Ringneck Pheasant
lumbers of dead pheasants are annual
ly imported from Europe to be sold
for several times the price they brtns
in European countries. The demand
for pheasants is Increasing.
Kiipneck pheasants have long been
established in Oregou, Washington
and Hritish Columbia, and are leas
omnion in the wild state iu Massachu
setts. New York, Indiana and Kansas.
Efforts to acclimatize pheasants ia
the United States are of comparative
ly recent origin, though earlier than
la popularly supposed.
The few pheasant stomachs ex
amined indicate that these birds are
very fond of grain. Oats and wheat
composed about 34 per cent, of the food
)t 12 ringneck pheasants collected in
Oregon and Washington and S2.5 per
rent of the stomach contents of two
English pheasants from Itritish Co
lumbia. Hut all of these birds were
taken in September, October and De
cember; bence it Is probable that all
of this grain was waste. The next
largest item of food in these stomachs
was insects, consisting entirely of lar
vae of March flies. One stomach con
tained no fewer than 3t0 of these lar
vae and another 432. The remainder
of the food included acorns, pine seeds,
browse, peas, rose hips, lupine, bur
clover, black mustard and chick
weed. From 200 to 9C0 kernels of wheat
and oats were taken by various birds;
tbout 200 peas were found iu one
stomach, but it was evident that these
were the old and partly decomposed
refuse of the harvest. Twenty-three
acorns and 200 pine seeds were taken
by the birds which ate the largest
amount of mast, and about Rt'O cap
sules of chickweed, containing more
than 8,000 seeds, were in the stomach
of the best weed seed eater.
What is most evident is that pheas
ants are gross feeders; their capabili
ties for good or barm are great. If a
number of them attack a crop they are
likely to make short work of it, or if
they devote themselves to weed seeds
or insect peMs they do a great deal of
good. It seems therefore that th"
question of the economic value of
pheasants Is peculiarly a local one.
Much depends on the proportion of
land under cultivation, the kind of
crops ra'sed, and the quantity of wild
food available. Apparently the
chances are about even th.it linportcl
pheasant! will or will net bccoriu
useful economic factor1:.
Clover for Fowls.
Clover is better than any other hay
for (owls for the reason that it pos
sesses egg making nutriment, as well
as fiber to separate the particles 9f

that Is needed, but coarse BIht to
separate the concentrated feed In Hie

HOGS DURING BREEDING TIME
Df Much Imparlance That Sow Should
Be in Good Fl-sh to Produce
Heolthy Litter of Piss.
Sows eii-.lit months old or over may
')' lin d, if strong mid vigorous, for
'prtng farrow, but Kiltn that are
(Ouns-r than this had best not pro
lure th-ir first lifter until next f-U'
In order that a sow may produce a
ilrong, healthy iitter of pif;s it i
important, neccrdiug to Swine Hre-'d
r. not only that ! he be f d will
luring pregnancy, but that she be in
"airly stioa II s!t for several weeks
previous to the tim-' of breeding. It
Is Muttd by ihofo who know that a
which Is gnlning rapidly in tlesli
lust before breeding is more likely
0 produce a large, healthy litter. To
secure this roiuli:!oii In t-ows we
would gradually increase the grain
ration durin the period extend
ing from three weeks to a month bc
iVre breeding time. We do not moan
that a sow hhould br fat at breeding
lime, but merely that fhe should be
iu her most vigorous condition.
A boar is not ::t bis best until hn is
two or three years ef ne. lie may
bo used on a few sows when S or
3 mouths of nse and on more the
follow ir.a year, bat he should not be
Hit into heavy service until two years
or more of a:e. Oik ttrvice a day is
plenty for the average boar. Feed for
'.he boar rhould b such as will keep
him in the strongest and most vigor
ous condition Three parts of corn,
nne part of shorts, and one-third of
1 part of oil meal or one-sixth of a
part of tankage, with skim milk, if
ivailiible. makes a splendid ration for
both boar and tows. He should bo
given a l;t to hiaiseir, or with bar
rows, wht re be can secure plenty of
oxercbe aud yet not bother the sows.
If It Is necessary to buy a boar, this,
ihoiiid be done at least three weeks
before the breeding season, aud the
newly purchased animal-kept by him
self. This Is simply a precaution to
avoid introducing lice and possibly
disease Into tho herd. While being
kept by himself the boar should be
horoufjhly wash'cd with dip every ten
lays.
