iVleat animals are what they eat! It takes a bal-
anced ration to keep them healthy, growing and gain-
ing. Successful livestock men know this. Hundreds
of controlled feeding experiments prove it. Morrison,
the great feeding authority, states—“Lambs, on un-
balanced rations require 46% more com and 15%
more hay for each 100 pounds of gain!”
Balanced rations for hogs show spectacular results.
Anyone can make a lot of fat and a little lean with
com and water. But that’s the slow, expensive way.
It takes a pile of corn to do it. But with com bal-
anced with proteins and minerals and vitamins hogs
can be fed to market weights in six months or less.
Think of the corn you can save—11 bushels of com
alone will make 100 pounds of pork, but only 6'A
bushels of corn plus 35 pounds of protein supplement
will do the same job faster.

alfalfa, milk solids, vitamin oils, and some synthetic
sources provide essential vitamins and other factors.
Mineral balance is necessary, too. Salt, the universal
need, supplies sodium and chlorine. Steamed bone
meal supplies calcium and phosphorus, and other
major minerals. With these, alert research men now
are combining other known essential elements, such
as cobalt, manganese, iron, iodine, copper, and mag-
nesium, to turn slow gamers into fast gainers.

Want to estimate efficiency of calf pro- Marvin Koger
duction in your cow herd? The cow’s first calf tells more
than her good looks. In a New Mexico study, we took
the weaning weights of first calves weaned by three-year-
old cows. These weights were compared with the weaning
weights of calves raised by these same cows in the next
four years. Cows and calves were placed in five groups
(according to the weaning weight of first calves). Here’s
the 5-year record:

‘It takes a big tractor to pull a heavy-duty plow’
This large tractor is especially designed
to handle the big and heavy jobs—easily,
efficiently, economically.
This Uttla tractor is good when used for its
proper purposes. But it ia aot built to
pull such a heavy plow.
It’s the same way
with business, includ-
ing the meat-packing
business. There’s need
' for all kinds and sizes
of packing plants—
large ones aa well as
small ones. Two-thirds
of the livestock is pro-
duced west of the Mis-
sissippi River. Two-thirds of the meat is eaten east of it. Bring-
ing meat and meat-eaters together is a big job!
That’s where the “big tractor” proves its worth. The country
needs nation-wide meat packers like Swift A Company. For with
processing plants located where most of the livestock ia raised,
we can help bridge the gap between western range and feedlots and

Considering only the two extremes, Group One and
Group Five, it was shown that breeding stock picked
from Group One could be expected to produce, for the
next four years, calves that had a yearly average weening
weight of only 404 pounds. But those picked from Group
Five should produce calves with a yearly average weaning
weight of 456 pounds, 52 pounds more than Group One.
These figures show that later calves are apt to be a re-
peat performance of the cow’s first calf. Cows doing
cows with light, scrubby first calves would be well repaid'
in greater profit through more efficient production.
