Dry Afternoons
Best Time For
Butchering Hogs
Temperature Should Range
From Around 28 to
40 Degrees

COLLEGE STATION, R A
LEIGH, Dec. 1.-The ideal time
for butchering hogs is on a dry
afternoon when the temperature
is around % to 40 degrees fab
renheit.
On colde rdays, said r. +.
Nance, professor Of animal hus-
bandry at State college, the job
is too disagreeable and there is
danger of the meat freezing.
Give the hogs plenty of fresh
water to drink, but keep them OFT
feed for "a hours before slaugh-
tering, he said. Water for scald-
ing the animals, after they have
been killed, should have tenn
perature Of $50 degrees.
Where thermometers are not
available, he continued, the tenn
perature may be tested by dipping
a finger quickly into the water.
If it burns badly the first time,
it is too hot. II ones finger can
be dipped in and out more than
three times in rapid succession,
the water is too cold.
A vat is the most satisfactory
vessel in which to scald tn ehogs
though a barrel may be used
where only one or two hogs OF
medium size are to be dressed.
The porkers can best be clean
ed, and scraped, after scalding, by
placing them on a table OF plat
form three OF four feed wide and
.12 to. Is inches high,
When the animals have been
scraped, Nance continued, they
should be. split down the center
Of their backbones, with the leaf
fat being loosened from the low
er end Of the ribs. S, .'.
Then hang the half carcasses
in the smoke house to chill over

possible. Trim each piece closely

peraturc of about 9S degrees.
The amount Of milk that should
be fed the first week will vary
from six TO 10 pounds daily de-
pending upon the size and vlgor
of the calf. A safe rule to follow
is to feed one pound of milk for
each 10 pounds overweight of the
calf. The daily allowance can be
increased one to two pounds the
second week if the calf's appetite
is good and no signs of indigestion
are apparent.
THE SKIMMILK PERIOD
If the calf is doing well at the
end of the second week the whole
milk can be gradually replaced
with skimmilk. This change should
be made slowly at the rate OF
about one pound per day requiring
from eight to 10 days to make 1T
complete. The daily allowance OF
skimmilk can be gradually increas-
ed until the calf is receiving from
Is to Is pounds when it is SIX
months of age. At this age. SKIM
milk may be taken out of the ra-
ton. however, on farms where II
is plentiful it can be fed to adj
vantage UP to eight months OF age
GRAIN AND ROUGHAGE
When the substitution OF SKIM
milk for whole milk begins, tht
calf should be offered small
amounts of both grain and hay
At first only a small quantity OF
each should be supplied. Ihi'
quantity can be gradually increas
ed as the calf grows older until a
six months of age it is receiving
daily from two to three pounds o.
grain and all the hay that it vii

can be made from the following
80 pounds cracked yellow corn, &c
pounds crushed oats, 30 pound:
wheat bran, 10 pounds linseed OF
meal or soybean meal.
On account of the laxative ma
ture of legume hay it is best t
feed a well cured grass hay unit
the calf is three to four months o.
age. After that good leafy, wei
cured legume hay is preferable
because of its higher mineral con

be made gradually so as not t,

PASTURE CUTS COST
OF PIG PRODUCTION

Just how valuable Is pasture
for pigs?. -.
In 90 different tests with about
I,2O0 pigs in Ohio, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, Iowa, and South
Dakota the total of concentrated
feed eaten by pigs on pasture av-
eraged about'l3 per cent less for
every 100 pounds of gain than
for the pigs in dry lots.
The pigs were put on test at an
average weight of 80 pounds.
About one-half of them were al
lowed pasture. The tests showed
that pasture took the place of
about one out Of every eight
pounds of concentrated feed
needed whSn pasture was not fur
niShed. Pigs on pasture gained
about d quarter of pound more
per day than those in a dry lot.
There was less opportunity for
them to pick up parasites. Aside
from other things, the pasture
furnished vitaminS, minerals, and
exercise-al necessary for speedy
pork production.
Pigs should not be stinted with
too little pasture. The exact num-
Der Of pigs that can be carried
per acre depends on the pasture.
Pigs like and make good gains on
alfalfa, lespedeza, rape. clover,
sudan grass, green soybeans, and
cowpess, Bermuda bluegrass, and
rye when. properly supplemented
with concentrated feeds. They
make the best gains, however, on
young, tender. succulent, greer
xrowth. The value Of pig pastures
lessen as the growth becomes
woody. New growth following
hay crop or clipping is good feed
Two or more pastures give a,
opportunity to shift the pigs whei
pastures go down in feed value
Many farmers use 4 number o
small pastures.

