Alfalfa Versus Glover
for Pasture for Swine

Alfalfa eXcelled red clover as pas
ture for hogs in recent comparisons
made at the Indiana station. Alfalfa
proved capable of carrying more hogs
per acre than clover and produced
slightly larger gains with less corn
than was required on clover pasture.
The showing of clover pasture, how
ever, was very satisfactory. The two
pastures carried Is to 20 spring pigs
to the acre when the pigs were full
fed and about seven pigs when limited
grain feeding was practiced.
In one test pigs were fed limited
ration of two pounds of grain daily
for each 100 pounds live weight. Part
of the pigs grazed alfalfa and part
clover pasture. Gains made by the
two lots were practically identical, but
the pigs on alfalfa required only 243
pounds Of corn per 100 pounds of gain,
compared to 255 pounds for the pigs
on clover pasture.
In comparison of pigs which were
fulfilled corn and tankage on the two
pastures the pigs on alfalfa outgained
those on clover by a slight margin
and required five pounds less corn and
four and one-half pounds less tankage
than the pigs which ran on clover pas.

SWAT THE FLY" TO
PREVENT DISEASE

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Flies are one OF the worst enemies
of man. They breed prolitically and
prosper in filth. Their conformation is
admirably suited for carrying death
dealing organisms from questionable
places which they frequent, to the
dwelling places, food utensils, and food
Of man, says the bureau of dairying,
United Safes Department of Agricul-
ture. Files are a nuisance and anyone
who fights them Is doing humanity q
service.
The female fly is not fastidious about
the place in which her offspring are to
be born. A manure pile represents the
height Of her ambition ia this respect,
and when she has the opportunity she
deposits be- eggs there In masses. The
manure pie reciprocates as an incu-
bator for her Young, and IN Q few days
the maggots VIII oh hatch from her eggs
have developed into full fedged flies,
all ready 10 start on campaign Of
destruction and perhaps death.
The fly is covered with a hairy
growth and it's feet resemble hairy
pads. 1t probably carries as much
filth and as many bacteria on its body,
for Its size, as anything which lives.
No wonder then, considering this point
alone that the fly is an enemy of milk.
But this is not all, for the fly is q
creature Of filthy practices. 1t sucks
its food without fear or favor and then
regurgitates It at will. A smooth
surfaced milk utensil may be handy
place for this procedure.
The fly scatters its excreta pro-
miscuously. Its specks may be found
on any place it frequents. They look
unsightly, but are even worse than
they look, because they ofen contain
mental to health. Is 1t any wonder
that we are besought and urged to
''swat the fly?
No one is more alive to the danger
from flies than the milk inspector. His
training and his ambition both call
for the destruction Of this enemy of
clean, safe milk. But sometimes he
forgets that not all of the producers
are familiar with the characteristics
and habits of the fly. He thus over
looks an opportunity. He should ex-
plain to his dairymen and also to the
people who consume the milk why
there should be adequate protection
from flies. When full explanation is
made to the dairyman about the fly
and its habits, he becomes interested
in getting rid of manure piles, trash,
and other breeding places, and In trap
ping and poisoning the flies which

FORAGE CROPS ARE
SWINE NECESSITY

Experience has shown that forage
crops are necessary for growing pigs
economically. So states William G.
Shelley, assistant animal husbandman
at the New Jersey State College of
Agriculture, who continues:
"Pasturing on green forage saves a
great amount of feed, allows plenty Of
fresh air, gives the animal exercise
and helps to keep the quarters sani-
tary.
Where it thrives alfalfa makes one
of the best permanent pastures for
swine, as it can be pastured from early
spring to late summer and is high In
protein and mineral matter Since
heavy pasturage is injurious to the
crop it is well to restrict the number
of pigs, allowing the plant to grow and
be good for two or three cuttings of
hay.
Red clover also makes an excellent
forage. Pigs should not be turned on
1t until 1t has reached a good growth,
as too early pasturing is likely to kill
1t out. 1t can be pastured until it be-
Genes woody in the summer, when it
contains too much fiber to be taken
care of by the pigs digestive tract.
Sweet clover is another leguminous
forage which should be pastured
rather closely, as this encourages new
growth and binders woodiness.
Rape is unsurpassed as an annual
forage crop for swine 1t is palatable,
succulent and high in protein and ash.
AS 1t may be sown both early and late
In the season, forage may be provided
at any time in the summer. Pigs
should not be turned on it until it is
about ten inches high. If rape is not
pastured too closely growth will con-
tinue until fall.
Field peas, sown either alone or
with oats or rape, is a very satisfac-
tory summer forage crop, as it is
legume and compares with alfalfa and
clover in its protein content.
RYE furnishes supply of green.
succulent feed material in the late fall
and early spring and is therefore of
great benefit to the breeding herd
especially the brood sow nursing fall
and spring litters.
"A number of other forage crops,
such as soy beans, bluegrass and even
some weeds are relished by swine. The
point for the grower to keep in mind
is that every bit of green material con-
sumed by the pig means a saving of
some grain in growing that pig for
market"

But Do Mothers EUer
Get Periods of Rest ?

