HINTS FOR STOCkMEN,

Steady, judicious feeding is what
pays.
Keep the best stock and use it to raise
better.
Feed bran in connection with ground
grain or cut feed.
Excessive growth or fattening is at
great expense of food.
The quality of the meat is improved
by the feeding of sound, wholesome,
nutritious food in clearly manner.
Don't forget that if you raise the
right kind of stock buyers will hunt
you up. If the wrong kind, you must
hunt the buyer.
While there is not = large per cent. Of
nutriment in corn-cob meal, yet when
mixed with the corn meal it lessons
the liability to pack in the stomach.
From now on the bedding in the
hogs sleeping quarters should be
changed regularly every ten days or
two weeks, in order to secure proper

two, likewise, keeps the larger size out.
BY putting feed in for the smaller ones
first, they all come in that pen and the
door drops; then I feed the next size
In like manner, and so on, till all are
fed. In this way they may all run in
the same clover field and yet have the
same chance at the trough. It is also
very desirable to have a trough that
they cant get their feet in, or crowd
each other out.
This trough is made as shown and
described, and should be made to suit
the size of the hogs; even little pigs
can be made to stand up side by side
and eat and drink without getting
their feet in the trough, and 1t il
funny to see them do so.
A look at this cut explains the
trough, except that Stats, to keep the
pigs from crowding each other, are
not shown. It is a nice sight indeed
to see 40 or so hogs side by side
eating like so many horses in stalls.

1t is impossible for any kind of stock
to do it's best or make the greatest prod
uct on grass alone. In dry June when
grass is at it's best it is for mich cows

days even in June when cows are at pas
ture when a feed made of wheat bran
and oatmeal with warm water, so az to
make thin Cruel, will not be greedily
eaten and add to the product both of

knows, grass is tabooed for any horse

Perhaps few words about feeding
will not be amiss. I care not whether
you are feeding the little pig, the
middle-sized pig or the big pig, you
should feed swill of some kind. Now
the hog is the nastiest thing about
eating that lives. He is wasteful, too.
He will get his snout and all four feet
in the feed if he can, no difference
how dirty they are. And that isn't all,
he will tramp the food around and
waste all he can.
Knowing this, it behooves US to give
him plenty of good, clean food and
make him keep it clean, and give him
a clean bed, if we expect him to be a
profitable hog. I have felt like kill

One can add to the length Of this house
as needed, indefinitely, and hold to

that you can put the feed in all along
the length and have all one side to your

comes with using it. You see, the
pigs can't get their feet in the feed
and can't crowd each other or stand
with side to the trough to keep others
out, but must stand up and eat as SO
