PIGS FOR

bow to Realize the Highest Price at
Least Cost of Production.
In rearing pigs for market We should
have a definite objectin view. This OBJ
ject should be to produce the pig that
viii realize the highest price in the
market at the least cost fer production.
As a rule, the shorter breeds of pigs can
be produced at less cost than the long
er-sided fellows. The greater distance
the e~xtremities are from the heart, the
greater will be the food required to
maintain the animal in life. In select
ingsthe breed, see hat the male animal
has a good pedigree, that he is a typical
animal of the breed he represents, that
he is descended from animals that have
been in the habit of producing large
filters, and that he is we'll developed
for his age. The sow should be select
ed for rapid development, regular
breeding, producing large filters, and
gentle disposition. The brood sow
should be retained for several years, as
old sows produce stronger pigs. She
should be allowed to raise two filters
annually. If we wish to have vigor-
Gus, healthy young pigs, the brood sow
should be carefully fed. During sum-
mer there is no trouble, as the sow
usually has sufficient variety in her
food. With the early spring pigs there
is often heavy loss from the fact that
the sows r given too concentrated
a food and not sufficient variety. No
une variety of grain contains all the ele-
ments of animal life in the proper pro-
portion. Many farmers feed their
brood sows largely on peas during the
winter, with the result that the young
pigs are fiabby and weak, and very
often live but a few hours. Milk. roots
and oat chops, bran or shorts, with ac-
cess to earth or sods, make a well-bal-
anced ration, and should give good re-
suits if the SOW has exercise daily

WHAT HAY is FOB.

A Negro HostIer Surprised to Learn That
Horses Ate 1t.
Stiles Judson, Jr., has a new story. It
is true, because he had to pay the doc
tors bill. A short time ago he hired a
colored hostler, and for awhile the
horses under the new mans care pros
pered amazingly. Then they showed
signs of lassitude, and one of them act
ed as if he had the malaria. A veter-
mary was called in, and after he ex-
amined the animals he turned to the
new hostler and asked him what he fed
the horses on.
Goats, sah," said the darkey.
Don't you give them anything else
but oats ?" asked the veterinary.
"Nothin' but oats and pure watah,
sah," said the darby, who, it was evil
dent from his answer was convinced
that he at least was not to blame for the
condition of the animals.
Don't you ever give the horses cut
hay?" was the next query.
"Hayi" shouted the astonished ne
gro. "Fo' de lan's sake, does bosses eat
hay?"-Bridgeport Farmer.

If the eve was not q good mother
last season, that should be enough to
warrant her disuse as a breeder.
Breed stylish driving horses by using
Thoroughbred, good formed sires, and
you will find a market for them.
No flock of sheep can be carried
through the winter wholly on dry feed
without sickness developing. This il
so plain a fact that the remedy should
be applied.
We may have the best breed Of SWINE
In the world, but we shall not get the
hest results from it unless we feed skill
fully. We must master the science of
feeding.
Cook the potatoes and feed them to
swine with meal. we would say to a sub
scriber They may be fed raw, how
' 1t is better to feed potatoes than
to sell them at present prices.
In winter time it stands to reason
that warm feed and water are better
for the animal than cold feed and
water. When given warm there is no
draft upon the heat of the system tc

siIage Ration for Horses.

It is not the general practice to feed
silage to horses, but in numerous cases
it has been fed to them with success.
When silage was first introduced nu-
merous instances occurred OF injury re-
sulting from feeding it to horses. This
was probably due to giving too large
an amount for the small stomach of the
horse. This caused coiic, or some sim
liar trouble. The writer knows of sew
eral cases where horses nave died when
fed silage, but it could not be demon
strated that the siiage was at fault,
though suspicion pointed that way.
This food, when very acid, should be
fed to horses only in a limited way. In
discussing this question, Stewart notes
that there have been many fatal cases
of stable horses eating too much grass.
Evidence is quite as strong that grass
has caused fatal resuItsas oftena as silage.
The change from dry feed to grass o.
silage must be very gradual Stewart
fed silage 10 our horses for two winters,
adopting the same precautions as he
would in feeding grass. the results be-
ing quite satisfactorv.@C. s. Plumb, in

In the year 1894, the De Kalb Fence Co.,
of De Kalb, H., doubled the capacity for
producing their lines over 1893 which gave
them an output of 90 miles per day. The
demand for their goods has been so great
the past season, that in order to be able to
supply their trade, they have been com.
PEELED this year to double the capacity Of
1891, which now gives them an output OF 80
miles per day.
This in itself speaks well for their prod
uct and merits the attention and inspection
of readers and all that arein need Of smooth
wire fencing Of any kind. twill be to your
interest to write for their catalogue, which
describes in detail their goods. comprising

EnsILAaE FOR HOGS.
frsf. Henry Says That It Is Not . Yer
Profitable Ratian.

E8As n0ALI 6nI6 AlA1$ - ~
Profitable Ratien.
At the experiment station we have re-
peatedly tried to use corn silage. and
in two instances clover silage, for hog
food, says Prof. Henry, in the Breed
ers' Gazette. but always with III or nc
success. Reports have been current
from time TO time of the successful
feeding OF silage for hogs. but | do
not know of anyone who continues
such feeding. 1t is entirely possible
that hogs otherwise starved will eat
considerable silage, but it certainly
would not be a profitable practice.
What farmer would think of combining
his hogs to a lot without other food and
throwing them green corn only, run
through a feed-cutter, ears and all, and
expect them to eat this food, make sat
isfactory gains and give profitable re-
turns therefrom? Would he not rather
expect his hogs to pick out the III
from the whole mass and largely waste
the leaves and stalks? Now. if this is
true with green corn, how much more
must it be so with the same material
after it has rested in the silo for sew
eral months? l do not believe corn
leaves and cornstalks a profitable food
for hogs in any shape.
On the other hand, l believe that a
reasonable quantity of clover tops,
taking the leaves and heads, can be sue
c~essfully used with brood sows after
the following plan: Place the finer
parts of clover hay in a barrel, pour
over the same boiling water, and when
well softened stir in the grain food re-
quired. The clover thus supplied gives
bulk to the food, and some of it will
certainly be digested. 1t is important
that stock hogs, and especially brood
sows, have feed which is bulky, in order
that the digestive tract may be well
and properly extended. All expert
enced breeders know hat it is not well
to keep brood sows or stock hogs upon
a concentrated food, the quantity sup
piled for such being small. The clover
hay, used as here described, serves a
double purpose and is much relished
by the hogs. One hog raiser in our
state always puts up clover hay es-
pecially for his hogs and is much
pleased with its use in the way de-
scribed.

placing a hinged board in the parti-

to the workshop, there being no attic

over the poultry and swine quarters. A
ring Or hook is securely fastened to the
ridge from which slaughtered pigs may
be suspended for dressing.
The poultry house is placed in the

yard is also arranged for them behind
the building, as is also a pig yard. Many
farmers keep pigs only from spring I'M
