THE CRY FOR BONE.
Care in Feeding and Judicioux
Treat me mt Are Necessary.

We hear a heap about bone in hogs,
a little about it. If some of those who
write about more bone and how to
get it would think little more their
articles would not mislead so much.
We are told over and over, says the
National Stockman, and many people
actually believe, that the modern hog
is deficient in bone" and that we
must turn to some big, coarse-boned
strain to correct this defect.
There are two kinds of deficiency in
bone. One is n lack of quantity and
the other is lack of quality. There
are few domestic animals that have
too little Ss0ne, but there are many
that have too weak bone. The way
to improve the bone is not to breed
to increase its size but to feed to in
crease it's strength. In so dong the
size will be increased somewhat. Ra-
tional care will also do much 10 i'm
prove the quality Of bone. The brood
sows and the sire should have plenty
OF exercise, they should be fed we'll
balanced foods, they should have ac-
cess to the earth or to substitutes
therefore. With this kind of treat
ment there is little danger of raising
hog without bone enough to support
all the meat he ought to carry. And
with this kind of treatment the mod
ern American type-the best that has
yet been produced from both the pro.
ducer's and the killers standpoint
can be preserved. A violent cross for
bone is not necessary for the man
who will study the feeding and care OF
| hogs.

Egg-eating might be called the trick
of an idle hen. Male birds seldom, if
ever, learn to eat eggs, and hens that
are compelled to work hard all day for
their food seldom contract the egg
eating habit. If better care were given
th' l,L- IA over the country the waste
that goes on would pay the debt of one
state a year, if it could be saved.
Thousands that die might be saved !;
many tons Of food that are now wasted
could be saved, and so many eggs are
frozen, eaten by hens, and lost under
barns and outhouses, that il saved
would make US Midland Farmer.

In point of feed it costs less 10
maintain and mature a thoroughbred
or high grade steer than scrub; no
more space for shelter is required
for the one than the other, but the
one of good blood can be put into
marketable shape earlier, presents a
better appearance and commands a
higher market price than the scrub
And aside from a consideration OF
relative financial results there is q
great deal more pleasure in caring
for neat, compact, thrifty and hand

WHAT AIS THE p1Gs7
Answered to the satisfactioa
of Anxious Inquirers.

Pigs get out of fix and it is usually
through some disarrangement of the
stomach. There are some general
rules that should be observed at all
times for the purpose of protecting
the health Of the Nerd. A profitable
hog that is ready and eager to eat
must, therefore, be a healthy hog.
A great deal of the trouble with pigs
and hogs is occasioned by constipa-
tion. This is the beginning of their
troubles that later are not so easily
removed, says American Swineherd.
1t is therefore one of the first
things in looking after your hogs
health to prevent constipation. OF
course, hog may be all right in the
bowels and yet become afflicted. But
it is the exception and not the rule.
1t takes vigilance at all times to pre-
serve the health of the hog. Adopt
cleanly methods about the pens and
! feeding troughs. Have dry place
for them to sleep in. Don't expose
them TO orsuxr,s n Jssu T;ssp:lg
! quarters. Don't overfeed. Don't
make sudden changes of feed. Give
them charcoal and ashes or charred
cobs. Spread lime around their sleep
! ing quarters and feed troughs.
When a pig is off his feed there is
something wrong, and you want to get
him back there as quick as possible.
Don't do it by trying to force him TO
eat. On the other hand, take away
his feed and if constipated give him n
physic. Look out for worms, prevent
lice, provide him with plenty Of fresh
water, plenty Of salt and ashes, plen.
ty of range and if he gets sick the
percentage of exceptions are small.
The sick hog is an Improbable hog
IL you doctor him it costs money, il
costs time and it causes loss of gair
in the hog. 1t takes a great deal OF
extra feed to get him started again to
the point where his health failed him
Therefore it is far better to spend {
little time in preventing these alment!
by careful watchfulness.

Often it is caused by indigestible food,

1t is more often caused by fit OF in

by injection of warm soapsuds accom-

Shredded Corn for Horses.

Tests of shredded corn fodder az
feed FOR horses have been made at
several experiment stations, and the
estimate varies at from 50 to 100 per
cent. value compared with timothy
the usual standard. At the Vermont
station corn fodder gave as good re-
suits as timothy with work stock.
For idle horses it proved TO be rath-
er more indigestible than timothy.
In this, however, all tests agree:
Corn fodder is altogether too valua.

up IN the field, as is the custom in
the southwest.

Wafer supply for HOgs.

Very few farmers realize the im-
portance Of giving hogs all the pure
water they require at times. In
many places they are watered once
or twice day. The lots and pas
lures should be so arranged that
the hogs can get to the water trough
whenever they desire It. This is es-
pecially important during the hot
days .of early spring, as well rs the
excessively hot weather in August
Hogs will not do well without plen-
" of water.
