RAISING HOGS
FOR MARKET.

Writing in American Cultivator on
his method of raising hogs for market.
]. p. Fletcher, the New York breeder
says:
better bred pigs. No one can afford to
buy pure breds for market, and yet no
pig will fatten as probably as one that
Is well bred from mature stock. | am
more sure of healthy stock with pigs
that have been raised in my own pens
Then, too, it is cheaper to raise the
pigs than to buy.
The feeding should be begun as soon
as the pigs will eat if IL is to be done
for the largest profit. Keep the pigs
growing from the very start They
have good sized pasture with excellent
grass. | keep them on this until about
six or eight weeks before selling All
this time l feed them well with slop
and dry corn, so when turn them into
the yards they are well started in the
fattening process.
While they are in the yards l keep
increasing the corn ration until the
hogs are getting all they will eat.
supplement- this with a slop made from
some meal, such as ground corn, oats
or rye. This is mixed with skim milk
from thirty cows and what l can buy
l find that a mixture of cornmeal, rye
and skim milk will make more growth
and the meal and milk fatten the hogs
faster, thus making pork cheaper than
milk without grain.
l regard skim milk as a valuable
part of the hog ration, worth at least

Mrs. p. F. Berringer and daugh-
tiers, Havel and Vera, left Tuesday
morning for two weeks visit with
relatives at Presho. They were
accompanied by Miss Gertrude Davis.
The body of John Seeboy, Indian,
who hung himself in the Jail at
Aberdeen last week, was shipped to
Waubay Thursday night and taken
charge of by his relatives. Quite a
little excitement was caused by the
unsuccessful attempt of Seeboy's
squaw to hang herself to depot
truck when her husbands body was
unloaded here.

Milk For the FoaI.

work, the foal may get some new milk
from COW, to which one needs add
little sugar and water. The nearest
approach to mares milk is brought
about by adding one part Of water to
three parts Of cows milk and one or
to pint of the mixture If the mare
IS separated from the foal for any
length of time, she should always be
MIXED out before again gaining ac-
cess to the foal. The long secreted
milk in the udder is considered very
unwholesome food for the newly born
animal. Farmer and Stockbreeder,

Breeding Good Stock.

Good feeding must go with good
breeding.
Select the best for breeding purposes.
Like produces like or the likeness OF
an ancestor.
The longer the pedigree the better II
Il Is the right kind.
Avoid strongly opposite tendencies in
the parents as tending to weaken the
hereditary tendency In the young. If
violent crosses are made. do not breed
from the crossbreds.
The young will be most likely to re-
semble the parent having the strongest
breeding powers and strongest pedi
gree. Animals which have power of
strongly influencing their young for
several generations are termed prepo-
tent.
Those who know nothing about in
breeding should avoid II. Practice it
only between individuals as nearly per
feet as possible. 1t tends to fix and
Increase all characteristics, both good
md bad
In crossing and grading up always
use a thoroughbred male, says Amer
lean Cutivator. Never use a poor
grade. no matter how well he looks.
He cannot be depended upon to- breed
true. Breed from the best specimens
Of the best bred families. Usually
The female can be used for breeding at
IN earlier age than the male.

THE SHEPHERD.

Selling the good ewes because prices
are tempting is tearing down rather
than building up your flock.
Sheep should not be caught by
clutching handfuls of their wool, as
this Injuries the fleece, to say nothing
Of giving pain.
AS soon as the lambs will eat grain
they should be given creep, SO that
they can pass in an adjoining pen
away from the mothers and be allowed
to eat grain at will.
A fender should be placed over the
trough, SO that the lambs cannot jump
In and soil the feed.
Don't forget to guard the sheep at
night The dog is an epicure and
knows what good lamb Is.
As supplementary ration to corn
slower for sheep mixture of one-half
oilmeal and one-half bran, a half pound
to each sheep daily, is hard to beat.
Sheep shearing is not difficult op-
Grafton, and any man who is willing
can readily learn the art. Sheep shear
ing machines are popular, practicable
and profitable.
The profits from the flock are not
always dependent upon the number of
sheep you keep, but rather on the kind
you keep.
Gull at shearing time and again at
weaving time.
II you dip your sheep at the proper
season in some good dip, you will not
have to dip so deep into your pocket
when the day for settling your feed
bill comes along, says American Sheep
Breeder.
AS sheep dip the following Is rec
commended by breeder: Add forty
pounds Of soft soap to ten gallons OF
boiling water and while boiling add
one pound of carbolic acid. This may
then be thinned down with 100 gallons
Of cold water. This quantity Is sum
cient for dipping seventy-five sheep.

