Breeding Ewes Require
Best of Feed in Winter

For their feed In the line of rough
age, there is nothing better or cheap
er than alfalfa or clover hay. bean
straw and roots for sheep. II the
ewes go into winter In good condition
and have plenty Of these feeds, they
will need no grain until within a few
weeks Of Landing time. Even II one
has only a fair amount Of these feeds
and gives them with corn stover and
straw, the flock will usually do well.
When one has not enough alfalfa,
clever or peavine hay or bean straw
to supply at least one good feed a
day, some grain should be given to
furnish a fair amount Of protein. The
eve must have a certain amount of
this kind Of feed to properly nourish
the foetus and grow her wool. Oats
are splendid for this purpose. Gluten
is a very good feed to mix with ST.
lage or with the chopped roots.
It is very seldom with a fair-sized
flock that all the individuals feel well.
Those that do not should be separated
from the flock and be given special
care.

Badger Stockmen Favor
Shipping Associations

Nearly half of Wisconsin's live
stock takes the cooperative route to
market. 4tE
approximately As per cent Of all the
stock shipped in the state is handled
by cooperative shipping associations,
according to Marvin A. SchaarsN of the
economics staff al the Wisconsin Col
lege Of Agriculture. Stockmen are
partial to this method Of shipping for
several reasons
First, he pointed out, 1t brings q
greater net return to the farmers. In
1928, stockmen received nearly 20 per
cent more for stock sold through their
association than from the local buy
ers. At the same time, the cooper
atives undoubtedly raised the prices
paid by local buyers.
Other advantages Of the cooperative
associations that Schaars enumerated
included the fact that farmers are
paid according to the quality Of their
stock Shrinkage Is kept at a mini
mum and assembling costs have been
reduced Farmers have been kept in
contact with the market and have as
a result attempted to feed the type
Of stock that brings the best price at
the packing plants.
The average marketing cost, accord
Ing to Schaars, Is 45 cents a hundred
weight for cattle, IS cents for hogs,
and rs cents for calves and sheep.

comes In May. To reach the best pos

WARNING ISSUED
ON HOG CHOLERA

Qrspsrsd by tbs UnitsA States Department
OF Agrfculturs)
Frequent reports Of h~og-cholera out
breaks just received by the United
States Department Of Agriculture are
the occasion for Official warnings urg-
Ing swine owners to be on the alert
against this disease. The reports are
from scattered areas but thus far the
disease has appeared chiefly in the
Central West.
AS previously pointed out In gov
eminent publications and addresses
by veterinary officials. the fall months
are the time Of the year when hog
cholera is most prevalent.
This year the control Of hog cholera
is hampered somewhat by a temporary
shortage of serum for immunizing su-
sceptible animals. The situation Is
made more serious by the fact that
a large proportion Of swine In the
United States have not been I'M
munized owing to the low ebb of
cholera In recent years. More than
that, hogs at this season of the year
are of good size and a great many are
being .fattened for market. Large
hogs require more serum for proper
immunization thar small pigs. the
dosage being governed by the weight
of the animal. Serum companies are
now increasing their production, but
as the process of serum manufacture
requires several weeks, stock owners
are urged to take special precautions
In the meantime. When serum for Inn
munizing cannot be obtained, self
imposed quarantine measures are
highly desirable. These include the ex-
clusion from hog lots and hog pas
lures of stock buyers, ~neighbors,
stray dogs, and other possible car
riers Of hog-cholera infection. .
Sanitation Of hog lots and houses
should receive attention also, with a
view Of destroying possible lurking
places for the virus. The use OF dis
lnfectants and also direct sunlight are
effective against hog-cholera infection.
Outbreaks of hog cholera should be re-
ported Immediately by the most direct
means to federal and state sanitary
officials who will make investigations,
diagnoses, and render such further
aid as their field forces can handle.

CLEAN UP LICE

The ~desirability Of cleaning up

In northern parts of the country
winter weather is usually too cold for

effective methods of treating animals
for lice. During cold weather busting
powders are of some value in helping
to hold parasites In check, but they

for freeing live stock Of lice Is during
the mild fall months. The effect of

An important precaution to take is

FEED FOR PROFIT
IN FEEDING HOGS

Hogs may be fed so that only a
small profit may be made or they may
be given such a balanced ration that
they will return a maximum profit.
There Is no magic in producing the
highest gains per pig and a resulting
high profit. 1t all depends on how the
animals are fed.
For example," says W. ". Shay,
swine extension specialist at the
North Carolina State college. I'VE may
take two men. each Of whom owns ten
50pound pigs They feed those pigs
through a period of 10 days The nrst
man is Of an economical trend Of
mind, so he feeds his pigs a half ra-
ton which amounts to 1900 pounds,
costing, at 81 per hundred, $28. Hts
pigs gain 100 pounds on each 275
pounds of feed given them. This feed
costs $3.50 and the pigs gain q total
Of 4T3 pounds, worth, at IA cents per
pound. S86.22. Deducting the cost Of
the feed, the grower has left $4O.22,
or a profit per pig Of $4.O2.
Now. the second man is out for the
greatest profit that he can get out
OF his pigs. He full feeds his ten
pigs with the result that during the
Today period they eat $500 pounds
of feed. costing $50. During that time
and with that feed they gain 800
pounds, worth, at IA cents per pound,
SIP. The second farmer thus makes
a total profit Of $50 above cost Of feed,
or a profit Of So per pig"
Mr.. Shay states that this greater
profit would be received ever though
the feed consumption per hundred
pounds gain in the case Of the second
farmers pigs was 325 pounds, or so
pounds more than the first owners
pige, and the cost Of 100 pounds gain
was $3.50, which is one dollar more
than the first farmers cost. More feed
might have been withheld by the first
grower and the profit eliminated en-
tirely, but there would be nothing new
In that, as Mr.. Shay has found many
farmers p~ractcing such q system for
several years. Even today, after the
value Of the feeding demonstration
has been amply proven, there are still
men who seem to feel that 1t Is better
for a hog to pay a profit Of 81 In a
given length Of time than for 1t to pay
a profit Of So In the same time. 1t all
depends on the feed.

Two-fifths of our enormous wheat
crop is annually left on the farm to
be fed TO farm animals, according to
the findings of the Sears-Roebuck
Agricultural Foundation. In addition,
2S% Of the wheat that Is shipped of
or 17% of the total wheat crop comes
back to the farm as mill feeds. where
1t is made into human food In the
form of meat.
Mill feeds are a valuable and i'm

dairy section. Cattle consume on an
average 44.2% of all mill feeds. These
are rich In protein and used In con-
nection with corn and tankage make

next greatest consumer of mill feeds,
with 41.5To. Besides, 5.6% goes to
horses, $50 to poultry and 3.7% to
