(Experimentil Farm Notes.), The feed situation confronting the swine grower during the coming sum- mer is not altogether a bright one. Standard hog -feeds are not likely to be plentiful, with high prices ruling. Shorts and middlings, while fixed as te price, show no likelihood of a sur- plus. Corn, for some months practi- cally unprocurable, and in any case too high in price to be considered, may be available, but whether in reli- ably constant quantities remains to be seen. Barley will be high, priced al- so, and difficulty available in many Oata, under ruling and probable future prices, should be used only ror the milking sow and for weaned and growing pigs. Only in small quantities should thee feed en- ter into the lattening ration. It has been shown that with breeding stock, whether during winter or •summer anaintenance, cheap home-grown feeds maybe be largely utilized as an eccin- only, and that from sucli feeding practice best 'results may be obtained SJ health and Troduction, It .ha een, further, clearly demonstrated that home-grown feeds for summer feeding may economicalle replace a oonsiderable percentage of meal at pre-war prices. At the Experimental Farm, Bran- don, it was shown by experiment during the summer of 1916 that vats, barley and wheat all Stood pasturing 'well. These were sown on May 17 and pastured :km July EIM3, early in August.

Tliat this is also the case where mixed grains, wheat byproducts and feeding concen- tratee are toed, is indicated by the results eV' Ottawa, Lacombe, Bran- non and eleewb.ere on the Deperimen- Val Farms System. At the Experimental Station at Leth- bridge excellent results have been ob- tained front, alfalfa and peas, the hogs being allowed access to both crops at the same time. Here, of course, al- falfa is one of the most dependable crops grown, conditions being in all respects suited to its mature. While much evidence is, therefore, at hand, to show that alfalfa possibly holds first place as a hog-pa•sture. It must be remembered that in many sec- tions of Canada this crop cannot be grown at all, in many others that it is unreliable in the extreme, and that even under more or less favorable soil and climatie conditions for one reason or another it cannot always be relied upon, For reliability •and wide cultur- al possibilities and from the stand- point of palatability, producing power and resistance to pasturing, red cloeer should receive emphasis equal to, it not greater than, that given alfalfa. In coneluson, high priced grain anil meal for hogs must be replaeed, an far as possible, during the coming summer. Pastures, as discussed, form a home-grown, palatable, easily avail- able food, that is harvested without labor. The self -feeder combines well with pasturing, and for growing and finishing hogs is worthy of attention during present labor scarcity.

What is the inealthfuln erer; especially has it reveaged facts lest part of a beef, a calf, sa sheep or a hog to eat? Give it up? The answer is: Brains! In Hamilton the old day, Dr.' Ram- say told a representative gathering of citizens that braine are the • most healthful food product of an mime]. He had spent his life in examining meat, and had never seen a ,cliseased brain of an edible animal. He did not go so far as to say that, if you ate animal brains you would grow in mental stature but he declared animal brains made a perfect, healthful Seed, and any man with brains wound take his tip and start eating ;anemone brains. • Of course, the British barn- hare known this truth, and praetiOd it fon generations, but because it was a. good thing they didn't pass it along, and the ordinary Canadian now finds out he has been overlooking the one best bet in the matter of meat foods. Dr. Ramsay let out the eeeret rale-. tive to animal bralus, and at the same tinae opened the cupboard door ore other nutritious, epicurean tid-bitse long enjoyed with ecstasy by old country -men, but concealed from the native born. He said that if there was a greater consumption To brains, livers, pig's snouts, pig's feet, neck ,bones, back ribs and backbonesof pigs, the standard of health of the people of Canada would rise.

