A Big Delaware Hog 
The picture shows a three-year-old 
Poland China hog recently killed by J. 
P. King of Sussex Co., Del. This hog 
dressed 1,049 lbs., and is supposed to be 
the largest ever killed in that county, or 
in all Delaware. He surely was a buster. 
Old Jersey Went Down the Road 
There is something to me very pathetic 
in W. D. G.’s letter on page 187. If we 
could only keep these faithful animals as 
long as we can, and then have them end 
their lives at home, where we know the 
end is humane, how much more we who 
think about these things would enjoy the 
farm animals that serve us so well and 
become almost a part of our lives! I 
have often wondered if the time will not 
come when towns have licensed and in¬ 
spected slaughter houses, and so do away 
with the shipping or driving to distant 
cities. A tender-hearted woman once told 
me she loved farm life, but she couldn’t 
bear to have the young calves and other 
animals taken away, so she persuaded her 
husband to move into the city and work 
at his trade of carpentering. 
INTERESTED READER. 
Feeding Questions; Improving Soil 
I have been feeding the following ra¬ 
tion to my four milk cows: 200 lbs.. meal, 
200 lbs. ground oats. 100 lbs. oilmeal, 
100 lbs. gluten, 100 lbs. bran, with a level 
bushel basket of good silage morning and 
night, mixed hay or dry cornstalks at 
noon. Is this a ^ood ration? Could I 
cheapen it in any way, and still have 
enough protein, etc.? In a chicken mash 
ration consistin' of equal parts bran, 
ground oats, cornmeal. beef scraps and 
middlings, do the middlings mean white 
middlings (commonly know T n as Red-dog) 
or are they the dark middlings or shorts? 
In my last ration I used at the rate of 
200 lbs. dark middlings to 100 lbs. each 
of cornmeal and ground oats. I have not 
been using any beef scrap as my chick¬ 
ens have access to sweet separator milk 
at all times. Would it be necessary to 
supply beef scrap and water besides the 
milk? In improving a poor piece of land, 
would this be a good procedure? I plan 
to sow oats and peas with a ton of lime 
per acre, with some fertilizer, then cut 
the oats and peas for hay, disc or plow, 
and sow to some other crop, to be plowed 
under for corn. Would rape be a good 
crop or should I use rye or vetch? 
Chautauqua Co., N. Y. l. j. t. 
The proposed plan of increasing the 
fertility of poor soil is frequently adopted. 
Rye and vetch would be superior to rape 
for the reason that vetch is a legume and 
would gather nitrogen from the air while 
the rape would merely add humus. Rye 
and vetch will start growth early in 
Spring, and they should be plowed under 
when about, knee high. Do not make the 
mistake of allowing the rye to advance 
too far in its growth before it is plowed 
under as a green manure crop. It de¬ 
composes more rapidly when plowed un¬ 
der during its early stages of growth, 
and vetch likewise gives the best results 
when used in this manner. 
In certain sections of the South Crim¬ 
son clover is used in preference to the 
Winter vetch. However, in your section 
it is doubtful whether the Crimson clover 
could be used satisfactorily on account 
of the severe Winters. Cow peas and 
vSoy beans can be used in the same man¬ 
ner, although the cost of the seed of both 
the latter named products make their 
use rather expensive. 
As to the ration, the combination men¬ 
tioned carries only 16 per cent protein. 
When this is fed with mixed hay and 
silage it will not give the results that 
would follow in ease the protein were 
brought up to approximate 21 or 22 per 
cent. Doubling the amount of oilmeal, 
gluten feed, and bran would improve the 
quality and efficiency of the ration. Your 
plan of feeding cannot be criticized. 
In the mash commonly suggested for 
poultry it is highly desirable to use the 
Red-dog flour rather than the bran mid¬ 
dlings. Standard middlings often carry 
a considerable amount of ground bran, 
and if bran is included in the ration or 
combination it is unwise to add another 
product that consists of substantially the 
same ingredient although ground finer 
and mixed with some of the white mid¬ 
dlings. 
If you have a sufficient amount of 
skim milk- it is possible to limit the 
amount of digester tankage or meat scrap 
that is incorporated in a dry mash. 
Nevertheless, during the .Winter months 
especially I should include some animal 
protein of this character in the mixture. 
It will pay in the long run to make sure 
that laying hens are fed some animal 
protein in addition to that provided by 
the skim milk. f. c. m.
