GROWTH OF PIGS.
Difference Observed In tho Develop
ment Up to WEAVING.

Pigs do not grow with the same
rapidity from the time they are born
till the time they are weaned
Whether this is due to the greater
ability some pigs have for digesting
food or whether it is due to the fact
that some pigs get more food than
others is matter for conjecture.
The average weight of Poland
China pigs is in the neighborhood OF
three pounds at birth. In one case
on record, a pig that weighed 80
pounds at birth, weighed at time OF
weaving, 10 days after birth, 46.9
pounds. Another pig of the same lit
ter weighed 80 pounds at birth and
in 20 days weighed STD pounds. An
other pig of the same litter weighed
3.2 pounds at birth and only 21.S
pounds at time of weaving. 70 days
later; and a pig that weighed only 1.9
pounds at birth, weighed 1856 at time
of weaving
This latter started out as runt,
but outstripped another pig that was
of normal size at BIRTH His prenatal
development was against him. but he
had "a supply of energy that enabled
him to develop vigorously after birth.
In the so days after weaving, this
pig, that started out as runt gained
44,5 pounds in weight, while the
heavier pig of the litter of eight-a
pig weighing at birth $50 pounds
gained 35 pounds in the SO days after
weaving.
AT the end of the 1870 days from
BIRTH the pig that was the runt at
birth weighed SOL pounds, while the
other pig weighed S1.9 pounds. He
was just LIS pounds heavier than the
one developed from the runt. 1t is
interesting to note that the heavier
pig was at birth heavier by IL
pounds and that after 100 days he
was Is pound heavier. The one
tenth pound might be due to error in
weighings. So these two pigs held
their relative weights from birth to
the age of 120 days. but not the per
centage of difference.
This goes to show that very little
pig at birth may be just as valuable
for the feeder as big one.
However, it would take great
many examples of this kind to indi-
cate law. We have not much
data of this kind on which to base
conclusions.

NAME WAS A COMPROMISE.
Explanation Of Remarkable Coeno.
men Of Nevada Town.

A Nevada man having extensive
mining claims in the goldfeld region
tells Of a lucky strike that was made
last year near Carson City. a strike
that proved to be of such promise that
. goodly sized camp Immediately
sprang up around 1t.
The two principal mine owners
were, respectively, an Irishman and
Jew. and as a compliment to these
leading citizens the camp decided to
leave to them the bestowal of a suit
able name upon the new community.
There followed many conferences
between the two, none of which result
ed in an agreement. The Irishman
stood out for a name that would sug-
gest his native isle, while the Jew was
Just as insistent, on his part. for a
name that should be suggestive Of the
chosen people. This deadlock con-
tinued SO long that the rest Of the
camp grew restless. and finally insist
ed that there should be a compromise.
So the new camp was called "Tipperu-
salem.

FATTEN PIGS ON MILK.
With Grain So High Priced Milk is
Specially Desirable.

With feedstuffs at present high
prices the farmer is in quandary He
realizes that in order to fatten stock
of any kind he must be liberal with
the feed. At the same time he feels
that with corn and other grains worth
more than for many years he is feed
ing gold to his animals. He will find,
however. that for fattening pigs there
is nothing better than milk. Some
feeders claim that with grain at pres
en- prices there is more money in
feeding milk to hogs than in convert
ing it into butter. Many tests by the
experiment stations demonstrate that
an average of about Az pounds of
skim milk is equal in weight produc-
ing value as a hog feed to one pound
of corn meal, independent of it's quail
tiles as health. bone and muscle
promoter. There is but little differ
ence in the feeding value of skim milk
and buttermilk when they are fed in
prime condition. But for pigs and
half-grown shoats plenty of milk, sup
plemented with good pasturage and
even a light grain ration in which
ground oats, shorts and bran FREEDOM
mate, constitutes an ideal ration for
forcing rapid growth in bone and
muscle, increased weight and a
healthy, thrifty condition.

FEEDING HOGS.
The Kind Of Food Has Much to Do
with the Quality Of the Meat.

