start the Pigs Right.

The man who starts off his pigs on
the corn ration about as soon as he can
after they are weaned is laying in Il
store of trouble for himself later. There
is Il trouble known to swine raiSers as
contracted stomach, which results from
an improper ration. The animal Is APP
parently ''off its feed" but the fact is.
the ration has been so poorly balanced
that the stomach has not grown with
the growth of the rest OF the body. IL
the young pigs are to be allowed n
range they will do more or less root
ing. eating of soil and sod; as this is
their nature. it will not hurt them. but
if they are placed where one does not
wish the sod uprOotcd, then the ami
mails must be ringed. If mitldlings
and Oilmeal are introduced with the
corn ration there will he considerably
less trouble. Some of the stock foods
on the market have their greatest value
to the swine raiser who does not feed
Il balanced ration and II these stock
foods can be obtained practically free
from drugs or condiments, they are
very valuable in such cases.

What Lime Does for Land.


Farmers often say that they do not
need to use lime, because they use
large quantities of it in FERTILIZER.
Ground bone and other forms Of phos-
phate contain lime. We cannot Obta in
phosphoric acid in ordinary fertilizers
without lime. Such farmers mistake
the most necessary function of lime in
the soil. Air-slaked lime has a chem
ical action which sweetens the soil,
makes it more compact or sets free
other forms of plant food. This Is quite
distinct from Its power to provide ac-
tual food for the plants. The lime in
the bone or phosphate may In time
serve as plant food. but the air slaked
lime Is needed for the more important
service.

Good Word for Guinens.

The Guinea fowl may yet become a
very profitable branch of farm poultry
raising. The scarcity of certain kinds
of game which resemble in flavor the
Guinea, especially the Western prairie
chicken and grouse. has led to Il sub
stitutiOn Of young Guineas on hotel and
restaurant bills of fare. Guineas Of
about the hroiler age. weighing about
one pound and half are of an ex-
reedingly fine. gamy favor, and seem to
satisfy the consumer. In this way the
restaurants are able to dodge the game
laws in certain States and serve 'prai-
rte chicken" on the bill of fare ut all
seasons. GamehOuses are paying high
prices for young Guneas, and 1t would
seem that large farms might be devot-
ed to them protitably wherever turkeys
and pheasantS succeed.