In one of Indianapolis largest de-
partment stores, there is employed, as
housekeeper, little woman-the
mother of four children. The father,
now dead, was Spanish war vet
eran and the three smaller children
have been in school at Knightstown.
All the children are muslcal-the
two oldest boys play comets, the
third boy a trombone, and the young
est, girl, is learning to play the
piano. 1t being vacation time the
four were practicing together and the
mother said, Goodness me! An or
chestra right in my own family! But

Prepare Early for
Filling the Silo
Arrange for Help, Power
and Cutting Equipment.

Plan early for the important work
Of filling the silo. Arrange for your
help, power and cutting equipment.
Make measurements for placing cut
ter and power. Plan to have a clear
road TO the cutter and also one leav-
ing, so that the loads Of fodder can
easily be brought to the machine and
leave without requiring backing or
difficulties in getting away. Select
good foundation for the cutter and set
up blower pipe as nearly vertical as
possible so as to avoid friction and
unnecessary length of pipe. The ma
chine should be set level and securely
fastened by stakes and by sinking
grooves for wheels. In putting up
blower pipe or carrier, care should be
taken to securely fasten top at en-
trance to roof In building your silo
ii is well to construct ladder reach
ing from top door to outside opening
at roof so that 1t will be easy for q
man to go to the top of an empty silo
and open the roof door to lower rope
or pulley for elevating pipe or car
rier.
Corn should be fairly well matured,
for at this time the plant contains its
greatest amount of food material.
This stage may be determined by OBJ
serving the denting of the corn, the
drying Of the bottom leaves or some
of the outside husks.
The early dent stage is that period
when the corn is best matured for
putting in shocks. If the corn be
sowed thick in drills or broadcast its
maturity can be determined by tassel
and silk. With cane, kaffir corn or
milo maize the same rule will hold
true as to maturity. If the corn Is
overmatured it will be necessary to
add water which can best be done by
using hose and putting the water in
at the blower, using from one-half to
one barrel per load according to the
dryness of the fodder. Where the
silage is to be used for fattening,
rather than milk production, it is inn
portant that the corn be mature. and
for this purpose it is best to plant an
early variety in those sections where
q later one will not mature

Exercise Mare and Foal
in Cool of the Evening

In the evening when II is cool and
the flies are inactive, turn the mare
and foal out on pasture. This will
allow the colt to get plenty of ex-
ercise, grass, and fresh air with the
least possible interference from flies.
When the mare is not working, the
pasture is the best place for both
mare and foal, but they should be pro-
vided with shade of some sort. When
natural shade is not available, a cheap
structure should be built to meet the
needs, Hang few sacks under the
trees or in the shed so that the mare
and foal can use them to chase of
dies.

lizard Luck" With Pigs
Result of Wrong Feeds

A great deal of so-called hard luck"
with young pigs soon after narrowing
can be traced directly to improper
feeding and in most cases to over
feeding of the sows. Just because a
sow seems hungry just after farrow-
ing is no index that she should re-
ceive feed.
A liberal supply of water should al
ways be available. This will usually
satisfy and quiet the SOW. She should
receive very little feed for at least
"a hours after narrowing. The first
few feeds of grain should be light
and fed in the form of thick slop.
She should not be on full feed for
from six to ten days after narrowing.

Dairy Hints


Crossing dairy breeds is like mixing
good ink with good water; the value
of each is lost.
Baby calves respond with great sus-
ceptibility to care especially during
the first few days of their lives.
The most profitable method Of ham
ding dairy cows by the average farm
er is to market cream and use the
skim milk for bringing up calves and
pigs.
1t is usually a good rule not to feed
milk to exceed one-eighth of the calf's
weight, at birth, for the first six weeks.
The four generally recognized lead
ing breeds-Ayrshire, Holstein, Guern-
sey and comprise so per cent
OF all registered dairy cattle In the
country.
After taking the calf from the COW
it should be fed Its mothers milk at
body temperature, approximately 103
degrees Fahrenheit) at least three
times daily and preferably four,

Clean Milk Production
Brings Back the Money

mat season of the year is here
when milk is too often returned 70 the
shipper because 1t is unfit for con-
sumption or has arrived in sour con-
dition. Flavors and odors In milk re-
suit from four causes and it would be
we'll for the milk producer to note
these causes and guard ag;. inst ship
ping milk which cannot be us 4 there
by saving a big loss to his business
this summer.
These causes are as follows:
/. Internal or physical condition Of
the COW.
2. FIavors and odors absorbed with
in the body of the COW from highly
favored feeds such as turnips, onions,
etc.
g. Odors absorbed into the milk aft
er production
4. Bacterial development within the
milk while standing.
Control of these four factors this
summer will mean dollars and cents
in the milk producers pocket. These
things are also very important for the
cream producer to consider, as high
quality butter cannot be made from
low-quality cream, and If the butter
maker cannot make superior butter
demanding a higher price, he cannot
possibly give the producer any more
for his product.-H. R. Lascelles,
field man, Colorado State Dairy Com
mission.
