How should I food a brood sow? The 
ford I have on hand now is sweepings of 
the mill floor. J)o you think that is all 
right, or would it he better to get other 
feed? If so. wlmt kind, how many limes 
a day should she he fed, and how much 
at each feeding? We have some skim- 
milk nod some whey. 2. 1 have some 
ground buckwheat, about MOO lbs., with 
about. HO lbs. middlings ami 50 lbs. hom¬ 
iny' feed. Is that all right to feed my 
rows, with hay, straw and cornstalks for 
roughage? 3. If the landlord sells the 
place I am on how long a time do i get 
to find another, and must, the notice to 
vacate be written? F. J. S. 
New York. 
1. Mill sweepings vary materially in 
composition and should not be relied upon 
exclusively to provide the daily ration 
for a brood sow. If it seems necessary 
to use material of this character it should 
not constitute more than 25 per rent of 
the ration. A mixture consisting of 
equal parts of cornnieal, ground oats and 
mill sweepings, provided 5 lbs. of tankage 
or oilmen! was added to each H><> lbs. of 
the combination, would he satisfactory. 
Feed the brood sow from I ll>s, to <i lbs, 
of tills feed per day, depending upon her 
size and condition. It is important that 
Profitable Pig Feeding 
IIow many early Spring pigs can I 
raise under the following conditions, and 
will they make a profit? I have about 
one-fourth acre available for rape pas¬ 
ture, from eight to 10 gallons of skim- 
milk per day, and would like to feed corn 
and tankage in a self-feeder. What I 
would like Is just, economical gain at a 
minimum of labor. J. s. 
New York. 
The conditions that you have described 
ought, to enable you to produce pork pro¬ 
fitably. A quarter of an acre of produc¬ 
tive land, if seeded early in the Spring, 
with a mixture consisting of 10 lbs. oats, 
t lbs. Dwarf Essex rape, 0 lbs. lied 
clover, ought to .support two brood sows 
and their litters (10 pigs) throughout 
the growing season. Of course this for¬ 
age crop will have to be supplemented 
with grain and tankage, as yon have indi¬ 
cated. With skim milk available it. is 
not necessary to utilize ns much tankage, 
for either of these products will supply 
animal proleiu in available form. Brood 
sows nursing pigs will do well if allowed 
the free choice system, and under the 
conditions mentioned, and provided they 
are full-fed on corn and tankage, you 
might double the number of brood sows. 
I should make sure, however, that the

Change in Dairy Feeding 
Will you assist me In n formula of 
grain to lw fed to Jersey onttie? At tlio 
present time l am feeding equal parts of 
bran, gluten, cornnieal. oilmeal, ground 
oals and cottonseed. For roughage corn 
fodder once a day and a first grade of 
early cut mixed bay. I want to start the 
year using cobmeal, aud my corn fodder 
will be gone the first of February. I 
have a herd test of over 5 per cent but¬ 
ter fat now, aud do not wish to reduce 
this percentage of butterfat when I 
change formulas. B. a. j. 
Massachusetts. 
The contemplated change in your ra¬ 
tion would not affect the butterfat con¬ 
tent of your milk. This quality is not 
permaneullv influenced by the daily ra¬ 
tion, although it is possible t" make tem¬ 
porary fluctuations by making constant 
variations in ihe feed supplied. The pro¬ 
portions that you have been using ought 
to give satisfactory results; but for var¬ 
ious reasons 1 should make certain 
changes, and believe that the following 
combination would be more desirable: 200 
lbs, eorn-aucl-cob meal, 200 lbs. bran. 150 
lbs. gluten feed, 150 lbs. oats, 200 lbs. 
cottonseed meal, 100 lbs. oilmeal. Tllia 
will give you approximately a 10 per 
cent protein feed. If your animals are 
in good condition and are high producers 
a ration carrying more protein would be 
necessary.
