Finishing Porkers on Grain
Late in Fall Is Mistake.

Limiting the amount of corn fed
to March narrowed pigs during the
summer and finishing them on the
new crop in the fall has been mis-
take every year since the World war,
according TO records complied by
swine specialists at the University of
Illinois. Without exception. the drop
in hog prices between September and
December has been more than great
enough to offset the advantage Of
feeding cheaper new corn in the fall.
Last year when old corn was scarce
and high in price, many hog growers
were tempted to carry their pigs
along as cheaply as POSSIBLE. waiting
for the new corn crop. By so doing,
statistics show that the producers
saved about S1.20 head on the ra-
ton but that they took an average
of $3.50 less per head in December
because of lower prices. The net loss
to the producers from holding was
$3.50 per head.

production is that OF early market

Milk for Poultry Has
HeaIthful Advantages

Milk can be used in many ways that
will be of benefit to poultry. 1t can
be used either sweet or sour; it is
really more healthful sour than sweet.
There is nothing else that will aid
in keeping growing chicks in prime
condition more than sour milk or but
termlk given them as a drink or used
in mixing up an occasional damp mash.
Another advantage in the use of
milk is that it takes the place of flesh
of some kind. When milk is not used
enc very naturally needs to use either
beef scraps, beef meal, or fish scrap
Poultry raisers keeping cows should
use every particle of milk they have
to spare in their poultry feeding. If
they have a good deal of milk and not
enough fowls to consume it, it will pay
them to increase the poultry flock in
proportion.

Cockerels and Pullets
Should Be SEPARATED

Cockerels should be separated from
pullets when they are from eight to
ten weeks of age. The pullets for
next winters laying flock will develop
faster and more evenly if there are no
cockerels in the lot to disturb and an
noy them. according to William Kohl
meyer, of Purdue university.
When pullets are left in the broOder
house by themselves they have addi-
tional room, which in many cases is
badly needed. When cockerels are
sorted out it is often possible to leave
the pullets in the original brooder
house until they are ready for the
laying house.

Old "Slim" Sallee Was
... Best With Bases Full

Old "Slim" Sallee, who pitched his
last ball in the major league back in
1921, was never known to be worried
by base hits and, if anything, pitched
better ball when the bases were full.
A typical Sallee game would net the
opposition anywhere from nine to
twelve hits per game, and once he
even went so far as to turn in a
13-hit, one-run game.
Naturally his manager knew that
hits had the effect of squirting Sallee
to his utmost efficiency and so, conse-
quently. remained unworried by the
barrage that generally took place
when his ace was on the mound.
