MISTAKES IN FEEDING HOGS.

j. l.. Stratton told the farmers insti-

2. It Is a mistake for the city farm
er, living In town to trust the feeding
Of his hogs to the average hired man,
He Is not Elesly to make a success OF
1t.
s. It is q mistake to try to raise hogs
on an exclusive diet. You ask what
kin Of feed to give them. I will ask
what kind of feed can be produced on
your farm and in your locality, then
should be given In such relation to
each other as to meet the varied needs
of the swine system.
4. It 10 a mistake to forget that. the
hog IL q grazing animal.
5. 1t 10 a mistake IL the hog Is not
FED In g clean place, free from boti

Z. Ordinarily. it is a mistake not to
feed the liquid before the solid food.
8. It 10 a mistake to feed constipat-
ing food, and nothing to correct II.
8. It 10 q mistake to feed breeding
stun as IL you were fitting 1t for mar
10. It is a mistake to feed all sizes
together, whenever the smaller ones
are to a disadvantage.
III. It Is q mistake not to provide
the herd with comfortable quarters AT
all times. Failure In this will impair
the usefulness Of the feed.
~. II 70 9 mistake not to grow the
pigs rapidly from birth to market. They
should gain every pound possible on the
way.
10. It ia a mistake to feed the brood
sow much corn before narrowing. She
should have cooling and laxative foods

lily Tor some days after narrowing.
10. II 10 a mistake to feed her pigs
sou 1000 when they are learning to

pigs bone and muscle forming mater

~. II 10 O mistake to try to feed
both n pig or hog. and the worms
that may be In him, or the lice that
may De on him. And the hog would
tell you 80, II he knew how.
IL. It 10 a mistake IL hogs are not
fed at regular intervals.
10. It Is a mistake. as a ruIe IN
