THE PROPER WEIGHT OF GIFTS

Much has been written regarding
the proper size and weight of the gifts.
that are to be retained for breeding
purposes. should attain at from eleven
months to one year of age. I know
breeders who make the claim that
four or five hundred pounds is nothing
startling for a gilt to weigh at eleven
months to one year of age.
While it sHnot my aim to belittle
the achievements of breeders who are
much older and more experienced than
the writer, yet it is a question In my
mind if that kind of gifts would prove
ve-y successful in the hands of anyone
but an experienced hog man who had
every convenience for caring for them
to the best possible advantage and had
also had a large amount of experience
in caring for this kind of stock. ~
TO speak from the standpoint of the
farmer who finds 1t part of his farm
economy to grow his gifts on pasture
and a less concentrated grain ration,
would say that a weight of three hun
bred at one year of age is about al
that could be made without feeding al
excess of fat-producing ration tina
would be apt to injure their futur'
usefulness for breeding purposes.
Another matter for US to take int
consideration at times when we ar
admiring these sensational gifts at tn
shows and expositions Is the fact tina
every one of these highly fitted indi
viduals is an exception and in man
cases ten or a dozen less hardy an
vigorous ones may have been RUNE
in order that their breeder might hav
the honor of showing one winner:

POULTRY QUESTIONS AND AN
SWERS.

C. E. P-Chicks should not be fed
oats with hulls on. Hulled oats can
generally be secured from grain deal
ers.
E. Eft costs about $1.20 a year
to feed a fowl
S. D. F.-To our way of thinking,
the evening mash is all right during
the warm part of the year, but during
winter we prefer the warm morning
mash. as 1t not only warns up the
fowl, but quickly digests.t An hour or
so after this meal the fowl becomes
hungry and begins a search for some
thing to eat. If there is litter in the
house or scratching shed, she will
start right in to work. There is al
ways more or less. grain left in the
litter from the evening feed and this
gives the busy fowl an inducement to
exercise.
l.. K--we are not opposed to corn
rs part poultry. food, but as an ex-
elusive article, or fed In the manner
that SO many do. we can see very little
good and much harm coming from Its
use. Corn Is heat and fat-producing
food, and to laying hens such only
should be fed by way of variety.
g. w. Rive do not believe that
roup is hereditary. but where fowls
are bred which have been apparently
cured" Of roup, a weak constitution is
the: heritage of the offspring. which
may sooner or later lead on the roup.
Fowls tlaatrare weakly constituted are
more susceptible to colds than those
bred from strong, rugged parents.
w. e. R.-The cause Of hens dying
during mott is due to general debility
It is only the strong that pass through
the ordeal.
e. r. T.-Rusty iron placed In the
drinking water is about as good 8
tonic. as anything we know Of
OPP. B.--Overcrowding chicks OF
fowls causes more weakness among
4 the flock than anything that can bt
done.
t r. T. H.-No yard should be les
than fifty feet in length. and as Wild
as the poultry house.
c. j. W.-The only objection to hay
ing scratching shed under the hel
house is the difficulty in getting unde
} it to clean it and gather. the eggs.
w. q. C.-Y our house should hay

ROOT CROPS FOR STOCK.

While roots have been used by
Eastern farmers to a considerable ex-
tent they are only just now being
adopted on large scale by Western
farmers. In Colorado, Kansas and
other Western states farmers are

used In fattening cattle. sheep and

The demand for bottled milk in the
saloons and drug stores of New York
is increasing so rapidly that prices
have been advanced. This will be good
news to the dairy farmers of that state
because in the past few years many of
them have been able to make nothing
more than a bare living.

Two enterprising young men of
Philadelphia succeeded in swindling
farmers out of $4,000 worth of
produce during the last three months.
The process was simple, they simply
went out through the country, bought
produce without paying for it and
then disappeared, working differAnt
sections week after week.

The man that thinks he. can scrimp
by using poor salt, surely scrimps him
