1t will soon be time to take young
pigs from the sows, and in weaving
them much care will be necessary TO
avoid stunning them or stopping their
growth. When about three weeks old
the young pigs will begin to look
around for feed, and a pen should then
be provided for them where they can
be coaxed and given little fresh
milk-it takes very little at first-after
they have once tasted the milk they
may be easily called to their feed.
Corn should be constantly kept in this
pen and the little pigs have free access
to it at all times. Mix or swill should
be fed to them, little at first, and
Increased gradually daily. 1t will be
beneficial to give them all the fresh,
clean swill they will drink up clean
ut each feed. Never feed little pigs
anything sour, or so much swill that it
will stand in the trough and sour. Feed
them this way until you see that the
SOW is dried up, then remove her and
the pigs will be weaned.

In mixed breeding, or cross breed
ing, nothing is accomplished beyond
the first cross, says a Colorado veter-
mary bulletin. While a few good in
dividuals may be secured, the tend
ency is forN the progeny to be below
rather than above the average. A man
conducting hisAbreeding in a haphaz-
ard way is contending with fearful
odds, cropping in the dark following a
will-o'-the wisp. In a hundred years
he would be just where he started. In
cidentally this is just what we have
been doing in this country from the
beginning, and the reason why we
have so few pure breeds of live stock

Don't Neglect the Garden.

In summer the farmer has plenty of
work on hand, and work that must
have prompt attention, but the work
needed in the garden is that which he
should least neglect. His living depends
on 1t, at least he ought to think so, and
act on that belief. 1t is certain that
there is no other part of his entire
work so important to the health and
comfort of his family and himself. and
the actual saving of expenses which n
bounteous garden insures is a feature
which alone warrants him in making n
good garden, no matter what other
work many cause him to defer. 1t is
presumed that he has by this time of
year made all necessary preparations
for a supply of fruit for family use
during the entire summer, and much of
the provision for a supply of staple
vegetables should be completed, but
there IS time for much more, and it
will not pay to neglect it.
