Feeding Three Pigs 
Will you give me information about 
feeding three eight-weeks Berkshire pigs 
which I wish to keep until next Fall? I 
cannot feed them milk, but have quite a 
lot of house garbage. I wish to give them 
a good ration and yet not lose on them. 
Long Island. A. F. 
For your Berkshire pigs eight weeks 
old I would suggest the following grain 
ration : 25 lbs. of cornmeal, 15 lbs. wheat 
middlings, 15 lbs. ground oats, 4 lbs. di¬ 
gester tankage or 6 lbs. oilmeal. 
After mixing these ingredients, .sat¬ 
urate with water until the mixture ap¬ 
proaches the consistency of buttermilk, 
and feed it to the pigs three or four times 
daily. Be careful not to overfeed the 
youngsters, for such a condition will in¬ 
vite indigestion, which, in turn, will be 
accompanied with scours. Usually the 
amount can be determined by feeding from 
4 to 5 lbs. of grain per day for each 100 
lbs. of live weight. If, however, you give 
them all that they will clean up with 
relish at each meal the best results will 
follow. After the pigs get a little older 
they can he given some shelled or cracked 
corn, and likewise some 'whole oats. If 
you have skim-milk, so much the ‘better, 
for pigs of this age. 
As to the use of garbage, a limited 
amount of this can be incorporated; but 
with pigs under three months old there is 
very little to be gained by feeding refuse 
of this sort. Usually it is bulky and not 
particularly digestible, and youngsters of 
this size and age are scarcely in a position 
to eat it advantageously. However, there 
is no reason why it could not be placed in 
the trough and. if they take kindly to this 
material and do well on it, I should re¬ 
duce the amount of grain. It is impor¬ 
tant that pigs of this age be kept gaining 
and growing persistently; otherwise they 
will be stunted, and it is only a waste of 
time to buy feed to give to a stunted pig.

$240. This cow has produced 
$2,520 worth of milk in three 
years, and it cost us $800 to feed 
her. Her four heifers are worth
