Sheaf oats are relished by the
horses.
Do not be in too much OF a hurry
to wean the pigs.
Soft coal or charcoal Is to the hog
as pie to the boy.
Cottonseed meal is not considered
good feed for swine.
An important part of hog raising is
to know Just when to market.
Never go to bed without going down
to see how things are at the barn.
A hog cannot sleep comfortable in a
draft of wind; he will catch cold very
easily.
| 1t is the gains that the lambs make
during the fall that determine the
feeders profits.
The few public tests of silage for
wintering beef COWS have given en-
phatically favorable results.
Hay troughs should be SO fixed that
particles will not fall through and be-
come entangled in the fleece.
Oregon experiment station shows
that one acre of good clover for grow
ing hogs represents value Of $44.
Brood sows require mixed diet,
and one containing plenty OF protein
and not too much fattening quality.
Too many farmers kill their good
brood sows because of the temptation
to sell for the high prices. This is a
mistake.
] Sheep are comfort lovers and the
man who neglects to provide them
with good. dry shelter makes cost
ly error.
The pig, like every other young ami
NAL, loves to be alert and to be NOV

longs to such nature.
A spring pig will bring pigs the fol-
lowing spring and will make better
growth and, as a rule, prove more
profitable than fall pig.
While there is considerable invest
ment in the brood sows, still 1t pays
better to keep the good ones because
they will produce more uniform pigs.

MUCH LOSS OF PLANT FOOD
LeachIng Of the Soil by Irrigated Water
Should Be Avoided as Much a.
Possible.

(By C. w. COLVER. Utah University Elk
pertinent Staton)
A certain amount OF plant food Is
removed from the land by irrigation
water which should be restored to all
cultivated soils. II as much Ia returned
to productive soil as Ii taken
away. such q soil will never become
exhausted. Therefore an especial
consideration should be given to all
phases of the subject that deals with
the conservation OF the plant food ele-
ments that are already in the soil.
In Idaho's irrigated districts the
largest part Of the plant food taken
from the soil is removed by the grow
ing crops, but the amount OF valua-
BILE plant forming elements that are
lost in waste and drainage water may
not be inappreciable.
The results OF some experiments.
conducted at one OF our leading ex-
pertinent stations, located in a nom
irrigated district, show that the drain
age water carries away an average Of
1913 pounds OF nitrogen per acre a
year from the top twenty inches Of
soil. Although potash, phosphoric
the soils rs readily as nitrogen. 1t has
been clearly shown that the amount
Of those elements In the drainage wa
tiers is not small
II the mineral plant foods are SO
easily detected in the drainage from
lands watered only by rain, the loss
on an irrigated farm, unless the wa
ter is carefully applied, will be con-
siderably greater. If large stream
of water is allowed to run all night
through short rows of vegetables and
berries and for days over grain and
alfalfa fields these elements that are
assimilated by the growing plants will
either be carried below the range of
plant roots and lost in the under
ground drainage, or will be carried off
in the waste ditch to enrich some farm
further down the canal.
To reduce this teaching of the soil
by the irrigated water to a minimum,
as far as possible excessive flooding.
resulting in large streams of waists
water, should be avoided.

arated from the pullets just as soon
as they are old enough to be distin.
guished. It would be better II they
could be kept in an enclosure not far
from the pullets. particularly at the
beginning Of each laying season. says
a writer in an exchange.
We are going to repeat here what
we have SO many times said, that the
best use for the cockerels is to make
capons Of them. Every cockerel that
is not kept for breeding purposes
ought to be caponized.

Rape for Swine.

Rape ranks next to clover as for.
age plant for swine, although they
differ in their nutritive value. When
both can be raised and swine allowed
to pasture on both it makes matters
well-nigh IDEAL Rape can in no way
be detrimental to pregnant sows un,
less they are compelled to subslst
wholly upon it, which would not be
wise. 1t would not he wise for the
breeder to depend wholly upon any
one food for growing pigs or pregnant
sows.
