Cultivate Diuestive Power.

The ability to digest its food proper
ly is. after all, the most important and
necessary characteristic of any really
valuable animal. 1t is possible to in
crease digestive power, and it can be
done even before birth, by seeing to it
that the dam bearing young is always
supplied with good, nutritious food in
proper quantities. A SOW with pigs which
is kept in cold quarters and poorly fed
will almost certainly drop two or more
runts in her litter 1t is hard work
making runt pay its keep. The extra
food it gets would have paid much bet
ter if fed to an animal properly born.
All young animals have weak digestion.
If they are never allowed to sprfeit
themselves, this will grow stronger. BY
the time pig is or months old 1t
will make faster growth, though not in
proportion to its size, than it did first.
1t is a larger animal and can digest
food that 1t could not while il was
younger Cultivator.

Lay the bottle ON the table upon Its

uninitiated will blow until they get red

come out Of the bottle instead OF going

too. The direction of the air forced by
the one blowing brings it against the
bottom of the bottle. The air congresses

BREEDING ON SHARES.
A Noted Breeder Believes the Plan
Mutually Profitable.

I. F. B. Sotham, the noted Missouri
Hereford breeder, In letter to The
Breeders Gazette declares the share
system to be profitable to the man lend
ing the cattle. 1t is like taking sheep
TO double. The profits are largely in ia
vor of the man owning the sheep. The
experience of James A. Gibson, Mis-
souri, Hereford breeder, should be of in
terest to every one desiring to start a
herd by the investment Of moderate
rum of money. In recent letter Mr..
Gibson says:
Il started with bull and heifer in
1898 and have 6 females and four bulls
at present, all from those two. | have
b-1ght four females since. but have
paid for them with money | sold my
bulls for. 1t seems slow way TO get a
start, but had not the money that |
cared TO spare for more. | now have a
fair start to grow into a herd. "
There are plenty of Herefords for sale
in this country as low as 800, and
among these low priced Herefords are
some splendidly bred animals. The low
price named need not scare any one,
| fol many of the very best Herefords fell
into the hands Of parties who got them
at price that enables them to sell
