IMPROBABLE PORK.

Too early killing of the breeding
sows is one of the reasons why pork
orally a SOW does her best service
with her second litter and from then
on until she is six years old. Recent
experiments at the Iowa State Col
lege show that two-year-old sows pro-
duce on an average twenty-five per
cent. larger filters, farrow heavier
pigs at birth and grow their pigs
much more rapidly than do one-year-
old sows. This being true. why do
our farmers persist in keeping young
sows for breeding purposes? The
mature ones are always the best

FAT IN FOODsTUFFs.

The fat contained in foodstuffs can
only serve as a fuel or energy pro-
Queer, or to build fatty tissue. Fatty
tissue furnishes potential energy and
is a reserve fuel supply for the ami
NAL. Protein may also in a case Of
need serve as an energy producer and
may be used to form fat, but the use
for such purposes is uneconomicaL

SPADE THE GARDEN.

AS soon as any crop of vegetables

so go over it again, which will save

ALFALFA PASTURE FOR HOGS

ALFALFA PASTURE FOR HOGS.
Mr.. E. s. T. writes us: "Will 1t
pay to run hogs on alfalfa pasture, or
would it be better to cut the alfalfa
and feed 1t green to the hogs?"
No doubt a greater tonnage of
green stuff can be secured by cutting
it daily and carrying out just what
the hogs will clean up nicely, but
would favor pasturing rather than
green feeding. The hogs seem to do
better. They like to get their noses
into the ground in search of roots;
and while they may do a little dam
age In turning up turf, let them go.
Alfalfa is our best pasture crop in
making pork cheaply. 1t comes on
earlier, makes rapid growth and stays
with us later than red clover. By all
means grow alfalfa, If you can, and
give the hogs chance to turn it into
pork.-Indiana Farmer.

Is THE HEN A PROFIT EARNING
FACTOR ON THE FARM?
Given Square Deal VIII Return An1rnaafave
Answer BY Prof Err Kansas.

A representative OF the Kansas ex.
pertinent station. during the summer
Of 1906, made personal visits to over
100 farms located throughout the CEN
tral and eastern portions OF the state.
Judging from these visits, the follow
Ing conclusion was drawn: Four
dfths or more OF the farmers have
houses separated from other buildings
for the accommodation Of the farm
poultry. The majority OF the remain
Ing farmers house their chickens In
leanto sheds or In stables and parts
Of other farm buildings. Some farm.
ers provide no building whatever for
their hens. Few farmers have yards
connected with their henhouses. A
still smaller number, and generally
those engaged In fancy-chicken breed
Ing, have partitioned houses and free
ranges.
The typical farm chicken house Is
sof q shed type. and an average size
OF about 10 BY is feet. 1t ID sided by
q single thickness OF boards, which
may be patent siding The interior is
tor the most part occupied with roosts.
usually arranged In the form OF a
ladder. The nests are commonly
open boxes. and may be set on the
door or nailed to the wall.
Many different styles OF chicken
houses prove equally successful in the
hands Of pouItrymen. 1t is unwise to
recommend the universal adoption OF
any one form. II the following points
are given careful study, any farmer
should be able to build successful
chicken house. suitable to his wants
and purse.
The house must be planned for the
hens comfort first, and then the
owner may add such embellishments
