FATTENING HOGS

C. W. Burkett. the State Chemist.!
Writes Ar Interesting Article On
the Subject.
think the reader will agree
'"me that the well regulated
. iii. has at this season of the year
I some hogs that are in condition for
I fattening so as to make the win
der's meat. It is not a question
j just now with those of us who
I have hogs in the feeding lot what
| breed they are, or what type they
are. lam confident that if you
j will make a little test and observe
l the square set blocky ones you
l' will find that they will come to
j maturity a great ileal quicker and
! will weigh a good deal more, and
! consequently will bo more profit
able than the leggy ones or long
| nose, coai£, type. Of course, w.»
. are interested now in the fatter •
ing of i gs we have ;>-? wtyttexvr
I type thiy belong to. How' si i til 11
'we do i,? is a constantlv (rowing
'on. If y°u had • itie ryu

.ppings and leavings, furnish
g..- ..ing materials and lend meat
materials for the hogs. Now some
1 corn is given them when they go
1 in the feeding lot, and in connec
' tion with this swill barrel stutV is
utilized, a rapid gain will follow.
1 Those of us who do not have these
various kinds of milk products
will have to look to something else
to furnish the same. And I know
1 of nothing better than wheat
1 middlings to supply this. In
1 some of the Western States they
are using tankage (one of the by
-1 products of the slaughtering house
1 and the common material that goes
' in the fertilizer) as a profitable
' means of furnishing muele-mak
ing material, and quick growth in
1 the hog. It has been found that
' in feeding, say ten pounds of ma
' terial, eight pounds of corn and
' two pounds of tankage, make a far
' more satisfactory ration than ten
' munds of corn alone. Now for
our home supply we might not be
' interested in getting tankage, but
' we can get some middlings, and
' use these middlings with water so
1 as to make a slop out of them, or
' we can put the middlings in the
• swill barrel and mix them up with
' the scrapings from the table or
' kitchen; we can give some of this
' each day to the hogs, and ear or
' ground corn for the remaining
1 part of the ration.
' # # #
Previous to the fattening period
we believe in exercise for the pig
If he has a small pasture to forage
j ov-Jf, either of clover or cow peas
) or rye or bermuda, whatever it is,
he will respond quickly to such
! treatment, and fatten more readily
) when he goes into the feeding lot.
The last four or six weeks of feeding
) I think the hogs should be put iu
small pens where they can be
) quiet, and where they cannot have
too much exercise so as to use up
j all of the food they have eaten.
Now I think the feeding pen
i should be kept as clean as possi
ble. Ido not agreo with many
• people that the hog is a filthy
) animal. I think that he ought/to
have accommodations that are sim
j ilarly clean with the cow and the
horse. He ought to have a clean
j floor on which to eat his food, and
j he ought to have clean troughs
j that are not linlf full of mud and
rain water. And then a good
• sleeping nest is a practical annex
( to the feeding lot. Now Ido not
suggest these things simply from
j the standpoint of comfort or fancy,
but 1 look upon them as essential
j features in quick growth and early
maturity. I believe if such quar
ters arc provided the fattening
hogs will respond by giving you u
quarter or half pound more growth
each day.
# # #
And another thing about these
fattening hogs: I would not feet
them too long. As the hog grows
older and increases in size he in
creases in weight and at an increas
ed cost in food. The time that
the hog pays best for selling pur
poses or butchering purposes is
somewhere between one hundred
and eighty and two hundred and
tifty pounds, live weight. We
often read and hear about fatten
ing hogs until they weigh three or
four or live or eveu six hundred
pounds. That is not unusual at
all. The only thing is that the
man who feeds the hog to that
size has doubtless fed more corn
than the hog is worth. Such B
hog is worth twenty-five or thirty
dollars we *ill say. He has eaten
thirtvfollnrs worth of corn and
oil' products. There would be
p d deal more profit, in having
logs, each weighing two hun
and fifty pounds than one
eighing five hundred pounds,
would tnke less feed to bring
wo hogs to the total of five
d pounds, than it would to I
a single hog up to au
icnt weight. This big hog
eighs five hundred pounds
.id increase two or more pounds
.lay, and at six cents per pound
vould gain an increase of fifteen
or twenty cents per day. but you
should bear in mind that it is
likely to require tweaty-five or
thirty cents per day to feed him
to do that. Consequently I do
not believe in the big hog. It i:;
a losing proposition to make him
so, and then his meat is too fat. 1
lilfp the smaller hog with the
sweet, juicy, fleshy meat well mar
bled with fat and lean that weight
between one hundril and eighty
and two hundred pounds. That
is not only the most profitable hog
from the standpoint of the farmer
who feeds him. but it is the most
favorable hog for the market de
mand.
These few suggestions that are
made here show what a big field
the feeding of hogs opens up. I
am one of those who believes it
takes more skill to properly raise,
feed and fatten a hog than it re
quires to treat a cold, or plead a
case before a jury, or even to pre
pare a sermon for the pulpit. 1
really believe that the farmer's
business is one of those that re
quires all of the power and all of
the skill and culture that one can
acquire to make his business the
power and success it demands.

••Checkers."
A preparation known as''Check
ers," manufactured by the Check
ers Medicine Company, in other
words, the Casper Whiskey Com
pany, of Winston-Salem, is the
latest preparation of low grade
liquor sold as a medicine in some
sections. An analysis by the
State Chemist made from a bottle
purchased from a dealer in Moores
ville, Iredell county, shows that the
preparation contains 32.60 per
cent, alcohol. As whiskey contains
from 40 to 45 per cent, alcohol it
will be seen that "Checkers" con
tains as much alcohol as whiskey.

The Cost of Rural Delivery.
Postmaster General Wynne
v. rites iu the December Woiid's
Work: In 1897, when the rural
service was started 011 probation,
$40,000 was deeineil sufficient for
its trial. During the fiscal year
that, ended June 30. 1 ( .N)4. nearly
$13,000,000 was expended for rural
free delivery. For the fiscal year
upon which we have now entered
S2O,HIti,(XK) has been appropriated
for the continuance and extension
of the rural mail service. There
wore 24,500 rural routes in exis
tence at the end of the fiscal year
011 June iJOth. last. 0,440 new
routes having been put into opera
tion during the fiscal year. On
October 1, 1904, there were 27.11)5
routes established, and the service
was being extended aj, the rate
of about 800 routes a month.
Taking 450 people as the aver
age number served 011 each route
(a moderate estimate) the rural
service in operation October 1.
1904, was bringing the mails with
in easy reacli of the homes of
12,513,750 residents of rural dis
tricts.

TESTIFIES TO THE GOOD
QUALITIES OF CHAMBER
LAIN S COUGH REMEDY.
Ashbnrnliam, Out.. April 18,
1903. —I think it is only right that
1 should tell you what a wonder
ful effect Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has produced. The day
before Easter I was so distressed
with a cold and cough that I did
not think to be able to take any
duties the next day, as my voice
was almost, choked by the cough.
The same day I received an order
from you for a bottle of your
Cough Remedy. lat once pro
cured a sample bottle, and took
about three doses of the medicine.
To my great relief the cough and
cold had completely disappeared
and I was able to preach three
times on Easter day.. l;knotv that,
this rapid and effective cure was
due to your Cough Remedy. I
make this testimonial without so
licitation, being thankful to have
found such a God-sent remedy.
Respectfully yours,
E. A. LANGFIELD, M. A..
Rector of St. Luke's Church.
To Chamberlain Modicine Co.
This remedy is for sale by all
drugpists and dealers.
