USING GROUND
FEED FOR HOGS
Fed IN Conjunction With Corn
WaII Bring AnirnoIs Up to
Large Weight 2n
Short Time.

In finishing hogs make a slop OF
ground oats and shelled corn (ground)
and small handful of oilmeal to each
Journal. This feed, in conjunction
with ear corn. or shock corn If possi-
BILE. will bring hogs up to large
weights in a surprisingly short time.
l believe that most up-to-date stock
raisers will agree that with such kinds
of grain as wheat, rye and barley,
grinding and mixing with other feeds
Is absolutely essential. For example,
no one would think of feeding wheat
to hogs without first thoroughly soak
ing it or running it through feed
mill. 1t may not be necessary to grind
it very fine. but it should at least be
crushed pretty completely, or ground
fine enough SO that the hard, compact
portions of the grain will not go
through the animal. undigested. This
is true for old as well as young ami
mails.
Another point upon which most peo-
pie will agree is that for the young
growing stock, especially animals
which do not have full set of teeth,
grinding is necessary. 1t not only en-
ables young animals to get more of
their feed, but they eat greater guam
titles and grow much more rapidly.
On unground feed of the type noted,
young animal would do very little
good; but If wheat, barley, rye, ETC.,
be ground and mixed with little corn,
they will thrive.

Hunger Of a Prince.

An English actor was a member of a
company snowbound in the Sierras
while en- route from California to the
East, so that they all had a magnifi-
cent hunger when the train reached
small station at which there was a
restaurant, and the Englishman was
the first to find seat at a table.

landlord. burly Western man, IA

light weight mares and about one
third or one-quarter more than the
colts from the medium weight mares"
This summary was drawn up after
some careful thinking, upon the ques-
tion being put to the secretary by an
extensive land owner looking forward
to the purchase and breeding of
horses, what kind of mares should
use? l want to know all things con-
sidered, whether / should buy 1900
pound, 1,400 pound or 100 pound
mare?" In other words. the land
owner as a business man wanted to
know whtat would be the relative cost
of maintenance, what the relative effi-
cheney on the farm and what the rela-
tive market valuo OF the colts pro-
duced, of these three classes of mares.
Here is how he thinks out the mat
ter. and his thinking was based on ex-
tended observation and experience:
All three classes can, Of course, be
managed, as far as maintenance cost
is concerned, at about the same gen.
eral figures. But in respect to working
efficiency, II We rate the 1,700 pound
horse at 100 per cent, liberal allow
ance is made If the 1,450 pound horse
is credited at 80 per cent, and the
1900 pound horse at 80 per cent. The
colts bred to a good draft sire will
average somewhere about 1900
pounds; colts from 1,450 pound mares
1000 to LOO pounds, and colts from
1,700 pound mares, 1900 to 1000
pounds. Then. too, the lighter weight
colts necessarily make their full
weight only at maturity and they will
not be fit to sell until they are four
and one-half or five years Of age The
same Is true of the medium weight
colts, but buyers are securing tho
country for heavy colts. Every good
gelding is gathered up at three years
of age. The heavier colts sell earlier,
or If carried until they are older and
then put on the market, the prices ad-
vance accordingly. Colts weighing
around 1900 pounds will not bring
more than s140 to SITS on the average,
because : they come in competition
with the great glut of common
light drafters on the market. Those
weighing around 1850 pounds to 1,700
pounds will bring 5000 to s240, and
heavy weight geldings will bring $500
to $3.50. The heavy mares therefore
produce colts that bring from one
third to twice as much money as the
lower weight mares.

Lewis from crawling under the fence.
Tommy sneaked along the ravine,
fishing pole in one hand an a can OF
bait in another. Finally he came to
place where a large cottonwood
tree was growing. After casting an
eye in every direction and satisfy
ing himself that the farmer was not
in sight, he began to unravel his
line. He was just batting his hook
when the farmer appeared
