Salt for Pigs

Many farmers never feed salt to
'igs because of the danger of having
hem get too much at one time, but
here is no possibility of their doing
% II the salt Is well mixed with the
round feed. says Wallaces' Farmer
Vt the Iacombe (Alberta) dominion
experiment. station, 1t was found that
he grinding of feed was made espe
tally profitable because OF the con
enience In feeding salt. 1t is report
d that the addition of salt not only
erved as a spice to whet the appetite,
'ut 1t also added to the palatability
Il the feeds used, the difference being
effected In the extra amount of feed
onsumed by the salt-fed pigs. In tests
onducted the last three summers, the
Sc of IS pounds of salt in every 100
'ounds of meal mixture, with pigs In

nd barley, resulted, on the average, In
80 per cent Increase In the daily
aims and a % per cent decrease in

Efficient Milk Tests
Can Be Made at Home

Here Is an easy test which anyone
can make of his milk at home:
l.. After the milk is all cooled and
stirred. take an eight or ten-ounce
sample; place In a clean milk bottle
or fruit jar and cover lightly.
2. Set the sample In a cool place
for SO or 70 hours. You might take
n test at 36 hours; the other at Y.
8. Warm the milk by placing sam
pie in a pan of water at 95 to 100 de
grees F. for about ten minutes.
4. Now remove the cap and smell /;
then taste the milk by taking 1t into
the mouth and tipping your head so
that 1t will reach the taste glands at
the base of your tongue. Discharge II
from the mouth do not swallow 1t.
s. Good milk has little taste and
leaves no disagreeable taste In the
mouth.
6. Set the rest of the sample In a
warm place, with the cap on, to sour.
7. Good milk sours with an even.
Thin curd. II 1t shows a watery, or
CLASSY" broken, curd, you probably
either have one or more cows giving
bad milk or your methods of milk
production are not good.-Milwaukee

Close Inbreeding Likely
to Affect Matching Eggs

Close lnbreeding tends to decrease
hatchability of eggs. Continued
mating of brother and sister for a
few generations often results In
eggs that will not hatch at all.
Breeding cannot be overlooked II
good matches are to be obtained,
says Successful Farming.
For the person who desires to
produce good Matching eggs this
season either for a hatchery or for
home Matching the best chance for
Improvement Is through proper
methods of feeding and manage
ment. The hen must be we'll sup
piled with vltamins. vitamlns A,
B. d, Il. and G are all necessary In
the hens ration IL she is to lay eggs
that will hatch. vitamins B and
e are likely to be present In ample
quantities In nearly any ration. It
Is yitamins A, ID and G that are
most often lacking. This deficiency
Is responsible for poor matches.
While many farm hocks are not
given feeds that contain enough Of
these vitamlns to make good hatch
ing eggs. yet each of them can be
supplied without much trouble or
expense.
A good source of vitamin A Is
yellow corn. Alfalfa meal of good
green color, or other green hay
meals, as well as cabbage and SINH
lar green feeds, provides liberal
quantities Of vitamin A. Supplying
reasonable quantities of these feeds
will insure ample amounts of vita
min A In the eggs for Matching pur-
poses. There are many other feeds
which contain some vltamin A, but
among the common farm feeds these
are the most important and eco
nomical ones.

Need Addition to
Lime and Manure
Superphosphate Recon-
mended for the Improve
ment of Pastures.

BY l. r.. simons. Director OF Extension.
New York State College Of Agriculture.
WNu Service.
The extension service Of the College
Of Agriculture is working on a cam
paign for pasture Improvement, as
part OF an effort to get more pounds
Of milk to the acre. II says that the
present main activity of this campaign
Is to induce the use of superphosphate
With manure for top dressings for pas
lures. and for the growing of small
grains and silage.
The college points out that New
York soils and manure are low In
phosphorus, and for this reason, super
phosphate should be used to supple
ment lime and manure In order to get
better yields Of legune-hay and small
grain crops.
Because superphosphate doubles the
value of manure as a fertilizer, II
makes the supply go further. Recent
experiments have also proved that su.
perphosphate. alone or with manure.
VIII greatly improve permanent pas
lures.
The college makes these suggestions
FOR the use of superphosphate:
Buy bulk superphosphate. Use 1t In
the dairy barn this winter at the rate
of four or five pounds for each cow.
10 to so pounds for every load of ma
nure.
Apply the manur supplemented
with superphosphate at the rate of not
more than ten loads per acre on corn
land or for top dressing new seeding.
The county agricultural agent has
direct charge of the campaign. and Is
ready to give the latest information
about the best methods for buying and
handling superphosphate.

T
MAY KILL CHICKS


About half of the losses from fer
tile eggs that fall TO hatch during
incubation are due to abnormal po-
sitions of the chicks In the shell
and are to some extent preventable,
according to DR.. T. G. Byerly of the
bureau OF animal industry, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The normal position of the chick
before Matching Is with the head
near the air sac at the large end
of the egg. The chick breathes
the air In the sac before 1t pips the
shell, but In case of an abnormal
position the chicks may die from
s%uffocatlon.
The principal cause of abnormal
positions of chicks In the shell is
believed to be improper fitting of
the eggs In the tray from the fifth
to the fifteenth day OF incubation.
Eggs incubated with the small end
up show the highest percentage Of
abnormal positions of chicks, and
the department therefore recon-
mends that eggs should never be
allowed to stand In this position.
Eggs In many commercial incuba-
tors are tilted at a 45-degree angle,
with the large end up. which Is be-
lieved to give fewer abnormal po-
sitlons among the chicks than incu-
batting them horizontally.
Experiments indicate that losses
from abnormal positions of chicks
In the shell may be reduced, though
not entirely eliminated. An ineu-
bator tray was devised that main
talns a position between the hori-
zontal and 4~5-degree angle. The
eggs were turned mechanically
every Is minutes and rotated on
their long axis In an arc of 90 to
i20 degrees but were never rolled
over and over. Eggs In a similar
experiment that were turned always
In the same direction every Is min
utes showed a very heavy loss.
