MANAGING THE HOGS.
s.m. valuable Advice Concerning
Pauturage and Suitable Crops
for Pastures.

,ostnre will be required for 30 pigs

~ a lake shore is any advantage to
hog pasture, says Farm, Stock ano
Home. Reply to the inquiry is made
as follows: r
He does not say If they are fall
pigs or sows with litters. However
suificient good pasture is always nee
essary to successful swine raising
Small pasture lots are not profitable
unless enough in number to change
from one to another, to allow re-
growing. But the cost of fence gen
orally oyer-balances the profit. 1t is
generally claimed that one acre OF a
GOOD stand of red clover will pasture
ten hogs during the season; Dut e1-
nerience shows that this is not a
safe rule to follow, for much depends
upon the season. Red clover stands
at the head for hog pasture except
where alfalfa will grow. But II taxes
nearly two years for alfalfa to De-
come well established, and when es-
tablished It should remain for sew
eral years, thus interfering with
crop rotation, that is so desirable IN
feeding the soil or keeping up Its
fertility.
Kentucky blue grass furnishes de-
sirable pasture for sows and their
litters in April, May and part OF
June; and also in the fall months, II
parts of the farm that are not cult1-
waited, such as timber lots, creek bot
toms and lake shores are seeded with
it. But to get quick and temporary
pasture, rye and oats, or oats and
barley, sown together, one acre Will
pasture 80 fall pigs for several days.
When there is no longer danger OF
killing frost, SOW an acre of billion
dollar grass, and one of Dwarf Essex
rape. BY May IS they will pasture
80 fall pigs and some sows with their
filters, especially if one has movable
wire fence, so as to change pasture
and allow regrowing. The use OF
such fences has brought about the
possibility of great economy and
profit, and they will last, with rea-
sonable care, half mans life time.
For permanent pasture for swine,
bronze grass has proven to be of
great value, from the writer's per-
sonal observation. Hogs eat it with
great relish.
The proper temperature of water
for scalding hogs is $50 degrees; or
to ten pals Of boiling water in a
scalding vat add one pail of cold wa
ter.
Any situation that furnishes good
and wholesome water for hogs to
wallow in and drink will add to the
value of pasture. If there is no nat
ural supply of water there must be
an abundant artificial supply.

How to Ring Roofing Hor..

The farmer should ring the hogs
noses when he finds them roofing
where he does not want them to root.
Then his temper is about right to do
the work promptly and WELL We have
light rack, just large enough to hold
common-sized hogs. The top is open
and the sides and ends are made of
round. upright sticks, the size of fork
handles. Both ends open by sliding
up. We place this rack in a narrow
doorway at the stable and let hog in.
Then we pull his nose up with a slip
moose rope and put ring in the nose.
We let the hog pass out at the other
end of the rack. 1t is narrow, SO the
hog cannot turn in 1t. Have small
ring at the end of the rope making the !
slip moose tomake it close and open
easily.-Farmers' Voice. !

Green Cut Bone for Hem.

For laying hens there is nothing
equal to green cut bone. My Buff
Rocks are wonderful egg machines. 1
have not yet seen their equal. 1 feed
cut bone every day Qf have it, right
from the cutter, for old and young
fowls. In winter mix it with cut clover
soaked over night, and for grain feed
wheat or oats with occasionally lit
tie corn. In summer the fowls have
free range and can get plenty of grass
and in winter get all the cut clover
they will eat. The wheat is fed in
scratching shed foot deep with
leaves. At this season farmers and
poultrymen have pullets which they
wish to lay. A bone cutter would be
a profitable investment. The cut bone
is just what the poultry need. 1t is
cheap and saves feeding SO much grain.

Fresh vegetables for Hens.

Hens deprived of green foods will
not lay as well as when their needs in
this direction are attended to. All the
turnips, beets, carrots and roots of
all kinds, large and small, should be
saved and given them. These veg
etables and herbs are good for poultry,
COWS and hogs. They are good sub
stitute for green food for hens. Peel
ings of potatoes, turnips and veg
etables of all kinds, including apple
Feelings, should be saved for the poul-
try. Cut up fine and boiled and mixed
with mash feed for the fowls, this
furnishes them a splendid food. Such
savings will be worth dollar bushel
in winter and will do the hens more
good than they could do the hogs if fed
to them.-Eastern Shore Farmer. I,

ReforestIng waste Regions.

