Selection and
Care OF Swine

Discussing the selection Of boar pigs
to be used in developing herd of
swine. Mr.. f. d. Spaulding said before
the Kansas Improved Stock Breeders
association: At weaving time the boar
pigs should be separated from the
gifts. and, if possible, put into q pas
ture with plenty Of water, shade and
grass. This pasture should be away
from any other lot or pasture where
other hogs run. 1t would be better to
have all the pigs in one lot than to
have them in adjoining pastures. By
being together they become acQuaint-
ed, but if separated by fence they
will fight through it, become restless,
stop eating and so to fretting or root
ing. When they get to that state the
only thing to do is to put them into
small pen, each one separate from 9th
ers, where they cannot see or hear
other hogs. After pigs have been run
ming together it is a bad plan to put
other pigs into the same lot; it will
always stir up the whole drove.
AS to feed, the pasture, if of clover
or blue grass, will form large part of
their ration, no matter what you may
give them. Corn is the grain most used
in this or any other corn producing
country and, when used with grass and
oats and shorts and milk, makes the
ideal feed for pigs. With these breed
er can raise his boar pigs SO they will
be useful to the buyer.

west and are also we'll thought of in

sug=estions In Road Building.

Suggestions In Road Building.
1t is desirable for many reasons to
preserve the natural dirt road along
side and parallel to the surfaced road
where possible.
A common but erroneous impression
prevails that when a road is once
macadamized, graveled or surfaced
with any hard material it is then fin
shed and must endure forever. An
improved road needs constant attens
ZION, and unless this is given in a sys
9ematic manner like the railroads the
road will rut, ravel, disintegrate and
so to ruin.
It seems wise to recommend, particu-
Early for level country where material
Is scarce, the building of macadam and
gravel roads from eight to ten feet
wide. Some will say: These roads
are not wide enough. How will two
loads Of hay pass on an eight foot
E0ad?" The answer is: 1.-TWO loads Of
hay seldom meet Usually both are
going to the same market at about the
came time. SO it is useless to con-
8truct a road to meet a condition which
geldom arises" Of course these widths
are only for strictly country roads,
upon level lands, where it is easy to
surn out On main highways, where
&Eavel is extensive, a width of at leas
gixteen feet should be maintained

Brisk Gait May Be Taught During

Some foals inherit a fast watkins

pressed that a fast walk is expectel,
and when so hammered it will natural
~ work up to it's educated speed. Tne
attribute established in the process OF
breaking will likely become permanent.
The evil of slow walking farm horses
emphasizes not only less amount
of work performed, but the actual loss
of time of high priced hired help. a
fast walking pair of horses will ac-
complish nearly as much as two slow
walking pairs, and in much of the
work the performance is more salts
factory 1t is wonderful the difference
in the amount of work that will thus
be accomplished in a day by horses
that walk quicker as compared with
those that do not, and this difference
will be apparent in almost every line
of work
1t will be noticed in cultivating corn,
in drawing the binder and mower in
moving and in drawing loads Of hay
from the field and returning to the
same. In some instances slow gated
horses are just what the men require
who work them, but the farmer should
see to it that neither workmen nor
horses should be allowed to go at the
snaiIs pace on the farm, more espe-
cially at seasons of the year when
work is pressing.

Preparing Land For Wheat.

Where the ground is to be plOwed for
wheat It is essential that it be done
early in the season even if the ground
"a dry and the blowing little hard.
nave seen men wait because the ground
was dry and hard for a rain until late
n the fall, and about nine times out of
ten they fail to get crop. There is no
crop that the average farmer grows
shat requires more skill than does
wheat. The nature Of the wheat plant
must be studied and then everything
possible be done to make it's abiding
place congenial. The seed bed for
wheat must be fine, firm and covered
with a blanket of fine earth in which
10 deposit the seed. These instructions
have been given so often that it seems
almost useless to repeat them.
The amount of work to be done up
on a field after it has been plowed will
to certain extent be governed by the
weather, but seldom is a field worked
too much. 1t is a good plan after the
3eld looks as if it is in perfect condition

usually this extra work that makes the
