Pastures Are Needed.

TIE way to raise cheap pork Is to
keep the hogs on thoroughly good per-
manent pastures and on good pasture
crops such as peas. oats and vetch.
rye, sorghum, peanuts, soy beans, vel
vet beans and so forth. 1t is an easy
matter to have rotation of pasture
crops that last for twelve months in
the year. Keep the plan of good pas
lures and pasture crops going all the
time.
We must not attempt to produce
cheap pork on corn alone. That can
not be done in any state. Corn is oft
en- worth about one dollar per bushel.
Corn at such a price can only be used
as a supplement to the other cheap
feeds by the hogs themselves makes
the growing of hogs profitable.

Red Dawn.


Presently Amber rose and quietly
exchanged dressing gown and slippers
for his own shooting jacket and boots
which by now were dry, thanks to
Doggott's thoughfulness in placing
them near the fire.
The shabby tin clock had droned
through 80 minutes since Rutton had
spoken his last word. In that inter
val, sitting face to face, and for a lit
tie time hand in hand, with the man
to whom he had pledged his honor,
Amber had thought deeply, carefully
weighing ways and means; nor did ho
move until he believed his plans ma
ture and definite.
But before he could take one step
