ing of grain saves old corn, but
there is no considerable difference
in the total grain requirement by
these methods. The reason at which
hogs car be marketed to best ad-
vantage and availability of concen
trates r the most important con-
sideration in the choice of methods.
With either, green feed should be
supplied as well as protein supple
ment such as cotton seed meal and
tankage, unless hogs are on ~soybeans
or peanuts, and mineral mixture as
l part salt to a parts oystershell
flour. Null feed for hogs is S to 8
pounds of concentrate daily for
each 100 pounds liveweight. Young
pigs require 5 pounds of 100 pounds
liveweight, while larger hogs re-
quire 4 pounds or less for each 100
pounds liveweight, daily. By limited
feeding is meant about 2h pounds
of grain daily for each 100 pounds
liveweight- The ratio Of corn-hog
values favors feeding hogs when 100
pounds of live hog will buy II or
more bushels Of corn.

Allow all silage cattle will consume
at all times and l to 2 pounds daily
of cottonseed meal or other high

ing may be necessary if the herd
goes into the winter thin. Usually,
feeding is necessary for about 100
days. One of the most costly mis-
takes a stockman can make is to
let cattle become weak before start
ing to feed. The size and vigor of
the calf crop, an important measure
of herd profit, reflects directly win
ter management of the herd. Steers
receiving all the silage and hay they
will eat require little supplemental

Once In a while you hear what Is
supposed TO be a descriptive phrase
Of an inexperienced cook. "She
doesn't even know how to boil
potato" This does seem to be a
very simple process and yet, sur
prising as 1t may seem, results from
boiling are not all equally good.
Perhaps it Is the after treatment
that Is important rather than the
boiling. After they are tender po-
tatoes should be drained imme-
diately and shaken over a low fire
80 that they will be dry and mealy.
If they are not to be used at once
they may be covered with a towel
IN order that steam may be abb
sorbed. Baked potatoes often need
