A WINTER FOOD FOR HOGS

CORRESPONDENCE of the Progressive Farmer.
Corn and clover are the ideal foods
for hoge. The breeder and fattener can
not get along without both. Each has
a function to perform in the economy
of the hog that cannot be overlooked.
Corn is necessary for fattening and
finishing eff the hogs, and the clover is
just as needful for spring and summer
feed ing. More than this, the clover is
a winter food, and-the more We recog-
MIA this the better it will be for the
hogs and the better for u pocket
books. Glover hay is almost as good o
winter food for the swine as fresh
clover is for summer. Fed to the hogs
in winter along with corn we get al
most the ideal ration for the hogs, and
there is little chance Of sickness.
The man who raises corn, clover and
hogs need adopt no other lire Of farm
ing. He has his hands full and the
three go together go well that he need
not add a third crop to them. Even
the fertility of the soil can be kept up
with these three products go there will
be little or no de generation in it. By
curing plenty Of clover hay for winter
use, We secure at the came time a
cheap food and one that keeps up the
health Of the hCgs better than if they
had corn alone. A liberal~supply of
this clover hay stacked away for win
ter use will enable g farmer to winter
his hogs at e cost much lower than an
other who depends chr fly upon corn
and scraps. There are methods Of
feeding the clover hay that will tend
to improve itg value By making the
swine relish it more, and more study
and experiment along this line wills
eventually help US.
The leaves and chef of the clover
hay formerly made a considerable
Item of waste. These today are fed to
the hogs By mixing them up with q
small amount OF bran and middliogs,
and then soaking them over night in
water. L9t the water be hot when
poured in, and then feed when cold.
The hogs relish this mixture and eat it
greediIy the next morning When ell
the loose leaves and chaf have been
ueed up in this way, the clover hay
can be cut up and soaked and mixed
with middlings. bran or cracked CORD.
Stops from the kitchen intended for
the hogs a be mixed with the clover
hay or leaves instead Of bran and mid
dlings. All that is required is some
kind of concentrated food to give the
clover hay a more palatable and moist
taste. This can be obtained in a vari-
ETY. of ways, and one may prove al
most as beneficial as another. The
hogs should not be allowed to fill up
upon this, but a certain proper tion
e. 2uld be given every day in c1nnec
ton with corn or some OF it's products.

For 20 years Dr.. Hathaway has confined his
practice almost exclusively to diseases of men,
and during that time he has restored more men
to health, VigOT, usefulness and happiness than
any ten other doctors in the country combined.
DR.. Hathaway treats and cures by a method
entirely his own. discovered and perfected by
himself and used exclusively by him. Loss OF
Vitality, NaTicOCele, Structure, Blood Poisoning
in its different stages, rheumatism, Weak Back,
all manner of urinary complaints, Ulcers, Sores
and Skin Diseases, Brights Disease and alifOTmS
of Kidney Troubles. His treatment for under
toned men restores lost vitality and makes the
patient a strong, well, vigorous man.
DR.. HathaWay'S success in the treatment of
NaricOcelG and Structure without the aid OF knife
OF cauteTy is phenomenal. The patient is treat
ed by this method at his own home without pain
OF loss of time from business. This IS positively
the only treatment which cures without an OpGr-
alton. DR.. Hathaway calls the particular atten-
ton of sufferers from NaricOC6le and Structure to
pages q, Is, %, 80 and 81 of his new book.
Every case taken by Dr.. Hathaway is specially
treated according to its nature, all under his gen.
eTal erSOnalSuperviSiOn and all remedieSuSed by
him are prepared epureStaDd beStdrugS in
his own laboratories under his personal oversight.
DR.. Hathaway makes no charge. for CODSultd-
ton or advice, either at his office or by mail, and
when a case IS taken the one low fee covers all
cost of medicines and professional services.
Dr. Hathaway always prefers, when tits posi-
bic, to have his patients call on him for at least
cured scores of thousands of patients in all sec
lions of the world whom he has never seen. His
System of Home Treatment is so perfected that
he can bring about a cure as surely and speedily
as though the patient called daily at his office.
