A higher average plane Of quota
tions for raw wool seems inevita BILE

Nothing is better than milk to feed
to hogs. The Missouri Experiment
Station has shown by test that where
fed with grain it makes better gains
than either green alfalfa or bluegrass.

older ones. They make larger gains
on the same feed.

flocks steadily diminished until a few
years ago the last of the old-time
sheep kings, Don Jose Leandro Perea,
Of Bernalillo, on the Rio Grande, died,
leaving 100000.

There does not seem to be any prac-
teal need of moisture about the nest
of a sitting hen. Sometimes they
hatch every egg whether fat on the
ground or deep in the hay In the barn.
In the latter there certainly cannot
be any moisture. The main thing is
to have good eggs and hen that is
naturally good sitter If one sets hens
on eggs. The best plan is to hatch
artifcially.
