Il have a model of house here that we
brought along because 1t is the kind that
most OF the most successful hog raisers
are coming 70 use. IL is an A-shape house,
about six feet square and running up TO
six feet at the peak. It's a good idea to
have the back slope In, too. so that you
can reach in the back window better and
give the SOW any attention she may need.
You can do just as you like about having
a. floor, but II you don't have one youll
have to put ring in the old sow's nose.
Scatter these houses out over the hog
pasture about twenty yards apart. You
won't need a fence around them. The old
SOW loves her home and will find a couple
of a right sooiable turn OF mind that will
want 70 bunk In together, but as a rule
they Woat bother that way. The advan-
tage OF having them scattered out this
way Is that there is little disturbance at
narrowing time. There Is always trouble
Of this kind In a centralized house. Some
OF the old sows aren't very ladylike when
Il Genes feeding time. They make lots Of
racket. and the SOW that 10 narrowing gets
excited and lies on her piss.
THE first week after narrowing is the
time the pig needs lots Of attention. The
extension department sent out a list Of
questions to the hog growers Of the state.
The average OF 4sl replies showed that
the averaged sized litter raised is four.
The average number Of pigs raised per
farm Is seventy-four and the average
number Of lost is twenty-five. There are
about a fourth OF the pigs farrOwed that
are a dead loss, and most OF this comes
right at narrowing time, or the first week
after. IL We could save enough pigs 20

INCREASE FROM ROTATION

Fresh from the press is a bulletin
on wheat growing in Missouri, by +.
ii. Demaree, assistant III agronomy at
the Agricultural Experiment Station
of the University of Missouri. While
Missouri is -eminently a corn state,
Professor Demaree nds, after COM
parsons extending over period of
five years, that there is really a great
er profit for the Missouri farmer in
growing wheat than in devoting his
land to corn. From many figures the
cost of producing an acre of corn is
approximately S12 and wheat SIS an
acre, according to Prof. Demaree. The
average production of wheat in this
state for the last five years has been
FL bushels an acre and corn 301
bushels. The average price of wheat
during the same period has been Sc
cents and corn Al cents bushel. At
these prices the value of an acre of
wheat has been s10.92 and an acre of
corn SLAP, which leaves profit,
when the cost of production is taken
out, Of 1922 an acre for wheat and
SAP for corn. The profit is little
enough. says Prof. Demaree, in either
case, but it could be greatly increased
by growing rotation of crops rather
than either of these continuously.
There is very little difference in the
relative merits of the different wheat
varieties so far as the yield is con-
cerned. according to Prof. Demaree.
White wheat and red wheat WELD prac-
tcally the same. Beardless varieties
do not have quite so great tendency
to lodge as bearded ones. but a greater
tendency to rust. The bearded yarie-
ties generally have harder grains and
weigh heavier than the beardless ones.

varieties, thc'Fultz, Early Ripe. Poole.

weak plants results. These are never
able to withstand Il severe winter.
Flowing for wheat should be done as
early in the summer as possible, and
frequent cultivation should be made
over the top of the ground.
For North Missouri wheat should
be sown from September 1st to the
few days later, according to Prof. De
maree. In South Missouri it is not
advisable to SOW earlier than the Goth
of September, and sowing may be con
tinued as late as the 10th to the 18th
Of October This later sowing in the
southern part of Missouri should be
practiced because of the ravageS of
the Hessian fly in the earlier-sown
wheat.
On badly worn lands the most remu-
nerative fertilizing application for
wheat will usually be one of the com
plete fertilizers containing from Il.
TO 81 per cent of nitrogen. from
to ~ per cent available phoSphoriC
acid. and from 2 to 3 per cent of pot
ash, applied with fertilizer drill at
the rate of 100 to $50 pounds to the
acre at the time the wheat is sown,
according to Prof Demaree. On lands
that have been fairly well kept up
in humus by crop rotation. manuring
and legume growing, the application Of
125 to $50 pounds OF good grade of
steamed bone meal will be better
practice. he says.
Perhaps the worst insect enemy of
wheat. according to Prof. Demaree. is
the Hessian fly. Although so trouble
some, they can be very well controlled
