rushed through the month of No vember, or until conditions are right for marketing.
 The cleafest profit is made in ten months, at which age. the hogs ought to average 250 pounds. Animals that get good pasturage, and about such diet as I have described. are pretty sure to escape disease. It is essential to have plenty of pure water iii the hog lot.
 The farm should include three or four small fields, securely fenced, so that one kind of forage could be rested while the other was used. Then again. if the owner detects fever or other sickness in the herd. 1t is easy to segregate those animals which are affected. Prompt action along this line may prevent heavy loss.
 Dipping is another essential, and as it is neither difficult or expensive, it ought to be attended to, twice each summer. With this kind of hog farm ing, cholera will not be known, and the stock will get steady growth from beginning to end
 If the weather be severe, when 1t comes to the last month of feeding, the hogs should be kert In clean, roomy pens, but even to the last day, they should have some succulent for age-plant to eat. Clover or alfalfa IS suitable for this, and carrots are ex- eellent, in connection with the corn, or peas.
 It Is for the good of the animal, and of course for the owners pocket, that a program of this kind be marked out. Feeding 50-cent corn. for six or eight months will not do. Farmers must learn that forage is natural to the hog and that it will give the growth at a small cost.
 Allowing full rental value for the land, the cost of all food supplies and the wage value of the time taken up in the care of the stock, from the date of birth, to the marketing 100 hogs 10 months old averaging 250 pounds, can be turned off, at a cost not ex- ceding s7o0.
 It may be done for little less, but if it is to be a business proposition, let it be figured as a business man would count the expense. With care ful experimenting and observation, for several years, l get no figures very far from $7 for marketable hog weighing 250 pounds

AIDS FOR THE
 HOG BREEDER
Two Pastures Better Than One Vicious Animal Should be Killed -Provide
 Shelter.

The breed of white hogs Is rapidly disappearing from this country.
 Free range for hogs does not mean that they should be allowed to run over our neighbor's farm.
 With good fence wire as cheap as 1t is today 1t Is an easy matter to di- vide up the hog pasture into convenient lots.
 Two pastures are better than one, because while the hogs are feeding in one field the other will be recover ing and later furnish much more at tractiye feed than as If both pastures are used as one.
 The vicious hog that Is forever breaking out and causing trouble for ones neighbor cannot be killed too quickly.
 It is good plan to provide sum. mer shelter for the hogs on high spot where the wind will have a full sweep.

 Every farmer, who raises as many as 100 hogs in a year, ought to divide them into spring and fall herds. By this means he will be able to distrib ute the labor to suit his convenience economize in room, sell when the mar ket suits him. and furnish his custo- mers on short notice, any kind of pork desired, from suckling-roast to prime bacon.
 The thoroughly practical man can turn hogs into money very rapidly, but the business needs to be on scale extensive enough to enable him to properly divide his fields and build ings. and to make thorough experi- ments, with different types. and differ ent kinds of food
 l have observed two or three bad failures recently, which were caused primarily. by the old and erroneous Idea that hogs do not require much ground room or forage

ALFALFA PEST
 WORKS INJURY
weeviI IS Not Native to America,
 But Introduced From Europcs Asia and Africa.
By F. NJ. WEBSTERO

The alfalfa weevil is not native to America, but has been accidentally in troduced from Europe. western Asia, or northern Africa, where it is very common, and where. while more or less destructive to alfalfa, 1t is prob ably prevented by it's natural enemies from working serious and widespread rayages.
 The insect winters entirely in the beetle stage, seeking shelter. before the frosts of autumn commence, either in the crowns of alfalfa plants, close to the surface of the ground In the field CT under leaves, matted grass, weeds. and rubbish along ditch banks. hay stacks and straw stacks Indeed 1t is oftentimes found in barns where hay Is kept over winter
 It has been estimated that fully so per cent of the beetles that go into winter quarters in the fall live through until spring. With the coming of spring the beetles make their way

INFLUENCE OF 4 P00R SIRE
improvement in Types of Horses Bred on Our Farms of Greatest Inn
 portance to Farmer.

