Daily Rations for Draft
Horses, Mares and Colts
Experimental and demonstration
work by tin* University ul* Missouri
College of Agriculture shmvs:
That lira f I horses averaging in
weight approximately 1,000 pounds
and which did 4.8 hours a day aver
age I'ariu work, required an average
daily ration of 14.01 pounds of grain
and 17.11' pounds of timothy hay.
That brood mares may, he used effi
ciently for farm work, hut the yearly
feed required hy I hem is 20 per cent
greater than the cost of feed required
by gelding or "dry" mares doing the
same work.
That brood mares working and
nursing foals required 47 per cent
mo:*e grain and 32 per cent more hay
daily during the suckling period than
dry mares.
That foals during the suckling
period consumed an average daily ra
tion of 3.58 pounds of grain and 1.33
pounds of hay, in addition to their
mother's milk.
That draft colts consumed an aver
age daily ration of 6.08 pounds grain,
7.42 jMuinds hay daily from weaning
time until they were turned In pas
ture in the spring, a period of 219
days, during which time they gained
830 pounds and weighed at the close
of the period 830 pounds.
That it required 4.40 pounds of
grain and 4.83 pounds of hay to pro
duce one pound gain on draft colts
from weaning time until turned on
pasture the next spring.
That in using a grain ration com
posed of 2 parts corn, 2 parts oats,
1 part bran, it required 10.40 bushels
of corn, 18.30 bushels of oats and
292.9 pounds of braii to keep draft
colts in good growing condition from
weaning time until 4 hey were turned
on pasture.
That 15 pounds of corn silage, 8
pounds oat straw, fed with 8 pounds
grain is a satisfactory ration for
horses doing light work during the
winter months.
Sows Must Have Exercise
as Farrowing Time Nears
As farrowing time approaches the
sow should be in go;nl condition, but
not fat. If growthfproilucing feeds
have been used during pregnancy and
the ration kept bulky by using ground
oats, ground alfalfa or skim milk, the
so w should be in this shape. Watch her
carefully, making her exercise each
day. A few days before she is to far
row put her in a pen and let her be
come accustomed t<> her surroundings.
Include a little wheat briny or linseed
oil meal In her ration to prevent cost
iveness. which is common at this time.
The farrowing pen should be dry and
well ventilated. Spread straw on the
ground, but not enough to let her build
a deep nest. Pieces of 2 by 4 nailed
around the outside of the farrowing
pen about eight inches from the floor
and eight Inches from the wall will
tend to keep the sow from crushing her
pigs against the walls.
After farrowing, the sow should re
ceive no feed for from 24 to SO hours,
being glv^n only lukewarm water. She
should then be fed a small amount of
feed for a day or so, and the ration
can then be gradually increased* The
bulky feeds used during pregnancy are
not in order now. for the gains secured
on the suckling pigs will be the most
. efficient gains they will ever make.
Skim milk tankage, ground oats, mid
dlings and linseed meal are all good to
supply bone-and-muscle-making ma
terial, while corn or barley may be used
liberally In combination with any of
the above mentioned feeds.
Good mothers with large litters will
usually lose flesh, despite the most lib
eral feeding. ? T. .1. Maynard, Animal

Cowpeas With Corn Will
Cheapen Pork Production
Besides the Immediate benefits of
cowpeas with corn and cheapening
pork production, there is much saving
in labor of harvesting the crop, and
* the fertility of the soil is increased
through all of the waste matter being
fed directly back into it. The general
fertility and productiveness of the land
will be materially increased through a
deposit of an even coat of fertilizer
and humus matter.
Economical Production
of Pork Depends on Grass
Economical pork production depends
upon plenty of good pasture during the
summer months, both for the pigs and
the old sows, and also upon seeing to
it that not only the sows, but also the
pigs, are constantly supplied with a
well balanced ration.
Age to Wean Lambs.
, Lambs should be weaned when they
are about three or four months of age.
Unless this is done they will nurse
until late in the fall und cause the
ewes to go Into winter quarters in
poor flesh.
