ECONOMICAL HusklNo MACHINE.

The "hogging down" of corn not
only reads well on paper, but works
out well in practice. A friend related
rience with this method of feeding.
He fenced off ten acres hog tight and
turned in 125 hogs, including spring
pigs and sows. They worked into the
field quite Systematically from the
point where they were turned in and
cleaned up the field in just six weeks.
The owner states that he never had
pigs grow so fast. They were at the
troughs in the feed yard squeaiing for
water at daybreak and as soon as
their thirst was slaked made for the
field and were not heard from again
until the next morning. They would
eat their I'LL of the corn and then lie
around until they got hungry again.
Our friend estimates that the field OF
corn cleaned up in the above manner
averaged about fifty-hve bushels to
the acre, SO that the saving on husk-
ing the $50 bushels, at cents per
bushel, was 500, or enough to more
than pay for the extra fencing need
ed. Besides this, good bunch of fer
tilizer was left on the ground and the
soil put in first rate shape for disking
or blowing next spring. 1t is more
than likely that when the excellent
result of this method Of feeding be-
comes more generally known it viii

the farmer who does not have faith or

buying good sires and dams. The ini-
tial outlay may seem larger than Il
ought to, but one gets his reward In
due time in largely increased financial
returns. Many business concern

KEEPING SEEDS OVER WINTER.

KEEPING SEEDS OVER WINTER.
Conditions which prevail beneath the
ordinary hard shell nut bearing tree
during the winter months give pref
ty good idea of the best way to keep
their seed over for spring planting.
Under conditions mentioned the seeds
are usually covered with grass and
leaves and freeze, the moisture in the
nut causing the shell to split, which
frees the germ so that it can start
growing when the warns days Of
spring arrive. While tree seeds or
nuts of the above kind may be allow
ed to freeze, they should be so stored
that they will freeze and thaw al
Tentatively as little as possible. While
the seed of the soft and hard maple
is frequently kept through the win
ter by storing carefully at tempera-
ture slightly above freezing, nature
provides for these tenderer seeds by
maturing them early in the summer SO
that they may fall to the ground and
terminate and get start in life be-
fore the cold winter weather comes
on. The same thing is true of the
seeds borne by the cottonwood and
elm
