Even the hogs like a variety of feed and will do better if they can get it. There is no animal that responds so quickly to- good feed and treatment as the pig. How much per bushel can be made from -wheat by feeding to hogs? In what way should it be fed? Almost every wrong act of the horse is caused by fear, excitement or mismanagement, mis-management, said a great horseman. Tha individuality of each horse should be studied, and the feeds supplied sup-plied to meet individual requirements. Feed roughage to the stock before giving them grain, as it invigorates and excites the digestive apparatus to action. . The pure-bred sire and a dam of the same type of as good blood as it is possible to get will usually bring a desirable colt. Be sure to have some disinfectant to use on the young colt's navel when he arrives. A half minute at this time may save the colt later. In eight years out of ten the hog feeder will make money, in one year he will lose and in one break even. This is the year of the even break. Twenty acres of corn put into a silo is said to be worth more than 30 acres put in the crib. This is quite an item, especially when feed is so high. Begin to break the colt early if you would have an easy time with the work and a well-broken horse. A two-year-old is easier to break than a four-year-old. When pure-bred swine are kept for breeding purposes they should be given giv-en every opportunity for bone and muscle development, rather than the production of fat. |
