Whenever we hear man talking
about what fine stock he has and how
little said stock eats we begin to get
suspicious. There may be men who
have developed and maintain fine
herds or flocks with very light feed
ing, but we have thus far failed to dis-
cover them. One OF our friends used
20 be anxious TO tell how little feed II
took for him TO winter a brood SOW.
He was n beginner then, and he was
going To have whole herd that would
winter on roots and fresh air. He isn't
talking about cheap wIntcring any
more. but feeding mill feed and corn.
lie had some experience that knocked
the cheap wintering, nonfceding fool
ishness completely out OF him. lie re-
allies now that those who have such
good looking stock on extremely light
rations are likely TO underestimate
some things. The man who is looking
for good stock In order 10 save hauling
