FOR THE SWINE BREEDER.

Hogs fed on corn meal and tankage
require a great deal of water and
this adds to the digestibilty OF the
feed and helps to make gain.
4 hog Will eat almost anything
shen very hungry, but his appetite
should be tempted with palatable food
if he is to make the greatest posi-
BILE profit.
The fact that hogs require a great
deal Of water makes feed fed as slor
more desirable than dry feed.
Southern farmers have learned that
feeding cotton seed meal in large
quantities is bad business as it often
leads to fatalities. Fed in small
quantities. however. with corn and
alfalfa it is beneficial.
One good way to feed alfalfa dur
ing the winter is to chop it into about
4 inch lengths. Soak it in hot water
or steam it in q barrel or tank
Steaming feed for hogs is an easy
matter All that is required is q large
box connected with a small boiler by
a one-inch pipe The pipe should
connect the box at the bottom
Too much feed should not be steam
ed at one time as 1t is apt to become
I sour and unpalatable.
4 young hog takes on fat more
/ rapidly than an old one and We should
/ know at what age it is unprofitabIe
/ to continue to shovel corn into ?
hog.
Never feed more than the hogs
Will eat up cleanly. Many farmers de
not practise this but keep a QUANTITY
Of uneaten feed lying around the In

The mercury has ranged in the day

There will be an interesting case be.
fore Justice T. W. Boydston II Con.
stable Charles w. Hawkins is able to
find Benny Mcdonald and Margaret
Hildebrand. On information lodged
with Justice Boydston a warrant was
sworn out for the arrest OF the two
above mentioned. The Information
was given by Ida Devall and is to the
effect that the parties named in the
warrant stole and carried away one
silk dress valued at eighteen dollars
and fifty cents and one white under
skirt and other wearing apparel to
the value Of one dollar and fifty cents.
The value of the articles is twenty
dollars sufficient to make 1t felony
charge. Constable Hawkins has had
a lively chase but has not yet been
able to locate the people wanted.
