A pig can be raised by the hand
method as easily as a calf, If the same
pains are taken with it.
Pounds of meat or amount and quail
ity of other products that an animal
will provide are what count.
If SOW proves good breeder, there
is no reason why she should not be
kept as long as she produces strong
pigs.
To the intelligent corn grower
weedy field spells a shiftless farmer
who is fooling with his chances of sue
| cess.
| Do not allow any fruit to ripen on
berry plants set this season. Prema-
ture fruit-bearing stunts the growth of
the plants.
| The man who raises pigs ought to
have field of peas into which they
can be turned just before the peas
| become hard.
The richest color of the cream is
| when it first rises to the surface, and
If churned in that condition the butter
will be yellow.
You will have to spray with kero-
sene emulsion to reach the cabbage
lice. Be sure to get it on the under
side of the leaves.
Corn has become a good crop,
whether hogs are high or low, but it Is
not a good plan to plant more corn
than can be we'll tended
Cocks should not be allowed to run
with the hens during moulting, so that
as the number of hens not moulting
decreases they should be confined with
the cocks.
Anyone who will knowingly sell milk
from a diseased COW well deserves
the epithet of criminal, for his act is
nothing short of crime. To sell filthy
milk or butter is scarcely less repre-
hensible.
The trouble with q great many poul-
try keepers is that they think they
can fly before they are really able to
walk. Take time to learn the bust
ness. BY and by the flying will come
easy enough.
There is some difference in the cost
of corn whether it Is ''hogged down.
by sheep and lambs in the field, or
high priced help husks it and hauls 1t
to the station, and high priced
railroads ship it to feeding yards.
1t is a law of nature that all plants
must have a season of rest from ac-
tive growth. In the tropics this is
done in the dry season. No plant
can be forced into continual growth
without weakening it and finally kill
ing it.
The cockerels which are to be
marketed should, of course, be fed
a more fattening ration than the pull
let's, and those which are to be used
as breeders should be kept from the
pullets until about six weeks before
the eggs are wanted for Matching.
AS soon as the cockerels get old
enough to pay attention to the pull
lets they begin fighting and the
weaker birds are crowded out and
don't get their share of feed. Fol
this reason the sexes should be sepa
rated so as to allow full ana rapid
development.
There is no better way to warm 6
hen up in the morning than to scat
ter some warm wheat around in {
good clean layer of straw and let then
down to business as soon as it is fair
ly light and stick to it till they have
+ earned their breakfast. BY that tim'
t they are as warm as a toast.
