Fencing material, all things consid
cred. Around the field to be used fo,
| pasture run a woven wire fence 81
inches high with three strands Of
oarDed wire above. This fence will
not only turn hogs but Other live
stock.
For convenience in preparing the
land and planting the crops, it is best
not to divide the pasture up with
permanent fences. When the crops
are ready for the hogs, by using the
hurdle or portable fence, the field maj
be divided into lots of any size. The
hurdle fence is simple and cheaply
made and when not in use can be
taken down and stored under a shed
until needed again.
There is a mistaken idea held by
some that alfalfa, red clover, rape
and similar crops will produce profit.
able gains when pastured without
grain. The practical trials made at
many experiment stations prove this
not true. OF the many forage plants,
alfalfa is one of the most satisfactory
for hogs, since 1t can be made per
manent pasture and is rich in protein.
making an excellent combination with
corn. The leaves are tender and the
stem small, which make it easily mas
t1cated, and it is very much relished
At the Mississippi station careful
tests have been made to determine the
value of alfalfa pasture without grain
for hogs. Pigs ranging in age from
three to twenty-four months have
been used, and the results of two
years work show that alfalfa is little
more than maintenance ration for
growing hogs without grain. Satisfac-
tory gains have always been secured
rom alfalfa pastures by supplement-
ing the pasture with from one to two
per cent. of the weight of the hogs in
corn or other grain.
CoWpeas without grain so far has
given better results than any other
crop for hog pasture. In one test the
crop was grown on thin hill land.
where one acre of cowpeas produced
$50 pounds of pork. In another test
on rich valley land one acre of cow
peas produced 4S3 pounds of pork.
The hogs were put in the field when
the peas were about ripe.

ACorner in Ancestors
Moore Family
By ELEANOR LEXINGTON
Copyright by Mcclure Syndicate,

In Gaelic the word for great or
large. also powerful and chieftain, is
more or mhor. Variations of the word
are moir, moor and moore. The ap-
pellation was without doubt given
originally to men by reason of their
great stature or high station.
For nearly IL centuries rulers of
Scotland were Mores by name or de-
scent. If "Mores," why not "Moores?"
Doubtless the names were exchange
able, for certain one-a hero of TO-
nance, or of face-was More of More
Hall" and he was also called Moore
of Moore Hail." The. name is also
spelled Moor and Mooer, also Mooers.
