Peas, Protein Feed- For Bacon Hogs
L., The results` of two ` feeding tests
conducted in 1944, •show that satis-
factory gains are made by growing
pigs whenup to' fifty per cent of
the supplementary protein ie supplied
by peas. The 'other constituents of
the supplements used with ,pea meal
were meat meal and fish _,.meal, or
meat- meal alone. Five per each
of...bone meal-and--iodizedsalt were
included ^ with each of thesupple-
ments tested, says K. M. Hopper,
Dominion Experimental Farm, Bran-
don. .
The basal ration fed in the tests'.
was made up of nine parts of chop-
ped barley and, one part of chopped
oats. ""One test was commenced when
the , average weight of the pigs was
56 pounds, and the other when the
average weight was •,35 pounds. The
tests were_continaed until, all pigs
were up to. market weight. Slaugh-
ter tests were made -to. determine the
axiality of carcass produce,d,•with each
of the rations.
The• •amounts of , pea meal -included
in the• different supplements used
were forty, fifty and sixty per :cent
respectively. ' Sufficient supplement
was added to each ration tobring the
total , protein content of the feed
mixture, up to 16 per' cent until the.
pigs reached an average,• weight of
100 pounds. During,',, the period„wh'en
the pigs were gaining in weight from.
an average of 100. pounds to 150

Itis w,ei1 known that ' baby chicks"
are highly susceptible to .infection
with Salmonella pulIorum, the organ. -
Mid that causes puliorum disease, 'but'
it •le not as well recognized thatbirds
of all ages may contract the infection
front others, says Dr. Oharles,A• Mit-
chell,'
itchell,' Dominion Animal • Pathologist.
While adult birdsi do not as a . Tul'd
show any visible effects of such in
fedion they neve-theless become
carriers and may spread the. infection
to other birds.. .
Experiments conducted by the Di-
vision of Aiillinal Pathology, Domin-
ion 'Department ,of Agriculture, have
shown that when chickens` 40 days of
age were placed with •'Int infected
group of the same ake, •37 Per cent
`became infected. Twenty Per cent of
adult finales became infected when
placed in an infected adult group of
birds, Thirty per cent of adult fe
Males also became infected by ex-
posure in the same infected group of
birds:
Seicerai_znonths' exposure was- nbc:
essary before evidence of infection,
as shown by agglutination tests, made
lits appearance. Older birds are much
less susceptible to infection , with
Salmonella pullorum than chicks un-
der natural conditions but these ex-'
periments serve to show that older
chicks andadult birds cannot. be ov-'
erlooked<as a source of infection. The
presence of infection was confirmed
by bacteriological examination of the
birds that reacted to the agglutina-
hen' test. '

'Alfalfa is one of the most "popular•,
species hi hay and pasture crops.
Its popularity and importance is•
clearly demonstrated by the fact that
there are now over .1 % 'million' acres
of alfalfa sown annuaUy,,.in'Canada.
Alfalfa won its favour :because• of:
its' prolific growth and its reuiar.k-
able resistance to drought due to the
deeply penetrating branching .tap
root. Being a legume, alfalfa possess-
es the power -to increase the ,nitrogen
content of the soil. "tt yields more
abundantly than , other . perennial
grasses and legumes and is consider-
ed --.the -cheapest source of --protein •
produced .on -the farm. ,
F. •"S. Nowosad says tai tt in •hay
tests. conducted, by the Mission of
Forage Plant's; eeutrat-Ek e-ifn ental
-Farms, Ottawa, mixtures containing
alfalfa • produced ` over a period, of
years, nearly 30 per cent.' more bay
than similar . mixtures without this
legume: . Mixture. containing . alfalfa.
and used for pasture• purposes pro-
dneed.20 per cent More than
mixture g own' without alfalfa:

same
Pasture mixtures with alfalfa 'pro-
duced approximately three times as
•much per acre as pure Kentucky.blue
grass, and more than twice as much
as pure timothy, red top, meadow
fescue or brome grass.
-row seasonal yield, however, is
not -the only thing in.favor of alfalfa:
in hay -pasture mixtures. Of equal
importance also is the fact that alfal-
fa remains productive over a longer
period than'anyother grass or•legurhe
species. The grasses normally make
their greatest growth early , during
May and June and then ,-fall off
quickly in production 'during July -and
August. Alfalfa pn. the other, hand
pr'oduces'lts` greatest growth in' June,
July anti early August; •so that mix;,
tures containing this legume remain
productive at- the tine most requir-
ed•
Mixtures containing alfalfa give
good yields of high quality 'hay with
• good aftermath; which •may° be ;cut for
hay. or pastured by live stock. After
.one or two 'years' hay there is usual-
ly considerable alfalfa left in the mix-
ture to giye,abundance of •pasture for
'a. few; years to come. ,At present,
farmers everywhere • are ' including
hardy, •high -yielding varieties 'of al-
falfa in miictuires for hay, hay -pasture
or straight Pasture seedings. •
• SUGAR PRICES
While sugar prices in •'the •'United .
States will be increased one-half cent
per pound le meet the increased cost
of imported raw sugar there is no in-
tention of authorizing any increase in
the price of sugar in Canada, -accord-
ing to an announcement.. by S. R.
Noble, sugary administrator .for ' the
Wartime Prices and Trade Board.
The increased cost to Canada for raw
rugae will be absorbed out of the
Sugar Stabilization Fund .billit up ov-
er the past number of years.
Lower Insurance and ocean, freight
it 0-16 may partially offset the itr--
creased rawsugar costs so that the
net• ;nss on_ raw stnlgar at present will
be about 30 cents per„ hundred
pounds. Increases in redline to Can-
adian sugar beet growers' will be
granted without increasing the' price
of sugar to consumers. Increased as -
'Matinee on beet • sugar Will amount
to 60 cents per hundred 1>ouinds, the
-entire amount going to g'rovrerd, ti►'
increase the returns on sugar beets
by about, $1.50 per ton..,
