Notes From Texas Farm and Ranch.
If you want runt pigs wean them
early and feed them lightly. You can
raise runts successfully.
Every up to date farmer should be
his own seed improver. To improve
seed is entirely practicable, but re-
quires some know how and some do
how.
There are many new crops and new
methods that are great improvements
over the old. Every progressive farm
or should devote a portion of his time
to experimental work.
One expensive abomination often
seen on farms is wide mouthed well
inside the barn or near enough to be-
come foully contaminated by drainage
from stables or manure heaps.
In buying fancy farm seeds at fancy
prices require satisfactory evidence
that the seed is genuine and true to
name and see that 1t is thus assured
by known and competent authority.
