Brood sows should have access at
all times to mineral mixture, and
the following has given satisfactory
results: Fifty parts limestone of
high calcium content, % parts of
bonemeal, 20 parts salt, 2 parts
iron oxide, .01 part copper sulphate
and .02 parts potassium iodide.
Exercise for brood sows should
not be overlooked. Feeding them
some distance from the sleeping
quarters will help to provide it.
Farmers Enter New
Swine Feeding Trials
Twelve nominations from Min
nesota farmers have been received
for the national swine record of
performance project which the de-
partment of agriculture of the Uni
versity of Minnesota will carry on
in conjunction with the Iowa and
Wisconsin college stations and the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. E. F. Ferrin, of the ami
NAL husbandry staff Of the univer-
sity is chairman Of the joint COM
mittee and in personal charge of
the Minnesota experiments.
The object is to locate strains of
breeding that will produce high
quality pork at the least expendi-
ture for feed. Nominations in the
Minnesota trials will be limited to
16,
Every breeder cooperating with
the university men in this project
agrees to furnish four pigs-two
gifts and two barrows-all from
the same litter. The trial lot pigs
are to be bought outright by the
university, but each breeder will be
given the privilege of buying back
one of the gifts after the tests have
been completed.
Beginning when they are IS
days old the pigs are to be fed un-
til they average 225 pounds in
weight, at which time one gilt and
one barrow of each lot will be
slaughtered and the carcasses stud
led to determine quality. Feed
costs will also be computed. The
ration of each lot will consist of
shelled corn, SO parts of 60 per
cent digester tankage, rs parts of
"a per cent linseed oilmeal, and 25
parts of choice alfalfa meal. A
uniform mineral mixture will also
be given each lot.
The project is based upon the
record of performance work car
ried on in Denmark for 13 years,
says Professor FERN. In Denmark
the work has served to reduce ma
terially the amount of feed to
make pork and has so improved the
quality of the carcasses that the
Danes command the highest prices
in the British market, where pork
products from six countries, in
Guiding the United States, are sold
on the 'Smithfeld market in Lon
don

Agricultural Notes
Pig Crop Depends on
Care of Brood Sows

SEOP DSPCuoS Oh
Care of Brood Sows
Size and quality of the pig crop
next fall will depend in large
measure upon the care and feed
given brood sows this winter, SAYS
H. G. Zavoral, livestock special
list of the agricultural extension
service of the University of Min
neSota.
Home grown feeds are usually
most economical and should furn-
ish the basis of the ration, he saws.
Variety adds to palatability and US
ually supplies more of the neces-
sary nutrients. Too high a percent
age or too low percentage of
protein feeds are common errors
in feeding. Following rations have
given satisfactory results in winter
ing brood sows:
1. SO parts whole or ground oats ;
40 parts ear corn; skimmilk or 10
per cent tankage; alfalfa hay.
2. so parts ground barley; SO
parts ground oats; skimmilk; al
falfa hay.
8. 80 parts ear corn; 80 parts
ground barley; 80 parts ground
oats; 10 parts protein supplement
of so parts tankage; 25 parts oil
meal; 25 parts ground alfalfa hay.
33 parts corn; 33 parts oats !;
33 parts shorts or middlings; al
falfa hay; skimmilk or tankage.
The amount of feed depends on
the condition of the animals. Two
pounds of grain for every 100
pounds of pig is usually sufficient.
Young gifts require more feed than
mature sows because they are still
growing. Other feeds may be CIV
en- dry or in slop. Enough hot wat
er should be added to take the chill
off the slop during winter months.
Skimmilk, good quality alfalfa
hay, or clover hay should be fed to
furnish protein. A good protein
supplement is composed of SO parts
tankage (25 parts of oilmeal, and
25 parts of ground alfalfa hay,

Farmers Demands Dictate
Tariff Change, Smoot Says
Forecasts General Upward Revis.
ion on Agricultural Products
in New Bill

Washington, Feb. 9.-The new
tariff bill will be based primarily
on an agricultural rate increasing
plan, but will include a great num-
Der of increases for textiles and
manufactured articles, Chairman
Reed Smoot of the senate finance
committee said late today upon his
return from series of conferences
with President-elecc Herbert Hoo
yer.
Senator Smoot, republican tariff
spokesman, gave the following
thumbnail outline of what he ex-
poets the new bill to provide:
General upward revision on near
" all agricultural products, al
though not as great as some agri-
cultural interests have demanded
not as much as 81 bushel on
wheat or three times the present
egg tariff probably duty on hides
but not unless there is common
surate increase of duties on shoes.
Increases on textiles, particular
ly the finer grades of cotton tex
lures. No further increase for
wool.
Slight increase in duty on sugar,
although not 8 cents a pound, as
demanded in some quarters.
A much higher rate on cement
and other special but unnamed pro-
ducts, which Senator Smoot says
are now suffering, probably includ-
ing brick and metals.
Mr.. Shoots position was re-
garded as rejecting the views of
Mr.. Hoover, who is reported to be
disturbed over the possibility of a
runaway tariff, with rates SO high
