Bellefonte, Pa., November 1, 1918.
Economy in Pork Production.
The war-time strain upon our grain
supply hase very forcefully demon-
strated the profitableness of certain
very definite methods in swine feed-
ing. Corn ranks first as a feed for
hogs but the high market price of
corn as well as mill feeds strongly en-
courages a method of feeding which
will ease up on the grain bill. More
pork is needed but it would be unwise
to make a drive for an imcrease in
pork and not consider ways and
methods of lowering the cost of pro-
duction. The cost of producing 100
pounds of pork is primarily depend-
ent upon the amount of grain requir-
ed to produce this gain. A method of
feeding which will lower the cost of
production and still maintain the effi-
ciency of the hog as a meat producer |
is worthy of very careful considera-
ion.
WINTER FEED FOR BROOD SOWS.
During the winter the hog raiser
- does not have the advantage of green
forage crops such as can be used in
spring and summer. It has been
demonstrated, however, that forage
grown in the summer when properly
cured can be used to a decided advan-
tage as a part of the winter feed for
brood sows. For the past four years
The Pennsylvania State College has
used a combination of alfalfa and
corn for wintering brood sows. The
alfalfa hay and corn combination
was compared with a ration of corn
and tankage, and also a mixture of
equal parts of cornmeal, ground oats
and wheat middlings. It was found
that alfalfa hay of good quality to-
gether with one pound of corn (shell-'
ed basis) per 100 pounds live weight
daily was a satisfactory feed for
wintering sows. It is desirable that
a gain of 50 to 60 pounds be made by
brood sows from the date of breeding
until the time of farrowing. It is al-
so of advantage to breed sows soon
after the middle of November so that
early litters are assured. Brood
sows fed either alfalfa or clover hay
of good quality according to appetite
together with an allowance of one
pound of corn per 100 pounds live
weight daily will be maintained in
good thrifty breeding order through-
out the winter. Whole hay is even
more satisfactory than cut or chopped
hay. The hay can be fed in racks
which are placed in a protected place
some little distance from the sleep-
ing quarters. The walk to the racks
will insure plenty of exericse for the
sows. The matter of sufficient exer-
cise for pregnant sows is of prime im-
portance. A brood sow confined in a
small pen will not produce as strong
litter as will a sow that has been on
her feet taking exercise throughout
the winter months.
FEED COMBINATIONS
PIGS.
An old experienced hog raiser of
the county sized up the fall pig prop-
osition when he said that “Half the
trick in growing fall porkers is to
have them come early
ber.” If a reasonably good feed com-
bination is provided three months of
mild: fall weather will insure good
growthy pigs by the time the real
cold weather starts. A grain combi-
nation that has given very good re-
sults for growing pigs at The Penn-
sylvania State College consists of
Cornmeal, 400 pounds.
Wheat Middlings, 300 pounds.
Tankage, 100 pounds.
One hundred and fifty pounds of
oilmeal may be used as a substitute
for the tankage. Before corn is hard
enough to grind properly, growing
pigs may be fed one pound per pig
daily of a mixture of 300 pounds of
middlings and 100 pounds of oil meal.
In addition ear corn should be fed ac-
cording to appetite twice a day. In
some sections of the country there
may be some difficulty in procuring
the amount of wheat middlings desir-
ed. If necessary ground oats can be
used to replace one-third to one-half
of the middlings in the ration, but if
wheat middlings can be secured it
would be advisable to buy this feed to
use along with the corn.
CONTROL OF HOG CHOLERA, AN IM-
PORTANT PART OF PORK PRO-
DUCTION.
The following timely suggestions
relative to the prevention and con-
trol of hog cholera are recommenda-
tions of The Pennsylvania Livestock
Sanitary Board:
If 2 hog becomes sick;
cholera.
Don’t delay, send for a competent
veterinarian.
If it is cholera, save your hogs by
having them vaccinated with anti-
hog cholera serum made and furnish-
ed free to veterinarians by the State.
Destroy the sick hogs.
Dispose of dead hogs immediately
by deep burial, burning or rendering
into fertilizer.
Clean and disinfect the premises.
Keep unauthorized persons away
from infected premises.
When attending sick hogs use pre-
cautions to avoid carrying infection.
Don’t restock until all signs of the
disease have disappeared and the
premises have been recleaned and dis-
infected.
Don’t buy stock hogs at public
sales, stockyards, or from unknown
sources.
Keep newly acquired hogs by them-
selves for 30 days.
Obtain bulletin on hog cholera from
the State Veterinarian, Harrisburg,
Pa.—R. H. Olmstead, county agent.

—— The first man to lose his life in
an airplane accident was Lieut. Thom-
as H. Selfridge, of the United States
Signal Corps, who was killed in Sep-
tember, 1908, while flying as a pas-
senger with Orville Wright at Fort
Myer, Va. The next fatal airplane
accident occurred a year later in
France, when Eugene Lefebvre was
enrolled as one of the martyrs to the
conquest of the air.
