WHOLE GRAIN FOR CATTLE. 
At the Michigan Experiment Station 
experiments were made to see how much 
ltjss resulted in feeding whole corn or 
oats to cattle. Many farmers advocate 
the feeding of whole grain, claiming that 
while some is lost in this way this loss is 
more apparent than real. From our ex¬ 
perience we call whole oats about the 
requires prompt action. Coburn, in his 
work, recommends santonine in one-third 
teaspoonful doses morning and evening 
for two or three days, followed by a brisk- 
cathartic, such as calomel in teaspoonful 
doses. I suppose this is for an average 
full-grown hog. If the pigs will drink 
slop or eat soft feed it will be easily 
given to them, but care must be taken to 
most dangerous grain food a cow can 
have. We nearly lost one valuable cow 
by having these oats pack hard in the 
third stomach, and have known several 
similar cases. Where hogs are following 
cattle to work over the manure there will 
not he much loss, but this experiment 
shows that the plan is not wise in ordi¬ 
nary dairy practice. The pictures show the 
proportion of the whole grain which was 
know they all eat and get their share. 
It is best always to prevent this kind of 
trouble, which can be done by keeping 
hard wood ashes and salt constantly be¬ 
fore them. In corn countries corncob ash 
fills the bill first-rate with salt added. 
When home-made soap is used to wash 
it is a good plan to let the hogs drink 
what they will of the suds. Soft soap fed 
to them will doubtless be a great benefit.

PROPORTION OP WHOLE CORN UNDIGESTED BY COW. 
Pig. 1 in. 
passed practically without change. It was 
found that young stock chewed the grain 
more thoroughly than older cows. For 
example, over 22 per cent of the whole 
corn fed to cows was not masticated, 
while only six per cent got past the teeth 
of calves. With whole oats the propor¬ 
tions were 12 per cent for the cows and 
three for calves. Over four per cent of 
the corn and 10 per cent of the oats in the 
droppings germinated, showing how little 
the grain was changed by its passage 
through the animal. With these facts in 
mind a dairy farmer should not feed 
whole grain to the cows unless he has a 
drove of hogs on the manure. 
WORMS IN SWINE. 
I undertook to winter 25 OetobPr pigs. 
They were a nice lot when I weaned them 
from the sows, hut since then some of them 
have not grown much and some of them are' 
growing finely. T have lost: four out. of the 
lot. One of them died last night, and to-day 
I examined its howels, and I found a small 
intestine so completely filled with worms 
that no food could possibly pass through; 
for about eight Inches it was so full of 
worms that the intestine seemed to he ex¬ 
panded. The worms were about six inches 
in length and about as large as a coarse 
knitting needle and sharp pointed, 1 think, 
at both ends. If you could give a sure 
remedy to rid pigs of worms it would he 
a great benefit to me. H. s. s.

Worms cut down the thrift and reduce 
the profits in swine growing on many 
farms, and in numerous cases the own¬ 
ers do not know what is the matter with 
their hogs. In this case the writer seems 
to have a bad case on his hands, one that 
1 do not know that they will eat too much 
if it is placed before them. While soap 
suds from homemade soap is all right 
it is well to beware of that made from 
factory or store soap.
