Discomfort ire Stanchions
Stock to do their best need to bo
comfortable as well as warm Tho
two do not always go- together al
though they ought tot Stock may bo
J warmly sheltered and still be uncom
fortable If they arer they will not
thrive as every good farmer knows
Extra feed may make up- for lacit of
shelter and keep the animals warm
the only loss being to the- farmer who
furnishes three dollars worth of corn
meal to do what one dollars- worth of
battens would have hut no
amount of extra feed win1 make up di
rectly for loss of comfort Animals
will in time get used- to- almost any
treatment I knowr but wouldnt it
be- better and more profitable to make
them- comfortable from the first
There is very little- money ln the
of stock at tfie best and can
we- afford to have- cows give- less milk
or steers take on less flesh than- they
ought to simply becaase they are not
comfortable
Some- years agu r wintered1 a score
of steers coming three years old They
had evidently never been in- stan
chions but had always run loose I
used stanchions la my barn and with
a great deal of troublb and coaxing
we got these wild fellows all fastened
in Then V gave theas the best of
feed in- abundance btrU they were- so
uncomfortable that they did not d it
justice By being very quiet ami pa
tient with them we- god them broken
so they would go into the stanchions
without much trouble after a while
bat they did not get thoroughly used
to them so as toi be- perfectly eom
fortable in all winter They were
very much more comfortable along
toward spring than when first put in
but nod thoroughly so E never
worked harder over at lot of cattle and
neven succeeded so poorly They
were not comfortable and no amount
of warm shelter and good care and
feed would make up for it I am
perfectSy satisfied that could they
have been tied up they would have
beeni easy almost from the first start
and that the result would nave been
far more satisfactory- T Bv Terry
Feeding Alfalfa to Stack
Alfalfa should not be pastured until
it has matured a goodly hardy crown
and root system to enable it to with
stand the trampling of stock says a
bulletin of the Texas station At
least two years should be allowed the
crop for this purpose and even more
would be conducive to a hardy crop
If green feed is desired the alfalfa
can be cut and fed as a soiling crop
during this time Spring pasturing of
alfalfa is responsible for the disap
pearance of many good stands At
this time of year the plant is just re
covering from the effects of low tem
perature and needs all of its energies
It cut during early spring the sickle
bar should be set higher than usual
Do not turn a hungry or thirsty ani
mal into an alfalfa field By observing
this rule and further accustoming
them to it by gradually increasing
their time of feeding little or no in
jurious effect will accompany the pas
turing of horses and hogs Cattle are
more liable to bloat and even with
the best of care and attention fatal
cases will occur Soiling cattle is the
safest method of feeding them alfalfa
The Kansas station estimated the
value of green alfalfa fed for seventy
four days to dairy cattle at 2526
per acre Profitable results have been
secured by feeding alfalfa to steers
care being exercised to prevent scour
ing by gradually increasing the
amount to the maximum quantity
Pigs thrive on alfalfa pasture twelve
to fifteen head of pigs may be turned
on an acre of alfalfa with the best re
sults In combination with a finishing
ration of grain it is most effective
Experiments in feedng alfalfa to
horses indicate that the cost of main
tenance is reduced
Testing the Self Feeder
At the Illinois Experiment Station
Professor Mumford has been testing
the value of a self feeder as against
hand feeding of steers as to effect on
the steers Ten steers were fed by
hand and ten by a self feeder After
keeping the animals on full feed for
98 days they were last week sold at
the Chicago stockyards bringing 540
per 100 weight About a year ago
they were bought for 485 per 100
weight The resuts ot the test are as
follows
Self fed Hand fed
lbs lbs
Total gain 251000 228000
Average gain 25100 22800
Av daily gain 25C1 232G
Grain eaten per
steer 219430 194600
Grain eaten daily
per steer 2200 19G0
It will be seen that the self feeder
cattle gained each 235 more per day
than the hand fed steers but used 24
pounds more grain in doing it At
540 per 100 weight this added gain
brought in the market 1269 cents and
cost the value ot 24 pounds of grain
At 50 cents per 100 weight this grain
would be worth 12 cents or about
the same as the value of the grain
So far as the effects on the cattle are
concerned it would appear that self
feeding and hand feeding are about
equal It is impossible to feed any
two bunches of steers and have the
results exactly the same even if both
bunches be fed the same way Inci
dental variation must always be
counted on and unless there is quite
a wide difference In the results the
experiment must be regarded as non
conclusive This appears to be the
case in the experiment reported

Best Market for Ducks
The Ontario Experiment Station ha3
been making some experiments in the
feeding and marketing of ducks In
a report W R Graham manager of
the poultry department says The
ducks were fed on a mixture of equal
parts of bran corn meal and ground
oats moistened with skim milk About
twice a week grit was added to the
feed in the proportion of about one
half pint to a peck of grain This is
necessary to secure good digestion
of food Water was given for drink
ing purposes only as ducks grow
much faster when not allowed to
swim in water The Pekin variety
proved to be the best market duck
They mature earlier
than other va
rieties and having a creamy white
plumage they present a nice appear
ance when dressed The Cayuga was
on the average one half pound less in
weight after nine weeks feeding
They are also inferior to the Pekins
when dressed being somewhat dark
in appearance owing to Laving a
black plumage Their flesh however
is said to be of superior quality hav
ing a better flavor than that of the
other breeds The Rouen ducks were
large when matured but grew rather
slowly not weighing over eight and
one half pounds to the pair when nine
weeks old Their colored plumage Is
also a disadvantage when they are
dressed A cross between the Pekin
and the Rouen was tried but proved
to be but little superior in growth to
the Rouen It however dressed bet
ter in appearance owing to the large
proportion of white in the plumage
The Pekin drake was mated with
high grade Rouen ducks The dealer
in Toronto pronounced the Pekin the
most desirable market duck