How to Produce Good Animals

Good animals are produced by good
feed, good care and plenty of it. The
farm where good stock is kept must
be kept well. 1t will not do to abuse
the farm by eating out the pastures
and impoverishing the land. Good,
well kept farms and good stock very
naturally go together. In the produc-
ton of good stock good feed condition
must first be provided. This means
good farming, and good farming is
the basis of every successful farm in
dustry or enterprise. The feed supply
must not only provide for the grazing
season, but all seasons. The winter
season or prepared feed season is the
most critical period In the growth Of
the animal, because the natural con-
ditions of vegetation must be supplied
as far as practicable by the storage
and preservation of succulent feeds for
the winter use. - Twentieth Century

cattle, so that they drink large amounts
of water and fill up on the same. This
Is something that is usually very detri-
mental to the sale Of the cattle. 1t is
useless for the shipper to think that he
can fool the buyer by such practice.
BY feeding a large quantity of salt
one is apt to bring on fevered condi-
ton in the animals stomach or diges-
tive organs.
When the cattle are taken off pasture
they should be put in as dry yard as
possible, so that they may keep toler-
ably clean. Do not leave the ordering
of the car until the last minute, but
rather order 1t so that it can be prop
erly bedded and a good supply of hay
put in its racks. Straw, of course,
makes the best kind of bedding one
can use. However, the most essen
tial thing is that of supplying plenty
of whatever is available. To simply
half bed car in many cases is like
cutting the price of the cattle, because
they become dirty, and much of their
finish and quality are apparently lost.
There is nothing better than good
sweet hay for cattle before loading or
In transit Some shippers advise feed
ing small quantity of grain; but, as
a rule, grain, especially corn, has a
tendency to fever the animals and
cause them to drink too much water.
Thus, all things considered, the less
grain that is fed just previous to and
during shipment the better When
the cattle are ready for shipment, they
should be driven over the scales and
the weights recorded. Then they
should be driven very carefully to the
stockyards or station where they are
to be shipped.
AS rule, about twenty good sized
steers will fill a ear; however, one
should not rely on any given number,
but, rather, go by the amount of space
In the car. That is, always fill the car
just as full as it will hold of cattle
of a uniform size. BY allowing the
animals too much space they will push,
fight and jam each other so that they
will shrink considerably more than if
they are crowded enough to keep them
quiet. If the shipping takes place In
midsummer. when It is very warm,
care must be taken to supply the ami
mails with plenty of water on the car.

Does 1t Pay to Raise Mules7

1t certainly does, as there never was
time when the mule did not COM
mand fair cash price, and as long as
the world continues to grow cotton,
corn and sugar and work the mines we
must have the mule, and just as long as
these industries are kept up the mule
will command better price than any
other of the horse kind compared to
what il costs to raise them, says n
writer in the New Southwest. There
is no animal so easy and safe to raise
as the mule. He Is less subject to dis
eases than any other animal, he is
easily fattened, he is easily broken to
work, and when ii comes to selling him
he Is always ready for the cash. 1t
does not take high standard bred reg
fstered mare to raise a good mule. OF
course the better the mare as a rule
the better the mule, but any good
roamy fifteen and half to sixteen
and quarter hands and 1850 to 1900
pound mare bred to q good jack will
raise a good mule. All kinds of mules
sell, and sell well, but the good kind
sell much higher and are just as easy
to raise If you will use the right kind
of jacks and good average mare.

FEEDING Sheep For Market.

In feeding sheep for market avoid
feeding corn in excess. think that is
one of the great faults of our sheep
feeders they feed too much of the car
bonaceous ration, says New York
breeder. 1t is perhaps true that one
can put flock of sheep into the barn
and make a greater gain per day for
reasonable time with corn than with
any other kind of food, but one that is
not making lean meat, simply mutton
tallow. much better food will be
oats, bran, oil cake, something of that
kind which will produce better quail
ity of meat.

Clean the Troushs Thoroughly.

1t is very essential, If you want your
'ambs to eat, that you always sweep
your troughs out thoroughly before you
put in fresh grain. And when you
feed more grain than the lambs will
clean up in, say, twelve hours, don't
cave 1t until they have finished 1t, but
sweep it out and put in fresh. These
sweepings need not be wasted, as other
i've stock will eat them, but you might
better waste them than to attempt to
make the lambs eat them.

When Ewes Refuse Nourishment.

Sometimes the cause of the ewes
refusing her newborn nourishment Is
Inflammation of the udder or extreme
soreness from some such cause. In
such cases that organ should be re-
lieyed Of part Of its contents, as such
course often leads to a reconcilia-
ton between the dam and her on
spring.
