The Feed of Pigs.

To make a profit from hogs it is
necessary to feed them right when
young. 1t must be duly considered
that the careful scientific expert
ments of several agricultural expert
ment stations, notably the Missouri
station when under the direction of
Prof. Sanborn, have shown that a
pound of gain can be put on pig
weighing 80 10. or less with one-half
the feed required to put pound of
gain on a hog weighing 400 10. These
experiments gave so near the same
results that we are forced to con-
clude that the results are correct.
And they will certainly not be dis
puted by careful feeders that have
given the matter attention, of course
making frequent use of the scales.
II pound of gain can be put on the
young pig with one-half the expense
of feed that Is required to make the
same gain when the animal is ma
ture, one need not argue about the
Importance of the careful and lib
eral feeding of pigs. A fair profit
can rarely be made IL the pigs are
stinted, while it is equally plain that
the time for making profit is when
the swine are young.
If liberal, judicious feeding is
given from the start, the pig 8 to lC
months old will have weight OF
$50 to 800 To-, and be ready for mar
ket; and there is probably more
money in pig marketed at this age
and weight than at any Other-cer.
tainly than at a greater age OIL
weight. But to have pig fit fol
market aud of the required weight
at the age specified, good feeding
from the start is necessary.
The pig stinted in its feed when
young is stunted, and such a pig
will not make as much gain from a
certain quantity of feed as a pig
we'll fed. Scant or improper feeding
incurs disadvantage that causes q
loss of time and n waste of feed.

Don't keep dosing your sheep for
little ailments. About nine times in
ten when sheep get off their feed,
the best thing to do is to keep them
off for day or two longer If their
appetite does not return. A good
many sheep have been killed by
feeding them sulpur alone. This is
Just hint.
The average price of sheep was
higher last year than for several
years before. The appetite for NUT
ton is greater now than ever before.
There is no reason to think that the
prices this year will fall below those
of the one just past.
There is always good demand for
lamb with green peas in June and
July. Consult your own interest.
Get good coarse wool bucks to breed
to your ewes and have two lambs to
sell instead of one.
Don't waste feed. II is wasteful
feeding that reduces profits. To feed

more than will be eaten with a good
appetite is waste.

Keep plenty of salt where the sheep

Don't feed heavy grain ration:
near Landing time. 1t puts the ewes
into a feverish condition, and this il
the very thing that should b,
avoided.
Feed a light grain ration in con
nection with good hay, clover is tn,
best, and you may expect good stronI
lambs.

May Make II an Orphan Home.
1t Is not improbable that the soldiers
home property, which was knocked down
to Joel Hurt, at the rdiculously low price
of IS, 900 last week by the court officers
who sold it under directions of the court,
will be converted into an orphans home
by the Baptsts of the state. A move
ment in this direction has been inaugural
ed her through DR.. a. r. Spalding and
other Baptist ministers who have been in
terested in the orphans home question for
some tine.
No definite steps have yet been taken,
but the ministers with whom the idea orig
mated say they are very hopeful of secur-
ing the property which would be admira-
bly, adapted to such a use.
