If you want to do your best to keep 
your cattle—horses, hogs, sheep,

all winter long, you want to give 
them something besides ordinary 
feed. Something that helps to 
make up for the lack of greens, 
fresh air and exercise. 
Make your own stock food, just

Live Stock Matters 
Conducted By Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Beef Scrap for Pigs 
I have been feeding pigs, which are a 
Berkshire-Poland-China cross, ground 
corn and oats, mixing with an equal 
amount of red dog, but found that to be 
too fattening, for one of them became 
lame. I substituted middlings for the 
red dog and added 10 per cent beef scrap, 
such as is used for poultry. What do 
you think of that as a food? They seem 
to he doing well, and the one is slowly 
improving on her legs. They have char¬ 
coal and are not closely confined. Dealers 
around here do not handle tankage. -Can 
beef scrap safely be used as a substitute? 
Pigs are five months old. Is it harmful 
to allow pigs to root in acid soil? 
New Jersey. m. G. 
Beef scrap can be substituted for di¬ 
gester tankage, although it is more ex¬ 
pensive and not as well suited for feeding 
pigs. A ration made up of equal parts 
of corn, oats and middlings ought to satis¬ 
fy pigs of any age, although it is a fat¬ 
tening feed, and does not produce the 
growth as economically as would be the 
case if the pigs had access to forage crop, 
and were given some Alfalfa and clover 
hay in addition to the concentrates. 
Charcoal alone aids digestion, but does 
not supply the mineral matter essential 
for bone and muscle development. Let 
your pigs have access to some air-slaked 
lime, bone meal, rock phosphate and salt, 
for the lameness is very apt to trace to 
a lack of sufficient of the phosphate so 
essential for the development of frame 
and stretch. Alfalfa aud clover hay are 
rich iu mineral matter, and if you would 
reduce the amount of corn fed and supply 
instead some Alfalfa leaves or clover hay 
no doubt, the lameness would disappear 
aud your pigs, if they are not too old, 
would regain their usual vigor and vital¬ 
ity. If it is impossible to buy digester 
tankage remember that 15 lbs. of oilmeal 
will replace eight pounds of tankage, al¬ 
though it is rather laxative aud not as 
palatable as tankage. 
It is not necessary to feed red dog; 
flour or middlings after market pigs 
weigh 75 lbs, for after that they fatten 
more regularly aud more economically on 
a mixture of S5 lbs. of cornmeal and 15 
lbs. of oilmeal. or eight pounds of tankage 
or beef scrap. 
Slaughterhouse Refuse for Hogs 
We have a number of hogs. We can 
get the blood from a slaughterhouse near 
by free of charge. Can we feed that to 
those pigs without injury to them, or will 
it have to be cooked or heated to a cer¬ 
tain degree in order to kill any possible 
germs? Sometimes they kill hogs. too. 
Do you think that the waste from the 
dead hogs would hurt the living ones? 
New York. H. K. 
You would always face the danger of 
introducing hog cholera iuto your herd if 
you undertake to feed the raw blood 
from a local slaughterhouse. Oftentimes 
the very first thing that some swine 
breeders do, in case hog cholera breaks 
out in their herd, is to load up the balance 
of their animals and sell them to the 
butcher, at whatever h'e will pay per 
pound. If the blood aud residue is ob¬ 
tained exclusively from cattle there would 
not be so much danger from infection, yet 
tuberculosis follows very closely iu the 
tracks of a large percentage of the dis¬ 
carded dairy animals that are disposed of 
from the dairy farms. Then, again, the 
common practice of feeding raw blood to 
animals is faulty, inasmuch as the ma¬ 
terial is so appetizing that the pigs eat 
extravagant amounts of this concentrated 
material and. as a result, are afflicted 
with what we call protein poisoning. 
It is not necessary to feed more than 
10 pounds of the blood with each 100 
pounds of corn or barley, and. even 
though you can secure the material with¬ 
out cost, it should not be relied upon ex¬ 
clusively to supply the demands of your 
growing pigs. So far as the dead animals 
are. concerned I would not risk feeding 
any of this residue, for its worth and 
safe usage center around the fertilizer 
works. If you have facilities for cook¬ 
ing this blood it would be safe insurance, 
yet there would he as much danger in 
feeding this t<> market hogs as in in¬ 
stances where certain of the animals were 
retained for breeding purposes.