The fact that the sire Is concerned with so many more individual of- spring in a given season than a sin gle mare, makes 1t readily seen that his influence is much more extensive. 1 To improve the horse stock of gi"en community through the female line, for instance, would require the use of fifty or more superior mares to ac- complish the same results as might be secured by the use of a single stal- lion
 Purity of breeding insures prepo- tency and since. in the grading-up pro- cess the pure-bred parent is usually the sire. 1t is essential that he be of such character that the impression which he stamps upon his offspring shall be only of the best.
 Defects in structure cannot be off set 5y type or breeding of the high est degree of eXcellency. A horse may be a superior individual in q class by himself. but he must conform closely to the specified requirements of the type with which he should class.
 The influence of well-bred sires in any community can readily be seen by observing the horses used in the fields. on the road and particularly in the horse markets of the cities.
 Certain states that have paid at tention to horse-breeding, now pro- duce animals that can almost be told at a glance by dealers. without know ing in advance where they came from, so superior Is their quality. Other states have exactly the reverse repu- tation and as soon as lot is an Heunced as coming from such state, dealers will desert the sale ring.

little corn soaked in water Is good when the pigs begin to show growth.
 What they need above all else. how ever, is the range. with just about such line of food as would be re- quired to give young cattle steady and rapid growth. Field-peas ought to be available toward the end of summer. The hogs can be allowed to do the harvesting themselves.
 This will give firmness and sweet ness to the flesh, and could be used right through the fall. instead of corn My preference would be to give the final month to a dressing up with corn. This crop being ready in Octo- ber the fattening process can be

FEEDING SlLAGE TO SHEEP
Experiments Have Shown It to Be Desirable for Animals During Win
 ter-Much Care Needed.

i A series of exhaustive tests at the .onstrated beyond doubt that good silage used judieiously is an extreme ly desirable feed for sheep in winter 1t has an excellent effect upon the di- gestive system and upon the general health and thrift of the lambs. Ewes fed during the winter on rations in- cluding a liberal amount of silage gain an average each winter ol 20 pounds, while those similarly fed without sil. age gain only 1512 pounds. Those re ceiving the silage also consume more than [ per cent less grain and over 32 per cent less clover hay than those maintained exclusively upon dry feed. 1t also had a valuable effect upon the fleece. those receiving silage having a slightly heavier coat of wool. Of the lot of fall lambs which were finished as hothouse lambs during the spring of 1909 those fed on silage ratiops were considerably fatter and better than the ones receiving dry rations,
 It should not be assumed however that an undue amount of silage will prove satisfactory in the feeding ra- tion. Extreme care should also be ob- served not to feed frozen or partially decayed silage or silage unusually sour Balance the ration up with plenty of clover or alfalfa hay. or other good. palatable roughage and dry grain.

As one puncture may contain anywhere from a few to over 30 eggs, probably 10 or 15 on the aver age, this single plant presumably con tained between l 200 and 1900 eggs at the time 1t was observed. If these matched and half of them developed into female beetles and so per cent of the latter passed the winter, this plant might in a year give rise to over 150.- GOO beetles.
 The alfalfa weevil has no natural enemies. except frogs and toads, both of which are by far too few in num- bers to greatly restrict the ravages of the pest.

Radon for Young Porkers.

The hog grower of the future in pork production as business propo- sition. and not using hogs merely as scavengers in the field lot must take cognizayce of the fact that the young pigs up to the age of six months need a growing and not fattening ration. and that their feeding must be tenn pered with judgment.

Their MINDS FOCUS WRONG
Why Many Persons Fail to Perceive
Events Clearly and IN the Right
Proportion.

The yeriest amateur in photogra-
ply knows that a view OF an object
may be completely distorted by being
out Of focus. and thus give an entirely
wrong notion Of its relative proper
tions To get the correct focus the
eye Of the camera must be neither too
close nor too far from what is to be
photographed
SO It Is with the human vision.
though merely a mental photograph.
The same precision Of focus is neces.
sary to arrive at relative values. The
trouble with too many people IS that
their minds focus wrong. and grasp
events at either too near or too great
distance or from extreme angles. or
magnify unimportant details at the
expense Of the vital elements.
The man who is out Of focus with
his surroundings or with the subject
be is discussing IS quite common. and
the peculiar ideas OF which he be-
comes obsessed are as bizarre as a
Photograph made by freak camera.
To get such a man back inno focus is
much more difficult than to adjust a

be done IN order to give him clear
perception and enable him to SEQ
things in their right relation. Omaha
