Of soft coal in the heating plant Of the
university are very much relished by
pigs and will answer this same pur-
pose and are much cheaper than coal
itself.
In order TO supply the necessary
mineral ingredients these pigs should
have, besides the salt and ashes, free
access to ground limestone or air
slaked lime, bonemeal or else rock
phosphate and charcoal. These vari-
Gus substances might be put into sepa-
rate parts of trough and set into the
yard where the pigs can have free ac-
cess to them. Inasmuch as different To-
calities supply different amounts Of
various mineral substances in the soil,
water and plants grown on the soil, 1t
is not known just how much Of these
various materials pigs require in such
places. Furthermore, the mineral re-
quirements OF animals have not as yet
been very definitely worked out from
the scientific standpoint. This being
true, the writer has been able to get
good results by adopting the method
as above outlined. OF course. besides
the mineral matter, they must also be
fed right in other respects as previous

with piece of pork laid over its

the cooking in very hot oven. bast-
ing frequently with the drippings.
When ready to serve skim off any su.
perfuous fat that may be In the pan
before preparing the gravy. The pork
prevents the fowl from becoming dry,

the conclusions drawn that dry corn
is highly relished by hogs and the most
convenient to feed. Owing to the
greater time required to masticate it,
pigs ate it more slowly than soaked
corn and cornmeal.
The fastest and most economical
gains were obtained by feeding dry
ear corn until the hogs were close to
200 pounds in weight Attention is
called to the fact that whether fed dry
or soaked before feeding, a bushel Of
corn ground without the cob made
more pork than a bushel Of corn
ground with the cob. A bushel of ear
corn made as much gain as one and
one-third bushels ground into corn and
cobmeal at the expense of cents
bushel.
Writing on this subject. the Ameri.
can Swineherd says:
The farmer who makes practice Of
raising grain exclusively. hauling 1t
to the elevator and selling it is robbing
himself, or. in other words, depicting
the fertility Of the farm.
Every year as the crop is gathered
and sold off the place it is left with de-
creased productive power for the fu-
ture. 1t is like mining or digging out
the value of the soil and shipping to
the market. 1t is selling your farm
virtually through the elevator
Selling the corn by the hog route OF
through any other live stock is retain
ing the fertility. By proper system
Of diversified farming and rotation Of
crops you can build up and improve
instead of destroying the productive
ness.

COAL and MINERALS
FOR GROWING PIGS

In order that pigs may be able to do
their best they should have certain
amounts of mineral matter. protein.
carbohydrates, fat and water, besides
an abundance Of exercise. writes Will
liam Dietrich of the Illinois expert
ment station in the Breeders Gazette.
1t is a matter Of common experience
that pigs that are fed an excessive
amount Of coal are likely to be trou-
bled with constipation. Whether this
will be entirely avoided by feeding the
right amount of protein and water is
not definitely known. AT any rate,
the way these pigs Ego after" the coal
indicates very clearly that their sys-
TENS demand mineral substances. In
other words, their ration does not con-
tain some particular mineral mate
rails that the body demands. The re-
suit is that the pigs eat the coal very
greedily because 1t is the next avail

Pasture The Pias.

The pig that has been supplied with
an abundance OF pasture and small
grain ration during the summer
should weigh from $50 to 175 pounds
by the latter part Of September A
short period Of heavy feeding will fin
ish them for market at 200 to 275
pounds in weight. Pork grown in this
way will yield far more profit than
where the process is strung out longer
and the hogs are finished to heavier
weights. The cheapest gains are al
ways made while the pig is young. 1t
is poor policy to starve and stunt pig
during the first few months, expecting
to make it up by heavy feeding later.
The 100 pound pig makes gains 20 per
cent cheaper than the 200 pound pig IL
equally thrifty.

Good Stable Remedy.

Old cows and young heifers, even
young calves, respond speedily TO the

it is a valuable remedy to keep on

this remedy makes it more lively. Do

but keep good watch over all her

A Death Lure.

According TO tradition, ZENITH. the

er Of Fennela, who TO be avenged or
dered Wiltus, famous silversmith. to
construct death dealing statue or sill

basin and in the left hand an apple
Of pure gold, both set with diamc.as
and other precious stones. To touch
the apple was to defy death, it being
so arranged that any one guilty Of
such vandalism would be Immediately
riddled by poisoned arrows shot from
openings in the body of the statue.
ZENITH was invited to inspect the Ven.
der. and. as Fennella had hoped, ho

Raps and Corn For Lambs.

Rape and corn should be sown In
the spring for the ewes and lambs
Through the hot summer months. They
should be changed from one pasture to
another at least every two weeks and
should be turned on the corn or rape
once day after the dew Is off. Corn
drilled very thickly Is better than rape,
especially If the ground is likely to be
weedy. as the corn will keep down
weeds better than rape. but 1t is well
to sow both.
