Entered as second-clas- s 8, 1929, at the post office Randolph, . MINERAL . NEEDS FOR SWINE HERD , Interesting Experiments Are Made at Ohio Station. . The mineral requirements of pigs has been a subject of much experimental work and some controversy for several years. The Ohio station makes the following brief report on some work done to test out the effectiveness of several substances commonly used in mineral mixtures: Feeding investigations with swine during the year included a test to study the effect of adding various minerals to the simple mixture of salt 1 part, limestone 2 parts, and raw bone meal 2 parts. This mixture and the various additional minerals were fed with a ration of corn and soy bean oil meal, which is known to be deficient in minerals. Glauber's salts, which is a laxative, was fed at the rate of 10 pounds in each 100 pounds of the mixture. The salts did not increase the rapidity of growth but brought about a slight saving in feed for each 100 pounds of gain produced. Wood charcoal, to the extent of 15 per cent of the mineral mixture, resulted in neither faster nor cheaper gains. Potassium iodide, in the limited amount of .05 pound to every 100 pounds of minerals, proved to be beneficial. It is used as a preventive of of goiter, and under some conditions seems to have a place in mineral mixtures for growing pigs. Copperas, or iron sulphate, was used as a source of iron and fed at the rate of 2 pounds in each 100 pounds of minerals. The pigs receiving it made .2 pound more gain daily a head, and consumed 52.5 pounds less feed fo: each 100 pounds of gain than those on the same ration without the copperas. Prevent Dust in Hog Houses to Aid Health During winter months when bogs are more tightly housed, dust from bouses with dirt Boors becomes an increasing annoyance. Dust from the soil, the dried droppings, and old bedding rises as the hogs move about It not only olTends the nostrils of the man caring for the swine but can also become detrimental to the health of the hogs themselves. Ventilation of houses does not always eliminate this dust. It is possible, In addition, to check the trouble at its source. Simply clean the floors before cold weather and pour old crank case oil over them. It does not require any great quantity. Merely enough to absorb the thin top layer of dust. As bedding is changed during the winter an additional small amount of the oil can be spread on the floor after the old bedding has been removed and before the new bedding has been put in.. Crossbred Hogs Led in Gains Made in 18 Trials . Pruning Helps Quality of Fruit Profits Depend on Apples of Uniform Size and Good Color. Pruning as a part of the management program in an apple orchard does not always increase the number of bushels to the tree, .but it does make a difference in the quantity which will grade ont as apples. Profits From an Orchard. "The profits from an apple orchard always depend on the number of baskets, boxes or barrels which contain apples of uniform size, and free from blemishes, says H. R. NIswonger, extension horticulturist at the North Carolina State college. .'Thick, bushy trees afford protection to insects and diseases and shield them from contact with spray materials. The highest percentage oft cull apples is nearly always harvested from that part of the tree which has not been thinned or is left nnpruned. Apple trees of this kind should be opened up so that it will be easy to cover the fruit and leaves in all parts of the tree." Cost of Pruning. As to cost of pruning, Mr. says two orchards in the Brushy mountains, one containing 3,500 trees and the other 600 trees, spent $57.75 and $8.75, respectively, a year daring the past two years. The trees in the first orchard were from eight to twenty years of age and the latter from six to fourteen years old. These costs cover the labor in hauling the brush from the orchard as well as the actual work of pruning. The main object in pruning a bearing apple tree is to maintain a top, and the even distribution of fruit spurs. In the young tree, the purpose is to develop a top that will fruit uniformly, says Mr. Niswonger. first-cla- ss well-colore- d Nis-wong- er well-balanc- well-balanc- Early Plow for Wheat Will Increase Yield Early plowing for wheat is one of the biggest factors in increasing wheat yields, says W. C. Shotwell of the Missouri College of Agriculture. This has been proven over a period of years by the experiment stations and farmers in both Missouri and Kansas. There has often been as much as five bushels difference in yield of wheat on early and late plowing where all other soil treatments and cultural practices were the same. A decrease of one bushel per acre for each week that plowing is delayed may be expected. Early plowing conserves available plant food by preventing the growth of weeds which would use up this plant food. These weeds turned under later would not have time to decay so that this plant food could be liberated. The lack of an abundance of plant food to give the young wheat plants a good start on making a vigorous growth before winter often causes much loss from winter killing. Feeding Experiments Directed at Missouri The Missouri agricultural experiment station reports a series of feeding experiments. In one case the hens were given all the corn, oats, bran, shorts and cornmeal they would consume. but on these rations they were able to, produce only 60 eggs in a years time. It required 9.3 pounds of feed to produce a dozen eggs. Now when identically the same rations were fed, but in addition three gallons of liquid skim milk or 1 pounds of commercial meat scrap was added to the daily ration of 100 hens, the egg production was more than doubled and the feed required to produce a dozen eggs was reduced nearly Crossbred swine led in daily gains trials at the Kentucky station. This tallies with feeding trials conducted by Evvard at Ames. Gain figures secured at Kentucky are: On 67 IJerkshires, 1.38 pounds daily; on 85 Durocs, 1.57; on 22 Poland Chinas. 1.59; on 20 crossbreds, 1.6.

Michigan Truck Farms Live Stock Hints Night stabling is to be recommended during the time horses are being conditioned for spring work. March and September are probably the best months for the sow to farrow that produces two litters a year. There Is a feeling that because many people do not like Iamb, tbe feeding of sheep is a very precarious practice. This sentiment should be dropped. Truck and nursery farms in Michigan are using electric heat to force their plants with quite astonishing results, according to reports from Detroit. After several months of development and experiment,, a low wattage element has been designed which pings Into a convenient outlet connection and is being used by truck farms for seed germinating, propagating, cutting bench and outdoor hotbed. During the spring season an electric element of this type in an outdoor hotbed prevented freezing of the plants iwhen neighboring hotbeds of the nonelectric variety were frosted.