There is much land that will not
be again valuable for generations
except to the state. In the refor-
esting of lands the adjacent prop
erty is often as greatly benefited as
the area in forest. The state can
thus derive larger revenue from
the work than can any private indi-
vidual. The state can afford to re-
forest land even if the annual direct
income from the reforested area be
only one per cent, for the people of
the state reap other benefits from it..
No private individual can afford to
invest money with SO slight annual
returns.-Farmers' Review.

PORTABLE HOG CHUTE.
II Can he Carried Around Easily and
Adjusts Itself Readily to Any
Height OF Wagon.

To make chute to load hogs into
farm wagon, make bottom out of
one inch oak plank, 80 inches wide;
eight feet long, with two cross
pieces marked at each end, ten
inches from the end of 2x4; one
cross piece 2x4 in middle marked b
three inches wider than bottom,
with hole two inches from edge of
bottom, with two iron dogs at one
end to rest ON bottom of wagon box
marked C. The sides should be made
same length, 30 inches high with
three battens of 1x4 or Ike inch
plank, batten of same dimensions
with wagon body strap rivited on
middle batten, with thumb nut on
the end. Set on side of bottom and
screw up nut, and you have truss
that will hold any weight. An eye

one-half inch rod connected to eye
on one side, and hook on the other
to hook in an eye-bolt on the other
side, keeps the sides from being
pressed apart. If desired the bot
tom can be made the same width
and length of wagon-box, which
when taken down makes good
cover for box or rack for hauling
hogs. l consider hog chute an in
dispensable device on a well ar
ranged farm, and this one is SUI
perior to any have seen, the ma
jority being SO clumsy and heavy
that it takes two or three men to
move them. But this one can be
taken on the wagon where needed;
then it adjusts itself to any height
of wagon or any place.-W. B. Os-

may be used for ridge pole and to
nail pieces to at bottom. This COW
ering should be hinged at one side
and have rope or strap fastened to
the other and to the corresponding
side of trough, so that the cover can
be raised and held in upright posi-
ton while feed is put in and the

any length desired. Ten feet is a
convenient length. For medium
size sheep place Stats ten inches

space for each sheep. The larger

have three or four inches more, or
better still, make few extra feed

ProEress in Swine Raising,

The hog-raiser of to-day must recog-
nize himself as business man. Like
the successful business man of the Pc
Rod he must try to keep up with the
times. What would merchant expect
to gain if he tried to carry in stock
things made 20 years ago. The styles
of that period, if sold at all, would be
disposed of at an enormous loss. So
the old-style of hog will not do now.
The best only is profitable. Nor will
the styles in hogs that we have to-day
remain with US. They will change

can. keep a step in advance of the
change is the man that will pick up
the money.-Farmers' Review.

To Close Gap.

The Sunset Telephone company is
now making arrangements to close up
the long distant gap that exists between
Prosser and Pasco. Supt. Elsom of the
company is now going over the grounds
and securing necessary rights of way.
The line will be extended as soon as the
route is decided on. The Columbia will
be crossed at the railway bridge from
Kennewick to Pasco. This will give
close connections between Spokane
Walla Walla and the Sound points. The
crew is at work setting stakes at Kenne-

STATE FAIR NEWS.
Superintendents Of Various Departments
Named-Stake Races Closed.

Another meeting of the State Fair
board was held in SecretaryT. B. Gums
Office last week with all the members in
attendance. Many matters of special
Importance were considered. The pre-
MUM list was fully considered. 1t was
decided to increase the premiums about
10 per cent over last year. This can be
done easily, as there are no expensive
Improvements to be made this year.
The two stake races were closed, with
IL entries in the 2: 20 pace and IA in the
2 40 trotting. Reports were read from
county and stock exhibitors who were
here last year. All those have assured
the commission that they will be here this
year with large exhibit and other dis
tricts not then represented will be
present. A significant thing about the
exhibitions from other counties is the
various commercial bodies and county
