The quality of the breeding stock on hand Is the same a. -may be expected in the pigs that go to market, says John Schwab. I'urdue Vniverstty bog man. flood active, purebred males, intermediate in type, masculine in appearance and ten mouths old or older are the most desirable. Select sows and gilts ot feminine appearance. with smooth heads and shoulders and deep bodies. Gilts should be targe tor their age and uot bred before they are ■ ight and one-half months old Breeding bogs should be In excellent health and medium in comfltton They should receive enough fe<-d to make them gain about one pound pet head daily. The gestation period for sows and gilts Is 112 to 114 days. Sows bred November X to 14 are due to farrow the first week of March. A good feed mixture for bred

I sows and gilts is made of one bushel shelled com. one bushel whole or ground oats, and five pounds tankage The oats may be replaced ’ < with an equal amount of wheat middlings or coarse-ground wheat A gallon of sktm milk per bead, morning and evening may be fed I in ptace of tankage Another highly recommended piotein supplement tor bred sows la a mixture of M pounds tankage. 40 pounds soybean oil meal and 10 pounds bright alfalfa meal. Seven to eight pounds of thia mixture should replace the tankage with the foregoing amounts of corn and oats.

RID HERD OF ALLIOAFERS Poor Cowr Brinx Down Herd Average And Cut Profit* Os Owner by U. A. Williams l Purdue Extension Dairyman, The efficiency of Ibe high pro- ■ during dairy cow when properly fad and managed is not gras tinned Ahe produces more human food 1 from I" pounds ot digestible nu ' tr tents than any other animal kept on the iartn But all raws krp« ft* milk purpears, are not high producers Ir I tact some are very low producers as a study of Indiana’s Dairy Herd Improvement Association records indicates. Twenty five asaocialtons were selected and a study made of the 10 high and 10 low raws In each association The high group averaged I0.M? pounds of milk and 314 pounds of butterfat. The average value of product for the year amounted to 1310 per per cow. Valuing feeds and pasture at market price each raw consumed |55 worth lot feed thus leaving the owners ' |IH over feed coot. Studies show that feed cost makes up half the total coot of milk production This indicates the 2SO cows included in the study netted their owner around 1100 each tor the year, e Now. let us look at the story told by the records ot the 10 low cows. Only cows on lest for 12 months : were considered They averaged 4.4(7 pounds ot milk and IMS pounds of butterfat during the year. The value of product sold amounted to only IM per cow. From this must be deducted a feed cost of S3P This leaves only 12 per animal compared with 1100. I'slng the same percentage for feed coat we 1 see these cows not only returned no profit but la< ked two dollars per ; cow of paying for overhead espens j ea such as labor, interest on Invest-, ment and the like Why the difference? Undoubtedly. part of it Hee with the cow her- , self for In some cases a high and a low animal lived in the same herd. In other herds, al! cows prove to be unprofitable. It dairymen could fully realise the greater eti-c-teocy of high producing cows they - would make a more determined e# ort to throw off the yoke off Man ’ clal bondage to which the boarder row has him securely bound The ,-coiiomy of high produc tion is demonstrated by a comparison of the two groups ut cows. From a production standpoint. I 10 of the high group yielded as much milk as 2i poor cows while they ate as much silage, hay. and grain and pasture as 14 of this no profit group. Differences in income over feed coats were even greater. The 10 profitable animals returned 11.550 which could have been obtained only from the feeding, milk Ing and owning of a herd numbering 3< animals similar to the low group. No one willingly accepts this added responsibility. Such la Ible. sponge with carbon tetrachloride, and launder If the fabric is washable. Handle Nylon hose carefully as •ilk hose. If two or more pairs ot hose of the same shade are purchased at the same time, odd stockings can be combined when one of a pair wears out.
