elf-Feeder Is
Best for Swine
Unmannerly Greediness and
Gluttony Done Away
i With by Device.

prepared by the United states Department
of Agriculture.)
"Hoggishness" and seating like a
pig" are traditional phrases to de-
scribe unmannerly greediness and glut-
tony. Recent experiments in the
feeding of pigs suggest that the
phrases do not always apply. When
pigs are fed by hand they do. in fact,
rush in to make sure of their share of
the feed. But, put hogs in n pasture
and they Craze leisurely and in con-
tentment.
Help Themselves.
If, instead of feeding by hand, the
owner installs self-feeder from which
the hogs and pigs may eat what they
want, when they want it, and in what
ever quantity they desire, they soon
lose their gluttonous ways.
Commenting on series Of cOmpar-
alive feeding tests in which sows were
settled and handled, E. 2. Russell of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, said noticeable fact about
the sows In the settled lots was that
"there never was any crowding at the
feeders. Scarcely ever were there
more than two or three sows eating
at the same time, even when a dozen
or more sows were being fed from the
one feeder. Only small quantity
would be consumed at one time. 1t
was taken slowly and apparently
thoroughly masticated and digested."
Lose Gluttony Ways.
Probably this moderate eating and
thorough digestion accounts for some
of the good results of self-feeding.
The natural presumption of most per-
sons who have seen hogs eat would be
that they would waste great amount
of grain and would overeat. The first
thought would be to question whether
the saving in labor would not be more
than balanced by waste Of feed. In
stead Of this, careful experimentation
shows that the labor cost is only one
saving from self-feeding. Settled
hogs eat less grain than is usually fed
by hand. They make better gains
from the quantity consumed, and the
quantity of grain consumed per pound
of gain is lower than with hogs fed
on platform in a feed lot.
When left to their own devices.
"eating like pig seems to mean eat
ing with nicely adjusted instructive
regulation of the diet for maximum
growth and development.
