FEEDING OF THE YOUNG PIG
To Do 1t Properly Is Both an Art and
Science and Well Worth
Studying.

1t is both an art and science to
properly feed young pigs, and is some
thing well worth any farmers time to
study. The most economical gains
that a pig ever makes are made while
he is young, and upon his early
growth and the proper development
OF his digestive system depends the
economy and success with which he
will later be fattened. Hence one
must consider not alone supplying the
nutriments to make continuous growth
but supply such feeds as will develop
and prepare the digestive system for
The handling of the kinds and quaint
ties of feeds required in the finishing
process.
When the pig is born it's digestive
tract is filed with manure (the re-
suit of mucous excretions probably
called meconium. Nature has provid-
ed for the removal of this by making
the first milk of the dam very rich in
oily globules which act as laxative
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1909-08-26

and slide this meconium out readily.
If it is left in the system gases arise
from it, and it is absorbed into the
system, causing the pig discomfort
and sickness. If the dam for any rea-
son dies, very rich milk must be sup
piled to remove this meconium.
The muscles surrounding the diges-
tive canals of a little pig are not
strong. 1t is not natural they should
be. Therefore the little pig is not
fitted to cope with large amounts of
crude fiber 1t needs bulky but fine
feeds. Coarse cellulose, such as is
found in oats, barley and things of
that sort, it is almost impossible for
a small pig with it's rather feeble mus
cular activity to handle. The mucous
are tender and delicate. They become
irritated very easily by coarse, harsh
substances. Giving them rough, graf
ing feeds would produce about the
same sensation in their intestines that
getting cinder into the eye does upon
the membrane of the eyelid.
The cells of the digestive tract
through which the nutrients pass out
into the system are small. The alb
sorption powers of the pig are there
fore weak. He cannot handle as
many nutrients nor as easily as can
the large celled mature animal. To
give him more than he can absorb,
is not alone a waste of feed, but also
a waste of his energy. The nutrients
that he digests and does not absorb
simply pass out with the feces. They
do him no good at all, but he has
nevertheless had the work of digest
ing them.

the very near future-for the next
legislature does not meet until Janu-
airy of 1911. There are others who
point to the experience of South Da-
kota, which for 20 years fought the
evils of lax divorce laws before re-
peal was secured, and say that the
moralists of Nevada have an equally
stubborn task before them. But Ne
vada is cleaning house. In the last
session of the legislature, after gam
ing being permitted for 40 years with
cognizance of law, bill abolishing
gambling was passed-the act to take
effect in November of 1910-and it is
believed that if that could be done,
the slack divorce laws can be more
easily repealed.
In the meantime the hotel men and
cottage renters of Reno and the di-
vorce lawyers will continue to flour
ish. Partisan toilettes and 60 horse
power automobiles will flash and dart
through the quiet thoroughfares at all
sorts of hours. Men and women will
continue to become citizens" of Ne
vada on six-months' residence-and
leave the state forever the day after
securing their divorce DEGREES.

come back for several days It might be
toned in this connection that the divorce colony
has brought to Reno over 100 motor cars.
The leading hotels always crowded. and
the rents for cottages have appreciated, on the
average to the extent of so per cent. in the last
six months. In some instances the increase has
been much greater. One cottage that rented for
$50 month in January last, now returns its own
er a rental of 500 month.
Perhaps the one thing that endears Reno to
the visiting divorce more than anything else is
it's proximity to San Francisco. One may board
train in Reno and be in the Pacific coast metrop-
oils in ten hours. Despite it's manifold attrac-
tions life in Reno is likely to wear irksome upon
those who have been used to existence in larger
ceners, and the visitors, to great extent, soon
er later during their stay, take a trip or half
dozen trips over the Sierras to the city by the
Golden Gate.
Such visits while affording relief from the
monotony of life in Reno do not impair the resi-
dence qualifications necessary to the obtaining
of a divorce. To again quote the Nevada divorce
authority already mentioned
Under the provisions Of Section % of the
Marriage and Divorce act, the plaintiff must
side in the state for a period of at least six
months. This is not construed to mean that in
order to fully comply with the statute the party
must remain here continuously for said period
So if party comes to Nevada and, in good faith
takes up residence, the party may leave the
state at any time after establishing residence
may go and travel when and wherever the party
chooses, and may return to the state whenever in
clination prompts, and yet such temporary alb
would not in any wise affect the legality of
the residence established but the party would be
entitled under the law to bring suit any time
after the lapse of six months from the date resi-
dence originally established, Notwithstanding
the partys absence from the state during said
period
Biased somewhat by the financial seductions
of the situation and yet to learn the lesson that
such a state of affairs only result in the NOR
al degradation of the youth OF the community-a
lesson which caused South Dakota to reform her
divorce aws-Reno appears to be perfectly con-
tented with things as they
But Reno is busily engaged in cleaning house
and it is felt by the most reflective observers that
the divorce laws of Nevada as written will
be thing of the past in the near future. Not in

place for wethers. When prices for
mutton and wool are high wethers will
more than pay their way on almost
any range, but the profit they yield
compared to that from breeding ewes
is much less, and hence wethers are
being discarded by the more progress
sive sheepmen.
However, as mutton product weth-
ers are desired in the hotels, restau-
rants, dining cars and steamships
where the heavier cuts may be used
to advantage.
Prime wethers must be highly de-
veloped in form, quality and condition
and weigh from 95 to 125 pounds; how
ever, wethers weighing 140 pounds and
even more, frequently grade as prime if
all other conditions are right. This
class of mutton is used for export, al
though there is some demand for it in
larger cities Of this country.

MAKEUP OF HORSES TEETH
What They Consist of and How to
Tell an Early Foal from a

central incisors. If not, they will ap-

days, the two middle teeth, viz, the
two next on each side of the incis-
ors, develop, and in about two months
after appearance they become level
The third teeth on outside of the in
cisors or corner teeth are level with
the others at about eight months. Lit

some months. At one year the cups

These cups are the hollows in the

to tell an early foal from late one
at the foaling period by the develop
ing of the cups, if any, in the corner
of the teeth. In developing the colt
teeth the upper and lower usually
appear at the same time.
The permanent teeth begin to dis
place the colts teeth soon after the
animal reaches two years. This dis
placement is brought about by the
actual absorption of the fangs of the
permanent teeth. 1t begins with the
center incisors, which will show a
slight contraction, discoloring and q

But everything comes to him that waits. and
when the people of South Dakota arose in their
wrath last November and, by referendum vote,
declared that any who desired to get d.

present matrimonial ties began to take the long

'sWhile the laws of the eastern and middle
western states generally contain some provision
for the dissolution of the marriage tie, 1t Is oo-
vious to the reader that in cases where extreme
cruelty desertion, and failure to provide form the
basis of the grievance, the law in such states Oh
