A good hog pasture Is money
saver as we'll as a money maker.
Corn will go twice as far in hog
feeding II the hogs are on pasture.
Potatoes are too plentiful and cheap
this year to take any chance on poor
seed.
For the first few days after the SOW
has narrowed a litter she should be fed
very spar1ngly.
The management of the calf during
the first year has much to do with
its later usefulness.
There are but two satisfactory meth
DDS of treating animals with dip
hand treating and immersion.
Many fail to appreciate the value OF
bulk and succulence in feeding brood
sows during the period of pregnancy.
The sulky pillow and the gang when
properly adjusted make 1t easy to
guard against mistakes and careless
ness.
Sheep generally harbor one tape
worm, one fluke and several round
worms. especially If they are kept on
low, damp ground.
Don't turn the cows out in the pas
ture too early Let the grass get
good start and there will be more feed
produced during the season.
When turned out to water, each COW

Plums that fall to the ground should
be raked up and de-
stroyed TO prevent the caterpillar OF
the curculio coming out and going into
the ground to undergo further develop
ment.
Abundance OF grass will make some
of the best ewes continue to secrete
milk. and some OF them will cake"
every cake. however small, being a
source of danger when the udder

When the chicks are about twenty
four hours old they can be transferred
to the brooder, heated to about the
same temperature as the incubator,
and care should be exercised that they
are not chilled in the transfer.
Every herd OF COWS TO be profitable
at either milk or beef must be culled
annually, and the beef bred COW that
weighs 1900 to 1900 at FIVE or six
cents, counts better than the little Jer-
sey that weighs 700 to 500 at three
cents.
With both raspberries and black
berries prune off the top of the young
growing canes during the months of

quirements for eggs and meats. If

While We are waiting for the large
hens TO mature we are losing money In
