FEEDING RACK FOR ALFALFA

A large number of successful farm CTS feed alfalfa hay on the ground. claiming that hogs are almost cer- tain 10 pull the hay out of racks and eat it from the ground more or less anyway. In cold weather when the ground is frozen or when the yard is dry. there would seem to be no seri- ous objection to feeding alfalfa in this manner. Hogs are less delicate in their choice of food than other farm animals and are inclined to eat the hay though it has been somewhat soiea. If. however. the ground is soft there is certain to be consider able waste, due to the fact that some of it is trampled into the mud
 At the Nebraska experiment farm alfalfa hay is fed to hogs from an or dinary sheep rack. having vertical slats about three inches apart, just wide enough to permit the hogs to reach the hay These racks stand about four feet high and are approxi- mately three feet wide at the top and eighteen inches at the bottom The

The rack has been used by several well known farmers in the state and all who have tried 1t seem well pleased, owing to the simplicity of its construction and the fact that there is little waste of hay. It is. made by using 30-inch wire fence in-- verted so that the larger openings wilIt be at the bottom.

They are also light ins weight and can be moved from one part of the yard to another without difficulty.

FARMS OF AMERICA

vided which show the north central states to have gained S5,000. 100000 in the value of farms in the last decade, the report says:
 Observe, however, the stupendous totals of farm values in the north central states, including Ohio. Indiana, Illinois. Michigan. Wisconsin. Mime sota, Iowa. the Dakotas. Nebraska and Kansas. This vast group has gained almost an even $5,O00.0 100000 in the fair worth of its farms compared to ten years ago.
 Observe further the remarkable fact that this gain represents fully half the total gain in agricultural values for the whole country during the decade just closed Also the total of value for these farm lands exceeds the total of all the rest of the coun- try put together"
 The figures show that there were 290. 900 farms in Illinois. which gave $5S7 .OO0, 900 worth of products. Only Texas and Iowa exceed Illinois in pro duction.
 A reason is given for both the great increase in farm values and products by the higher prices which have pre- vailed to a great extent. for few people realize that the productions of the farms in the United States during 1909 conservatively represent twice the value of 1899"
 The wonderful recovery from the lower basis of produce values which characterized the last few decades is called to the attention of the public. Says the report:
 "The farm produce of the year just closed was worth almost four times as much as the product of 1889 A four fold increase in the value of farm pro auctions within 20 years Is also some thing unprecedented. The crop years 1899 and 1909 were characterized by fairly good average conditions Of ell mate. weather, etc. taking the coun- try as a whole. Therefore the com parison Is fair one, not influenced by a so-called bumper year.
 "Conditions have changed. Ameri- can agriculture must change with these conditions Population Is over taking consumption Even with this increase in quantity and value of farm productions the United States ex- port, q during 1909 a smaller quantity of agricultural products than in 1900 though the value of such exports was

As hogs are quite notably affected by extremes of cold and heat, the character of their shelter will have much to do with their successful rearing. The above being true, we will naturally do best with hogs when we have arranged their home and feeding grounds, to a certain extent, at least. such as he would choose for himself in his wild state. writes J. E. Bridgman in American Agriculturist. Proper shelter is no doubt the first and most serious question, and while the perfect hog house has not up to date been invented, great improve ments have been made during the past few years.
 The accompanying illustrations show hog house that Is well adapt ed to almost every climate, except the extreme south.

A galvanized iron vent stack is placed over the cooker to carry away the steam. and good brick fiue is built in the corner as shown. The house is sided with drop siding, and lined on the inside with 6-inch floor ing. Each pen has small window and one leading to the driveway, also one leading to the yards. A sliding door, shown at B, closes the driveway from the feed room A good tight floor is laid in the loft, and a 5xS open door left for passing down bed ding and for a ventilator
 All hog men have their own ideas of arranging the feed and water troughs. However, a good plan Is shown in the pen marked X. A nest is built in the rear corner, water trough placed in front, a feed trough along the side, and 2x4 timber is then placed across the pen from the rear end of feed trough. This makes a feeding floor for ear corn, and the hogs will seldom foul this part of the floor The house should set on a good foundation, and have good tight roof, and the exterior-exposed woodwork should receive at least two
