MANAGE SWINE FOR PROFIT
Good SIres Are Essential II Hogs Of
Highest Quality Are to Be Grown

Hogs can be made profitable class
Oh stock on most Wisconsin farms
with proper breeding and care. writes
J. @. Fuller and A 8. Alexander Of
the agricultural experiment station Of
the University of Wisconsin, in bull
letin, No. 184, issued by the station.
Swine production in Wisconsin is gen.
orally carried on as side line to 9TH
er kinds of farming. principally dairy
ing.
For Wisconsin conditions the lard
type is the most profitable to raise,
although In q few instances bacon
hogs have brought good returns.
Good individuals of the Poland China.
Duroc-Jersey, Berkshire or Chester
White breeds are desirable for breed
ing stock.
Good sires are very essential If hogs
of the highest quality are to be grown
and a uniformly profitable herd built
up, according to these writer's. Only
pure-bred boars should be kept, and
these should be carefully selected to
insure prepotency, quality and sound
ness. Sows must be carefully selected
to insure large and healthy litters.
Rations for breeding swine must be
planned according to the needs of the
animals. The foods which will keep
both boars and sows in best condition
are preferable. Breeding animals
should be grown. not fattened Bears
and soWS need plenty OF exercise and
variety Of nourishing food, but no
fat-forming materials. Corn alone is
very poor feed for sows and should
never be given exclusively.
The amount of feed for the SOW
should be changed to suit her condi-
tion, the amount increased while she
is nursing litter, and some wheat
bran and oilmeal added to aid the d.
gestive organs. Comfortable bed
ding should be provided and the SOW
closely watched at narrowing time.
The care Of young pigs is the foun-
dauon for fattening the market ami
NAL. Common diseases and parasites
can only be avoided by the constant,
regular use of the best methods of pre-
vention. Constant vigilance is the
price Of clean swine herd. Regular
dipping, close observation to detect
the early stages Of the various
troubles, sanitary quarters and bed
ding. with careful feeding, can alone
prevent serious losses.

RACE SUICIDE
AMONG FARMERS
Decline In Population Shown by
Last Census In Ag T ric u Itur al
Areas Due to DISCOURAGE.
ment of married Workers.
(By C. r. BARNS.)

The pitiful story was told recently
in northern daily paper of an in
dustrious and capable farm laborer
who had answered several advertise
ments Of farmers in need of just such
experienced services as he was able
to render; but whose application was
rejected, in each instance, because he
had a wife and two small children.
The farmers wanted neither women
nor children about their farms. So
this competent farm worker was
obliged to accept employment in a
city stable.
1t is to be feared that this is by no
means an Isolated instance. Human
kindness has been so far eliminated,
in many cases, from the relationship
between the farmer and his hired
help, and that relationship has been
put so exclusively on a hard business
basis, that the complaint is common
that "the farmer cares more for the
comfort and happiness of his cattle
and hogs than he does for the we'll
being of his men,"
Under healthier conditions in rural
life, the married workman would re-
ceive the same preference that he
generally does from employers in
mercantile and manufacturing pur-
suits; as being more reliable and less
likely to seek change, If fairly we'll
treated, than the single man. Aside
from this. however. there is moral
and social obligation. resting at least
as strongly on the farmer as on any
one else, to encourage family life
among workers, and thus to promote
stability in rural populations and to
discourage the nomadism among Ia
borers which is the bane Of our agri-
cultural enterprises.
It, is altogether probable that the
actual decline in population. shown

MILK PRODUCTION is COSTLY
Connecticut Dalryman Who Has Not
Profited Much Through His BusI-
ness Tells Story.

A Connecticut dairyman writes the
Rural New Yorker as follows, touch
ing his experience as to the cost OF
producing milk:
This is my account for 1909: Aver
age price of COW, $65. have II cows
but give Just one. Milk produced in
one year, $500 quarts: sold at four
cents in summer and five cents In
winter, $112.50. Cost of feed, hay, two
tons, at $18, $36; seven tons silage at
"a. $2S; cost Of grain. $36; pasture
and bedding, $S; depreciation in value
and interest. insurance, taxes. $14; to-
tai. $122. This leaves me In. debit.
$3.50.
Two hours every day carting milk

wagon; we must whitewash our barns
and keep clean; we must have brushes

cine when wanted. salt, etc. For all
this we get calf worth 50 and 50

I know lots of others produce less. l
have been trying to weed out, but 1t is
very hard to buy good COWS, for 1t
seems that everybody is in the same
business. Nobody wants to sell a
good COW. am not in position to
raise my own cows.
Every farmer who WHOLESALERS milk
at less than five cents per quart is in
losing game. If had sold my milk
at FIVE cents all the year round 1t
would be $125. That would make me
come out even. You understand that

cows at less than the market price.

This was Wednesday. The letter

buggy and drove to Elmwood, four
miles distant, in state Of turmoil
He was so absorbed in his thoughts
that he forgot that the express did
not stop at Elmwood until he saw 1t
whizzing past. He made all speed to
Elk River where 1t was scheduled to
stop, expecting to find his passengers
there, but he saw no one save the
station master who was locking up
the waiting room.

Quality and Size Of EGG.

While food affects the quality of the
egg, 1t cannot increase the size of
the egg. You can always increase the
egg production by feeding the proper
kind and amount Of food, but you
cannot induce the hen to lay larger
egg by methods of feeding. This
comes by heredity, and must be done
by methods of breeding from large egg
strains.
