SOY BEANS AND SUGAR BEETS FOR HOGS 
herd of Belted pigs has something that will 
attract more attention from the passer-by 
than any other breeds." 
IIow do .Soy beans succeed in western 
New York? How does their yield compare 
with pea beans? Can they be fed to hogs 
like corn or do they have to be ground or 
cooked? Are sugar beefs valuable for hogs, 
especially if fed in connection with Soy 
beans? V. k. 
Churchville, N. Y. 
Soy beaus have not yet been exten¬ 
sively enough grown in New York to 
enable us to give to the above ques¬ 
tions definite answers, based on prac¬ 
tical experience in farmers’ hands. New 
York is rather far north for the best 
results with Soy beans, still selected 
varieties do well, and the outlook for 
the more extensive growing of the crop 
is favorable. Medium soils and those 
containing plenty of lime are best 
adapted to the crop. Experiments indi¬ 
cate that they should yield somewhat 
more grain than pea beans, and, as a 
forage crop, many times as much. One 
should not conclude that he has given 
them a fair trial till he has grown crops 
with an abundance of nodules on the 
roots. To insure this, soil from an old 
Soy bean fiekl or artificial cultures 
should be resorted to. Experience with 
other beans would indicate that grind¬ 
ing or boiling would be advantageous, if 
not absolutely necessary, when feeding 
Blackleg. 
What is the cause of murrain or black¬ 
leg? From what is tfie germ supposed to 
come? Is there any preventive that is effi¬ 
cient? To what extent i* vaccination effi¬ 
cient? If vaccination is used does one ap¬ 
plication last until the animal is two years 
or past the danger age. or must it be used 
over again every time murrain appeared 
near? I just lost a calf three months 
old, which had been growing finely, but 
about a week or 10 days ago he had scoured 
because I had given him too much watered 
milk, and I then left olf his grain, which 
had been a good handful of white middlings, 
mixed four parts middlings, one part oil 
meal, this in his milk twice a day, three 
or four quarts milk. I kept feeding his 
dry grain, a cupful of bran mixed one part 
meal, three bran twice daily, mixed hay. 
He had his milk without water, skimmed 
at 12 hours, two to three quarts, changed 
to milk watered one-third to separate it 
and skimmed at 12 hours, four or five quarts. 
The milk had the same grain in as men¬ 
tioned before. Three years ago I lost one 
in this way, that was only fed, this same 
watered milk, without any grain whatever, 
kept loose m box stall, but he seemed to 
be doing well until he did not come to the 
door for his milk and was dead next time. 
I would like to use such means of preven¬ 
tion as would stamp out this trouble.

them to hogs. Sugar beets are an ex¬ 
cellent food for swine, being nutritious, 
palatable and healthful. They may well 
be fed with Soy beans, but are not pe¬ 
culiarly adapted to balance the beans. 
Soy beans are so rich in protein that 
they should always be fed with corn or 
some other food especially rich in carbo¬ 
hydrates. Fed extensively and alone 
they soon become too heavy a tax upon 
the kidneys. Probably one of the best 
uses of Soy beans in New York is to 
grow them with corn for the purpose of 
improving the quality of silage. We 
have seen fine crops, about one-fifth* of 
which was bean forage.

A GROUP OF BELTED STOCK. 
Fig. 202 shows a group of Belted stock on 
the farm of Jas. Clemmens, Racine Co., 
Wis. The cattle and hogs make a good 
showing together. Some breeders have gone 
further and keep the Lakenvelder breed of 
poultry, which carries a belt not unlike 
these larger animals. Mr. Clemmens is a 
man who believes in the enthusiasm which 
comes from purebred stock. This is what 
he says : 
“The Belted Stock is a great delight to 
me, and I take much pleasure in them. 
The Dutch Belted cows are good milkers, 
perhaps not quite as heavy milkers as the 
Iiolsteins, but of a better quality, very 
kind and gentle. A man who owns a 
herd of Dutch Belted cattle can constantly 
look high and feel proud. The Belted 
hogs are one of the most profitable of 
anything I have had in a long time; they 
are one of the best growers, easy keepers, 
and heaviest weighers of any hogs I have 
had. to say nothing about the beauty of 
having a herd of Belted pigs swarming 
around you waiting to be petted. The man 
who owns a herd of Belted cattle and a 
ways due to the germ, and the latter to 
pre-existent germs. Cattle between the 
ages of 16 and IS months are especially 
liable to the disease. It rarely, if ever, at¬ 
tacks cattle over two years old. The in¬ 
fection usually is by way of small abrasures 
of the skin. Vaccination is the only re¬ 
liable preventive. In 1904 10,000 people 
employed government vaccine for their 
calves and reported a loss of only .44 per 
cent. If the calf is vaccinated very young 
it is best to repeat the treatment later. If 
the calves died of blackleg there would 
have been noticed on them swellings which 
gave out a crackling sound when handled. 
You mention no symptoms that suggest the 
disease. Without the history of character¬ 
istic symptoms of blackleg we would suspect 
strongly that the calves died of acute indi¬ 
gestion from errors in feeding. Never mix 
meals or grain in milk for calves. Give 
limewater at the rate of one ounce per 
quart of milk at the slightest sign of sick¬ 
ness, and feed the milk three or four times 
a day instead of twice. You have probably 
been forcing your calves too fast. a. s. a. 
Diarrhoea in Dog. 
Can you give me advice how to treat 
my shepherd dog? One year ago the past 
Winter he had a spell of not being able 
to handle himself, would fall down and 
roll over, always the same way; was af¬ 
flicted for about two weeks, then he seemed 
all right until the past Winter, when cold 
weather came (very cold). He did not 
seem well and commenced to have diarrhoea, 
which became chronic. The excrement is 
very light in color and resembles tallow, 
only nearly a liquid. He has a good appe¬ 
tite and feels well. He is a fine young dog 
and would like to keep him if there is a 
remedy. h. w. t. 
Ohio. 
Let the dog live a strictly outdoor life 
and feed him one meal a day. Do not feed 
potatoes, sweets or delicacies of any sort. 
Feed meat, soups, bones or dog biscuit. Two 
or three times a week allow parboiled liver. 
If necessary to check scouring at anv time, 
give 15 grains of subnitrate of bismuth 
night and morning after purging with cas¬ 
tor oil or syrup of buckthorn. a. s. a.
