantity
probably will be purchased for the
new schools to be erected under the
five-year building program.
DIR. Ballou and other officials have
made a comprehensive study of the
demonstration schools in other cities
While in Philadelphia with the COM
mittee of school planners the superin-
tendent inspected the Logan de-
monstration school. and Assistant
Supt. Haycock studied schools of a
similar type in Cincinnati, where he
went in February to attend the
annual meeting of the department of
superintendence of the National
Education Association.
