WATER For HOGS.

An abundant supply of cool water
and protection from the sun are both
necessary for the successful raising
of hogs and should be the first things
supplied in the preparation of the hog
department of the farm.
The spring brook, the running
stream, the slough, the well and the
mud hole, all have been tried and
have their advocates for adoption
and use. A good spring or small
running stream is the best possible
water supply for any kind of live
stock.
The we'll and pump furnishes a
good, healthy water supply for the
hog. This does not interfere with the
mud bath, or the fresh water bath
which some hog raisers prefer, and
have provided for their hog lots by
cementing shallow pools dug in the
ground These are piped full of fresh
water every few days and cleaned out
as often. A little disinfectant is oc-
casionally used. This helps keep both
hog and pool in good sanitary condi-
ton.

ture size. They are not prolific, the
females producing usually but two pigs
at a litter. The general characteris-
tics are coarseness, long neck and
long, heavy snout. The hair is coarse
and the bristles on the top of neck and
shoulders become a name with the
males. The legs are long, body mar
row, and the flesh is lean muscles, not
intermingled with or overlaid with adj
pose membrane-fat.
To look at a modern hog is to see
an illustration of what wonderful
transformations have been made by
the skill and intelligence of men who
have bent their energies toward his
improvement. At present there is
an air of refinement. In place of the
bristles is the fine hair. The size of
bone has been reduced, the legs,
snout and neck have been shortened,
the face, back loin and hips have been
widened, and the general appearance
is that of comeliness in contrast with
the ugliness of his wild ancestors.
The flesh is made up largely of mus
cles intermingled with and overlaid
with fat. The flesh posits of fat on
the back, sides and jowl are one of
his leading characteristics.
The Transformation has been
brought about by improving his gener-
al conditions, making his habitations
and surroundings comfortable, and the
generous use of grains as food. From
the slow maturing, wild, vicious, I'M
prolific, detestable and despicable (as
he was despised by the Jews) and
nearly worthless animal he was, he
has been brought by process of evo-
luton (unfolding) and devolution
Casting off undesirable characteris-
tics) to be the mild, tractable, prolif-
ic, early maturing and profitable ami
NAL, the meat of which is considered
not only a necessity and luxury as
food, and he is almost indispensable
as a creature to consume and convert
many of the would-be-without-him
worthless products on the farm into
marketable, palatab1e and profitable
meat. While we have done much to-
ward making the hog profitable on the
farm by the use of various kinds of
feeds, there is a great field open be-
fore us for study and improvement in
general methods of management.

THE BREEDING SOW.

The success of the pig crop will de-
pend to large extent on care in the
selection of the SOW. There are GER
tain facts which govern to marked
degree the usefulness of SOW, re-
CARELESS of the breed. There is
certain type, particular breediness
that characterizes the profitable SOW.
Likewise there are peculiar striking
points that are found in the undesir-
able individual. These are governed
to a marked degree by feeding and
management and probably to some
what lesser extent by breeding.
The young SOW that has been fed an
exclusive diet of corn, and deprived OF
a sufficient allowance of pasture and
with it exercise, is an unsafe PROPOSE
ton for breeding. 1t is such sows as
these that have trouble in farrow-
ing, farrow small, weak pigs, and then
within a few days eat a large share
of them. On the other hand, the loose
ly-built strengthened, deep-bodied SOW
you will find has invariably been
raised on a better balanced" ration.
She may not have been fed on an ex-
cessive amount of high-priced condi-
ments or stock foods, but on alfalfa
pasture with plenty of water and a
moderate quantity of corn will keep
her in proper condition for narrowing.
A slop ration of bran and shorts will
help just before narrowing and should
be continued while sucking the lit

About Horses.

Observe the following things about
horses: The grain box should be
large, with broad bottom, so that the
grain will scatter and not get bolted.
See to it that the work collars fit
and that they are kept soft and
clean. There are few things more dis
couraging in the beginning of busy
season than horses with sore should
ers, and this vexation and cruelty can
be avoided by the exercise of proper
care.
A we'll grown yearling is worth
more than a stunted two-year-old.
The brood mare should have few
hours exercise in the yard or on the
road every day. It does not pay to
keep her confined.
The horses and colts should be kept
away from the hens and hogs. The
odor of the pigpen is offensive to the
horse, and hen lice are hard to eradi-
cate.
Never shout at young horse while
training him.
Irregular feeding makes thin horses
no matter what amount is given.
Keep the colts feet in good shape.
Do not let the toes become too long.

THE HOG AS HE WAS AND Is.

By N A. Clapp, in Michigan Farmer.
We have been taught by the best
authorities on the subject that our
domestic hogs are descended from the
various species of wild hogs Of Europe
and Asia The habits of the wild hog
are far from that of grain or seed
eating animals alone. They are ON
niverous, feeding on a great variety
of foods, roots, insects, worms, herbs,
seeds or trees and plants, as we'll as
the flesh of other animals. The gen.
eral makeup of the animal, and es-
pecially the muzzle, is constructed in
manner which makes 1t an imple-
ment for turning up the soil while
searching for food in the shape of
roots, seeds, worms and other things
which he consumes that help make up
the role of his varying, though not
very generous, diet.
The growth of the wild hog is very
slow. 1t requires as many as eight
to ten and twelve years to reach ma

1t costs less to raise two hogs
weighing $50 pounds than one weigh
ing 500 pounds. Whatever the hog as
Stimulates in excess of the maintenance
ration goes for growth, and it is this
excess that counts. The rate of growth
decreases iwth the size and age of the
animal and the amount of feed re-
uuired for maintenance increases.

The Tamworth is a bacon hog with
