Live Stock Notes

A breeding SOW should be kept just
as long as she Is good.
The lazy, sleeping sow is not the
one to select for a breeder.
The sow. like the dairy COW, should
not be thin at narrowing time.
The hog will open its mouth and
breathe through that channel, and also
through the nostrils, when very warm.
The curl In a pigs tail is an indi-
cation Of good health. When the curl
begins to straighten out, look for dis
ease and give a change of feed.
One acre Of corn fodder making 20
bushels of grain will put on twice as
much gain in the form of silage as
1t will fed from the shock.
Cheap horses always have sold at
low prices, and they always will. At
this time, however, good, young mares
and geldings cannot be said t o be
cheap.
Salt is a good appetizer. Give live
stock plenty of 1t. Some farmers
practice mixing graduated salt In
with the grain ration while others
make 1t a point to see that salt ticks
are placed in the feedlot.
An understood, scrawny boar cannot
be expected to sire vigorous pigs. The
boar should be large for his age, wide
and deep, have plenty of bone, and
stand on straight legs with strong feet
and pasterns. He must also be
smooth. well proportional from end to
end, and of the right type.

Sepia Pigs a Surprise
in Breeding Experiment

In~breeding experiments conducted
by the bureau of animal industry,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, with swine has resulted in
a number of animals possessing very
unusual characteristics. The most
outstanding result obtained thus far
In the first generation of brother-sis-
ter mating in swine has been the seq
regation Of certain peculiar coat
color combinations.
One Poland China line produced
four white-spotted s~epia-colored pigs
out of a total of IS narrowed. This
is apparently a new color in swine.
Experiments with pigs of the Chester
White breed produced some red-black
and white pigs in the first genera
ton Of brother-sister mating.
The explanations for such occur
FENCES are somewhat complex but are
based essentially on the operation Of
Mendel's law. The object Of the
studies is to obtain a more extended
knowledge of factors involved in ami
NAL breeding and how they operate.

CONSUMERS DEMAND
LIGHTER MEAT CUTS

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Agricultural investigators who are
responsible for the planning Of beef
cattle experimental work are turning
their attention and energy quite large
ly to problems concerning the fatten-
ing of young cattle, either calves or
ye~arlings, in an effort to ascertain the
most satisfactory methods of produc-
ing beef from cattle of these ages.
The great mass of feeding trials con-
Quoted with beef cattle during the last
quarter century has been with refer
nee TO older cattle-steers two and
a half years of age at the time they
went On feed and in some cases three
and a half years Of age.
This is as it should be, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in encouraging the experimental
work with the younger class Of beef
cattle. The b~eef-cattle industry is go
ing through a marked change at the
present time, largely because of the
changing taste of the consuming pub
lie, which is now demanding lighter
cuts of meat. Already this demand
has resulted In many retail markets
handling only light carcasses of beef,
such as those Of yearling cattle.
While formerly the demand for
heavy cattle seemed to be almost I'M
limited, the reverSe Is true today.
Packers say that Is to 20 per cent of
the total receipts of beef cattle Is
ample to take care of the call for
heavy carcasses, whereas the remain
der is for cattle weighing from 700 to
LOO pounds on foot, or carcasse
weighing from 400 to 600 pounds.
This means that the demand today is
quite largely for cattle under two
years of age.
Some little experimental work has
been done with cattle Of different
ages. The results to date show that
calves placed in the feed lot at wean-
ing time and continued therein until
finished for market make from so to
70 per cent more gain from the same
feed than do more mature steers, es-
pecially those that are from two to
four years of age. This change is due
to the fact that part of the gain in
light cattle is growth of nonedible
parts, whereas most of the gains in
heavy steers is meat. Feeder year.

POULTRY NOTES

A farm without poultry is a fnan-
cial mistake.
A turkey hen can cover from fifteen
to twenty eggs during incubation.
Raising geese, exclusively, would
hardly be found profitable. The Icy
ing season is too short, lasting only
about two months.
Without a good mash before them
all the time your hens will fall short
in egg production.
The free use of kerosene or crude
oil on the roost and in the cracks In
your poultry house will help to exter"
inmate mites.
Watch for any bad habits among
your layers. If you find any broken
egg shells around on the floors, make
an effort to locate the guilty n and
try to break up the habit or dispose
of the offender.