As for coal, the production is yet: slight and con- fined to one small corner of the terri- tory; for coal, like the oil, is locked up by the Government. Governor Strong tells us that the railway eon- struction designed to open up the coal fields is progressing satisfactorily. The roadeis being completed from twenty tniles south of .Anchorage to Chieka- loon, over 100 miles north, till there are now 153 miles built from the heart of the Matanuska region ta the coast. An additional ten miles, has been built towards the Nenana coal field, the seventy-one miles of the Alaska Nor- thern are being taken over and re- habilitated as part of the system, and the forty -mile Tanana railroad is op- erated under lease. Governor Strong Pleads for liberal laws in throwing open natural resources: "The coal areas of Alaska are cap- able of supplying sufficient coal for all domestic and industrial purposes of the Pacific coast region, and if the oil lands of the territory could be pro- perly developed they would largely add to the supply of gasoline, "What has been said of the coal and oil lands applies, but not with the same force, to the tiniber and water pow- er. Alaska passesses a number of the fineet water powers to be found on the Pacific coast, only a few of which have ever -been utilized in any way. There are billions of feet of timber suitable only for wood -pulp." Agriculture and fishing must do their share toso in drawing to Alaska the permanent population Governor Strong wishes to see there. The terri- tory is far better able than the Scan- Blundell peninsula to support a large Population, he says .As yet Alaska has but little over 50,000 white, but steady progress is perceptible. "A few years ego Alaska had no faierning popula- Lion whatever. Now it is increasing Year by year, and there are communi- ties 'entirely devoted to agricultural Pursuits." Potatoes are still the prIrt- alpal crop, but wheat, tette and bar- ley can be eaelly grown, and will surely soon surpass the vegetable. Alaskan rutabagas, strawberries and reindeer meat have a deserved repute - tion in Washington and Oregon mar- , ' t e • t t t s t e c t a II d ii t. f, C n P 14 t e h e p tl 11 o' ," ,Promptlyirelleves,. i imehago, :back, Ltroubles,. liold woo, e e., tillIST Nigel* stitt514$ Itertheatit 1----•``,--eltS44ilit . 11 PAIN XI'l-erifiiiitIOr 0 theureatienC neutalgie 1 • sprain, lame: toothache and ell. sinniate Hinat's goat the peini for AO years.) lehoule, be la s wrytitletoeurtbsold el 'All de* let..*,i,.

Walt 48 to even 60 hours before you begin, but during this wait, if PoeSible; give the baby chicks sour skim milk and a very little chick grit. The sour milk gets their digestive tract in a "better condition t6 receive the food, The lactic acid in the sour skim milk kills the bacteria which form toxins which tend to poison the chicks and upset the digestive tract. The little grit will irritate the digestive tract to the extent of start- ing the natural digestive juices So that it will be in proper working ,con- dition to receiveethe food and digest it properly when it is time to inset the feeding, At 60 hours I start the feeding, winch on the first day consists of film feed - Inge of rolled oats, fed very sparingly, about what they will clean up in ten minutes. • The idea, is, just before expulelou from the shell, the greater part of the egg yolk le drawn into the digestive tract and is a food. This is the reason It is possible to Ohio baby chicks on a, journey of three or four days with no ill -effect. Tide yolk furnishes the nourishment necessary for the chick. With this egg yolk in the digestive tract, it is absolutely necessary that it be entirely eliminated or absorbed in about ten days, or there will be, bowel trouble. Therefore during this period feeding should be done very sparingly, The second .day's feeding conshite of thre,e feedings of rolled oats with twe feedings of commercial chick grain!. The third, day and on, including then sixth, should be five feedings of chick grain. The fifth day eve begin a wadi consisting of 80 per cent. bran and 20 per cent. fine beer scraps, On the fifth day this is placed before theneen smell boxes for about. an hour; after that they have it before them all the time, at the same time being fed three feed- ings of chick feed; These three feed- ings aggregate about the same amount as the previous five feedings. Thia method of feeding is:continued until they are about five weeene Old, when a portion or their grain ration consists of wheat, oats and cracked corn, and as they become used to the larger grain the amount is increased and the chick grain decreasvi, At about this time the mash is changul to two parts bran, one part brown middlings, oue part corn. meal and one, part beef scraps. Some people may think my mashes are quite heavy in beef scraps, there being 20 per cent., but I have seen 110 ill-effects so far, Due to war condi- tions, the feed of chicks this Year will have to be changed considerably, which intijr- result in a (slower develop- ment. That I can't say for saran , In cleaning the pens I have a board under each gate that prevents the chicks scratching the litter into the alley, yet that can be taken out when clean. In this way I can push the dirty litter out into the alley, sweep out the pen, then sprinkle with a disinfectant with a watering pot, and with the cement floor being the tem- perature ot the room, it doesn't take long to dry. Of course, it is very important to keep the brooder and all the utensils sanitary. Too much stress cannot be put on this fact. The water pans are filled twice a day and rinsed each time. Every oth- er day they are Washed in disinfect- ant and once a week boiled for half an tour. The milk pans are washed in boiling water, and disinfected once a day. The inash hoppers are spray- ed with disinfectant at least once a week. Plenty of fresh air Is necessary if the chicks are to develop properly.
