Pig Pork.

Among the many radical changes in
farm management during the Inst quarter
of d century there are few that have
brought the farmer greater profit than
that of marketing pigs at or months
old, instead of keeping them three times
as long. The best market demand at
present is for good, fat pigs, and they
command the highest price. 1t has been
demonstrated over and over again, that
the cost per pound increases with the age
of the pig, and so it is in the line of econo-
my to push the pigs from the start and
sell eally.. l have no data to determine
exactly what the saving il, but | venture
the assertion that ton Of pork can be
made from pigs 6 to ! mouths old. for
oile-third less money than from mature
hogs, says Waldo f. BROWN in Practical
Farmer. Probably the best reason can
give for this is, that in adding 100 pounds
to the weight of pig after it reaches 200
pounds, YOU must furnish food for sup
port to repair the waste of the 200
pounds while adding the extra weight.
Again, the gain in the first place is made
up of growth as we'll as fat to a much
greater extent than when hogs near ma
turity are fed. The risk of loss from
disease is reduced at least in proportion
to the shortest time the hogs are fed,
and l believe even more than this, for
find it easier to keep young growing hogs
thrifty than those of mature age. There
is also a saving in labor, for every farmer
knows that there is a large amount of
hard work in feeding hogs that must be
attended to every day, and it Is much
easier to feed 200 days than 400.

great secret of successful feeding is never

cheaper to feed some grain even to stock

hens are enough for a single house. If
more are kept they will be in each 9TH

eating or other bad habits do not become
contagious among them. The most inn
portant thing about the location of the
poultry houses is that all the land around
them shall be underdrained. This will
enable the plow OF cultivator to be used
almost any time when the ground is lin-
frozen. Drained land is much dryer for
poultry than the hillside or knoll which
is often recommended for that purpose, ].
