• To Hog Producers
Producers of hogs in Canada are
reminded that the increase in the
number of over -finished and over -
hogs now being marketed is creating
a very serious and acute problem in
the export 'bacon and domestic pork
trade. Farmers are therefore strongly
advised to refrain from overfinishing
and to endeavor to market their hogs
before reaching a :weight of 230
pounds at the farm.
Principles of Grading
The grading of farm products is
based on •the principle that it is
sound Business to classify live stock
in such a •way. that 'the consumer will
be able to recognize and :purchase
quality products, and that the price
•promiutn which the eonsauner will
pay for the ,better grades should be
returned to the producer of them.
Practice has proven the value of the
theory involved in the grading prin-
ciple. Grading activities have sheen a
tremendous incentive to quality pro-
duction, with resultant price 'benefit'
to producers,
Breeding Troubles
Following long winters with deep
snow, as this winter promises to he,
a great deal of trouble is usually ex-
perienced with hairlessness in young.
pigs, goitre in calves and lambs, and
Mint ill in foals. It is suggested that
these troubles may the traced to a
lack of iodine in the th'ryoid gland
of the pregnant 'female, and losses
'from this cause may he avoided 'by
feeding iodine, in the form df potas-
sium iodine.
Potassium iodide jtas a generally
stimulating effect, toning up the
the 'whole system, • and exerts a par-
ticularly strong influence on the gen-
erative organs, Females whioh are
apparently non -breeders will often
become pregnant after this drug has
been administered for a few months,
For POWs, dissolve two. ounces of
potassium iodide in a oup of warm
water; slirin'kle this solution over 1100
Pounds of salt spread evenly and in
a thin layer on a clean floor, and tai:
well. When the salt is dry, place it
in a box where the animals have free
access to it. For ewes, 'follow the
sante method as 'for cows.
For sows, -dissolve •oae ounce of
potassium iodide crystals in one gal -
ion of water, and mix one tablespoon
per sow daily in the feed or drinking
water. For mares, give each mare a
half a teaspoonful o'f ;potassium iod-
ide in the feed grain or water on the
first and fifteenth of each month,
Green Feed for Poultry
At all times of the year, an abund-
ance of green feed is essential to the
health of the poultry 'flock. In sum-
mer it may be provided by free range
on the farm, but in winter it must be
supplied by some forst of stored feed,
Roots, cabbage, sprouted oats, and al-
falfa hay are commonly :used for win-
ter 'feeding. Probably alfalfa is the
the most valuable element in the win-
ter potiltry ration, and if the follow-
ing precaution is taken in feeding it
maybe used in unlimited quantity.
For several y ears i t has been the
practice at the Experimental Station
at Harrow to chop fine. the young al-
falfa shoots for the baby chicks and
to use cut alfalfa hay- as the sale
means of supplying the necessary
roughage and greens for 'winter egg
production. A good grade Of second
or third cutting hay is run through a
cutting box in about half-inch
lengths, steeped for twenty-four
hours by entirely covering •tvitlt cold
water, strained, and fed in shallow
tubs. For the best results it is fed
immediately after the early morning
grain and again later in the after-
noon. Old stalks left should be
thrown out where the birds cannot
reach theta or they may be the cause
of crop trouble.
Fair results may he had .by feeding
good alfalfa leaf dry but the experi-
ence at this Station is that the steep-
ed cut hay is 'hotter appreciated by
the +birds on account 'of its -easy diges-
tibility- and because tit is more
palatable,
