Waste of Good Feed.
Much good food is lost by feeding 1t
to inferior animals. This is true of all
kinds Of stock, but especially so of
hogs. No man likes to acknowledge that
his stock are scrubs, but just between
you and the printed page. how about
those in your vicinity?
Cholera and Contagion.
If cholera breaks out in the neighbor-
hood the farmer should maintain a
strict quarantine against the infected
herds. He should refrain from visits
to farms where they are located, and
should insist on his neighbors staying
out of his hog lots. Intercourse of all
kinds at this time should be carefully
restricted The contagion is so easily
carried that the strictest measures are
justihable-G. NJ Rommel.
Those Poor Fences.
If you put hogs in yards where the
fences are poor, don't he surprised IL
you have job chasing them three or
four times a day.
Uniformity In the Herd.
Uniformity in herd Is the surest
index to the worth of the stock and
the skill of the breeder, and its advan-
tages are obvious. A uniform lot OF
pigs will feed better, look better when
fattened and command higher price
on the market than mixed lot. With
a bunch of sows closely conforming TO
the same standard, whose reproductive
powers are similar, uniform pigs may
be expected.
A Hogs Leg.
Breeding makes better hogs; that's
evident. But when 1t makes parlor or
naments or refined family pets out Of
the porkers II is time to draw the line.
1t doesn't pay to breed ine bones and
delicate constitutions" advises Kim
balls Dairy Farmer. "A hog must be

taken to provide shade for the hogs
during hot weather. A cheap covering

can have access to brush lot. SO much
the better. as the brush not only fur

b. o. Harris of South Carolina
states that 1t costs him only sIa cents
per pound, charging liberal rent for
grazing land. to produce pork. His
hogs are grazed on a pasture of Ber-
muda and Dallis grasses and Japan
clover from May to Dec. I. The hogs
are fed on mangolds, turnips, citrons

horses that In their present form are
not valuable. Yet the average price

He-edfty In Breeding.
Breed only from sound mares and to
sound stations Is certainly sound adj
vice. Practical breeders have learned
from experience that an animal which
has become unsound from accident, but
whose ancestors were free from hered-
itary unsoundness, is much less liable
TO transmit the infirmity from which
be or she has suffered than is a sound
animal, some whose ancestors suffered
from the same form of unsoundness
which was hereditary. This may seem
to novice like a distinction without
a difference. but ii is not. The prog
envy is more liable to inherit the char
acteristics of the family than of the in
dlvidual.-Horse Breeder.
