Quick Money In livestock Growing II
Usually Found In Hogs.
Spring pigs during the first three or
four months Of their existence may be
grown and developed in frame by con-
slant pasturage, and feeding twice
daily on Stops made of bran and shorts,
mixed with small amount of rye,
corn or barley and oats. In place of
rye and barley, peas may be substi-
tuted. Constant access to wood ashes
and salt Is desirable. The best plan is
to provide v-shaped hopper about 5
feet deep, by 6 feet on top and by
foot at bottom, opening into trough
or shallow box at the bottom, the lat.
ter about by 2 feet, and with edges Of
trough inches higher than bottom of
hopper, thus guarding the mixture Of
ashes and salt from waste. When the
pigs reach $50 days age, and new corn
can he had, it may be the principal
food, with only an occasional meal Of
the other grain for variety. But pas
tire should be continued for sixty days
longer. II the hogs by this time do not
weigh on an average at least 200 pounds,
they may be pastured and fed a month
or more longer to reach that weight.
They should, rs q rule, be sold at Z
months or months of age, especially
If corn Is worth more than 40 cents per
bushel. With cheap corn, moderate
weather and a ''glutted Market" one
may feed such hogs through December
and January, possibly through Fcbru.

after the ground is frozen, and in the
absence of blue grass for grazing, en-
silagc once = day is a good ration; or in
the absence of the ensilage, clover hay

the hogs eat it well dry. But remem-

Of pasturagc is required, usually about
one-fourth acre; 800 pounds bran and
shorts, 200 pounds oats. 200 pounds rye,
barley or pea meal, and to Is bushels
of shelled corn. With all conditions
favorable, the above provisions ought
to grow at least 200 to 22o pounds of
pork in addition to weight of pig at one
months age. In many cases the excel
lence OF the pasture will render all the
above unnecessary; in other cases, de-
ficient grazing may require more than
the above to bring the hog to profit

young shade trees. posts, fences and
valuable fruit trees. Unless trees are
boxed eight or ten feet high, unre.

habit originates in the practice of un.

the best and most faithful friend OF
man, the horse. Box stalls with iron
rack and manger will doubtless modify
the habit of the horse in eating the

feed will also often ameliorate this
harmful disposition. In summer, every
stabbed horse should get frequent bites
of grass.-American Agriculturist.

tent of 144,OOO,0 200 yearly average.
The prices for the last seven years
were entirely abnormal, as 1884 created
an unwieldy surplus which was kept
up and increased by several extra good
crop&
This surplus being entirely used up,
it is perfectly natural that wheat should
return to the usual prices.
The average price Of wheat in Eng
land during the twenty years preceding
was 81. As per bushel.
Several years it rose over $500 q
bushel
In this year of crop failure, far worse
than any that occurred during these
twenty years, it cannot be extravayant
to expect at least the average price OF
that period.
A price of sl.35 at New York corre-
spends with Sl.45 in England, as the
expense of transferring bushel OF
wheat to Liverpool or London is not
more than ten cents.
New York, Baltimore, Boston and
Philadelphia should have about the
same price. Chicago about ten cents
lower, say 1925. Minneapolis, Duluth
and st. Louis about $l23. Toledo
Detroit and Cincinnati SIPS.
These prices would all be about in
proportion to price of 81. IS in Liver
pool.
To get at the corresponding value
of bushel of wheat at your nearest
railroad station. you deduct from
the price of wheat at the city tc
which your wheat generally goes the
cost Of transportation between your
station and that city and three cents
more for commission and handling,
For example, If your wheat usually
goes to st. Louis, and you find that il
costs eight cents freight to get it there

900 or more.
They believe that these figures are
moderate, because the information has
come from this country, and they can
not understand that we having the
goods to sell, should spread reports,
which would influence prices adversely.
These reports have nevertheless been
as siduously circulated on European ex-
changes and have had their effect,
though they are nothing less than a
swindle.
The figures about our crop and ex.
porting capacity, as given above, are
correct and correspond exactly with
those given by the statistician of our de.
partment of agriculture. who considers
estimates of 600, 600, 900 bushels for on,

We give you the exact words of this
letter in regard to the present crop. l,
says:
las the winter wheat condition stands a.
o8.6 now there should be at least thirteen
bushels to the acre. unless condition declines
before harvest. As spring wheat is $50 and l:
more likely to decline than increase, II car
scarcely be expected to average thirteen bush

While they we're inside two children
got into the wagon and there found, as they
state, a box containing the body of a dead
woman. This box, with its CHASTITY con-
tents, is supposed to have besn buried near
East Point, and the story told by the children
two days after the wagon and its mysterious
occupants had disappeared has thrown the

Of the woman supposed to have been muir

cannot be located. Two men came to the
