SCIENTIFIC FEEDING OF HOGS MEANS CHEAPER HEAT SANBORN

BY WILIAM R. SANBORN Every farmer has a number of factories and power plants to keep running, and the better and more scientifically he manages them the greater the economy and the larger and more profitable his output. The farmer's most Important power plant Is the gift of nature. But it Is by no means a free gift, nor is it ever-durable. We call this power plant a "horse" but it is, nevertheless, a motor and is bred and kept for "power;otherwlse the farm horse is forever doomed. Now a motor, in order to run, must bo supplied with the kind of fuel it

was built to operate with Just that

ductlon; just as the farmer does. There are those who contend that fall pigs are not profitable, and the writer has met a few of these here in Wayne county. It Is likely that most of these men have changed

their views since the $17 to $20 price has been in effect, but prior to that

time there were many in all parts of the country bred only for spring farrowing. There were many such in Kansas, for- instance, and during the

past winter a ninety day experiment was made at the Kansas State Agricultural college at Manhattan for this purpose: "To determine whether fall

pigs are profitable, and what feeds

best enable the mto make good gains

kind and no other, for best results. in severe weather, at a reasonable

More than this it must be supplied this fuel in sufficient quantity, and

this is also true as to the horse with reference to the food furnished and -the care given to his upkeep. The horse is a power plant which Is expressive of intelligence and often also of affection and loyalty. The horse is entitled to proper care, generous feeding and kindly treatment. He is neither to be abused, overloaded or overworked, for the "Merciful man is merciful to bis beast," and this broadly applies to every animal on the farm as to proper feeding, shade protection and winter shelter. About Our Farm Factories. The farm factories are not run on

an eight-hour basis; they never close down. Among the most important of these is our friend, the hog. Some day, somewhere, another James Whitcomb Riley will write a poem dedicated to the hog. and those who can't sing will at least whistle it, when set to music. Mayhap they will dramatize the hog for the movies and have Jazz bands and big drums to pound out his praises. But in any event the hog is a factory from which is turned out chops, pork roasts,, hams, bacon and lard as the

principal products, with sausage, head cheese, pickled pigs feet, chittllnga, . etc., as by-products. The hog as a going concern is a great institution. The hog makes a whole lot of money for everyone but himself; first the farmer, then the packer, and finally the retailer share in the profits of this meat-making plant, and the consumer foots the bill. Oh, yes, certainly we admit that the consumer gets the output of this meat factory, and Is justly entitled to pay the bill; but for heaven's sake, gentlemen; don't stint him too greatly but give him a little more for his money. The consumer Is alright at heart, and he likes to see each and every farmer making money, but at the 6ame time has the very natural desire to be able to buy a pork roast without being compelled to go barefoot because of this extravagance. Scientific Feeding. Considering the hog as a meat factory lends importance and dignity, not only to the hog as an investment, but to the farmer and breeder. The tremendously high prices paid for fullblood hogs of late amply confirms this view. The hog, as a factory, and like all other factories, consumes and transforms raw material. And what raw material? Shall the hog be supplied with corn and water only all his life, with a chance perhaps at the

grass in season; or shall he be sup

plied with mixed material and com

mercial feeds with which he can ac

complish more speedy and economic results? This ia for the farmer to

decide, as the owner of the hog, but there are a whole lot of us also interested in that decision. We all desire Increased and cheapened pro-

Liberty, Ind,

cost.

Six pens of pigs were used, five pigs in each lot. The pigs were aver

age fall pigs, lacking somewhat in

thrift and health. Fully 50 percent of

them were farrowed late in October, and did not get a good start before

winter weather set in. How Pigs Were Fed

Here are the rations required for 100 pounds gain, together with the , cost. Ration figures refer, to pounds. ' Lot 1 Shelled corn 364.67, tankage ; 47.20. Cost $12.63. ! Lot 2 Shelled corn 297.87, tankage j 25.36. wheat shorts 90.07. Cost $11.61. Lot 3 Shelled corn 243.06, tankage 19.30, wheat shorts 94.77, semi-solid 1 buttermilk 63.02. Cost $11.78. Lot 4 Shelled corn 407.1, linseed meal 65.58. Cost $13.33. Lot 5 Shelled corn 269.76, wheat shorts 82.4, Unseed meal 52.03. Cost $11.41. Lot 6 Shelled corn 224.21, wheat shorts 79.95, semi-solid buttermilk 59.19, Unseed meal 25.83. Cost $11.17. "The experiment indicates." said Professor Ferrin, "that in comparing tankage and Unseed meal as protein supplements in every case the tank

age gives greater gains. Although tankage is much higher in price per pound is greater protein content resulted in a smaller requirement for 100 pounds gain and gave a greater

margin than linseed meal. Variety Advantageous. That there is an advantage in a variety of feeds seems evident from the results obtained from lots three and six. The daily gains increased where shorts was added to either the corn and tankage or the corn and linseed ration. With the addition of buttermilk to the feeds given in lots two and five there resulted in lots three and six greater gains and higher margins. In commenting upon the gains shown by lots three and six Prof essor Ferrin said: "In this case the four cent buttermilk more than paid

for itself, for these pigs had a mar

gin greater by $2 per head than the pigs in lots two and five."

Every farmer will note the cost per 100 pounds that was added to lot four. The professor explains this as follows: Lot four being fed on shell

ed corn and linseed meal exclusively: "The explanation of the high feed

requirement probably lies in a poor assortment or quality of proteins in the corn and linseed meal. Corn is

lacking in some of the most essential proteins and it is probable that linseed cannot by itself make up these deficiencies."
