PIG PEN POINTERS.

Hoes prefer clean, pure water ans
sound, clean food.
SWINE need grazing in all seasons OF
the year, especially in the spring and
summer.
sLoP barrel and feed box on
wheels lightens the labor of caring for
the pigs.
FEEDING grounds, if you must feed
on the ground, should be on a slope
near the top of a hillside, that the inn
purities in the dust may be washed
away by rains. If water is on low
grounds by all means arrange to feed
and have the hogs sleep on higher
ground
IL the pigs sleep in shed in sum
mer great cleanliness is necessary.
Besides removing all dirt with shovel
and by thorough drenching with water,
abundance of carbolic acid and lime
should be sprinkled inside and outside
the shed to keep it pure and free from
disease germs.
A LUMBER wagon makes good crib
for corn that is to be fed out to the

The Profit In Live Stock.

Planting for cattle will certainly be
a popular industry this summer, in
view of the present high prices for
most kinds of meat, and this will be
peculiarly profitable to those living
within a short distance of large mar
kets, where the cattle can be sold di-
rect to the retail butchers, instead OF
going into the hands of the middleman.
A great deal of the high prices that
consumers pay for meat never goes
to the growers at all, and the profits
are frequently no higher for them
when cattle meat p selling high than
when low. That this is wrong sys-
TEN no one doubts. The chief thing is
to study how to avoid il.

Turn the Eggs Frequently.

No matter how eggs may be kept or
preserved for future use, they must be
turned over at least three times week,
and the oftener the better. This is
not done to assist in preventing decom-
position, but to avoid having the yollis
adhere to the shell. The yollls al
ways float on the white, AM do not
sink, as is supposed 1t will soon
fasten to the shell if too long in ono
position, the result being that even
when the eggs are good and perfectly
free from any faint of decomposition,
the yolk, in closely adhering to the
she'll, gives the appearance of the egg
being stale, thus reducing the price,

the successful experimenter with this
simple trap describes it: They don't
crawl in the hole, but as soon as they

the hole becomes too full, and to re-
plenish the water and coal oil in the

should be poured on the line once

after each rain. The mouth OF the
hole should be kept smooth If is

II Is the Good Feeder That Sets the Best

To get quick growth on pig, first
get she right kind of stock, then feed
plenty of various kinds of food and
give a good, roomy pen. Some hog
rasers have the best stock obtainable,
but they do not succeed in getting
them as large at certain age as 9th
ers. The most of the hogs that are
raised in our country have enough good
blood in them to make a fast growth
il properly cared for, but we all have
SO much pushing work on the farm
that we neglect our hogs more than
anything else on the place. If we ex-
pect good results we must do our part,
and when we do this we will be
profited by it. We often notice in
litter of pigs one or two small ones
and we generally know why they are
smaller than the others-because they
do not get their share of milk from the
dam. When we see pig that is get
ting behind the rest we should man
age some way to feed it and keep it
growing right along, for just as it be-
comes stunted we will find it a poor
feeder. 1t never will grow as fast as
the others. This is why some breeders
have an uneven lot of pigs. After the
pigs are weaned, and we begin to feed
them, we will find the larger ones
crowding the smaller ones away from
