THURSTON, Editor SELF FEEJDERS FOR HOGS The practice of sekf-feeding farm •nimais is coming into more general u'so. Under this system a continuous supiply of feeds is Icept Ix'fore the animals, enabling them to eat when they want and in whatever quantity they desire, thus giving the smaller, weaker pigs a better chance. It eliminates the comjMitition and fight- ing that takes place et the troug'h.. The adivantages claimed for the selif feeder are that it saves labor and ensures satisfactory geins being made with the least waste of feed â- with botih growing pigfe and old sows .which are being fattened. It is not ao well adapted for feeding brood aows or any kind of breeding stock that should be kept on less than a full ration. Kxiperimental lesuiltfe indicate that the ^elf feeder, when properly con- structed, and when used in connection with a properly balanced grain ration will not only save labor, but will give greater gains and produce the gains with a grain reauirement which Is not out of line with that required by hand feeding. Based on a seven year average of results comparing self ^Wfiing with hand feeding, it llBs taken 8 percent more grain to produce 100 pounds increase in live weight when the self feeder was used than when hand feeding was practised. On the other hand, self fed pigs made 19 percent higher daily gainis than those hand fed. proving conclusively the possibility of preparing hogs for market at a much earlier date when a self feeder is used- Self fed hogs also invariably showed more uniformity of feize and more even fleshing than those hand fed and on the average conformed as closely to bacon standards as did the hand fed hogs- A well bred bacon type hog, fed a well balanced ration, ill grade well on the rail in paddng plant even thougih it may have been fed from a se lf feeder. Fre detailed plans and speciflica- tions for the construction of a self feeder are available from Dominion Department of Agriculture, Otttawa, MAXWELL The W.
