Copyright, 1009. by American Press Assoclatlpn. T 1E feed of the brood sows through the winter should be bucIi us will keep them thrifty and vigorous without becom ing fat. So much has been said against corn as a food for brood sows that many feeders omit It entirely, substi tuting more expensive feeds. This is unnecessary. Corn la one of the best feeds that can be obtained for the bnsis of the ration. It fs rich In heat and energy producing materials, fur nishing these at less cost than they can bo obtained in any other food- 'fs v wgm ' YfcLW liiVyry 710. XXVI. GOOD TYPE OF DKItKSHlHE. stuff. The mistake in feeding corn comes in feeding it exclusively. Some foodstuff rich in protein should bo fed with it, as this element is needed in considerable quantities in tho pro duction of young. Feeding the Brood Sow. Some succulent and loosening feed should also be given to keep tho bowels in order when the sows aro not on grass. There is no feed that will take the place of grass for brood sows, but it is ol course impossible to obtain this In whiter. A little silage may be fed. although it should not be given in largo amounts. Pumpkins, squashes and roots of all klrds are excellent. It !&-a good plan to have a cellar under, Tiart of the bog bouse In which such feed can be stored. It the true value. of this vegetable adjunct were under stood properly it would be seen at once how Important it is to provide a way to keep u Btore of these aids to diges tion for winter use. Hogs have small stomachs and are more adapted to grain than to rough age, yet the mistake of giving the feed in too concentrated a form should not be made. A little bran will dilute the heavier feeds. Cut clover or alfalfa hay may be used for the same pur pose. A hayrack built at one side of the pen and kept filled with good clover hay is a good thing. The sows will cat targe amounts of it and relish it. The feed of brood sows should be given dry or slightly moistened, nevpr In the form of 11 slop. Pigs from slop fed sows ure overlnrgp. are born with difficulty and are weak aud flabby. Where plenty of sklmmllk can be hud it makes uu excellent addition to the ration. It is more especially a feed for young pigs than for brood sows, how ever. The followlug are a few rations for brood sows that have given good uccess: Corn, one-third; oats, one-third: bran, one-third. Corn, nine-tenths; tankage, one-tenth. CorUT one-half: clover or alfalfa, one half. If the clover or" alfalfa is cut before feeding and soaked from one feed to the next It eau be mixed with the grain part of the ration and ul given to gether. These feeds should be given at the rate of uiie-hulf to three-quarters of a pound per hundred pounds of live weight, according to the condition of the sows. If some of the sows tend to get too fat. while the others ure only In good condition. It will n to put them In lien where tln mi he fed separately. Pumpkins jiihI font" make a valuable addition to iiu f these r.i tlons. As farrowing time approaches a little oil meal, about five pounds to 100 pounds of the other feed, may be add ed to the ration to advantage. Plenty of fresh water is essential for the brood sows and the other hogs ns well at nil seasous of the year. If the farm is equipped with a water system. so that water can be piped directly to the hog house, it will be a great con venience. In the summer barrels or small tanks with automatic wntcrers attached furnish a constant supply of clean water. Care at Farrowing Time. A few days before the sow Is due to farrow she should bo given n pen by herself, so that she may become ne rustomed to it nnd feel at home when farrowing time comes. Bed the pen with good clean straw, but do not use Ion much of It. as the ligs will be more likely to get tangled up nnd lain on. If the sow is inclined to be rest less fenders about eight Inches high around the pen help to prevent her from lying on the pigs. The feed should be gradually reduced until the last day before farrowing, when the - -: vBHldssHinBiwisll eow should be given nothing but w brau mash with a little ollmeal added This will cool her system nnd reduce the IlkclllKod of her eating or killing her pigs. With old rows little attention will bo needed at farrowing time, though It always pays to lie on hand to see that everything Is going well. If the weath er Is cold the pigs Hlmuld he dried mid warmed ns soon as hnrn. A good wny to do this Is to hnve 11 basketful of straw, with n Jug