But few farmers think of the In
fiuence of feeding on the quality of the
bacon or pork. 1t Is well-known fact
that mast" makes soft, oily bacon,
as do peanuts and other light feeds.
Corn Is not always. best for an exclu-
sive diet, but if pig has been kept
growing and has plenty of good pas
ture till it is six months old and
weighs say $50 to 200 pounds, it will
be well to feed 1t on corn altogether
till another 100 pounds Is gained Aft
or a pig is fat it is best to finish off
by feeding a mixed ration of skim
milk and oats or barley for a few
weeks before butchering, says the
Farmers Voice Skim milk has ten
dency to make the pork more firm, as
has likewise both oats and barley.
Pigs that have not had proper pas
turage while growing will not make
as good bacon as those that have been
properly cared for. Before the sub
ject of curing bacon is touched it is
well to look so far ahead as the grow
ing Of the pig.

HOG HINTS.

Too much corn is still being fed to
growing pigs.
Worms are frequent cause of lack of
thrift in hogs.
Growing pigs should have we'll
mixed diet to give good frame.
The hog is not dirty animal when
not forced to have dirty quarters.
Do not permit lice to live on the
hogs. They will interfere greatly with
the well-being of the animals.
Many owners of hogs have never
awakened to the necessity for keep
ing the hog quarters absolutely clean
1t is not necessary to husk corn for
pigs They do it just as well, and
usually little better, on snapped
corn

Sunday morning, but the storm broke
over the bay suddenly and unexpect-

of smashing them against the steel

Hinged or Sliding Windows.

Some poultrymen have sliding win
dows and seem satisfied with them.
The men that have the hinged win
dows say they prefer that style over
the other kind chiefly because in wet
and stormy weather the wind does not
beat in to wet the birds. as it does
when the windows slide in grooves.
In the hinged windows the hinges are
at the top and the window is opened
at the bottom. The windows can
easily be held open at various dis
tances and the rain falls down. All
the air comes in at the bottom Of the
opening, and this keeps the poultry
house dry.

BREED GOOD HORSES.
Perfect Horse Should Have Form,
Action and Good Disposition.

Every civilized nation, and some of
the uncivilized ones, for that matter,
recognize the value of the horse. The
perfect horse is the noblest Of all ami
mails, and yet perfect horses are scarce.
To be perfect the horse should not
only possess form and action, but
should have a bod disposition. He
should be courageous and free from
hereditary diseases.
At the fairs and horse shows may
be seen all the best types of the horse.
They have been carefully and scien-
tifically bred and properly cared for
Out of the 100000 horses in the
United States, countless numbers suf
fer from cataract, sidebones, ring
bones, spavins, fistulas, springhalt or
navicular disease. II we want sound
perfect horses we must breed to the
best type of horse and mare. says the
Journal of Agriculture. In France the
government insists on veterinary inspec-
ton and the use Of unsound stations
Is not permitted. Perfect foals can
be spoiled by neglect or abuse. The
youngsters should be managed care
fully, fed generously and not be sub
ject to hard work before maturity.
The most remunerative branches Of
breeding are the heavy drafter and
the light harness classes. With care
in the selection of sound stations and
liberal system of raising the foals
the perfect horse can be produced that
will command top prices when offered
for sale in the open market.

Hog Pasture More Essential Than Ever

Hog pasture is now more essential
than ever before, as the grazing of the
hog is the phrase Of feeding him that
makes the most money. Green grass
and clover are still cheap. though
dried grass and dried clover are ad-
vancing in price. When corn was
cheap the pasture was Of secondary
consideration. With corn too high
to feed to hogs the pasture assumes =
position of great Importance.

Did You Thi, Year,

1t is surely true that the success
OF the dairyman comes not SO much
from the use of pasture grass and
soiling crops in summer, or the use
of hay and silage in winter. but
rather from his tact and forethought
in providing foods to carry him
through the critical periods OF the
season. which are early spring and
late fall.
