Show ALFALFA MANGER FOR SWINE Hay Should Be From the First or Second Sec-ond Crop, and Kept in Dry Place Feeding Rack Is Shown. I have been feeding a quart of Kaffir Kaf-fir per day each to some shuats and all the alfalfa they would eat. They are doing well on it and crowing fast When alfalfa hay Is fed to hogs il should be from the first or second crop, and it must be kept in a dry place, for if allowed to mold, the hogs will not eat It. For feeding the hay I use a rack made of one by four-Inch stuff, na shown in the diagram. The trough is Hay Manger for Hogs. 4 feet high and may be made as long as desired, writes J. S. Howard in the Farmer's Mall and llreexe. A trough tour inches deep and afoot wide should be placed below the rack to keep the hogs from wasting the leaves. The slats are four Inches apart so the hogs can pull the hay out, but they tau'l get their heads through. Handling Lambs. There Is a vast difference In hand ling lambs Intended for breeding and for the market. The first khould be matured slowly In order to produce good bone and stability, but the latter lat-ter should be forced to put on fat ns quickly as possible, as the weight la the only thing that counts. |
