USING GROUND
FEED FOR HOGS
Fed In Conjunction W4th Corn
Wil1 Bring Animals Up to
Large Weight In
Short Time.

In finishing hogs 1 make slop Of
ground oats and shelled corn (ground)
and small handful of oilmeal to each
hog, says a writer in Swine Breeders
Journal. This feed, in conjunction
with ear corn, or shock corn II posi-
Bile, will bring hogs up to large
weights in 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 1t or running it through a feed
mill. 1t may not be necessary to grind
it very fine, but 1t 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.

HOLIDAYS AND THEIR USES.


When 1t first occurred to any one to
celebrate an event or commemorate a
person, by cessation from toll and CIV
ing up day to idleness, amusement
and festivity, is not known, but 1t
must have been early in the history
of social evolution. In the savage
state of existence men lived from
hand to mouth. and were obliged to
hunt or fish every day to get their liv-
ing In more advanced stage. when
tillage of the soil became general,
when the years crops were garnered
and stored, there came time when
work could be intermitted, and 1t was
doubtless then that the first holiday
was instituted. 1t was natural to sig
nslize the annual ripening and gath
ering OF the fruits Of the earth by
some sort Of rejoicing. and 1t was nat
ural, too, that the manifestation OF re-
newed life In the spring should re-
ceive similar recognition. These au-
tumn and spring festivals may be call
ed the natural holidays. Once holidays
were started, 1t is not strange that
they grew in number, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. 1t is for most world
of toll and sweat and CRIME that we
live in, and an occasional break &C
companied by little recreation and
change of mental and physical envir-
onment, is necessary and salutary.
Consequently all sorts Of occasions
and events were availed Of to make
holidays.

being an estimate of the immigration
from the United States for 1912, the
consumption of coal will naturally In
crease.
The agricultural districts of Canada
have now become 80 well known
throughout the world, and the vacant
area of splendid land is still SO great
that 1t may be expected that the num-
bers mentioned will increase from
year to year, and it will not be many
years before the immigration figures
will reach the million mark.
It may be asked what Is there to
warrant this large immigration? With
millions of acres of land, capable of
producing twenty-five to forty bushels
of wheat to the acre; or, If in oats,
from forty to ninety and even as high
as hundred bushels per acre, or the
same splendid yields of fax or bar
ley, there Is ample inducement to at
tract these hundreds Of thousands who
are filling the present agricultural set
Elements and pushing forward into the
newer settlements year by year, and
leave room still for the hundreds of
thousands who will follow. There re-
mains not only the agricultural wealth
of the country, but there are also the
social advantages, the home-making
privileges, apart altogether from the
financial opportunities, there is the life
and the energy born from the knowl-
edge that the settler is more than
unit in the upbuilding, in the making
of a country that will soon rank
amongst the first in the nations of
the world. There is no desire on the
part of the writer to dwell upon the
success that has followed the Ameri-
can settler in the Provinces Of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta and
the coast Province of British Column
bia, or to speak of the thousands Of in
dividuals whose hundreds Of dollars
have made them thousands, but atten-
ton must be paid to the fact that these
people have done well. They are fol-
lowed by their families and their
friends, who also are doing well.
Where, a few years ago, seemingly
only months ago. there was nothing
