VALUE OF PASTURING
Result of Experiments With For
age Crops for Swine.
Alfalfa Proved to Be Most Satisfac
tory at the Iowa Station, Furnish
ing Pasture Most Constantly of
All Crops Tried.
(By W. C. PALMER, North Dakota Ag
ricultural College.)
The profits in bog raising come
largely through pasturing. The Iowa
experiment station In bulletin No. 136
reports the result of experiments with
forage crops for swine. It was found
that the profits from grazing an acre
of alfalfa in 1911 was, with corn at 50
cents and hogs selling at five cents,
$65.99; hogs, at six cents, $97.09. The
cost per 100 pounds of pork was but
$2.88. In 1909, the profit was $23.62
with hogs at five cents, and $46.39
when hogs sold at six cents.
In 1909, clover when grazed with
hogs retruned a profit of $32.34, hogs
selling at five cents, and $57.07, at six
cents. In 1910, the clover pasture re
turned $28.82, and $51,20 with hogs
at five and six cents.
In 1909, rape returned $27.60 and
$47.47 with hogs at five and six cents
respectively ;..ih 1910, $37.51 and $68.64.
In 1910, sweet lover returned $42.07
and $74.50 with hogs at five and six
cents; in 1911, $23.46 and $39.50. Oats
pasture returned $15.33 and $32.53,
with hogs at five and six cents respect
ively. In 1909, oats, Canada field
peas and rape returned $22.83 and
$43.86, with hogs at five and six cents.
In 1911, three different lots returned
$53.46, $39.52 and $64.63 each with
hogs at five and six cents. In 1909,
the returns- from blue grass were
$15.23 per acre, with hogs at five cents,
and $31.85 at six cents.
In all the trials corn was fed and
charged at 50 cents a bushel. Land
rent was charged at six dollars per
acre. All costs of producing the crop
were figured in. Some meat meal was
fed. This was charged at two and
one-half cents a pound. Alfalfa proved
to be the most satisfactory. It fur
nished pasture the most constantly ot
the crops tried. Sweet clover was
satisfactory the first year, but grew
too rank the second year.
The results ot these experiments
should mean a ' good deal to North
Dakota. The season Is a little short
er, but this is in a measure offset with
lower land rents. It is necessary to
keep in mind that some grain needs
to be fed the hogs In addition to the
forage. When the pasture la alfalfa,
corn is a good grain to use.

THREE RULES FOR FEEDING
Make a Mixture of Grains and Other
Concentrates and Give In Propor
tion to Dally Milk Yield.
It is not practical to spend the time
necessary under ordinary conditions to
figure out an extra ration tor each in
dividual cow. It is practicable, how
ever, to make a mixture of grains and
other concentrates and to feed each
cow from this grain mixture in pro
portion to her dally milk yield, and
then to give her all the roughage she
will eat up clean, and be reasonably
sure that she has bad all the food she
needs to produce milk to the limit of
her ability under-ordinary conditions.
The following rules of feeding are sug--gested
by the Pennsylvania station:
1. Feed' grain In proportion to milk
yield, that is, give her, for example,
one pound ot grain mixture a day for
each three or four pounds of milk pro
duced in one day.
J. Feed all the roughage that the
cow will eat up clean, up to the point
where she gains too much weight

SHELTER FOR EARLY CHICKS
Warm, Comfortable Quarters Are Es

the case. Brooding the early chicks

It Hatching early chicks is compar

To artificially brood the early
hatched chicks successfully, warm,
comfortable quarters that " are not

in the brooding than fn the hatching,
and no doubt for the reason stated.
Give the. brooding more attention and

TYPICAL-BLUEGRASSMEAr
When Preacher Came to Dinner Deli
cacies Were Offered Which No
Hunger Striker Could Resist
Were you ever In the blue grass re
gion upon a Sunday when the preach
er was to come home with ma and pa
to dinner. On the day before, it would
get out to the negro quarters somehow
that the "preacher man" was coming,
and then the feathers would fly.
The jam and jelly shelves would be
rifled and finally the dinner came on
the table. Thero would be about half
a bushel of friend chicken from which
the necks, backbones and wings had
been eliminated, done to rich brown
color; flanked with mashed potatoes
on one side (old blue Meshannock) as
white as the driven snow and as light
and pleasing as the laugh of a child;
beaten biscuits; jams, preserves and
that old-fashioned apple butter; -corn
dodger about tho size of your clench
ed flat with a husk like the shell ot a
cocoanut, and so on ad Infinitum.
We children all had to wait for the
second table, but the old colored mam
my never let us suffer and I Imagine
sometimes we were better served than
the grownup people. Then the pie,
the "punkln" pie. Never served in
less than a quarter and always with a
spring-cooled glass of cream as a
"chaser."
Do you know how to eat a "punkin"
pie? Some of the degenerate scions
of a long-forgotten raco of barbarians
clip it oft with a fork and I actually
saw a fork the other day in your city
which had one of the tines widened
and sharpened so that it looked to me
like a kind of shovel, and they use
these Instruments to eat a "punkln"
pie with.
But no well-bred citizen would dese
crate a "punkln" pio by treating It in
this manner. The well-bred citizen
takes his piece of pie in his hand and
bites out crescents of rich, nmber-
hued deliclousncss from the pie, while
the crust around the pie and the, sides
of the pie and the bottom of the pie
are browned flakes of ecstacy. Half
the enjoyment of eating a "punkln"
pie is in smearing some of it over
your faco. A pie having the kind of
crust that wouldn't stand alone and
which would allow its contents to run
all over your fingers and gum them up
would be hastened to the pigpen.

Music for Children.
It Is never too early to draw tho at
tention of littlo children to music.
They love rhythm; let them clap their
hands, and stamp their feet In time to
some little march or jig played for
them. Then let them hear a little
song repeated often, or two songs ot
different character, one sad, one gay;
they will soon ask for. more, and learn
to sing themselves. Music will become
for them the means of self-expression,
a beneflcient outlet ot pent-up nervous
energy, leading their little feelings
Into channels of cheerfulness, possi
bly averting illtomper, whining inertia,
and dulness. A little drill done to
music as a came will be helpful to
mother and childron. There are ac
tion songs published for kindergar
tens, but a' resourceful mother can
contrive something of the kind her
self according to the chlld'B age.
Marching round the room with a clap
of the hands on the first beat of the
bar first in four-four time, then three
four time, lastly six-time will make a
pleasing diversion for uolwy little ones,
and help them to realize their sense
of rhythm. On no account should the
children hear ragtime frequently.
