Never piow burrows up ana down
the face Of hill II they can - well
be run across its face. In such places
there Il no fear Of water lying 90 -
to do damage, but there is great
chance Of drought lessening the
yield. This Is especially the case II
burrows up and down the hill provide
facilities for a quick run-off In case
Of q downpour Of rain. Where there
are no such burrows for the escape OF
the water. It will be much more likely
to soak In.
Corn is In ideal condition for the
silo when It Is in ideal condition to be
cut for fodder. 1. e.. when the kernels
are well glazed and just before the
foliage begins to brown. Corn at this
stage introduced into a well-construct-
ed silo and carefully spread and well
tramped has never failed In our ex-
perience to produce ideal silage.
Hogs make their most profitable
growth in summer, when they are
young, but this will not be true un-
less they have something to eat.
Plenty of pasture and milk with
some grain will help them along at
time when they are best able to

After the pigs are two weeks old
they may be turned into a lot TO-
gether, where they may be fed with
out being disturbed by the sows. The
feeding lot of the pigs should be con-
nected with the sow's pen by small
opening through which they may pass
back and forth at will.
Alfalfa is making good in the east,
and farmers are realizing that 1t Is
comparatively easy to get stand. BY
the use of lime and plenty OF stable
manure. This is ideal pasture for
swine and no harm will be done the
crop II pastured lightly.
There are no secrets about good
dairying. The farm journals tell all
there is about II over and over, but
the man who does not read and apply
modern methods remains In ignor-
ance, and possesses an empty pocket
book.
The average dairy farmer takes II
as a matter of course that cows us
ually shrink during the fall and fal
away in their flesh condition, and
therefore he makes no plans to re
move the cause of the falling away.
A good brood SOW Of whatever
breed must have big feeding capa
city in order to produce plenty o
milk. For this reason II Is never Wis
to buy a SOW with a short, chunk,
body set on too short legs.
In buying a farm one of the mos
important things to consider is tn
