FARM
ANIMALS
BUTTERMILK GIVEN TO HOGS
Better Results Would Be Secured If
Not Put Into Ration Until Pigs Are
Five Weeks Old.
To an inquiry Prof. W. H. Pew of
the Iowa Agricultural college gives
the following suggestions on feed-
ing buttermilk to hogs:
Buttermilk when free from water,
used for washing the butter, makes
excellent feed for hogs. The great
trouble as we find it, coming from
the creameries is that it is hard to
determine how much excess water is
contained in it. At the present price
for feeds, I think you will be very
safe in paying 20 cents per 100
pounds for buttermilk that is free
from excess of water.
In regard to the way it is fed, I may
say that for sows that are nursing
young pigs, it should be fed in very
small quantities, if at all, and
would suggest ‘diluting it. Better re-
sults would be had if the buttermilk
is not put into the ration until the
pigs are at least four or five weeks
old. It is particularly good for grow-
ing pigs, as well as fattening hogs.
The show farrows at this college are
always fed and finished on corn and
buttermilk.
A good ration for the sows that are
nursing pigs of any age when no
trouble will be had from scouring,
would be as follows: Cornmeal, one
part; bran, two parts, with butter
milk three to four pounds for each
pound of grain mixture,
Corn and buttermilk afford a very
good ration for fattening hogs For
growing pigs it might be of advantage
to make a slop of shorts and butter-
milk and feed corn on the ear be-
sides.
EXCELLENT FOR THE LAMBS
Wheatbran !s Good Feed for Young-
sters to Begin On—Give Abun-
dance of Pasture If Possible,
A good flockmaster holds that for
‘young lambg, wheatbran is most ex-
‘cellent to begin with, and after they
become stronger the bran should be
mixed with corn meal in equal quar-
ters. He says that oat meal, or oats
‘when they can eat it, should be add-
ed to balance the ration, for oats is
nearly a balanced food itself. After
‘growing a little they will shell their
,0wWn corn, if given to them on the cob.
The lambs that are to be raised on
-the farm should not be forced so fast.
They need plenty of food, but the
;grain ration should be small and no
‘corn should be used. They should be
;&lven plenty of exercise and an abun-
strumental in bringing about 34 con-
victions for horse poisoning in the
past year.
An autopsy revealed that Mrs.

Chestnut Weevil—Bean Weevil
One of the most damaging pests of
chestnut is the weevil, the larva of
chestnut. Belonging to the same
family of insects is the bean weevil,
and since no effective treatment has
yet been discovered to prevent the
infestation by weevils of chestnuts
and beans, we must depend upon their
destruction by fumigation or heating.
A letter by Dr. Surface, State Zoolo
gist, to a correspondent on this sub-
ject gives the details of the methods
of doing this. The letter is as follows:
‘‘Replying to your letter asking how
to keep chestnuts from getting wormy
I must say that if any man were able
to answer this question he would have
the means of making his * fortune.
That is the greatest question difficulty
at present before chestnut growers,
and in fact, the chestnut worm or wee-
vil is the chief reason why chestnut cul-
ture has not been, and is not successful
in this State. One of the pioneer chest-
nut growers, both of the native chest-
nut and the larger form known as the
Paragon,wasa Mr. Engle, of Marrietta.
He had to give up the business many
years agd because he was not able to
control the worm. The sale exper-
ience was later followed by another
very extenstive grower in Lancaster
county, and another in Franklin
county.
“I have had one of our employes
working at experimentation on this
subject, and the U. 8. Department of
agriculture has made investigations
and experiments for sometime with-
to kill it in the chestnuts and keep it

wormy.
where it remains during the winter,
and generally but not always, comes
the adult snoutbeetle. It may remain
more than one season in the subter-
ranean retreat. We have tried fumi-
gating the soil, and also spraying the
trees with arsenical poison, and other
material, but were unable to obtain
satisfactory results in killing these
pests.
‘‘One of the great annoyances of he
chestnut grower is to have these
worms or larva cut through the nuts
as they occur in great numbers in the
vessels in which they are shipped, of-
ten sometimes covering sidewalks in
streets where they are exposed for
sale. To prevent this thelarva can be
killed by fumigating with the liquid
known as carbon bisulfide. They can
also be killed by heating the nuts, as
in an oven Of course, this kills only
those that a.e in the nuts, and does
not make the infested nut any more
edible, nor does it prevent the possi-
bility of the pest coming next year.
The best plan for holding this insect
in check in the chestnut grove is to
gather the nuts just as soon as they
mature in the fall of the year, and
place them in vessels with tightly
closed bottoms, from which the worms
cannot escape. See to it that all the
nuts are gathered, and that all the
worms are killed. A continuation of
this year after year may result in
materially lessening their numbers.’’
