SELECT GOOD BULL
FOR BEEF CALVES
IFraparaS br tha Unliad stataa Oapartmaat
ol Aarlcultttra.)
Buying a good herd bull Is th first
step In growing better beef calves at
much lem coat per pound, tnyt the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. In common or native cow herds,
calves sired by pure-bred bulls weigh
on sn sverage about 123 pounds a
head more, when on year old, than
calve of tlie sum sge tired by
th average- run of ccrub bulla, and
they will aell for about two cents a
pound more as etockera and feeders.
Two-year-old tteert sired by g'd
pure-bred bulls weigh on sn average
about 200 pounds more s bead than
steert aired by scrub built, and aell
for considerably more a ttoclters snd
feeders. '
There Is practically no difference In
th cost of feed for th two classes of
calves up to the yearling age, but from
that time on grades develop more ca
pacity and require more feed than
scrubs. The difference la cost of
feed, however, Is a very afciall Item
when tht vulues sre taken Into con
sideration. Th big difference lie In
tb typ of bull used. ,
Having (elected a good bull, he
abould be tb beat-cared-for individual
In th herd. Not only should hs have
special feed at times, but lis should
b kept In- a separate paddock or lot
and ahould not have th freedom of
th herd except during limited seasons
of tb yesr. Unless s speclul lot can
he provided, eome meana of giving tb
bull exercise should bs devised.
Th bull should be well fed during
sll seuMins, but eapeclally ao Just pre
vloua to Uis breeding seaeon. Ilia ra
tion may consist of roughagea mainly,
but a amall quantity of grain also
ahould be need. The exact quantities
ot feed that ahould be given depend
largely upon tb size, nge, and In
dividuality of tlie animal, and th ra
tion must be varied according to re
quirements. As a general rule exces
sive quantities of sllag ahould not be
fed to a bull doing heavy eervice. S
sufe rule to follow it to feed one-half
a much silage a would conatitut a
full ration for an average cow.
Prevent Pig-Eating by
Proper Feed and Care
A sow's dealr to eat her plge mar
result from a number ot causes, al
though It Is not natural for tow to
destroy her young.- When th sow Is
constipated she becomes feverish, de
velops an abnormal craving or appe
tite and msy kill her pits and eat
them. To prevent thla condition th
tow should be properly fed during
pregnancy. I.I n seed oil meal In th
ration will aid In keeping the bowel
regulated. In extreme caites ot con
stipation salts should be used.
Tb afterbirth should be removed
promptly from th pen and burned or
burled. If left In the pen the low U
likely to devour It ind the acent
ef th newly born pig Is similar.
some of them may also be euten.
A sow that has acquired th habit
of eating her pigs should be watched
curt-fully to se that her bowels sre
working properly. When she farrow a,
rub each pig with a cloth aaturated
with kemeen so that they will hav
th smell ot th oil. Great core ahould
be taken not to put too much on tb
pig at It will blister the ikln. When
tb sow's nose detect th odor of
kerosene h will decide not to eat
th pigs.
Permanent Pastures for
Wintering Beef Cattle
Th secret of economical beef pro
duction 1 th maintaining of th
breeding herd cheaply and it the
am time keeping them In thrifty
condition during winter. It is true
that every farmer ba bla particular
problems relutive to feeding ind man
gement. However, the following sug
gestions mad by Trot. L. V. Stark y,
chief of the animal husbandry divi
sion st Clcmson college, may throw
some light on tb problems which con
front th farmer engaged In raising
beef cattle.
Th beet herd should be sept on
permanent pasture as long as these
pastures are aufflclent to practlcuily
maintain th normal weight. A toon
it th permnneut pasture become ex
hausted si l result of frost or other
wise, th cattle should b turned In
th velvet bean fields from which the
crop ha been anupped. The cuttle
ahould b left In th bean field as
long it they maintain their normal
weight If ry pasture la available
they may then be turned on this pas
ture. In this way the herd may b
put through tli winter with practi
cally no additional feed.
Saving Little Pigs
More of the little pigs can he saved
by equipping the furrowing pen with
fender and by giving better rutlons
to th sows. Over half of the 31 per
cent usually lust will be laved by these
precaution nlnno.
It cost $12.67 to feed low from
breeding to weaning time of her pigs.
