Forage for Hogs.

The small farmer can i'll afford to
raise hogs without providing one OF
more forage crops for them These are
necessary from an economical as well
as sanitary standpoint, rs when hog
has access to plenty of forage it will
thrive better than on an exclusive
grain ration. Among successful for
age crops for hogs l highly regard
clover cowpeas. sGy-beans, sweet pOta.
toes and Spanish peanuts. writes God
frey Winkler, in Midland Farmer.
Sorghum is not to be despised And
as with many Of these crops hogs can
do their own harvesting, it saves labor
TO some extent.
In a test at the South Carolina ex-
pertinent station four lots Of pigs were
used. One lot was fed Spanish pea
nuts. one was fed sweet potatoes. one
cowpeas and the remaining lot was
fed corn. The yield Of Spanish pea
nuts was 90 bushels; of sweet potatoes,
200 bushels: cowpeas, 10 bushels The
amount of the different feeding stuffs
required to produce one pound of pork
was as follows: Corn, COZ pounds;
Spanish peanuts. 4.43 pounds; sweet
potatoes. 3217 pounds. and cowpeas,
4.91 pounds Now taking in account
the gains made and the yield of the
different crops. and rating pork at 30
cents per pound. the corn was Sc per
acre, peanuts S2437, sweet potatoes
S1S.47 and cowpeas $612. The economy
in growing these crops for hogs can
readily be seen.

Together came two souls at Heavens
gate;
Strangers to each in their TRANSPORTED
state.
Before them stood the servant of the
Lord
A shining angel with his flaming sword
Then to one trembling spirit of the dead
The guardian angel of the portal said:
"Dost thou thine earthly enemies for
giveT'
AYE" came the answer. ouoth the
angel Live"
Then saind the angel to the other one:
Unto this man great evil hast thou
done;
"For him be it what fate is thine to say;
AS he shall judge, so shall it be this
day"
In silence stood he there, and none may
tell
What dreams were his of torture and
of He'll;
But when at last he dared uplift his eyes,
Wide swung the gate, and there was
Paradise!

bank aggregate $500 900, of which $685.,

Sheep HusbandrY.

We do not believe a farmer should
have only one kind of stock on his
farm, but have few of nearly every
kind, so If the market is off on one
kind it will be better on some other.
The sheep industry was profitable last
year, and will be again this year.
Although the sheep are now wearing
their winter robes and are free from
ordinary cold, yet they will appreciate
good shelter from the winds and bad
weather as much as any other kind of
stock, and perhaps no animal will APP
preciate kind treatment more than a
sheep. The person who cannot control
a large degree of patience will not
make a good sheep master. It is natu-
raj for a flock of sheep to follow their
shepherd and this they will do If not
kicked about and are otherwise i'm
properly treated. If kicked away so
they are scared when they come near
you, they cannot be controlled Be

Setting a Sleeps Broken Leg.

Sheep have weak bones, and If one

partly let down the bone may be
snapped like dry twig. Then the
shepherd who does not understand his
business fully thinks he has a sheep

is waste of the animal, whose bones
will mend readily by simple treatment.
Take some thick strawboard or wrap
ping paper, steep it in a thin mixture
of plaster and water, set the broken
bone in its natural position and wrap Il
few strips of this paper around the leg.
Then take long bandage of cotton
cloth and dip this in the plaster, wrap
ping this over the paper. 1t will set
stiff and hard in a very short time, and
by this support the bone will unite in
about ten days.
