CLOVER AS FOOD FOR PIGS
Some Feeding Hints Whose Value Is
So Apparent That They Should
Be Given o Trial.

Clover and q little corn or other grain
make q much cheaper growing ration
for pigs and shoats during the grass
feeding period than the grass alone. II
pigs and shoats are fed with little grain
while running on grass at the age Of five
months they may be made to weigh all
the way from $50 to ITS pounds.
On the other hand. where they were
compelled to live on grass alone, 1t will
bother them to weigh more than 125
pounds. The increase in weight during
the first FIVE months Of the young shoat's
life can be made at less cost than any
gain that will be made later.
At the same time, to keep the young
shoat In good condition from the time
he is weaned until the fattening period
In no sense interferes with making Just
as rapid gains during the fattening
period, so that one is just ahead the ex-
ira gain for q given amount Of grain fed
in this way that young shoat will make
over an older one.
When It comes to selling the grown
up shoats that have been fed with lit
tie corn or other grain while at pasture,
they will outsell the quickly fattened
hog.
This is because the butcher who has
to cut up the carcass has learned that
the hams. shoulders and other parts Of
the hog that has been fed well and kept
growing are thicker and Of better quail
fly than Of one that is first allowed to
grow the frame and afterwards fatten
in few months.
In the latter case there is too apt to
be an excess Of internal fat. In the
former case there is an intermingling
Of the fat and lean. especially that Of
the hams and shoulders, which pelases
the ham epicure, thus making the car
cass one that will cut up more proflta-
bly, and give better satisfaction to the
consumer.-St Louis Republic.

How to Store Sugar Beets.

Sugar beets under average condi-
tons are not difficult to store, and It
Is generally considered that they can
be kept longer than any other field
root without decaying. II you do not
happen to have q root cellar. they can
be kept in pits in the field. Select
q high, well-drained part of your land,
dig q shallow trench, I'LL with the beets
then cover with straw, then earth on
top. It is well to put on only little
earth at first. and just before freezing
up cover the mound well. Be sure that
the drain Is such that no water will
stand In the bottom Of the pit or
around the sides. Even II the beets are
frozen, II they are kept frozen until
ready for use II will not injure their
feeding value.-Midland Farmer.

SELLING THE GRAIN CROP.
Lines Along which FARMERS Should
Work Together Seriously to Their
Mutual Advantage.

We have from time to time urgsl
our readers to put their products In
good condition before putting them on
the market, and then to use the pre-
cautions necessary to secure returns
according to the merit Of the article.
The hum Of the thresher is now heard
In the land, and there will be much
grain hauled direct from the machine
to the elevator at whatever price the
elevator man may choose to offer.
This 10 not saying that the elevator
man can afford to pay more under
present conditions The fault We have
to find is with the conditions OF
marketing grain as they exist over .
large part Of the country. As these
are the outgrowth Of the practices Of
farmers the latter must look to them
selves for the remedy.
The particular evil we refer to 10
the very common practice Of grain
dealers Of paying one price for the
different grades of one kind Of grain;
This Is q great injustice to those who.
by reason Of better methods Of farm
ing and better care Of crops, supply
an article that Is more free from weed
seeds and Is In other ways Of q quail
ty superior to that Of their more
shiftless neighbors. Such practice 10
poor encouragement for q man to try
to improve the quality Of his output
This is q point. however. says the
Prairie Farmer. on which the enter.
prising farmers In q community can
work together to their mutual advan-
tage. They can put their product In
flrst-class condition and II the homo
buyer will not pay q satisfactory in
crease in price over the poorer grades
they can ship to q central market with
the assurance that they will get the
top price there.
It is much less trouble for the buyer
to pay an average price for all grades.
as he is In no danger Of loss through
an error Of judgment as to quality.
Also II relieves him Of the disagreea-
BILE task of demonstrating to the man
with the poor grain why neighbor 10
entitled to q higher price than he is.
The grain dealer naturally slipped
into his present practice as the east
est way out Of o difficulty and, as we
said above, we see no remedy except
for the progressive farmers to take
the reins into their own hands. Until
they do this they will continue to SUI
fer at the expense of the man who
let's his farm grow up to weeds ana
his grain spoil in the shock and bin.
SO long as the present practice con-
tinues will they be robbed 70 replen-
ish the pockets Of the unthrifty and
unworthy.
Perhaps the worst outcome OF all
this Is the tendency such q practice
has of getting farmers, In general
into careless habits. We say "in gen.
eral" because there are always q few
farmers in any community who VIII
be careful and painstaking whether
there is a prospect of immediate re-
muneration or not. e But the average
man requires little stimulus In som"
form to keep him up to his best ID
this regard.

With q possibility of short pasture

the farmer with much or little stock
