be the main stay in feeding swine but the
trouble is most men make 1t the entire ra-
ton and thus create the need for stock
foods and condiments which are having
such enormous sales. Remember. we are
not Directing to these things for they are
desirable occasionally but when 1t reaches
the point where the swine raiser depends
upon these prepared foods there is surely
something wrong, in his plan of feeding.
II corn must be largely used for the swine

ground corn fed even II only Enough 10
used to give 1t a taste. This will excite
the appetite and the food taken under
such conditions will add weight n vigor
to the animal. Beyond all else see that
the swine nave frequent meals Of green
food in the form of roots. leaves, apples
and potatoes that have no salable value.
Give them all the skim milk that can be

vlowER.nc snaues ~ WINTER

To many of those who do not possess
2 greenhouse 1t seems impossible to
have many plants bloom in their win
dows in winter, says Field and Farm.
IT is quite possible to take 1p bedding
plants from flower bed early in h
season, establishing them In pots be-
fore winter comes. getting from them q
good lot OF flowers, but we wish now tc
speak OF the utility of hardy shrubs for
indoor decoration, of which there are
quite a number that could be used. The
kinds to get are those that lower early
In the spring, for those that bloom later
are of no use, and h old plants must
be rejected. as . only vigorous young
shoots, are of any account. This class
OF shrubs consists of those that flower
from shoots Of the previous season,
hence If there are no shoot of this de-
scription, there will be no flowers.
Nurserymen now propagate such
plants SO extensively that it is not cost
~ to obtain a good collection should
1t be necessary to buy them. Besides
the following list. others may he Sc
cured, keeping in mind that they must
be those that bloom early: Deutzia gra-
ellis. Japanese Judas, Magnolia stellata.
snowy mespilus, Spirae reevesii and s..
van houttei, Japanese SNOWFALL, yellow
jasmine. Comedian cherry, golden bell.
Towering almond, mock orange, COM
mon lilacs, weigelia Of all kinds and
bush honeysuckle. If something with
pretty green foliage is desired to min
gle with the other plants. Japanese
privet and golden privet may be used.
Small plants are the best throughout
as more roots can be dug up with them,
making he check in growth less. Any
time before the ground freezes up will
answer to obtain them. Pot them at
once, pl: cling them In a sheltered place
outdoors If winter has not come and in
a cool cellar if it has.
After a few weeks rest they may be
taken to the heat and light of an upper
room that growth Ia be started. It
is better not to TAX all to the room
at once but a few at a time to prolong
the season. OF those named the gold
Ell bell, daphnes, yellow jasmine and
Comedian cherry need but little forcing,
the flowers appearing quickly when the
plants are given a little heat. When
the plants lose many of their roots, as
sometimes happens in digging them,
prudence dictates the cutting in or cut
ting away Of some of the branches. but
let it be remembered that the growth of
the previous year is what gives the
flowers and too much of this must not
be cut away. There are many hardy
perennials which force readily and
would therefore be available for the
same purpose. TAX those that flower
early, potting and treating them as
recommended with the shrubs.

DON'T NEGLECT YOUNG STOCK

The stock, especially the young
things, must not be neglected these
days when all energy is being devoted
to housing corn. Where there is a
pasture of blue grass or even a second
crop of clover hat has not been fed
down, the cattle and horses that are
not in use may do well il they have a,
chance for shelter during the storms.
We seem to be having more than our
usual amount Of rains so far this fan
and may be treated to a snow storm at
any time, but we trust not. There is.
a large crop Of corn to husk and husk-
ers are not over numerous, while
there is much corn blown down.. A
snow before this is gathered viii cause
much Of it to spoil as The ground is
full Of moisture and there Is already
much mouldy corn. The man who has
stock cannot afford to go to the field
before daylight and not see that all the
stock is doing nicely. Important as is
the getting of he corn in the crib IL
is better to husk a few bushels less
per day Inc see that the pigs. horses
and cattle are all on hand for their
feed. A young animal that stops grow
ing will not make the profit that it
should, even IL future care is ever so
good.

ANENT CATTLE FEEDING.
+his Tina of tina wear +o food ar not \

feed, Is a paramount question with the ma
jority of stockmen, says the Live Stock
World. If there were anyrellable oracle that
could be consulted regarding the future
there would be irregular stampede round
that shrine. But in cattle feeding. like
most everything else Of a business nature.
every man Is the architect of his own for
tune, or misfortune, as tine case may be,
and the venture has to be made largely on
guess. Hardly any other line of business
has such an element of M in 1t, but
taking the good with the bad for a series
of years, cattle feeding has paid fairly
we'll. There are hundreds OF farmers on
the fence now wondering what to do. 1t
does not take a very long stretch of the
memory to recall that hundreds of cattle
feeders lost money last winter. As a burnt
child breads the fire, SO these feeders are
hesitattng about jumping in again. Lots
of cattle are coming to market now that
are not making their owners much of a
profit. Professor Mumford, Of the Illinois
experiment station, who had in some choice
steers of the popular weight this week,
admitted that there was practically no
profit in cattle feeding at the present time.
When cattle fed at a college, where all the
facilities are the best and where economy
is reduced to a fine art do not make mon
eY, what chance has the average farmer,
whose environments are not of the best?
Dealers in stock cattle here say that not
as many cattle are being taken out as a
year ago. simply because feeders are
afraid Of the cars" but the country il
large and there are other distributing
points than Chicago, and besides. more
cattle were brought direct from the pro-
Queer this year than usual. In the aggre.
gate, therefore, it is hard to tell whether
more or less cattle are going on feed than
q year ago. The fact of the matter is.
farmers want to get the most out of their
feed possible, and there is always a lot Of
roughage about a farm that cannot be pro-
fitably utilized in any other way.
The price of corn is the strongest factor
in feeding operations. and as the May pro-
duct refuses to go down there are lots Of
farmers who feel that it would be better
to sell the corn than to feed. 1t is for
tunate, after all. that all people don't think
alike, otherwise there would be a feast or
a famine in the feeding business. When
the number of cattle fed in the country is
so large that there is no profit in 1t natur-
ally many drop out and the pendulum
swing to the other side of the arc, when
they all get back in and history repeats
itself. All things considered, the feeding
proposition is as good as it was a year ago.

Berlin. Sept. 3.-Forty-three cases
Of cholera In all have been reported.
Nine persons have died from the dis
ease and many suspicious cases are
under observation. The legal and med
ical machinery for dealing with this
invasion Of the Aslatic bacillus Is
now working at full pressure.
Prof Edward Sonnenburg said that
no one need fear an epidemic such as
that Of 1928 because the health au-
thorities since that time had built up
an organization quite adequate to
grasp the beginnings Of cholera and to
put down the disease with precision
and firmness.
New York. Sept. 2.-That extra pre-
cautions shall be taken to prevent
bringing in a case Of cholera among
immigrants from German ports was
agreed at a conference between Health
officer A. H. Doty. Of this port, and
the representatives Of several trans
Atlantic steamship companies. The
plan is said to exercise great care in
taking the immigrants on board ship
n German ports. The discovery Of a
case Of cholera in Hamburg was the
cause of the conference. DR.. DOty
said after the conference that he had
no reason to think that cholera would
get to New York, considering all the
precautions being taken.
