LIV£ 5 b OOK =-===r _i.. BROOD sows demand SPECIAL ATTENTION i _ Those who are expecting fall litters ihuiilil pay special attention to the feeding of their brood sows. A sow tiuit is not properly fed during the' period of pregnancy cannot be expect ed to do her best at furrowing time; The ft ndency is to rely too much upon corn as an exclusive feed for the tews. There are no harmful proper tic.; in corn; it Is a good feed so far ,is its fattening qualities go, but it is not suitable for muscle and hone Pudding. It is not necessary to ex clude corn front the brood sow’s ra tions—not at itll; hut It is necessary to feed with it something that is com paratively rich In protein, such as tankage, oil meal or shorts, the former being preferable in most oases be cause cheaper—not cheaper per ton but cheaper per pound of protein content. A hog needs a certain amount of animal protein, and since it can nearly always he purchased cheaper in tank age than In any other form, why not use this product to a greater extent? A brood sow that is fed one pound of tankage with each peek of corn, while ou pasture, will produce healthy, vig orous pigs. A year ago Inst spring farrowing records were kept on 53 Kansas farms h> the 'experiment station of that state, from these records it was found that 263 sows that were fed corn properly balanced with tankage, skint milk, oil meal or alfalfa, far rowed 3,600 pigs, or an avenge of 10.1 pig* per litter. Those sows' also bad good surroundings and were well cored for. (if these pig’s 64 per cent were raised to weaning time. In other word- (1.5 pigs per litter were thrifty when old enough to wean. Another lot of 100 sows, on 11 farms, farrowed an average of 7.2 pigs ! per sow and raised 3.3 tugs per litter. These rows had received practically nothing but corn. The unbalanced ra tion decreased the size of the weaned litters by 4<t per cent. Such results arc not uncommon; on the contrary, they Invariably follow the feeding of corn alone to pregnant sows. A sow can no more produce muscle and hone out of corn, which Is deficient in the constituents out of which they must he produced, than can a mason make mortar out of sand and water. One I* as’ impossible ns the other. Feed a balanced ration to the brood 1 sows now while they are carrying j their litters and you will have a lot of strong pigs tills fall. Minerals Fed to Steers Found to Be Beneficial Minerals for steers were tried at .the Iowa station during the pusft "'In ter. A mixture of 50 pounds ground limestone, 50 pounds spent hone-black tnd one-third ounce of potassium Io dide was fed to the steers Ht the rate of one ounce per head per day. The j steers in this experiment got shelled i corn, corn silage, clover hay and oil j meal, with salt available at all time*. : The cattle which had minerals gained \ Slightly better, had a better appetite j and were a little better finished at i the end of the feeding period than other cattle which had the same ration j minus the minerals. Mineral feeding to steers is still In the experimental stage, but the results at tlie Iowa station indicate that It may be worth while. Where good clover or alfalfa hay is fed, we should expect that minerals have less effect than in a ration in. which the hay lias less mineral matter tlinn clover or alfalfa. Those who can easily secure the minerals can well afford to try the Iowa mixture with their .next load oi steei's. Profitable Practice to Feed Foals Fresh Grain Foals should not be allowed to fol low mares that are working on the farm, but should run together In a roomy, clean, well ventilated box stall or paddock. If n small pasture, sur rounded by a good fence-and contnin ,n*t slmde Is available, It makes a food ydace for foals. If fresh water is not available constantly, It should ^ supplied often. • The foals should be nursed morn ing noon and night and allowed to run with their darns during the night. In this way they go through the sum n,pr in good condition and cun be "I'nned without any setback. foals will learn to eat readily and 1 Is profitable to let them have no ces* io clean, fresh grain. Two parts crushed corn, two parts crushed oats 411,1 one part bran is a satisfactory mixture, if crushed grain is not avail a,|h\ shelled corn and shelled oats *«.v be used. Hogs Thrive on Milk ff I'lgs could choose their place of r'1)- I think they would he found ex 1 usnoly on farms whose operators *rir patrons of creameries,” says C'rge r>. Britts, Barron county, Wis consin. bncre is no feed more economical cod better suited for the rapid devel opment of pork than skim milk. As ok* come to weaning time, they also w''1 red dog or tow grade flour and '’tie oliineid, with shelled com as •fry feed. t'cv.s is no news unless you 11 rtPeat it to somebody. — F ANNING’S —FANNING’S— Friday And Saturday, December 5th and 6th, The Dollar Will “Come Into It’s Own” d2JL^.E,F,KS WE HAVE planned for this two days sale, our tables, counters and shelves are BRIM-FULL OF REMARKABLE MERCHANDISE VALUES FOR $1.00.
