How to Plant, Harvest and Feed to
Hogs to Best Advantage.


Hogs to Best Advantage.
[By Prof. r. A. Moore, wisconsin Elk
pertinent Station.l
Soy beans were first grown at the
wisconsin experiment station in 1899,
and each year since the acreage and
the number of varieties tested have
been increased The tests at this sta
ton have been made for the purpose of
determining their value as forage
plant and Of finding out which vari-
cites, IL any, were adapted to our soil
and climate.
Twenty nine varieties have been on
trial; of these the Michigan Green
seems especially adapted to be grown
with corn for silage. This is medium
early variety and Is noted for its height
and great growth OF foliage. The stems
are strong and it usually stands erect,
so that it can be harvested nicely with
the corn binder, or if grown alone, can
be cut to advantage with mower. CT.
c. Humphrey, professor of animal hus-
bandry, had ten tons OF soy beans cut
for silage this season in order to test
their value for dairy COWS. and the out
come of the experiment. will be
watched with interest.
If grown for seed or pasture pur-
poses the soy bean should be sown in
drills about thirty inches apart; where
small acreage is desired hand drill
can be used, but where large guam
tity is planted grain drill can he used
by stopping some OF the Intervening
sprouts SO as to have the soy beans the
proper distance apart. A corn planter
can he used to adyanta 20 and the seed
soWn the usual distance allowed for
corn or by doubling put them one half
the distance. Where the greater dis
lance Is allowed between the rows the
seed should be sewn about twice as
thick in the row. II the desire Is to
cut for hay, Sow broadcast with seeder

club this evening should make the fol-
lowing statement. would it be consid-
cred out of keeping with his previous
utterances or would it be hailed as
new declaration of his oft stated views
as to the conduct of the campaign:
The issue of the current campaign is
tariff revision. The question to be de-
cided is not whether the tariff shall at
some future time be revised. Both par
ties stand committed in the affirmative
of that proposition. the question, there
fore, Is, when. how, and by whom shall
the tariff be revised? Shall the work
of revision be intrusted to those who
will act with care and deliberation,
and by whom the preservation of the
protection principle will be insisted
upon as vital and necessary, or shall
the revision of the Dingley schedules
be turned over TO those Who hating
protection, will lose not an instant's

Good individuals Should be Selected
When Buying Feeding Stock.
Here is the opinion of Professor
George L. Day, of the Ontario Agricul-
tural College. Of what constitutes a
good feeding steer:
"The animal should have a good,
even back, we'll covered with flesh
along the parts that are the most val
as the beef should be well covered
with flesh. He must have a web
sprung rib large capacity for food,
and a strong constitution. To have
a strong constitution he must have a
strong heart girth. 1t must be nice,

a good, deep barrel, long ribs and UNI

For good feeder ! say look to the
head. IL the animal should have a
large prominent eye, a wide nostril, a
good big mouth and nice muzzle, you
may bank on her as good feeder.
THE handling qualities in both a
butchers bullock and a feeder are very
important. The best way ! can de-
scribe that is by saying: Have a
skin that is firm but not hard, mellow
but not soft Flabbiness indicates too
much fat and lack of muscle. Get a
feeder with thick, furry coat OF hair
Such hair denotes good. even flesh
while wiry hair is the sign of a
coarse flesh. The shoulder should be
neat and smooth and should blend
neatly on the neck.
1--WE want the shoulder to carry a

amount of bone. The neck is cheap
meat; it is therefore desirable that
we should have short, thick neck,
fitting nicely to the head and should
ers The flesh should be uniform In
quality all over. The bone should be
reasonably fine and in proportion to
the size of the animal"
Incidentally Professor Day says a
good, blunt brisket is a prime feeder,
and thickness of flank indicates ripe
ness. A medium, short leg is a sign OF
coarse meat, while q fine tail betrays
the presence of meat Of rice, even. fine
quality These things are worth study
ing. Keep them in mind.
Cheap Pork.
The uncounted wastes of the farm
can often be turned into pork and
produce neat sum of money without
very much trouble. A couple of pigs
will grow and thrive on scraps that
are ordinarily thrown away. and such
scraps make the best of pork. Any one
who has never made any account If

lettuce leaves, the pea pods and all

Our neighbcrs in Ireland understand
how to do this to perfection, and the
"pig that pays the rent is the product
of the scraps from families where
scraps are not plentiful and these
very pigs make the Irish bacon that
sells for the highest price Of any hog
product in the world
