Now keen and! “everything that competition is s down tine” the most écono- } mica! method of feeding pigs at the least | cost for the greatest product of the best pork is a matter of bigh importance to our farmers. Some practical information has peen afforded by the Director of the Ex-| perimental Ferme, Dr. Saunders. Experi- ments to this end have been carried on at Ottawa, and bere are some of the reeults : “Lot No. 1. In this experiment five pigs were fed on equal parts of ground barley, wheat, rye sod brau soaked 1a cold water for 30 hours, sod six pounds of skim milk given 10 each pig per day. They were fed twelve weeks andthe quantity of food consumed per pound of increase was 3.10 pounds of weal and 4.35 pounds of skim milk. Takingthe weal at {of a cent per pound, which is aboutthe aver- age market rate, and +kim milk at 20 cents a bundred pounds in value, this would cost about 3} cents for each pound of in- crease, live weight. Thwis the average cost per pound of increase up to a weight of 180 pounds to 200 pounds. * Lot No. 2 was fed on the same grin and milk ration with all the suaflower heads they would consume in addition The quantity cf meal used per pound of increase was 1.92 pounds;of milk 5.40 unde, and of sunflower heads 2.11 ponnds he cost, taking the sunflowers at $6.66 per ton ($6.50 was the actual cost one year when we wade a computation) of proauc-| ing the live weight was about 3 cents a pound, or about j centless than in the first Jot. Lot 3 consisted of three pigs, which were fed for the first five weeks on all the raw potatoes they would eat. They got nothing else. They weighed in all 167 pounds at the start, and they consumed 400 pounds of raw potatoes and 315 pounds of skim’ milk, and they weighed only 169 pounds at the end of the five weeks, just two pounds more than when the feed- ing began. Seeing that no satisfactory progress was made, we then put them on the same graia rations as Lot No.1, and thev increased in weight rapidly. Atthe end of twenty weeks they had reached a saleable size, and had used per pound of increase 3.72 pounds of meal, 1.37 pounds of potatoes and 1.08 pounds of milk, and the cost for each pound of increase, live weight, was about 4} cents. ** Lot 4 consisted of four pig» fed from the 18th December, 1895, to the lat of Apri], 1896, with cooked potatoes— all they would eat—with three pounds of exins milk per day foreach pig. During this time, 15 wees, they consumed 2,493 unds of potatoes and 945 pounds of milk, and made a total gain of 185 pounds, or about 46 pounds per pig. The progress on cooked potatoes was not satisfactory and it was given up at the end of the 15 weeks, and for the remaining five weeks these pigs were fed on meal. They con- aumed 530 pounds of meal during the last four weeks, aud made 153 pounds of in- crease, a3 against 185 poueds of increase in the former 15 weeks. They consumed for each pound of inerease~ meal, 1.52 pounds; potatoes, 7.13 pounds; milk, 2 72 unde. Lot 5 consisted of four pigs fel for the first five weeks on raw potatoes pulped, with 3 pounds of meal per day to the pen. Thev made Jittle progress, and for the next Ave wees we fed them entirely on boiled potatoes. They etill made poor progress and consumed 354 pounds of cooked pota- toes for each pound of increase. After thie we fed them meal and milk for ten weeks, when they made satisfactory pro- gress, and at the end of the period it was found that the food consumed per pound of increase was .28 pounds of meal, .7] pounds of raw potatoes, 2.41 pounds of cooked potatoes, and 1.52 pounds of milk, involving # cost per pound of increase of about 35 cents. ; Lot No. 6 conaisted of 3 pigs fed for the firet 15 weeks on all the they would eat of cooked potatoes with 3 pounds of meal per day to the pen, that ie 1 pound cf meal er animal, The progress made was not satisfactory, and at theend of 15 weeks the diet was changed to meal and milk, for the last five weeks. The pen of 3 pigs eained 222 pounds in the firet 15 weeks, and io the fast five weeks, after the change was made to meal and milk, they gained 200 pounds. The average consumption for each pound of increase was meal 2.05 pounds, potatoes, 5.05 pounds, and milk .74 nde, ie No. 8 consisted of four pigs, which were fed entirely on cate and milk—the oats were ground and soaked for 30 bours before been fed, and each animal had 6 | med milk, per pound of increase and consumed an average of 3 pounds of the mixed grain and 4.51 pounds o akim- the fihe t that lot was practic cents per por pd of = ’ weight. Lot No ll was fed on barley There were 4 pigs. The barley was ground and soaked the same as the other grain for VWs, increase, jive : aione., 30 hours, and no milk was fed. The cig- | were fed for 16 weeks and the yuantity of | barley consumed per pou d of increase was 4.35 pounds Takiog barley at 56 cts per bushel, this would cost 3} cents for each pound of incresse. Lot No. 12 was ted entirely on shorts soaked in cold water for 3° hours, no milk,anad they were fed for 16 weeks. The quantity of shorts used per povad of iu- crease was4.4]) pounds, Tsking sborts at $15.00 per ton, this would give 3} cents, as the cost per pound of incres-e. Lot No. 13, four pigs which were fed entirely on ground Indian corn soaked in cola water for 30 hours, without milk, the feeding peroid lasting 16 weeks, Takingthe corn at 45 cents a bushel, which is what we paid bere, but would be a high figure for some other localities,that would put the cost at 34 cents for each pound, live weight. Pork could be produced cheaper than thie, if corn could be got at the low prices now paid for it in the west. Lot 14 was fed ona mixture of one-~ third barley, one-third corn, and one-third shorts, by weight. These were al! soaked tor 30 bours, and no milk was given. The feeding was carried on for 16 weeks, and the quantity consumed was 3 99 pounds of the mixture, for each pound of increase. The cost of the increase was about 3c. per pound, showing a little advantage in using the mixture, over that of either of the ingredients simply. Dr. Saunders says that of all the four teen tests, ihe pigs fed entirely on, peas madeé the most rapid growth; and that feeding swine with potatoes alone is not profitable. He also found that after the pigs reached a live weight of twe hundred pounds it co-t more to put the added weight on them than the farmer got for it. Thatis, whereas it takes from three to four cents tO puton each pound of live weight up about 200 Ibs., the additional weight beyond this will cost 5, 6, and sometimes 7 cents per pound. hoe ero —Are we to understand that the Herald of this city approves of Archbisbop Cleary’s statement that Protestant marriage is reecindable and “opens the deor for adulterous coneubinag:”? The Herald’s motive for attacking Tne Examiner is sufficiently clear; but it fails to make clear whether or 10t it is ready to endorse those portions of the Archbishop’s mandate which- are grossly end unnecessarily insulting to Protestantiem at large. Perhaps it will publish the mandate and give its Catholic readers an opportunity to judge for themselves concerning it. —Mail and Empire: When Sir Wilfrid Leurier is in Washington next month he should be publicly thaoked by the President and decorated with a suitable medal for his service to the United States while in England.
