Ration is calculated to test 74.9 lbs. 
total nutrients. 
Unicorn officially tests 82.3 lbs. and 
so contains 10% more food, showing 
we give good measure and save you 
10% on the cost of feed. There is no 
other feed made that tests so high.

The Best Hog 
I T would like inforniiition from practical 
liog-i-aiscr.s on the mcrit.s of the I’erk- 
sliire hog. I believe there is money in 
raising hogs, even at the high cost of feed, 
I if one gets the right kind, and as I no¬ 
tice thiit tlie iJerksliire seems to lead 
other breeds in advertising. I would like 
to inquire why this is so. Do tliey make 
l)etter growth on the same amount of 
feed, and can you f:itten tlieni readily at 
any time of gianvth? Does the carcass 
dress up any better than others? Is 
i their meat any firmer than other breeds 
of hogs, and is it also true that prime 
fat hogs or “market toiijiers.” as they 
are sometimes failed, sell in the stock 
with a uniform size. When all the grass 
has been packed in, they dig soil out of 
the ditch and put it on top to the depth 
of about two feet. This gives a weight to 
(lack the stack down hard, and also gives 
a roof to shed the water. On top of the 
earth is usually put a layer of straw or 
hay with boughs ou top to hold tliis in 
jilace. Anything to keep the cover on ; 
tliat .seems to be all there is to it. and 
this silage _ is really notliing hut fresh 
grass jiermitted to ferment in lliis way 
and kept over into Winter. 
In feeding this stuff we are told that 
they do not carry it into the barn, as 
there must be a very strong smell to it. 
They cut it down with a hay knife or ax, 
and scatter the small lumps ou the 
ground about 1.50 feet away from the 
stable. The cattle are let out to water, 
and they run to this silage and eat it

I believe that your Berksliire Itreeders 
(also readers) should be able to answer 
the above questions in such a way as to 
give the beginner the best informatiou 
obtainable on a subject that is so im¬ 
portant to a beginner, as one does not 
like to invest in purebred breeding stock 
unless they know some of the advantages 
of the particular breed, let it be chickens, 
sheep, catth‘, horses or hogs. c. n. F.

from the ground. Mvidently in the milder 
Winters of JOngland there will 1)C a .sod 
oi' growing crop most of the season, and 
silage sec'ins to be put on such a sod. 
'J’hey feed it out a.s soon as it is- cool. 
F'rost has no effect upon it, but tliey 
usually keep it until .after Christmas, 
feeding the roots first, and then giving 
this fermented grass for the balance of 
tlie Winter. It will seem to most of our 
American dairymen like a great waste of 
hay to handle the crop in this manner. 
We must remember that the hhiglish <di- 
mate is different from ours, espe(;iall.v 
where this method is used. In many 
<-ases it is practically impossible to dry 
the grass properly, and with the need of 
some kind of green feed this method real¬ 
ly gives tliem the most economical form 
for handling the grass. We should hardly 
care to Tecommeiid it for our Americaii 
farmers, for anyone who can raise corn 
will do much better to use the corn for 
liis silo and cure the gra.ss into dried fod¬ 
der.

Solid Grass Silage in the Stack 
'rdl us more about th(“ Hnglish idaii 
of stacking wet hay. J. K. 
Tlie Hnglish agricultural paper, “Farm 
and Home,” gives a full description of 
the making of silage in England. They 
do not raise corn over tliere to any ex¬ 
tent, so that what they call silage is 
simply green gra.ss thrown into a stack 
or jiile for drying, and kept over until 
Winter. They prefer to liave these stacks 
ill a circular form, although sometimes 
they are made sipiare or oblong. The 
.smallest stack that is practical is said to 
be 20 feet in diameter. All they do is 
to lay out the grouiul for the stack on 
some well-drained place. Then they cut 
a shallow ditch three feet wide around 
the foniidatioii of the stack. This not 
only gives drainage, but also a chance to 
dig out the soil used in covering tlie 
stack. The gra.ss is cut Avheii Avet, and 
only one day’s work at a time. They 
haul the wet gra.ss right over the field 
and pile it on the ground, not over five 
feet thick at one time. This wet gra.ss 
is trampled down hard, and the next day 
more grass i.s put on. Each day’s layer 
slioiild not run over four feet tliick. If 
the weather is dry, so that the grass is 
not wet, water is run in to moisten it. 
,\.s the stack is built up in this way, it 
begins to fall in. and as the weight in¬ 
creases the stack packs itself down hard 
to the ground. They do not try to make 
the top smaller than the bottom, or to 
finish it off like u cone, but carry it up 
Wounded Cow 
My cow got cut M'tli a scythe on ihe 
log about 10 days ago. I immediately 
poured iodine in the cut and cleaned it 
out as best I could in tlie morning; cow 
got cut some time durinjf the night. I 
pulled some grass from cut and seemed 
to have it clean, a.s near as 1 could S(‘e; 
then daily thereafter I washed it. jioured 
peroxide in the cut and tlien used iodine; 
bathed rather freely, and all bandaging 
clean and used it (piite wet. .soaked with 
a 2 per cent, solution of lysol and plenty 
of bandaging and oilcloth all over to 
keep clean. Weather was hot; also tlie 
slahle. but could not keep animal outside 
on account of Hies. T’p to now cow ate 
and drank, stood a little on leg, but laid 
down most of tlie time and .semned to 
have little pain, but shrunk in milk from 
nine quarts a day to two quarts now, and 
the cow seems to have pain. Pus has 
formed, as it is finding an outlet now. 
It is a good young cow (.fersey). Cow 
eats and drinks, and rises on the legs a 
niiniber of times during the day and 
night. How can I treat to prevent proud 
flesh? F, B. . 
IMichigan, 
Cleanse the foot and wound perfectly, 
then with a shai'ii, clean hoof knife cut 
away any horn of the lioof fall that has 
b(>come loose or separated by burrowing of 
jni.s. Also remove with scissors every 
shred of I'agged and diseased tissue of 
any sort. Now saturate the wound with 
a 1-1000 .solution of bichloride of mer- 
<airy (corrosive sublimate) from tablets 
to be bought at the drug store. After¬ 
ward cover the entire wound with a mix¬ 
ture of one part each of iodoform and 
tannic acid and .six parts of boric acid 
dusted on, then covered with absorbent 
cotton, to be held firmly in place by 
means of cheesecloth and then un- 
bleaclied mu.'^liii bandages criss-cro.ssed 
between the toes and fastened around the 
pastern above hoof. Pressure will tend 
to keep down “proud flesh,” which merely 
is excessive granulation of new tissue. 
Support the heel with a roll of oakum 
under the heel. A. S. A. 
Hog to Wallow^ 
Here’s a good thing to do: Provide 
a wallow close to the feeding 
grounds to which add Dr. Hess Dip 
and Disinfectant. As the hogs pass 
back and forth from the wallow to 
the feed trough, the DIP will kill 
the lice and cleanse the skin, while 
the DRIP will destroy the disease 
germs and the worms that pollute 
the ground. That will mean a clean, 
healthy skin, freedom from lice, a 
safeguard against disease and 
larger, better porkers.
