5, given sufficient meal to main- ,,in mm production and the con- ditjgn of the animals.

To determine how much meal ,,,ou1a be fed. the following thumb rule is useful as a guide:

(Feed one pound of meal for "C1, tour pounds of milk the cow gives). On this basis. a cow producing 40 , unds of millk daily will require iii pounds of meal per 4”, when roots or silage is also fed, then the meal allowance may be decreased somewhat.

as far as minerals are concern- ed, many ailments may be.traced ,0 . deficiency of these substances in the feed. Such things as slow growth, low milk production, temp- orary sterility. rough hair. milk fever, etc.. are said to be blamed on a shortage of minerals in the ration. Where minerals are con- cerned. it is well to remember that an ounce of prevenition is worth a pound of cure.

A suitable 16 per cent protein dairy ration that will fulfill the above recommendations, is as fol- lows:

Coarse ground oats Coarse ground barlev

1,000 lbs. 500 lbs.

Oilcake 350 lbs. Wheat bran 200 lbs. Cattle minerals so lbs. CALVES

Most farmers know how to feed calves, but are sometimes guilty of not providing calves With suf- ficient water to drink. It is some- times felt that clavea who are re- ceiving milk. do not need water. This is a great mistake. because there is no substitute for water either in animal or human feed. A man may drink cokes all day long but he still wants water now and then. The same rule applies for all livestock. It is a good plan to keep water in front of calves all the time. Sometimes we find calves who drink excessive amount of wat- er and such animals should be fed measured amounts twice daily to prevent drinking too much at one firm. Calves who learn to drink water when young. are less likely to consume excessive amounts at one time. It is well to remember that all animals require water to properly digest their food. When water is lacking due to neglect. digestive troubles often result and the calf is given a set back.

BEEF RATION

Fattening beef cattle may be self fed but if hand fed then they re- quire W2 lbs. of meal for each 100 lbs.. of their live weight. Thus. an 800 lb.. steer should receive 12 lbs.. of meal dailys for m imum gains in weight. A good 14 percent pro tein ration to rapidly fatten steers- is as follows: . Coarse ground oats - 800 lbs. Rolled or crushed barley 800 lbs.

Oilcake 175 lbs. Wheat bran 200 lbs. Cattle minerals 60 lbs.

While cows that are in good con- dition in the fall may be wintered on roughage. they will maintain their weights and make adequate llains if a protein supplement is fed. such as 1 lb.. of oiicak per head per day.

HOGS STARTING IIATIONS

it is advisable for farmers to buy percent protein commercial pig starters because of the anti- Di0I.IC content of the feed. for the prevention of scours and for fast lrowth at this time. It is not safe In feed fine ground oats to young DIES due to the needle-like structure Of the ground bulls. The sharp fib- rous pieces of hull can penetrate and irritate the lining of the pig's stomach and impair normal digest- ion and often results in a loss of hell the litter. Oat groats or oats with hull removed is recommend- ed In the ration for creep fcd pigs. Commercial pig starters contain ""1 izrnnts. among other things, and are high in protein. minerals and vitamins fortthe maximum 3''"W”l "7 Pigs, and as such. should be fed from 10 days to it) works 0' lj"" This will amount to rough- " -'0 llo .. of starter per pig.

If a slop feed is desired. the fol? lowing proportions should be used:

Fine ground oats 1) lbs. Medium ground barley 45 lbs. Skim milk or whey 250 lbs. Hog minerals 3 lbs.

FINISHING IIATIONS

(125 lbs. to 200 lbs. live weight)- During this period. the oat part of the ration should be increased, and the barley decreased in order) to help prevent pigs from becom- ing too fat at market time. The higher fibre content of the oats will help do this. since fiber is only about 25 percent digested by the more mature pig. The pigs eat enough to satisfy their appetite but they do not digest as much of the feed and thus do not become ex- cessively fat.

A 14 percent protein ration that will meet the above criterion is:

Medium ground oats 600 lbs. Medium ground barley 400 lbs. Hog concentrate 100 lbs.

If a slop mixture is desired. the following proportions may be use- fu :

Medium ground nuts 60 lbs. 1IVI('dIlll'Il ground barley 40 lbs. lSkim milk or whey 100 lbs. !MANAGEMENT l

Bad management in the hog

feeding program can spell the dif- ference between profit and loss in the hog business. Since prices are at a low ebb at present. good management is a must iL the fann- er is to realize a profit.

Recent surveys clearly show that over 70 per cent of our Island hogl producers are feeding their hogs: from one to two weeks too long? before being shipped to market. Since a pig consumes much more feed during this last week, and since there is a discount for over- finished hogs. many farmers are losing money on wasted feed and on the premium and prices for grade A hogs.

PRICES

Lets take a quick look at just how much is going down the drain- on each pig. During the last week the pig is kept too long: fifty pounds of feed are consumed. You lose the premium on Grade A hogs and ihsre is ii one dollar price spread between grades A and B. The obvious solution is weigh those pigs before being fed and get them away at 200 pounds live-weight and pocket and four dollars that is be- ing lost on each pig through bad managem t. Yes. it is something to think about when 70 percent of Island pigs marketed are graded B. because they are too heavy and overfinlshed. If prices rose three cents a pound. many farm- ers would say that things were looking up. You can create the same effect by marketing your yhogs at the right weight and sav- inrf on the extra feed wasted.
