Farm Facts

FAN pigs may pay some feeders, but
they require special care and urging to
get them to amount to anything
To get the most out OF clover hay
1t must be sweet smelling, free from
dirt and it must have the bulk of the
leaves left on.
IT You have a bic, clover hay harvest
start cutting early. otherwise you will
have a lot of over-ripe, woody stuff, not
ut for anything except bedding.
One should be careful when turning
stocks on rape for the first few days.
Better have the animals fill themselves
up on some old hay or straw, before GO
ing into the rape field.
Don't be afraid to bear down on the
curry-comb and brush Vigorous
grooming will do more to keep the
work team in condition than an extra
allowance of grain or hay.
Fence rows unmowed are an abom-
ination to any farm Clean them up
before the weeds go to seed; and while
you have the mower out run up and
down the roadway few times.
Persistent spraying during July and
August using the bordeaux mixture, Is
the best preventative of blight in pota-
toes Keep the disease in check early
and you will not have much trouble.
Here is one of the worst leaks on
many farms-allowing the rain to car
ry the fertility out of the manure.
This manure question is now the most
important one in all farming opera
tions.
II you want to be real comfortable
these hot evenings, screen off a por-
ton of the porch. Beside making a
nice place to rest. free from insect
pests, it's fine place to set the dinner
table.
Wool shippers should go over every
fleece before it is wrapped and sent to
market. Remove all chaff. burrs and
tags then your wool will bring mar
lSet prices Just bear in mind that
quotations are for clean wool.
A subscriber wants to know whether
young animals should be forced. Yes,
providing it is done sensibly. The
young, growing animal needs different
food than the fattening animal Here
is where the work of a good feeder
will count.
Every farmer must learn for himself
just when it is the right time and what
is the best way to make hay, under
his local conditions. 1t will pay always
to keep quality to the foremost. espe-
cially this year, when hay Is bound to
be very scarce.
Does it pay to raise good pigso Well.
l guess so. 1 was talking with an Hill
nois breeder of Chester Whites a few
days ago. He told me he was selling
pigs s weeks old at SIS apiece The
scrub farmer works whole year to
get SIS for a scrub hog.
Look out for the round-headed borer
In the apple trees. Cut them out, but
