Tl Rough, Cheap Feed In sheepandIiogs EASY TOMANAGE Really Require Little Capital, Equipment, or Labor?Consume Much Waste. SHEEP NEED LITTLE GRAIN With Right Kind of Hay They Can Be Carried Through the Winter Without Any?Results From Experiments. Bheep cnn be successfully wintered *wtth a smaller use of grain than Is taeederi for other live stock. If In good 'Condition nt the beginning of winter and given the right kind of hay they can be carried through the winter without grain unless the lambs are to be dropped before going to pasture. ^ All denends unon the kind of hnv or other roughage used. J Legume hays stand at the forefront j ns a roughage for sheep. No other np- v proach them In feeding values. The ^ coarse-stemmed hays like timothy, red j top and blue grass, have very few g .leaves, and therefore are poor sheep leeds. Ilays having a targe amount of timothy In them also are undesirable. t Not only Is timothy unpalatable to the sheep, but It cuuses serious cases of constipation. ' The dry timothy heads "works Into the wool, causing Irritation ^ to the skin, lessening the value of the clip and making shearing difficult. R When timothy or other coarse-stemmed hay is fed to sheep in winter quarters It becomes necessary to use some supplementary feed to keep the sheep In condition. If any non-legume hay Is fed, supplementary protein feed is needed. Linseed meal is good, since in addition to furnishing protein it counteracts the constipating effect of timothy hay. From one-quarter to one-half pound of linseed meal per ewe dally Should he used, depending upon the i size and condition of the animal and 1 the other feed used. In an experiment conducted at the Missouri station the relative values of 1 clover and timothy hays for wintering ewes were determined. Fifteen ewes j " fed 2.0 pounds timothy hay and 0.55 :l pound grain per head daily lost 7.0 1 pounds each during the same time that '' another lot receiving the same weight of grain and clover hay gained 0.5 i pounds. The fourteen ewes fed clover hay dropped 10 strong lamhs, while those fed timothy dropped 11 strong and five weak lambs. The lambs from ^ .. . , r mi? f\vw iiMi ciover nuy ^ziinuu muri? 4 rapidly during the llrst 30 days than * did those from the ewes fed timothy 8 hay. a There Is no section of the country j ^ which can produce cattle more chenply than the South, for the lands nre ^ still cheap, the grazing Is good, the pasture season Is long, feed can be produced at a minimum cost, and In- > expensive shelter only Is required for ( the animals during the winter months, c The dual-purpose cattle are popular I with the small farmer who keeps but a * Jew cattle and must depend on them 1 to produce all the milk and butter e needed for the family and, at the same * tlmo, raise calves or steers which will sell readily for slaughtering purposes.

Whether In the corn belt, the dairy ( .sections, the South, or the Irrigated j regions of the West, conditions for the Erofltable raising of hogs are almost ire to he present, according to animal husbandmen of the United States department of agriculture. It Is, In fact, 1 almost safe to say that whatever the i oil or climatic conditions, there Is not ;b farm In the country on which there ?hould not be hogs. This Is especially Itrue at present when producers may obtain high prices for hogs. Matters Ithnt should he taken into consideration In hog raising, and methods that have 'been found profitable are outlined in ! AND MILK SUPPLY L Department of A*ricu!tur?.) I FOR AVERAGE FARM PHByiz?y,.^Q|wW9B ley Let Little Go to Waste, Turning to Meat and WooL ''armors' Hullo tin, "Swine ManapencnL" recently Issued by the United ttntcs department of agriculture. Breeding stock does not thrive so veil and is not so prolific on an ex:1 naive corn diet as on a varied ration orago, at the same time, is becoming nore and more important In hog rnlsng. These facta are giving to the louth an increasing Importance as a >og producing section. In this redon peanuts, cowpeas, soy beans, and civet beans may be had in abundance or hog feeding. The recognition of the fact that an occlusive corn diet Is not necessary in aising hogs is also emphasizing the leslrabllity of Increased hog raising in lntry districts, where skim milk and mttermilk are available; in tracking lections, where unmarketable products nuy be fed; and in irrigated regions, vhere alfalfa may be used for forage. The bulletin points out that persons aking up hog raising for th e first line will find it advantageous to locate n a hog ruising community where hey may profit by contact with hog alscrR of experience. It Is also jointed out that If hog raisers of a ommunity can bring about the proluctlon In their district of n certain grade or breed of hog by all producers, narketing difficulties will be greatly essened. The marketing of hogs at veights ranging from 200 to 300 jounds usually will bring the greatest Jroflt, according to the department ipecin lists. Sllnge Is the best roughage for fa*uning any class of cattle. More care Is necessary in fattening ralves than in feeding grown cattle, int. whenever nmurihle 1* la haat to alse and finish beef cattle oo tb? ame farm. 6ave th? 8owt. 8elllng a brood sow at this time, ?* 1 :ordlng to the United States departnent of agriculture, is like killing the :oose that laid the golden eggs. When pork is selling at 18 conts or nore a pound on the hoof, the hog >reeder may he tempted to turn into ash all that he can sell; yet the deal rtment points out that the vulue of l brood sow which will produce such >lgh-priced offspring is proportionately nereased and she should he kept as he sonrce of further and future profts. Breeding stocks are helng depleted, nd the department snys that the situtlon Is already critical and threatens o become very serious if the country ; ontinues to he drained of its meats. logs furnish meat more quickly and ! wj henply than other stock can; the neat shortage, therefore, can most eadlly he met hy swine production, t has heen calculated that the possl?le increase from one sow is 1,002 iles in four veers, on the sunnosltlon hat all litters consist of six pigs, that ill live, that hnlf are females, and that ach gilt should farrow at one yeat i ind every six months thereafter. Another cause of the depletion of ?reedlng stocks is probably In the high rost of feeds. While concentrated 'eeds have gone up, the department lays that some of the expense of car- j ylng breeding stocks may be cnt lown by the use of green fall forage Tops, pasture, alfalfa or clover hay. Urood sows may be maintained In fair rondltlon at comparatively little ex- 1 >ense by the use of such feeds. In ?r1cf, the department strongly recomnends a campaign to save the sows is one means of helping to meet the hreatened meat shortage.