of hot water In the middle. If the plgM are put mi the straw nnd the basket covered with 11 suck they will soon lie wnriu. lively and ready for their tlrst menl If the sow Is in an Individual lniip, hanging a lantern in the peak will help to keep up the temperature. In extremely cold weather pens Inside a large hog house should be covered with hoards or blan kets. The house should he provided with n stove If many early pigs are expected. Do not mnke the mistake of feeding the sow right away after farrowing. For the first day or two she Is better off without anything but water. At tho end of this time u few dry outs may be given. The feed should be in creased gradually, using the same ra tion ns was given before farrowing. The npppnrance of the pigs will be the best guide as to the feed that should bo given the sow. If they begin to scour give the sow u tablespoonful of blood meal with her uext feed or half a dozen eggs, if the pigs are consti pated add 11 little ollmeal to the sow's ration or give her. more sloppy food. The pigs should be given considera ble exercise or they are liable to get too fat. get the thumps and die. There should bo n place where they cau get outdoors every pleasant day. Sun shine is as essential to a little pig as It is to u corn plant. Feeding tho Pigs. The cost of gains on pigs is SO per cent lower while they nre nursing than It is afterward. As soon as they are well started they should be pushed as rapidly as possible. The sow should be given all the feed she can use. Sloppy feed increases the milk flow and should be given in liberal amounts. The same may be said of sklmmllk. The following rations will serve ns a guide for feeding sows at this time: Corn, one-sixth; sklmmllk. flve-slxths. Corn, onp-thlrd; oats, one-third; mid dlings, one-third. Corn, eight-ninths; tankage, one ninth. Corn, flve-elghths; oats, one-quarter, gluten feed, one-eighth. It will not be long until the pigs are able to cat a little for themselves. They should be encouraged by giving them feed in a pen by themselves, where the older hogs cannot get to it. In a few days the pigs will get to eat ing regularly. For the first three months It will pny to feed them three times a day. A pig's stomach is small, anil It cannot eat'enougti'ln the morn ing to last until night. Pasture nnd forage crops arc essen tial for cheap and rapid gains In young pigs. They are also much healthier than when kept In a small pen with no green feed. At the Wis consin experiment station It wns found that from 500 to 1.000 pounds of pork could be produced from an ncre of rape. Tests nt the Iowa experiment station show that uearly 3K) pounds of pork can be produced from an acre of timothy. In both these experiments grain wns fed in addition, but the gains given nre those produced by the green feed alone. The best results are obtained when grain Is fed on pnsture. The amount to feed will depend largely upon tbp relative prices of grnln and pork. A light ration of grain produces cheaper gains, as the pigs will cut more grass, The gnlns produced In this way are not so rapid as where more grain Is fed. When grnln Is not too high and pork a good price it pays to feed 11 Jp',-,WWVwrt MOW" 1 'S r;j', r.W.sS vWSS K10. XXVII.-A TMtlFTT LITTER. rculv liberal ration of grain and get i'u pigs on the market us souu ns pos sible. Alfalfa or clover makes Ihe best pnsture. Rape nnd peas are good for temporary pastures. For a permanent pasture blue grass nnd white clover ure very good. A mixture of clover and rape sown with oats In the spring makes the best kind of fall pasture when the other pastures are liable to be scanty picking. When com Is not worth over 30 cents a bushel the cheapest gains will be made by feeding corn alone or In connection with sklmmllk, provided that plenty of green food Is given. As the price of corn advances the use of supplementary feeds high In protein becomes more profitable. With corn at 50 cents n bushel the use of one part of meat meal or tankage to nine parts of corn will reduce the cost of gains nearly a dollar a hundred pounds. The difference Is even more marked when eorn Is fed In a dry lot. There Is .usually little to be gained In grinding corn for hogs, but It will be an advantage to shell It and soak It from one feed to the next. Experl ments show that this reduces the cost of gains by about 8 per cent. pppappppjp jUU -,'i vtW1 Hemingford Happenings. Ed Wlldv went to Alliance Friday on 44- D. W.
