Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and

value; a laxative which physicians could

In supplying that demand with its x

Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark

w. r. Gilbert, an authority on hog
raising says OF the cary maturing OF
stock:
There are two ways Of doing stock
lone Is to do them rather badly at
start, and rush them at the end;
this is very generally practiced. The
other way is to do them well all the
way through, and get them to finish
off as soon as possible consistent with
their age. / know which / am In IA
yor Oft Is the latter method, as it
not only secures superior stuff, but 1t
Is well known to all who have tried 1t
that the animals that are pushed in
every reasonable way are the most
profitable. / new yet knew the hang
ers-on prove first rate in the end, or
leave a big lot of profit behind them.
They grow slowly and get into a kind
Of standstill condition. 1t is these we
often hear 1t remarked of hat they
are little or no better than when seen
months previous. They neither have
good frames nor capabilities for catch
ing up their hindrances which stamped
them as moderate or inferior in their
earlier days. II is about these one is
often forced to observe that the are
no further forward than they were
weeks or months ago.
When a well treated animal comes
to be fattened or finished off, it is a
NcIy easy OpSTdLlOU with n
worrying up hill work necessary to get
the inferior ones up anywhere near
the mark. 1t is then one wishes thew
had been more generous, either in
buying in a better class, or in treating
home reared animals. This applies to
bacon pigs and porkers, sheep, lambs
and beef. What detestable things old
lanky pigs are to fatten! They devour
endless food before they attain any,
thing near quality. Young lamb in
perfect condition is a delicacy of the
first order, but when they only Green
into salable and slaughtering order they
are little better than common mutton
and sell accordingly.
What a run there is after prime
young fat cattle when put under the
hammer or sold in other WAYS hut
there is rarely a keen or top price de-
mand for those hat had to drag
themselves into q kind of presentab HE
condition. There is always much credit
to anyone pointing out animals espe-
cially well grown for their age. but
the aged and backward call for no com
pliments. Horses cannot be very
well hurried to maturity, as working
them too early is never advisable,
Cows, too, must ave q certain time
to become fruitful, but the butcher
stock might in innumerable cases be
hurried on more than it is, with con-
spicuous advantage to a" concerned.

In the opinion of the Chicago Live Stock
World, corn fed cattle are going to be
the goods all summer and that quality,
not weight, will be the dominating infiu~
ence in the future. 1t says: Buyers will
bid for choice beeves eagerly, no matter
what the weight, although, of course, light
and medium stuff will have the call. Not
even in 1902 were corn-fed beeVes as scarce
tillery-fed stuff. or grassers there will
be an increasing profusion right along
and the beef that kind Of cattle can be
converted into ought to be less of a luxury
than for three months past, but the good
ones, for which there is always a limited
demand, will take care Of themselves right
along. With corn at present prices cat
tie on low altitude pastures will get less
of II than usual, and everything with a
finish will command a legitimate pre-

If this summers run OF swine should
swell above the average summer move
ment 1t will be at the expense of some
of the good breeding stock that has been
held in the hands of corn belt farmers
with such excellent results in recent years.
says the Northwestern Agriculturist. Dis
~couraging prices for hogs during the last
winter have operated to repress the en-
thusiasm regarding hog production with
which the atmosphere Of rural regions
was so thoroughly surcharged in years
heretofore. Already there is evidence Of
a widespread inclination to reduce the
production of pigs. With much curtail-
ment in the production at such a time
we all know what 1t will mean. The
man who sticks to hog breeding persist
emily in the depressed year as well as
the years when prices are popping up
TO render that business the best money
maker on the farm will have hogs to sell
at good prices all through the time when
the man who sacrifices his good breed
ing stock and gets out is kicking him
self because he got out just at the wrong
time.

SOME GOOD HOG ADVICE.

When first weaned, feed the pigs
from three to five times a day. While
with their mother they took their
meals at least every two hours and
too sudden a change Is detrimental.
After they get to growing vigorously
u down to two meals a day, and
when they weigh rs pounds each and
are on good pasture feed once, a day
and that at night.
When first weaned feed the pigs
some skim milk If possible. 1t makes
the change from mothers milk easier.
Whole milk is good, but as butter fat
Is worth $500 to $40 a ton, 1t Is ex-
pensive pig feed. Tankage will taxi
the place of milk, making it about
one-1fth the total weight of the grain
fed.
A variety of feeds will give larger
n cheaper gains than will any single
feed. Peas, barley, wheat, rye, milo
maize and corn are the grains to use
In Colorado. Soak from "a to 48 hours,
each time feeding a mixture of at least
w grains.
Do not sour the feed, and keep the
troughs, pals and barrels used in feed
ing sweet n clean.
Half the weight OF a zoo pound pig
Should be made from pasture. Alfalfa
makes the best pasture, followed by
rape, clover and a mixture of wheat,
oats and barley sown thickly.
Keep the pasture short for young
pigs, as fresh growth is the most
easily digested. and tall nastures, when
wet, often make the pigs have sore
skins. Have two pastures and change
from n to the other, so tina the pigs
will always have clean feed.
they need fresh, clean water always
before them. If a well is not conven-
lent. h water can be supplied cheaply
IN barrels to which are attached hog
Waterers.
They must have a warm, dry. clean
shelter, free from draft every night in
the year, and they need a shade from
the midday sun.
II the pigs are lousy when weane ed.
dip them twice 10 days apart. Put up
short posts in the feed lot and pas-
lures. Wrap these posts with old sacks
and once a week ~saturate the sacks
with crude oil or kerosene. The pigs
Will rub on these n the oil will kill
the lice.
Cholera can be controlled and DOS
sibly e~radicated, but it will never be
done till there is either concerted ac-
ton between the states subject to il.
or government interference. AS long
as shipments out Of infected areas. in
tercourse between clean and uncleHn
spots, and criminal carelessness on the
part of owners n shippers, are al
lowed. we will have the outbreaks lust
as we have had them In the past.
There Is little to be hoped for from
concerted action between states. and
hence government action holds out the
only promise of any immediate relief.

Once a useful rat trap was missing.
