Points on Hog Raising.
bulletin Issued by the Government.

lSOuCO " OhC SONCl J
The author of this bulletin, Mr.. j.
A. Warren, a practical hog raiser,
made a thorough field study of pork
production in Nebraska and Iowa for
the Office of Farm Management. In
the introduction the author says:
"Hog raising has probably made
more clear money for the corn belt
farmers than any other enterprise.
In view of this fact one might expect
to find hogs the best housed of any
animals on the farm, but the opposite
is the case. There is no animal on
the farm which requires better pro-
lection from the cold then the hog,
none for which a good bed is more
necessary and none so much in need
of sunshine as the little pig. The
horse and the COW have good coats of
hair-even calf or colt when left
in the cold is provided with a good
fur coat; the hens feathers are the
best protection against cold; but the
hog has almost nothing between the
skin and the weather.
lone of the first requisites for sue
cess with hogs is shelter where
young pigs can be kept warm and
we'll supplied with sunshine and fresh
air. A little pig takes cold very
easily and RECEIVERS slowly if at all.
To prevent taking cold he must be
kept dry, warm, away from drafts
and provided with fresh air"
The most successful hog raiser
usually raise two filters of pigs a
year. They nave the SOW commence
narrowing about March the first, but
without good houses this is impractic
able. Early pigs are most profitable
for the following reasons:
l. If crowded they are usually
large enough to market in the fall be-
fore winter sets in.
2. They are generally large enough
to begin to eat forage as soon as past
ure is ready. This permits the hog
grower to have his pigs on pasture
throughout practically the entire
season.
3. Early pigs make more economi-
cal gains because they can be finished
for the market before the cold weather
sets in.
Without good houses two filters a
year can seldom be raised to advant-
age. The author of this bulletin
claims that his Investigation shows
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-06-01

that good hog men average seven pigs
raised to the litter, while the general
average raised on the farm does not
exceed four pigs to the litter; this
wide difference is due largely to
housing. This bulletin discusses the
prevailing poor conditions of hog
houses: the cost of housing pigs;
varieties of hog houses; examples of
faulty construction; two we'll built
permanent houses; hog cots or in
dividual houses; ventilation; how to
get sunlight into the pen.
AS pointed out in this bulletin one
of the most important features OF a
hog house is its construction so as to
permit the greatest amount of sun
light to fall upon the floor of the
narrowing pen. The author gives an
outline map of the United States,
showing even parallels of latitude
from Sc degrees north to 46 degrees
north. Tables are given which show
windows to receive the sunlight on
the floor during any month from jan
uary LIST to May 1st inclusive. The
little Pig says the author. loves the
sunshine and needs it most as much
as he needs food. No piggery is fit
for the purpose unless it admits direct
sunshine onto the floor Of every pen
at the time the pigs are narrowed,
furnishes plenty of fresh air, and
provides for exercise in the open air.
Dryness, sunshine, warmth, fresh air.
freedom from drafts and exercise are
of primary Importance in raising pigs
These secured, the battle is half won.
In putting up buildings the six re-
quirments just mentioned must be
kept constantly in mind not one can
be neglected.
This bulletin should be in the hands
of every farmer who is interested in
hog raising 1t is issued for general

To Rid Lawns of DandeIions

People who own lawns have been
more than usually annoyed by that
little yellow flower springing up all
over their lawns this spring. The
rather pretty little yellow flower is
the precursor of plant that threatens
not only the extinction of The lawn
but mars the beauty as well. The
dandelion is a vigorous grower and
threatens the grass in many lawn
as it spreads with most extraordinary
rapidly. The following remedy for
