Happiness In Work.

Some people dream OF happiness rs

But the true way to find happiness is as

South Africa saw some bows playing mar

THE HOGS IN SUMMER.

The first milking of cow after ca1v-
ing will kill a SOW that Is in way to-
bring forth litter of pigs.
A plug of tobacco as large as mans
thumb will cause commissions, and
death will result in a few hours.
Every farmer should know that half
a. pint of cotton seed meal will kill any
hog, young or old, if he eats it, says
Farmers Advocate.
A hogs stomach is not strong enough
to digest much sweet stuff without a.
feed of sour apples or sour milk or SINH
lar ratfons occasionally.
Study the market situation closely:
Prolonged dry weather will sur>Iyy
mean enhanced value to many farm
products Know the value of what
you have to sell and then try to get it.
The time to begin feeding a pig to
get the most profit out of it is the day
of it's birth A little attention to feed
ing the pig given some six months or so
previous would not be missing it so far.
Pigs are sensitive to cold, and the
late filters should be protected, as also
the early spring pigs. If milk is not
plentiful, make a porridge and add to it.
Raw meal is not suitable for young
pigs.

roosts to be at least two inches wide
and placed about Is inches above the

should be placed on one side only, so
that there will be no draft in summer

and use the door or windows for VEN

wire which is formed into loop near
one end, with the shorter end formed
into a screw to aid in inserting it in
the wooden roost. The longer end is
not bent to it's final position until
after the screw is inserted into the
wood, when the loose end is twisted
into the location shown below the
roost. It is an easy matter to attach
a small rag or piece Of sponge to the
depending end with any liquid vermi-
eide, and the vaporizing of this liquid
will serve not only to keep the vernin

drive the lice from the bodies OF the

feathers when the birds are on the

GREEN FOOD FOR PIGS.
They Need 1t from Spring to Autumn
and Then Should Be Finished
on Grain Ratfons

No one is In position to grow pigs
with great profit unless he can provide
pasture or green forage of some kind
for his animals. They need this from
spring to autumn, and then they go
to grain for finishing. In this eonnec-
ton the following experiment Is inter-
esting--the idea being to see whether
a portion Of the grass Or fbrous food fed
In conjunction with corn meal was not
more healthful and profitable than the
meal without any other admixture. TAX
ing litter of six pigs, five weeks old,
1t was divided into two lots as nearly
equal in weight and thrift as possible,
says Massachusetts Plowman.
One lot was kept in a pen and fed
upon corn meal soaked in water II
hours, while the other lot was
fed upon green clover, cut short,
and mixed with corn meal. At
first only one quart Of this cut clover
was fed each pig, with all the meal they
would eat This meal being mixed with
clover, the particles were separated, and
when eaten went to the stomach in a
spongy condition, so that the gastric
Juice could penetrate the mass, as wa
ter does sponge. The juice being able
to come in contact with all the food
very quickly, digestion is soon accom-
plished.
This lot Of pigs, with the clover and
meal, were always lively always ready
for their food, while the other lot with
meal alone, ate greedily for time, then
became dainty for few days, showing
feverish state of the system, con-
tenting themselves for few meals with
water, until, by fasting, they got over
their indisposition, and went on feed
ing again This was repeated many
times during the five months that the
experiment lasted. At the end of that
time the two lots were weighed.
The lot fed on meal alone scaled $50
pounds each, the other lot 30 pounds
each, or 40 per cent. for being treated as
grass-eating animals. Each lot con-
sumed the same amount of meal. The
clover in this case was given in small
quantity, and intended merely to act
as a divider for the meal. The amount
never exceeded two quarts of cut clover
at meal
