Some Good News 
FOR 
HOG GROWERS 
*By Professor F. B. MORRISON 
Prof. Morrison 
Asst. Director Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station 
and Prof, of Animal Husbandry, University of Wisconsin. 
Author, with W. A. Henry, of the Recognized American 
Authority on Stock feeding—“Feeds and Feeding.” 
“Up here at Madison we have just concluded a 
series of experiments important to hog growers. 
We have found a ration containing no skim milk 
or other dairy by-products which gives just as 
good results with young fall pigs as when these 
dairy feeds are used. This helps solve the fall pig 
problem for many farmers. Young pigs have been 
taken right from their mothers in the fall and put 
, on rations including corn, linseed oil meal, tank¬ 
age, and chopped alfalfa at 8 to 9 weeks of age, 
and have excelled in gains pigs fed yellow corn 
and skim milk. We find that a ton of Linseed Oil 
Meal was actually worth $85, without giving any 
credit for the 29 days saved in getting the pigs 
to market weight. 
These are not the results of a single experiment, 
but are the average figures secured in ten sep¬ 
arate trials. 
How to Make Money JVith 
Linseed Oil Meal” 
This book, just off the press, is an up-to-the- 
minute guide for feeding all kinds of live stock. 
When I was first asked by' the Linseed Crushers 
to write it I hesitated, as it has been the policy 
of experiment stations to keep aloof from com¬ 
mercializing their work, but after considering 
the fact that Linseed Oil Meal is of national im¬ 
portance and after consulting my co-workers, I 
decided to write it. Europe is getting one-half 
the supply of this most valuable feed and I be¬ 
lieve it should be kept in America. The question 
is not one of patriotism, however, but profit, and 
I urge that you write to the committee named 
below for your free copy. Ask for booklet J 10.

Grain With Legume Crops 
(Continued from Page 1274) 
your grain ration, all that you need to 
purchase would be wheat bran and some 
linseed meal. A combination consisting 
of these four ingredients mixed in the 
proportion of five parts of corn, two 
parts of Soy-bean meal, two parts of lin¬ 
seed meal, and one part of bran is pro¬ 
posed. This will yield a 20 per cent 
mixture and if the corn is ground, cob 
and all, it will have sufficient bulk pro¬ 
vided that coarse wheat bran is added to 
establish a safe mixture. 
If the cows are thin in flesh then an 
additional amount of corn can be sup^ 
plied them, for, with your pasture and 
your legume roughage, protein of the 
very highest quality will be obtainable. 
If the cows are yielding more than 35 
lbs. of milk per day you might argue that 
more protein would be necessary. I 
doubt this in face of the facts, since the 
Alfalfa hay if it is of the second or third 
cutting and the peavine hay if it is nicely 
cured, together with the pasture, will 
provide the necessary protein 
Simplifying Ration 
We are feeding our dairy herd a grain 
mixture, one ton of which is made up of 
the following feeds: 500 lbs. gluten feed. 
260 lbs. 43% cottonseed meal, 240 lbs. 
O. P. linseed oilmeal, 200 lbs. corn dis¬ 
tillers’ grains, 200 lbs. standard wheat 
bran, 160 lbs. yellow hominy, 100 lbs. 
standard wheat middlings, 100 lbs. 
ground oats, 100 lbs. cane molasses, 100 
lbs. 40% peanut meal, 20 lbs. salt, 20 lbs. 
H. O. 
I believe that this can be simplified, 
and if one provides a shovel mixture 1 
do not believe that it is necessary to in¬ 
clude so many ingredients. There are not 
many farmers who can obtain the corn 
distiller’s grains, the cane molasses, or 
the peanut meal, and 100 lbs. of ground 
oats in a ton mixture is scarcely enough 
to justify its use. If gluten feed and 
gluten meal follow corn in its upward 
trend I should question the advisability 
of using 25 per cent of this product. The 
following combination is suggested as per¬ 
haps a simpler formula for a shovel mix¬ 
ture : 300 lbs. linseed meal, 400 lbs. 
wheat bran, 200 lbs. buckwheat mid¬ 
dlings, 300 lbs. cottonseed meal, 300 lbs. 
corn or yellow hominy, 300 lbs. ground 
wheat, 100 lbs. gluten feed, 100 lbs. 
gluten meal. 
Of course you realize that grain values 
are very rapidly changing and that it 
will be of doubtful wisdom for one to 
stock up heavily under existing circum¬ 
stances. The salt and calcium carbonate 
in my opinion may best be sprinkled over 
the hay or supplied in the form of lick¬ 
ing boxes. Oftentimes they detract from 
the palatabilit.v of a mixture and retard 
the appetites of certain individuals in a 
herd. Particularly is this true for high 
producing cows that can be economically 
fed relatively large amounts of grain. If 
corn distiller’s grains are available and 
oats are produced on the farm, then these 
may he substituted for a portion of the 
corn or hominy as the case may be. 
Cow Has Udder Trouble 
I have a four year-old cow that has 
freshened twice. ‘ The first time she 
freshened she was all right, but since 
freshening the last time she gives bloody 
milk from one front teat and sometimes 
from both. Sometimes when starting to 
milk her there are stringy lumps of blood 
and milk that come from her teats before 
the milk comes all right. w. H. 
Your four-year-old cow is suffering 
from garget. The chances are that she 
is a persistent milker and that pains 
were not taken to dry her off properly. 
The first step to take is to reduce the 
grain ration and to provide a legume feed. 
Clover or Alfalfa hay with bran and beet 
pulp, fed in reduced quantity, will serve 
this purpose. If the cow can be turned 
out to grass and the grain ration re¬ 
duced to a minimum it would be an ad¬ 
vantage and in time this condition will 
Correct itself. 
The first milk should be drawn in pails 
and destroyed and should not be milked 
out on the stable floor for fear of in¬ 
fecting the other divisions of the udder. 
Sometimes congestion of this character 
follows the use of extravagant amounts 
of grain, particularly rations which are 
concentrated and which do not possess 
sufficient variety.
