The hedge around a pasture had given
the same farmer some trouble. He cut
it off evenly TO height of two feet,
leaving strong stumps four feet high, six
to ten feet apart. To these he stapled
two barbed wires, eighteen inches apart,
as shown in Fig. >. Within year
thereafter the fence was bull-proof, and
it is likely to remain so for an indefi-
mite period.
There is nothing that surpasses Usage

The Usage orange is extensively used

of Illinois there are miles of Usage

they give satisfaction. The chief OBJ
lection to Usage hedge as a yard-fence
is that hogs will work under it to find a
cool place. They rub and break off the
lower branches, and eventually make
gaps, through which they escape into the
fields or neighbors' lots. To prevent
this, the sharp, spiny shoots, cut from
the top. are piled against the base of
the hedge. But this soon becomes dry
and brittle, and is quickly rooted out
and pushed aside. so that almost con-
slant watchfulness ON the part of the
owner is necessary to prevent the hogs

A Kansas Farmers Views ON an Impor-
tant Subject.
At what size is the most profitable
time to dispose of hogs? Farmers of
some localities may make the selling Of
light hogs more profitable than the
feeding of large and heavy ones. In
Kansas, says correspondent of the
Ohio Farmer, we have plenty of feed
for large hogs and scarcely any Of the
necessary feed for successful pig raising.
as pigs can not be raised without
especially prepared food, such as Stops
consisting of milk, bran or shorts.
have tried raising them on corn and
grass alone, but it can not be profitably
done, as so many of the pigs raised in
this way become stunted, and if there
is any thing that does not pay the farm
er it is stunted stock of any kind. The
way Kansas farmers make hog raising
pay is by making the hog reach 800
pounds or over as soon as possible, the
most of the profit coming after the pig
reaches $50 pounds.
That may seem strange to some of my
Eastern friends but nevertheless it is
the fact. We have plenty of corn and
not enough shOats. Can not raise as
many as needed to eat up our corn. If
w. s. Tomlinson was located in this
part of the country he would have no
trouble in disposing of his pigs at a
price above that paid for fat pork, as
stock hogs, or hogs in good condition
for feeding are always in demand.
claim there is no profit to the Kansas
farmer in disposing Of pigs under $50
pounds. My object is to raise as many
as can and have them reach $50 pounds
without becoming stunted under that
size. never feed all the corn they will
eat as think too much corn is not good
for young stock OF any kind. After the
pig reaches $50 pounds or over then
