Hog Raising and Feeding. !

tPolo GID Pfess.l
Every farmer who knows Jesse Fry
of Woosung, Ogle county, will admit
that he is successful hog breeder Mr..
Fry is not tied to any particular breed.
but he wants to raise the hog that Will
make him the most money. He keeps
mainly Chester Whites and occasionally
by using a Poland-Ch boar makes a
cross in his herd He prefers Chester
Whites because they have more rapid
growth than other breeds. They are
larger boned and grow heavier and
that is what the hog raiser wants.
Some people say bone is not meat and
therefore the hog with less bone and
more meat is the better but Mr.. Fry
can not see why this should make any
difference to the breeder so long as
Chester Whites sell for as much as
smaller boned breeds. Mr. Fry aims
to have his SONS farrow in March and
April Later than these months is too
late. He thinks 1t good plan TO let
pigs have grass to eat thru the sum-
mer months, but does not believe in
feeding them green corn for the reason
that green corn is not any more a pro-
per feed for hogs than green apples are
for people. He always plans to have
old corn to feed until husking time.
He feeds corn literally to his hogs
not so much that they will waste it but
enough to satisfy their hunger. Mr..
Fry does not make practice of feed
ing soaked corn. Corn that has been
soaked few hours may be all right but
after it has been soaked about twelve
hours ii commences to sour. and sour
corn. he claims. is injurious feed for
hogs. They may seem to thrive on
sour feed but they will thrive better on
sweet, clean feed

Packing Apples in Iowa.

An apple well packed is half sold.
Proper picking is the frs essential
Some pick in grain sacks with a wire
hoop to keep the mouth OF the sack
open. A strap is attached to the lower
end of the sack. passed over The should
er of the picker and fastened by snap
in ring at the mouth of the sack. In
emptying the strap is unsnnpped, and
the mouth of the sack is lowered. This
is very handy way to pick apples, but
apples bruise more or less in a sack
and for this reason a bucket or basket
is preferable. The half bushel basket
with drop bail, is largely used IN COM
mercial apple sections, and is probab
ly the best vessel for picking apples.
Last fall the writer visited the great
Mills county apple region in southwest
ern Iowa during the apple packing sea-
son. and observed the methods of worn.
There were two packing houses. where
the fruit was taken from the wagons,
and packed at once in barrels. The
number of apples rejected was aston
ishiEg. amounting in some cases to
nearly one half. Almost all of this
great loss was due to the cooling moth,
which causes fruit to ripen premature
ly and drop from the tree, as we'll as
on the tree. Little has been done to
combat this very destructive pest 1t
is an established fact, however, that 1t
pays to spray, and it Is certain that
an orcharding can never be very sue
cessful where the cooling moth makes
culls out of II large share of the crop.
Many orchardists pile their apples in
the orchard and barrel them there.
This is undoubtedly the best method
for large growers. since it obviates the
bruising caused by hauling loose apples
in wagons.
They are first poured onto the grad
Ing chute and allowed to roll down to
the narrow opening al the lower end.
Here the culls are rejected and the
good apples are allowed to drop into
the barrel. Two layers of extra fin,
apples are first placed in the barrel,
blossom ends down, and then dlled, with
occasional shakings, to settle the fruit.
until the apples project three or four
inches above the chine. The end of
the barrel is then forced down TO its
place with a screw press. One would
think that SO much pressure would
bruise the apples badly, but II does not,
and it is necessary to keep apples from
shaking loose After heading the bar
rels are turned over and marked on the
bottom end, which now and 'henceforth
is considered the top.
The Ben Davis is the leading variety
in southwestern Iowa; Jonathan rank
ing next Missouri Pippin, Winesap
and Grimes Golden are also leading
varieties. The last named is OF very
fine quality ranking next to Johna-
than in that respect.

DsMocEa1ic FACTS AND FACTS.

The democratic Dubuque Telegraph
asserts:
Here are facts. The governor AMI
his associates of the executive council
instructed assessors to assess real
property Al its actual value. which WAS
defined TO be the actual value in the
market in the. ordinary course of trade.
AT the time of such assessments Iowa
farm realty was al its highest value.
al what may be defined the boom value.
The assessments were made, therefore,
on this boom value
1t is noteworthy that such demo-
cratic facts" differ radically from the
real facts The council itself cid not
raise land assessments al all. 1t in
structed the local assessors that the
law required them 10 assess at actual
value and because OF marked advances
that have taken place in the values OF
farm lands the local assessors figures
returned an advance in the assessment.
These figures were equaliZed b. the
council as between counties. the ,ecord
of actual sales being followed, but for
fear that recent prices might be boom
prices mean of so per cent of the act
ual sales figures was taken as a base
line and to this each county wss adj
justed. The result was total rracti-.

counties. What democrat would sell his
farm today for so per cent OF last

If a separate house is built for the