Bv JOHN A. AREY
Dairy Extension Specialist, North
Carolina State College

According to the federal depart
ment OF agriculture there were
$50. 900 cows in North Carolina in
June, 1886. The average milking
period of a COW in commercial
herd is about five years. On this
basis, il will be necessary for
North Carolina dairymen and
farmers TO raise approximately
$1,000 heifers annually TO even
maintain the present COW popuia-
ton of this state, and the number
is even now too small to supply an
adequate quantity of dairy prod
uctS for home consumption.
In the past, many of The fluid
mild producers have depended up
on purchasing COWS to replace the
discarded ones rather than TO raise
them. This method of replenish-
inga herd is often responsible for
heavy losses caused by bringing
into the herd communicable dis
eases through the new COWS. II
rarely ever results in increasing
the herd production. Since the
ability for milk production is in
herited. the wise dairyman will
use good bull, keep production
records on his cows and raise the
heifer calves from his best COWS,
He will see IN each heifer the pos
Sibility of a COW which will not
only replace a discarded one, but
which will be capable of raising

duction.

few if any others in the variety
of its soil types, climatic condl,,

These great varieties in physl-

state agriculture faces many haz-
ards and has many different OPP
portunities for land use.
Past usage has depleted much
of the land of it's natural cover

How can depleted lands be re-

lands be used to advantage while
conserving them for future gen

swine LEAST
OF ALL STOCK
PROPERLY FED
Corn or Shorts And Slop
Only Do Not Supply
Needed Elements
BY D. w. BENNETT
Asxi.tant Courty Agent

OF al the classes of livestock
on the farm, there arc none so
improperly fed as swine. Farmers
in general think that corn or
shorts alone is sufficient for hogs;
bnt they arc badly mistaken IN
this idea. Since hogs are usually
confined 20 a very small area,
they do not have access To pas
ture which would naturally help
10 balance the ration. Corn and
ordinary kitchen Slop alone do not
have the proper kind of protelns.
IL is true that corn has about sew
en- per cent protein, but TINS Is
not composed of the proper kinds
of Amino acids. Neither does corn
alone have the proper amount OF
mineral matter. Many brood sows
and pigs with broken-down backs
are caused by not getting enough
calcium, phosphorus and salt. -.
The most economical method OF
feeding hogs is by use of the self
feeder. This is built with two COM
partments. SHIELDED corn is placed
in one compartment while tank
age, hnseed oil meal, and cotton
seed meal are placed in the 9TH
or. A small trough may be made
at the end for a mineral mixture;
Good results may be obtained
by feeding corn and tankage, put
better results may be obtained II
the hogs have access to red clover
or rape pasture. If pasture is not
available. corn with two parts
tankage or fish meal, one part
Iinseed oil meal, and one part cot
ton seed meal makes an eNceilent
feed. When fish meal Is fed IN the
place of tankagc, II should Dc
cut out about six weeks 0etorS
killing time, or else the pork VIII
have a fishy taste.
When tankage or fish meal is
fed. a mineral mixture Is not nee
essary. but for those desiring to
pive a mineral mixture, the FOL,
lowing is one of the best: Equal
parts of ground limestone, Eoeh
phosphate and salt. II IS just as
important that swine receive salt
as it is for cattle.
Two advantages OF the sell
feeder are: First, il is economical
by cutting down labor cost: sec
ond, IL allows the how to balance
his own ration when the proper
feeds are placed before him.
Plans for building the sclf-feeder
may be obtained at the county
agents office

time they are one year of age they
will be as large and as satisfactory
in appearance.
FEEDING OLDER CALVES
For heifers from six months TO
freshening age a grain mixture
composed of 80 ponds Of yellow
corn meal. 80 pounds crushed oats,
30 pounds wheat bran and ~
pounds cotton seed meal or soy,
bean meal is suitable provided
pasture or a good quality legumee
hav is fed with it. The amount OF
grain needed during this period
depends upon the kind and amount
Of roughage which the heifer re-,
ceives. When grazing on a good
pasture during the summer or
when fed literally on good quail
ity legume hay during the winter
little or no grain will be needed to
keep her in a thrifty growing con-
dition. However, should tn epas..
ture get thin OF the supply OF
good roughage be short it will be
advisable and profitable to feed
sufficient grain to keep the heitcr
growing and in good condition.
WATER AND SALT :.
Calves should be ample suppllea
with fresh water. Drinking cups
in the calf pen offer the best So
luton of this problem, however
when drinking cups are not avail
able water of a medium tempera'
ture should be offered each animal
after the grain is eaten. Salt car
be placed i'm a box in the stall sc
the calf can get it when desired
|, Cleanliness is absolutely neces
sary in growing good calves. Thu
applies alike to feed, buckets
| stalls and bedding. Only fresi
clean milk and high quality grair
and hay should be washed ant
sterlized with boiling water OF
steam after each feeding. Thu
bedding should bc replaced Otter
enough to keep the stalls clear
and dry. Attention to these dc
tails will prevent many cases o,
scours which results in stuntet
