Self-feeders  for  Hogs 
We  have  had  many  questions  with  re¬ 
gard  to  self-feeders  for  hogs.  This  plan 
of  feeding  a  hog.  or  rather  letting  the 
llog  feed  himself,  is  becoming  very  pop¬ 
ular  with  many  farmers,  particularly  iu 
the  West.  It  saves  a  vast  amount  of 
time,  and  the  hogs  really  seem  to  do  bet¬ 
ter  when  left  to  use  their  own  judgment 
about  when  or  how  much  they  shall  eat. 
weighing  from  50  to  100  pounds  it  re¬ 
quires  four  pounds  of  grain,  or  its  equiv¬ 
alent,  to  prdouce  one  pound  of  gain.  A 
pig  weighing  from  100  to  150  pounds  re¬ 
quires  4.87  pounds  of  grain  to  produce 
one  pound  of  gain;  and  one  weighing 
150  t<>  200  pounds  requires  4.K2  pounds 
of  grain  for  the  One-pound  increase  iu 
lire  weight.  These  figures  are  the  com¬ 
piled  results  of  over  800  feeding  trials 
A  snow  white  mineral  paint  com¬

The  Swine  and  Their  Lunch  Counter.  Fig.  276 
No  one  would  care  to  leave  the  average 
hired  man  free  to  go  to  the  pantry  and 
help  himself  to  whatever  he  found  there, 
whenever  he  cared  to  do  so;  but  the  hog 
seems  to  have  more  sense  about  his  food, 
and  if  a  fair  balanced  ration  is  put  be¬ 
fore  him  he  will  eat  what  he  needs  and 
then  leave  it  until  he  is  hungry  once 
more.  It  is  about  the  same  principle 
as  feeding  the  modern  dry  mash  to  poul¬ 
try.  We  can  well  remember  the  time 
when  poultry  keepers  would  have  hoot¬ 
ed  at  the  idea  that  their  birds  had  sense 
enough  to  eat  what  was  set  before  them, 
and  not  kill  themselves  out  of  the  dish. 
In  those  days  the  theory  was  to  always 
keep  a  hen  a  little  hungry  by  not  giving 
her  quite  what  she  wanted.  We  have 
now  learned  that  by  making  up  a  bal¬ 
anced  dry  ration,  it  is  perfectly  safe  to 
Hiaqc  s 
I.  z'-y - 
Diagram  of  Hog  Feeder.  Fig.  277 
keep  the  food  constantly  before  the  liens, 
aud  let  them  eat  as  they  want  to.  The 
same  is  true  of  our  friend  the  hog,  and 
especially  when  a  good  pasture  is  pro¬ 
vided  for  him.  There  is  no  reason  why 
a  man  should  wait  on  a  hog.  when  the 
hog  can  be  taught  to  wait  upon  himself. 
Fig.  276  shows  a  very  good  picture  of  a 
group  of  hogs  getting  their  lunch  out  of 
a  self-feeder,  and  the  smaller  picture  at 
Fig.  877  shows  how  the  feeder  is  made. 
There  is  uo  question  about  the  value  of 
this  system  of  feeding,  when  the  bogs  are 
at  pasture.  It  is  one  of  the  signs  of 
increasing  civilization,  when  our  old 
friend  the  bog  can  get  out  of  his  nasty 
and  wet  sty,  where  .be  is  fed  upon  filth, 
and  have  a  chance  to  graze  as  cleanly  as 
a  cow  does,  with  his  balanced  ration  be¬ 
fore  him  so  that  he  can  help  himself  at 
will.

from  over  MO  experiment  stations,  .so  may 
be  takeu  sis  fairly  accurate  figures  for 
average  conditions. 
Last  Winter  we  carried  on  a  small 
“homemade”  experiment  which  proved  to 
our  .satisfaction  the  value  of  a  little 
skim-milk  when  fed  to  young  pigs  iu  com¬ 
bination  with  grain.  We  started  this 
experiment  with  the  idea  of  verifying,  if 
possible,  Prof.  Henry's  figures  under  our 
own  conditions.  The  amount  of  skim- 
milk  which  we  had  to  mix  with  the  feed 
was  so  small  that  we  did  not  take  the 
trouble  to  weigh  it.  I  am  very  sorry  for 
this  omission,  for  I  am  aware  that  the 
results  obtained  can  only  he  of  compara¬ 
tive  value,  but  at  tin*  time  we  had  no 
idea  of  publishing  the  results.  However, 
during  the  period  of  78  days  of  feeding 
only  4.746  pounds  of  milk  were  taken 
to  the  creamery,  and  (deducting  10% 
for  cream)  4.272  pounds  of  skim-milk 
were  brought  home.  Part  of  this  was 
fed  to  the  hens  and  part  to  some  pigs 
not  iu  the  experiment,  so  it  is  certain 
that  our  four  pigs  on  trial  did  not  re¬ 
ceive  a  very  liberal  allowance. 
These  pigs  were  put  in  a  pen  by  them¬ 
selves  ou  November  18.  and  weighed  at 
the  time  205  pounds,  or  an  average  of 
5114  pounds  each.  During  the  78  days 
which  the  experiment  lasted  they  were
