lives to be returned. Each is opposed
on an issue of anti-Taft, anti-Can-

has fostered the candidacy OF all the
insurgents opposing the six regular
candidates. His friends, however, are
said 10 have decided at-the-e close OF
the campaign, to swap" with the
stronger regulars for little support
BY this reputed plan voters known to
be regular will vote for Stubbs While
insurgents will vote for Anthony and

Feed and Management Of Pigs
Preparatory To Marketing

ture, feed once a day and that at night
Skim MIX Good.
Feeding skim milk at weaving time
makes the change from the mother's
milk easier. Since butter fat is worth
$500 to 1850 a ton, feeding whole milk
makes it expensive pig feed. Tankage
may be used to take the place of milk
when made about a fifth the total
weight of the grain fed. Feeding a
mixture OF at least two of the follow
ing will give the pigs a variety and
result in larger and cheaper gains than
will any single feed: Peas, barley,
wheat, rye, milo maize, corn.
Do not allow the feed to become sour
when making it and keep all troughs
and pals clean Some grain should be
fed, for 1t is not profitable to keep
a growing pig on pasture alone. Half
the weight of a 200 pound pig should
be made from pasture. Alfalfa Is the
best pasture without doubt, followe by
rape, clover, and mixture of wheat,
oats and barley Every day should
see a regular gain in the growing pig,
made with the least feed Of grain pos
sible and the largest profitable amount
of forage. It is not advisable to water
directly from stream because II often
carries disease. but fresh water must
always be before them. A warm, dry,
clean shelter, free from draft is neces-
sary, and enc that will provide shade
during the heat of the day
Preparing for Market.
When the pig is almost ready for
market II should be confined in limited
quarters and fed heavily on grain for
from 60 to IS days Hogs make the
greatest gains when they are allowed
just enough exercise to keep their ap-
petites sharp They should be divided
into lots Of even size and not more than
% allowed per half acre. Brood sows
should not be kept with fattening hogs
Feed two or three times day at regu-
lar hours and give just a little less
than they viii eat up clean. The great
est profits result from inducing the
hogs to eat large quantities of grain
and maintain a good appetite Watch
ing them as they eat will indicate
whether they are over feeding or wheth-
er they clean up the feed quickly and
need more. Feeding the hogs on foods
rich in protein makes them thirsty, so
water should be plentiful.
Before being marketed, the hog
should be well fattened, smooth and
well rounded, firm and solid to the
touch. They should be graded to an
even size and weight and then shipped.
