Portable for the sake of more profit.
At the Kansas agricultural college
two lots of hogs were fed. One lot
was sheltered in warm basement, the
other was kept in an open yard with a
board fence on the north The hogs
in the barn consumed 2.S7S pounds OF
feed, and gained GOA pounds during the
trial period of ten weeks, the amount
Of feed required for 100 pounds Of gain
being 476 pounds. The ones in the
exposed yard consumed 2,S44 pounds.
They made a gain of 47e pounds, and
required 593 pounds of feed for 100
pounds of gain, or about one-fourth
more feed for 100 pounds of gain than
the sheltered lot. The hogs were Berk-
shires, weighing from 200 to $50 pounds
each, and were evenly divided into two
lots of five each.-W, F. McSparran, IN

SHELTER THE PIGS.
Good shelter For the Growing Pigs
VIII Show n Decrease In the
Amount of Food Required.

On most farms the swine are regard
ed somewhat as by-product, and the
attention that their Importance In
farm economy deserves is not given
them. OF course, there is no reason
why the farmer should be more care
less with or wasteful of a by-product
than a manufacturer is, but that ne is
so is plainly written in all our farm
ing history-that is, If we have any
written history.
On many farms the pig is half an
outcast. He is fed the leayings, and
often his drink is fit only for the COM
post heap or to put out fire. When
the winds and rains and sleets and
SHOWS come around and over and
through him, he is welcome to a good
shelter il he can find it. The best he
can lind is usually leaky overhead and
saturated beneath. If corn is high, he
is nut on short rations through the
winter, and merely kept alive until
spring. If his immediate destiny is the
market, of course the corn allowance
Is increased, but the shelter is seldom
improved.
One Of the important things in AMI
NAL husbandry that stockmen are slow
est to learn or put into practice is that
heat and animal vitality are produced
and hence maintained, by the feed eat
en-. The cold, unbroken wind that
blows away the Bodily heat from the
animal is blowing away as much feed
as was required to produce that heat
plus the energy that was expended by
the animal extracting the heat from
| the feed.
| Now. know there is time-honoreo
| notion-and even old things are not al
ways entitled to our respect-that ex-
posure is conducive to bealthfulness
and that to make an animal strong anc
robust and long lived one needs to trair
its muscles by letting it shiver, or de-
yeIop its bone by forcing 1t to move
ON to keep from freezing, to let every
cold wind blow around it for the fullest
lunx-expanaion. But we are not x

Good Advice to Cotton-PIanters.

The United States department Oh
agriculture has issued circular to the
cotton planters in the southwest, con-
tanning the following timely advice,
which is especially applicable where
ever the boil weevil has made its ap-
pearance:
PLANT early, and secure seed from az
far north as possible. Better replant
than to defer planting and have the
crop mature late. The practice OF some
planters of making two paintings, to
avoid all the work of chopping tthin-
ming out) thrown into a short period
is a very bad policy from the weevil
standpoint.
~Under the identical conditions, early
cotton of improved varieties has in
yariably yielded from two to three
times as much as native cotton under
the same conditions, and in many cases
| much more. Planted at the same time
the early varieties begin to bloom from
IL to IS days sooner than native cot
| ton.
'.Fields of early cotton OF either ma
tive or improved varieties have aimos'
invariably yielded twice as much a
late-planted ones"
