Making Pork cheaply.

The price Of hogs is lower than it
has been for more than two years. But
there is quite a difference yet between
the price that they are bringing now
and the price in 1895, when they ran
from $3.50 to 1885 per hundred" re-
marks a writer in the Swineherd.
AT that time corn was ranging about
20 cents, showing that there is q great
er difference between the price of corn
then and now than there is between
the price of hogs then and now. This
shows the necessity of using less corn
and much cheaper food stuff for grow
ing pigs. There is nothing SO cheap
as succulent food, though it should
be supported with a partial grain ra-
ton to get the best results from the
grass.
EVERY farmer should, therefore.
supply himself with good pastures, and
with good succulent foods to fill up the
gap as the grass begins to dry. One of
the very best and easiest to grow is
sweet corn; early planted it just comes
in the nick of time. 1t is richly en-
joyed and is splendid food for pigs
and hogs. Glover and alfalfa should
be supplied by every farmer if it is
possible to grow them. They are not
only great feed for hogs, make great
tilizers of the soil. They store up
nitrogen from the air and are, there
fore, an economical measure.
Dwarf Essex rape makes splendid
feed for pigs when supported with
moderate grain ration. In other words,
to get the best effect from feeding
! - 1t
it needs a partial grain ration.
"There is no better opportunity for a
farmer to mix grains with his feeds
than now. The cheaper he can pro-
duce his pork the greater the profit
The less high priced corn it takes to
feed hogs the greater the profit. Still
it may be profitable to use a small RAJ
ton of corn with the succulent foods.
Don't make any violent changes.
Pigs should be turned on the rape be-
fore it gets too large. Let them on 1t
by degrees, but a short time at first,
increasing day by day. Follow the
same plan in feeding sweet corn or
turning into pasture of rye or clover.
"Be careful that the pigs are all
ways in good, thrifty, growing condi-
ton that you may get the advantages
from your feed. It is not the feed that
is eaten, but that which is assimilat-
ed that makes profit. Hogs should al
ways have plenty of water, as 1t aids
digestion.
"The hog is the money maker of the
farm if he is given a show. Outlines
he has the least attention and care of
any other animal on the farm. But
the man that makes the most money
out Of him is the one that gives
thought, care and attention to his
wants and comforts"

The Control Of Sex.

For several years past different sug-
gested modes of controlling sex in
breeding domestic animals have been
kept in mind in the cattle breeding on
the university farms.
One result of these observations has
been to suggest an explanation of some
of the many positive statements that a
given theory had been proven correct.
In several cases we have had notice.
able series of calves of one sex-so no
ticeable in number that had the cows
ben Lred in lcce,r E.nee with any ore
method or theory for controlling sex
there would have been a natural dispo-
sition to pronounce the theory proven
true or false.
At times there seems a striking ten
dency to the production of animals Of
one sex, either as the progeny of the
sire or of one or more females. The
Shorthorn bull, Oxford Mazurka 40199,
gave us nearly three heifers to one bull
calf for three successive years. On
the other hand majority of the calves
of his get during the last few months
he was in use were bulls. Three Short
horn cows in the herd had given six,
five and four calves of the same sex in
succession; then dropped one of oppo-
site sex.
We have not found that reliance co'
be placed in the theories that sex can
be controlled by service near COM
mencement or near close of heat; be-

the other hand, we have not, in a series
Of y ars, been abb, to s.ly post. VI:
That What is known as the Stuyvesant
theory has beeen proven incorrect-un-
less cases of production of twins of OPP
posite sex be counted violation of the
theory.
This theory is that conception at al
ternate periods of heat will produce
offs pring of different sex. The method
OF application is: cow, having pro-
fiuced a calf, and it being desired to
have the next of the same sex, the COW
should be served at the second, fourth
or sixth heat, until she stands to the
service. If a calf of opposite sex be de-
sired. she should be served at the first,
third or fifth heat
IT is not held that our observations
prove this theory correct; simply that
we Fave not found, with certainty, ex-
ceptions to 1t in our herds. 1t not I'M
frequently happens that the manifesto
tions of heat in a COW are so slight or
pass away so quickly that they may not
be detected hence this theory may be
incorrectly held to have been sustained
or it's correctness disapproved.
During the present season. test has
been made of the theory that the sex
of the young can be controlled by half
castration Of the male-it frequently
being stated that semen from the right
testicle will produce only male, that
from the left only female offspring.
The left testicle was removed from a
boar pig. Three sows afterward bred
to him produced litters in each Of
which were pigs of both sexes, in near
y equal number. The castration was
dona when the pig was quite young,
and no other boar could have had ac-
cess TO the sows. In this case the re-
salt was directly at variance with the
theory. A former attempt at like test
in which the boar was half castrated
and each SOW had one ovary removed,
f:tiled thru death of the sows when
ap pare ntly in pig.

| One of the meanest things men do
for money is to sell whisky to a

against the protests and pleadings OF
his wife and family 1t is hard to be-

liberately and knowingly sell whisky
to drunkards, whose families need
bread and lack fuel. We might eX"

right to expect that they shall not

Two cases brought by wife against
druggists who it was charged sold her
drunken husband liquor to the extent
that he became a habitual drunkard,
1al +0
port her and children, have recently
been decided in a neighboring county.
One of the druggists admitted the
sales and verdict was rendered
against him for a considerable sum-
He attempted to prove that the man
was not habitual drunkard, and that
he had not suffered from the sales
made to him. But the jury found that
the wife and family had suffered at
least $1,000 worth. The other denied
under oath that he ever sold the man
liquor and was confronted with eight
sales in their presence. The jury very
properly mulcted him and the judge
took occasion to make remarks upon
evidences of perjury and announce his
intention to investigate with view
to bringing the matter before the
grand Jury One of these Illicit liquor
dealers has sold out and the other is
preparing to leave town. One woman
in defence of her home and her child
rem has made the contraband whisky
business improbable in her home
town. She is a public benefactor and
entitled to the gratitude Of every wife
and mother in that community. 1t is
a pity more are not like her.
There are thousands of respectable
pharmacies in Iowa kept by decent
men, There are hundreds of whisky
drug stores which have no excuse for
existence outside of the profits of their
illegitimate liquor sales and that Of
fer as utter defiance to the law as
bootlegger in the alley behind livery
barn. Thy are a disgrace to the state
and to the profession of pharmacy.
They cast the shadow of their disre-
pute over every decent drug store in
the state The sentiment of the COM
munities in which they flourish more
or less support them. The perjuries
to which Iowa grand juries have lis
tened over this class of drug stores
are enough to sink the state. 1t seems
time for the reputable druggists to be-
stir themselves against class of men
whose names makes the pharmacy
register look like the waiting list of
an employment agency for barkeepers.
But women like Mrs. Mather, of
