R. K. have twenty-two fall pigs
and I ita• e no milk, 'only *hat I buy
and that is half water. How would
•tankage go and how much should I
feed to each one hundred pounds of
• weight of pigs?, Please tell me where
can buy it and its probable Price.
Answer: --The Dominion Experi-
mental Farms as a result of experi-
ments carried on in the feeding of
tankage to Twine, have adopted two
systems of using this feed, Which is
found to be a very 'useful substitute
ror milk, One is to expose the tankage
ittn an open box in the pen and allow
the pigs to help themselves, At the
same time they are give eat isfying
tations of either dry chop or sloppy
feed. The other system Is. to Mix the
tankage with the chop and feed it
either dry or in sloppy condition.
When the tankage is mixed a Propor-
tion of from, 5 to per cent. of the
mixture is used. When pigs are al -
lowed to help themselves they usually
consume a slightly larger proportion,
reaching in some •cases to 7 per cent.
of the whole ration.
The price of tankage varies accord-
ing to its protein content. Tankage
containing from 50 to 60 per cent. of
protein usualOy sells at about $55 per
ton. The lower grade .which contains
about 45 per emit, protein, has a mar-
ket price of about $45 per ton, sea
that the cost is about the same in,
either eaee in relation to the value of
the feed. Tankage is a byproduct a
the modern abattoir. It is usually
Sold by feed merchants and the larger
seed stores.
W. H. :-1 am going to keep my
sheep in an old hen coop this winter.
Will chicken lice stay on sheep? If
they will; what should I use to remove
them?
Answer—It Is `presumed that the
building termed a hen coop is some-
thing mere than the name implies,
rather a house in which fowls have
been kept. Poultry lice are quite un-
likely to reniain on steep. They do
not remain on lemma being. It would
be well, hawever, to eleanse the house
of this class of vermin. Poultry lice
are usually fOnntl, in cracks and cre-
vice.” or behind boards near the roost-
ing quarters. All loose beards should
-therefore be removed and the house
given a thorough disinfecting west,
preferably put on by a spray pump.
A three per cent. solution of eeeolin
or a hrt lane wash should be effective
Unless the building is much larger
than the term hen. coop would suggest,
the _sheep should by all. means be
given an outdoor run. In fact they
would be the better for this in any
case.
C. R.:—Can you tell me the reason
that my five-month=old pigs have
piles? What ran be dope for them?
Answer:—The ailment eomplainer
of is probably due to constipating
foods and the need of exerreiee.
can be corrected by addling a small
proportion of raw linseed toil to the
ration, feeding liberal quantities of
roots and allowing for a -daily run in a
sunny yard.
The use of milk In producing eggs
• mil Potilte7 meat is becoming more
general as the good results are evi-
dent. Breeders who do not produce
milk at hone can often buy the can-
mercial semi-solid buttermilk. Experi-
ments have proven that five pounds of
sour skim -milk is abotu.t equal to a
pound of the commercitd semi-solid
buttermilk, -
The cash value ofthe sour milk for
poultry feeding is miller difficult to
determine'but a fair price of seven
cents per gallon has usually been con-
sidered fair. The commercial serai-
solid buttermilk usually costs close to
four cents per pawed, although the
oast is greatly influenced by the am-
ount purchased and the freight rates.
There are quite a few poultrymen
mixing their own dry mash by Pur-
chasing the semi-eolid buttermilk for
the protein and then adding is meth
home -raised grain. as possible, plus
the neceseasey items purchasectoff their
neighbors or elevator. This makes
an economical mash and the poultry-
man knows what he is feeding.
There seeras to be a value to feed-
ing milk that eaanot be expressed ease
fly in cash. It has the vitareines which
produce growth and vigor. Breeding
stoc.k that have milk in their ration
seem to produce more hatchable.eggs
than hens which get aU their protein
through beef scrap or fish*scrap.
In feeding liquid soyaemik and but-
• termilk the dishes should be frequent-
• ly scalded and scrubbed with a cern
cob to loosen the garmny accumula-
tions. Dirty milk seems to be a source
• of digestive troubles- Do net feed sour
milk in any type of fountain which

Care of Barnyard Manure.
'rhe eonservation and application of
farm manure is a matter of vital im-
portance to farmers, as the amount of
available plant food in the soil is the
principal factor in determiningcrop
yields.
Barnyard manure is the most effec-
tive fertilizer and best soil improver
