THE SPANISH FOBK PEESS, SPANISH FOEK, UTAH iITT Students Visit the State Mental Hospital Considerable frozen silage Is to be expected at the low temperatures that especially prevail during In wooden or metal silos that are exposed to north and weBt winds. To discard all frozen silage as unlit for feed would result In much unnecessary waste, Inasmuch as freezing Itself has but little effect on the feeding qualities of the silage. The damage results during the period when the silage Is thawing out, at which tlm it molds and decays from the bacterial ' action produced by its exposure to the air. Frozen silage should be removed from the walls of the silo as soon as It Is possible to knock or pry it loose. If the pieces are small and not too numerous, they may be piled In the center of the silo after the mornings feed has been removed, and here they will often thaw out before night With a large quantity of frozen silage, however, or with a temperature much below freezing, this method will not be practical. Instead, the frozen silage r should be piled just outside the silo, where It can be carefully watched and fed as soon as It Is reasonably well thawed out To leave It longer will ,. result In Its becoming moldy and unfit for use. The presence tof small pieces of frozen silage In the ration need occasion no alarm, as no trouble Is usually encountered from them. To feed any considerable quantity of frozen silage, however, is highly inadvisable. Not only Is such material highly unpalatable and eaten with considerable difficulty, but also It Is likely to cause serious derangements of the digestive tract Excessive scouring Is one of s of feeding the common frozen silage.

Hog House Is Not Hard to Remodel for Light . , Often a farmer has a good hog house, but has discovered that the lighting is very poor, especially for farrowing March 1. But this situation may be easily remedied, says E. It, Gross, professor of rural engineering at the New Jersey state college of agriculture. It Is not difficult to cut new openings In the walls and roof of a house and place new windows, without In any way Injuring the building. By properly setting In the new window the house will be as tight as before, and the extra sunlight will add warmth. In placing these new windows, size and location must be considered with care. The windows should be on the south side of the building. They should be large enough to admit all the light that la needed. A window In the roof will let In a great deal more light than a window of the same size In the wall. As much as 4 square feet of glass per pen have been used. The average pen used Is 8 by 8 feet. The windows also must be placed so that the direct rays of the sun will fall upon the bed or nest About March 1 the sun's angle Is such that the light strikes the floor 4 feet 4 Inches from the point beneath the window. Thus a window, whether In the wall or the roof of the house, may be accurately placed to secure best results.

Hogs in South Dakota The possible use of cull potatoes as a feed for hogs was Investigated In recent experiments at the South Dakota station. Potatoes were fed cooked and raw with com and tankage. Raw potatoes were not palatable to the pigs and It was difficult to get them to eat many. When raw new potatoes were fed with com and tankage, 513 pounds replaced 100 pounds of yellow corn. When old potatoes were fed In the same way, however, 062 pounds were required to take the place of 100 pounds of com. The pigs fed raw potatoes made poor gains. Cooked potatoes were s great deal more palatable than raw potatoes with com and tankage made satisfactory gains, and took much less feed. In three trials an average of 339 pounds of cooked potatoes replaced 100 pounds of shelled com. Those In charge of the experiment suggest that If cooked potatoes are fed, the proportion of cooked potatoes to com should not be greater than four to one. About thirty pounds of a cheap grade of soft coal were required to cook a barrel of potatoes. The experiment euggests that the only time when the feeding of potatoes to hogs Is Justified la when a considerable quantity of unmarketable potatoes Is on hand. Townships Compete in Substitute Barley for Improvements of Cattle Com in the Hog Ration Falrvlew township In Clay county, S. D., won first prize In an lntertown-sbl- p contest, to replace the most scrub and grade bulls with pure breds. As reported to the United States Department of Agriculture by County Agent J. Bland II111, of Clay county, the six competing townships replaced ten grade bulls with pure breds lq the contest. Of these Falrvlew township Is credited with four. While the number Is not large, It marks friendly rivalry In cattle Improvement, and la believed to result also In various Indirect benefits. The contest was sponsored by the Clay county farm bureau and the Vermilion Commercial club, which Is a business organisation In Clay county. - Ice Water Is Harmful ' " One thing that retards the growth and development of fall pigs Is forcing them to drink cold or icy water. It Is harmful for two reasons: They wont drink as much water as they should and It chills them so badly they will not eat as weQ as they oth- erwlse would. Give them warm water and give them most of It during the early part of the day. Give them a little real warm water In the evening. If they have a warm bed they will then keep comfortable ad'warm all night long. Raise Pigs by Hand It requires lots of patience to raise pigs by hand. During the first few days of their life they must be fed very frequently, about every two or The milk must be three hours. warmed for them, 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and it must be clean. Use whole cows milk. Some use a bottle with a nipple but a spoon may also be used. Give plenty of good fresh clean water and give grain as soon as they prill eat IL n. In sections where barley Is available, farmers can get good results by substituting barley for com In the bog ration. In s recent test at the Wisconsin experiment station 12 lots of pigs were fed, uelng ground barley In the ration. The return for each pig over the cost of feed was $11.38 for the barley-fe- d pigs and $12.33 for the com-fepigs. Interesting facts were brought out In this experiment as to how barley might be used In various combinations, one being barley and whey, which netted a handsome return, d Live Stock Squibs A flock of good sheep will do well on moat farms. see Com alone Is not good feed for wins.

Raising hogs on less corn which means feeding them supplements not so costly Is a subject concerning many farmers. Results of experiments conducted by the animal husbandry department at South Dakota State college Indicate that the Introduction of alfalfa hay Into the ration for hogs materially reduces the amount of corn required to produce a given amount of pork. In two trials conducted recently, one lot of pigs was fed only corn and tankage. Another lot was fed corn, tankage, linseed meal, and chopped alfalfa hay. Where It required 867 pounds of com and 43 pounds of tankage to produce 100 pounds of gain In the first lot, it required 825 pounds of corn, 25 pounds of tankage, 12.5 pounds of linseed meal, and 12.5 pounds of alfalfa hay In the second lot . , Large Heads Lettuce ..10c Cabbage, per lb .
