Feeding.—Rationing the $ow.
(Contributed by Ontario Department et
' Agriculture,' Toronto:)
Tom was „blue." '::Having' just
returned from the swine pen, where
he had gone to`inspect `a new litter,.
of pigs, he found that five hzI dis-
appeared. The unnatural mother had
eaten them. - "The pig must he -a
strange animal," he reflected. "It
must have been pure ``cussedness'
that Caused her .-to eat her offspring.
She was well fed, too, on ;worn and
wheat shorts; hunger could not be
at the bottom of this infanticidal -
case." . . .
Tom went about his..ivork mum-
bling to :hin>.self as to 'what .could be
the matter, Nearly - fifty little pigs
had been lost by such cannibalism
during the two preceding years.
Find Out the 'Walt .Spot,: ^
"Where is the weak spot in my
system of - feeding -swine; anyway,"
he questioned himself. "1‘ will go
over and, see Bill Smith, the,;,most
successful .pig masa in the district,
and see if he can clear up this pig -
eating business that is causing meso
reach loss.,'
'•'Good morning, Tom, • 'What
makes your face look so long' and
your nose so blue this:. morning,"
quoth Smith, as he looked at his
visitor's glum countenance.
"I have had another experience
with a pig -eating sow,"- said Tom.
"Five more pigs gone this morning,
and'I can't make it out..- The sow
was liberally fed on . corn and
shorts. I want to get at the bottom
of this trouble, so I have come aver
to ask you •your expedience, as 1 sup-
pose you have diad losses the same
as I have."
How Smith Overcame the Trouble.
"Well, Tom; I would be glad to
give you my experience in this some
tough luck. I used to lose a lot of
pigs in this same way up to about two
years ago, when I suddenly tumbled
to what the cause of it all was, and
applied a- remedy that has •proven. a
success in stopping the sews eating
their young pigs."
Tom brightened up and' became
very much interested. -"What's the
secret?" he asked. '
"Well, you see, it's like this: Pigs
in the wild state or running in the
woods usually get what their sys-
tems demand, in the variety,, of food
supplied by the great range of living
things on which the pigs feed natur-
ally. Pigs penned up have .to take
what we give them, and if we.neglect
to supply a sufficient variety -of food
containing all the essentials lneces-
sary to satisfy the demands of the
pig, trouble will follow. .And that
trouble is usually manifested in the
eating of the young pigs to satisfy
the craving for meat or protein
food."
"That ` . all seems reasonable
enough;" said Tom. "But tell me,
how do you satisfy the pig's demand
for meat or protein foods?"
Give the Sow a Balanced Feed,.
"Simply this. Balance up the sow's
feed from the start, using .alfalfa
hay, meat meal or digester tankage
as the source of protein and phos-
phates. Feed alfalfa hay whatever
the pigs will take. Feed tankage or
meat meal, ,using one pound to each
ten pounds of grain feed, either mix-
ed with the grain or fed ad lib. from
a self -feeder. If the sow eats her
babies,
Tom,
it's
your fault. Do
as
I have told you. Supply the demands
of her body in the food you giveher,...
and then she will be normal and the
pigs safe."
lust Practice Intelligent Feeding.
"Thousands of :young pigs are lost
every spring through the neglect to
teed intelligently. .Nobody ever saw
a slaughter -house' -fed sow destroy
her young. Meat or protein in some
form must be fed to mother pigs or
there will ` be trouble.
'"I• see it, Bill, and I'11' do it, too,
from now on, and save the young -
eters for bacon," said the new th'or
oughly enlightened and delighted

Farm Wife Should Be a : Go -Partner,
It is only a contented, willing,
thrifty and - competent 'wife that can
provide adequately for the needs of
the farmer and keep the soeial 'atmo-
sphere of the farm so wholesome and
pleasant that work becomes a joy to
the family and to such help as may
be employed. One of the shames of
farm life is that such services are -
accepted as a matter of course, and
that little; if any, recognition is -given,
for the important place taken by the
wife and mother in making the farm
financially, successful and the home a
fit place in which to rear a family.
One of the best definitions I have
heard of an ideal farm. is "A .home.
with a farm business attached." If
this View were to be commonly ac-
cepted the plane of living on farms
would be much higher, than it now
is, and the duties and influence of the
home manager would be put on a par
with the duties and influence of the
farm manager. Then the farm busi-
ness would became a partnership in;
fact.
Meat . Consumption Figures.
The average per head consumption
of meat of all kind's, exclusive" of
poultry and game in Great Britain,
was about 120 pounds a year prior
to the war. Of thisamount three-
fifths was home -produced; and two-
fifths was imported.` Of the over-
seas supply 70 per 'cent. of the mut-
ton, 17 per . cent ' of the beef, and-,
9 per Cent. of theepork came from_-
