The hog grower of the future In
pork production as a business propo-
sition and not using hogs merely as
scavengers In the feed lot. must take
cognizance of the fact that the young
pigs up to the age of six months need
a growing and not fattening ration,
and that their feeding must be tenn
pered with judgment.
The first thing is to have every.
thing connected with the milk and
milking as clean as is possible to

to cool the milk as soon as possible
after It is drawn from the COWS and
held to low temperature till It is
to be used.
Some growers protect their fruit by
tying paper bags over the clusters

germs and widely disseminates the
disease.
Where whole milk is fed the calf TO
the time II is six or eight weeks old.
and then the calf sold for veal. not
as much money will be received for
the calf as could have been secured
for the whole milk which II took.
See that the farm machinery is
properly cared for before winter sets