?
Milk for Pigs.
Six pounds of skim milk to two
pounds of corn-cob meal gives an
economical feeding ration for growing
pigs. A 100-pound shote will make
very satisfactory gains on two sucb
feeds a day.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
? Mary, the Mother of Jesu^.
I. Mary at Nazareth (Luke 1 :2G-38,
40-56).
Mary was a Jewish maid of the
town of Nazareth. The first Informa
tion we have of her is that she was
engaged to be married to Joseph, a
carpenter of the same village. It
1 seems that the custom among the
Jews was for betrothal to take place
a year before marriage. During this
interval the woman remained with her
parents.
1. Gabriel Sent from God to Mary
j (vv. 26-38). It was during this Interval
of betrothal before Joseph and Mary
| were married that God sent the angel
Gabriel to announce unto Mary that
she was to be the mother of Jesus.
I Isaiah, more than 700 years before,
prophesied that a virgin should give
! birth to a son whose name should be
called Immanuel (Isa. 7:14). Though
at first perplexed, she accepted the
annunciation with remarkable courage
' and devotion. To be told that she was
to be a mother was nothing startling,
| for this was the normal desire of
every married Jewish woman. Under
1 the circumstances she accepted moth
erhood at a tremendous cost. She was
' conscious of her virgin purity. She
knew that to become a mother under
such circumstances would expose her i
to unutterable suspicion and shame.
This was the view that certain Jews
! took of the matter, for they insinu- J
ated to Jesus that lie was born of
| fornication (John 8:41). Her faith
was such that she responded with
noble courage. She said, "Heboid the '
handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me
according to thy word" (Luke 1 :3S).
2. ller Wonderful Song (vv. 40-50).
In her embarrassment she set out on
a visit to an elderly kinswoman named i
Elizabeth. Having sought the sympa
thy and encouragement of this friend,
her triumphant faith carried her be
1 yond the misunderstanding, the scorn
! and shame which awaited her. and '
caused her soul to burst out in this j
most wonderful song of praise.
II. Mary at Bethlehem (Luke 2:1-20). j
What Gabriel announced to Mary I
was now being fulfilled. Caesar's de- i
cree concerning taxation brought Jos
eph and Mary to Hethiehetn at the
opportune ?ime for the fulfillment of
Micah 5:2. Because of the crowded
condition of t lie Inn. t he birth of the j
world's Saviour toi?k place in a cave- !

III. Mary in Jerusalem and Galilee
(Luke 2 :41-!VJ).
Jesus, now at the <\ge ot twelve,
was a child of t lie law, for at this age
the child took his responsibility as a
fvorshiper.
1. Failure in Vigilant Care (v. 43).
They had lef t the city and gone a
whole day's Joiwney without knowing
where the -child was.
2. Failure to Understand Fully
Jesus' Action and Words (v. f?0). No
particular censure should attach to
this, as it Is beyond our ability even
! now to understand all these tilings.
3. Failure to Properly Sympathize
with Jesus' I>etfl?est Longings and
Emotions. "How is it that ye sought
me? Wist ye not that I must be about
my Father's business?"
4. Failure to Perceive Her Limit of j
Masterfulness. The time comes when
! duty to (iod takes precedence over
duty to parents. All these limitations
should be viewed with the background
of her deep devotion to (iod. Her
! whole life was lived in a spiritual at
mosphere. She was just tl?e kind of
woman to whom (iod would trust the
i upbringing of His Son. Jesus went
back with them to Nazareth and was
i subject nut <> them.
I IV. Mary at the Cross (John ;
i 27).
This was a great trial. For any ;
: mother to see her son die Is h trial, i
I but what must it have been for this
? mother in the face of all the sacred
' memories that clung to her sou! 7 It
is beautiful to note the tendei care
which Jesus in His dying hour mani
fested for His mother lit committed
? her to ti?e care of John John ac
I cepted the responsibility of a son and
| *.ook her to his home.
